What do you think? 9-15 large blasts, 14 melta guns, 9 AV12s on the field.

I like it but I think you need at least three troops at 1500. What toys do feel like dropping/downgrading?

I don't think you need those valks if you have three manticore's. That's your anti-horde right there. Stormtroopers dont need them, either.

I would drop them for more vets, maybe a PBS.

I would also consider dropping a manticore for a couple of hydras.

Fair point. I scrapped the CCS for a pysker and another meltavet squad. 3 troops is pretty vulnerable, but it's unlikely they'll be targetted over the big hitters.

I don't want a generic leafblower list.
With the six large blasts from the Valkyries you're looking at a huge number of armour saves from marines. Plus the Multi-lasers and HBs giving a further 3.2 wounds. Plus the instant-death Manticores, I think they'll be able to take out heavy infantry fine.

Recount your meltavets squads. You could only have a possible 9 meltas in 3 squads (having 3 each per vet squad). Personally vendettas are overrated, they tend to get smacked out of the sky pretty quickly. i would trade them out for some autocannon/lascannon Sentinels or some Bane Wolves ( which I personally loooooooooooooove)

Looks good for the most part though.

I think you need more troops. Having 30 T3 5+ armour save guys isn't a lot, you will also need a unit to babysit your objective.

I don't think you need those Valkyries as you have Manticores to do the same job. Vendettas would serve you better as dedicated anti tank and monstrous creature slayers. You will only need two, which you can invest the remaining points into another troop unit.

Just wanted to say Mercer...

AMAZINGLY AWESOME GUARD ARMY IN THE GALLERY!!!
