you can only take 3 special weapons and 1 heavy weapons for vets also if you know your fighting hords then get 3 grenad lanchers and 1 heavy bolter(and or auto cannon or motor)

but other then the granades you have 0 heay vehical killing power if you will want some heavy killing power such as nid killers i would get snipers and las cannons because snipers can rend and las can ... well its just las

What jbsnv said and also, you have no HQ units.

HQ: CCS; lascannon -70
Troops:
Vets; x3 sniper (or grenade launcher), autocannon (or heavy bolter) -95
Vets; x3 sniper (or grenade launcher), autocannon (or heavy bolter) -95
Vets; x3 sniper (or grenade launcher), autocannon (or heavy bolter) -95
Fast:
Scout Sentinal, missile launcher -45
Scout Sentinal, missile launcher -45
Scout Sentinal, missile launcher -45

Total: 490

You've got a BS4 lascannon, 9 snipers, 3 autocannons and 3 missile launchers. This would be able to sit and fire then use the MMM order on your vets to get them to objectives before the end of the game. Or you can drop the Sentinels and add Chimeras to your vets for added anti-horde firepower, let them sit and fire for the first few turns then rush for the objectives.

Also, you don't have to worry about monsterous creatures at this point level.

Thanks a lot for the tips guys. I am liking where this is going.

yes he does its at the bottom.


True gunline would be platoons but vets still work.

From what I see it looks fine. You wont see MC's or heavy vehicles so your auto-cannons can take care of light vehicles. The plasma A/C combo is fine the list looks great imho. I personally run mech vets at 500 points but to each there own.

Well at the moment I have no chimeras. In the market for some. But thanks. New to the game looking forward to playing guard this list is all I have in units.

Well, it's not as effective as a chimera, but the Forward Sentries doctrine helps too. Gives you stealth and defensive grenades. So then you can have tons of vets without vehicles and it alteast gives them a +3 save in cover. But rememeber, they're still T3 models, they get hit, they're dead. lol

well i would scrap the ccs las cannon and for the vets if they have snipers go with auto cannon if you go nads then go heavy bolter

and sentnals with missles is fine but thats your only anti tank you dont have alot of armor 14 killing but you should only entcounter 1 land raider i would keep a meltagun on your ccs just incase

So, take out one of those vet squads and use the points to flush out all of your special weapons slots, and this should do fine.
