I haven't played too many games since 6th with my mech vets list, I was wondering what has really changed tactically for the guard and this list in particular. What to watch out for at tournaments, how to plan for the meta ( I know the necron flying circus is popular).
My list was all melta vets, 5 squads in chimeras and a company command squad armed with meltas 3 vendettas, and 2 manticore and a Russ.

I've been leaning more towards plasma now that you can move and rapid fire, also since terminator armies seem popular. I was also going to take two lrbts and a medusa instead of the manticores.

Has anyone had any luck with mech vets since hull points have been added or are chimeras now just a points sink?
