Looks okay to me. I'm not a big fan of AT squads personally - too few wounds to guns for my taste. However, your basic pairing of AT/anti-MEQ infantry with AP vehicles looks pretty solid. If I was writing this list, I'd have melta-drop storm troopers and another tank instead of the Psykers and AT squad, but I guess they work for you if they're in your list. Good luck in the tourney.

When soldiers think, it's called routing.

Cheeseball? How the hell is this cheesey? It's not even my list buyt I find that statement to be WAY out of bounds.

JFC, we're dealing with IG here. OFCOURSE it's cookie cutterish. That's what you get from an army that can't min/max and has to use resources on Chimeras (chimerae?).

On the ohter hand, how often do you see worthless Psykers in IG armies? I bet he did that so people wouldn't say he was cheesy. That's the only reason I could see them there.

I'd love to see your version of a mech IG list that was much different from this. Considering 5 of his SQDs + the Chimerae are MANDATORY, doubt there is much you could do. Maybe it's the weapon options you are referring to. Thye are just good tactics, mixing Tanks for AP and troops with AT. Ofcourse, it could be the use of Chamo cloaks. I haven't seen many mech guys use those. Granted, he used 60 points worth of it. I'd love to know how you'd spend those 60 points considering anything he gets needs a chimera which gosts 80+ pts.

About the only thing I would do is drop the AT sqd for similar reasons that have been addressed. Maybe change out the Psykers for RRs. HH's are a pretty good investment as well.

Don't be fooled by all of the different options you see in the IG Codex Mr. Atkinson. Most are crap and the reason tourney IG are so similar.

The only real suggestion I have is that you may want to drop the sponsons on your Leman Russes and give them Extra Armor. Now, sponsons look good on paper, but they usually end up never getting used unless you plan to field a Leman Russ Exterminator. I understand that you already probably modeled them a certain way, but for future reference, you may want to cut those off sponsons and just put some "plates" on the side and just claim it to be extra amor as well.

If you're not attached to the psyker, I'd drop the psyker (and doctrine) and the AT-squad for a SW-squad with demo charge. I think that leaves you with enough points for a hellhound.

Jesus... 30 men at 1500. That's not much. I hope the dice Gods are really on your side come game time.

"A little cheeseball.. I wouldn't take this to a tourney because you have no variety in your units. Everything is cookie cutter."

Go back to the GW boards troll. He's arming his units exactly as they should be armed for MechInf - Troops kill tanks, tanks kill troops.

I'd drop all non-las/plas squads and add another line squad (that includes the psychers). I'd also downgrade the demolisher to a regular russ and add as many hellhounds as you can fit in. To sum up: 4 las/plas line squads, 1 flamer command, 1 ID/standard command, 2 russes with HB and battle cannon, 2 hellhounds. All chimerae have ML/HB.

cheers
