I have been working on an IG 1500 point list for http://www.astronomi-con.com/ events, as well as local games. The composition must follow these rules http://astronomiconportal.wordpress.com/tournament-rules/composition/ but losing a few points to remain fun and/or competitive is OK with me.

: Aegis Defence Lines (100 pts)
1 Aegis Defence Lines
1 Gun Emplacement, Quad-gun

The infantry squads combine and are joined by the Primaris behind the Aegis w/ the quad-gun, to sit on the home objective and wrap the battle tank. The platoon command squad rides around in the Vendetta, either to be dropped onto an objective or for line breaker.

What do you think?

I would put the lascannon on the demolisher. The battle cannon will be firing turn 1 because of its range so the lascannon will be firing at bs1 unless you dont fire the battle cannon which is a waste.

Put the lascannon on the demolisher because its short range main gun will be useless turn 1 and possibly turn 2 if your opponent knows how to avoid the tanks range.

Thanks tankboy145,

I did think about putting the lascannon on the Demolisher, however, both tanks have already been built. My next Russ builds will be magnetized

I have had some luck snap firing the lascannon, but I'm sure the points are best used elsewhere. The Demolisher is usually a bullet magnet, a spearhead.
