I've been thinking for a while about starting up a second army but wanted to go for something a bit different. I got my hands on a copy of Imperial Armour Vol.1 2nd Ed and came up with this from their cool tank company list.


List changed and now further down the page

one thing I remember from back when the armoured company was legal via the whitedwarf dex was that lists like this ran into trouble alot if the enemies troops/special characters/outflank you/ got into contact ,so I might suggest some meat shields

Other than that,I would say this list would be rather brutal to deal with,,,.ugh,,,,but Id still give it a go with my foot guard,lol

1) Your list is not legal. Vultures are 0-1, and you don't have the second HQ required to make a legal double FOC list.

2) You have way too many upgrades. Dozer blades on LRBTs that have a 72" range gun and never need to move, 50+ points of useless stuff on the HQ tanks, etc.

3) You have no scoring units. If you fail to table your opponent you are almost guaranteed to lose.

4) You have too many LRBTs. They're only worth using as commissar/HQ tanks with infernus shells, for troops you want Demolishers/Executioners/Thunderers.

Damn forgot only infantry can be scoring. And yeah missed the vulture 0-1, annoying as other guard can have 3 slots filled with em but oh well. Done a bit of a revamp tell me what you think:


HQ

Command Tank - Leman Russ Battle Tank - Infernus Shells, artificer hull - 195

Elites

Commissar Tank - Leman Russ Vanquisher - lascannon, co-axial heavy stubber, beast hunter shells - 205

Leman Russ Demolisher - 165

Leman Russ Annihilator - lascannon - 165

Armoured Fist Veterans - 10 men, 2 plasma guns, chimera with twin linked heavy bolters - 195

Armoured Fist Veterans - 10 men, 2 plasma guns, chimera with twin linked heavy bolters - 195

Fast Attack

Vulture Gunship - Twin linked punisher cannons, infra red targetting - 160

Scout Sentinel - Multiple rocket pod - 45

Heavy Support

Medusa Siege Gun - bastion breacher shells - 140

2000

So do you not rate LRBT's without the special shells? Also do you think the sponsons on the annihilator will actually be useful or should I drop them? And is that enough infantry? As I'm thinking a third might be required...

Edit: Removed command tanks extra armour and the annihilators mutimelta sponsons in favour of the scout sentinel

*Bump*

Any other suggestions?
