Decided I am going to add to the meat grinder that is the imperial guard going to be DKoK using the normal guard codex though

HQ.
Company command squad vox caster

55pts

Elites
Storm troopers, 10 guys, 2 meltas
Chimera

Troops
X 2 platoon command vox caster

X6 infantry squad
Vox caster plasma gun

Veteran squad
3 meltas chimera

Fast attack

Banewolf

Heavy support
X2 leman Russ executioner all plasma

So let me know what you think ??

Looks good, but I would recommend Autocannons over Plasmaguns for the Infantry Squads. This will save you 30 points, which should be used to give the CCS and both PCSs Autocannons as well. You will be going from 6 S7 shots at 24" to 18 S7 shots at 48". You have plenty of AP2 with the Executioners and Meltas.

Pretty well balanced list. The only major vulnerability that jumps out is a lack of anti-air fire support. All those plasma small blasts will not be able to target a flyer.

And against more hoard-like or melee oriented armies, it seems as if your infantry do not have much to stop the enemy from squishing them.

How do you plan on fielding your forces in the face of a melee threat? Will the Leman Russ be in front of the infantry? Unfortunately, with AV11 against melee, they will not stand up long either.

Auto cannons is a pretty good idea

And there isn't really any flyers In my local playing circle so arnt really fussed. When there was I a hellturkey I just ignored it because it was only on the board for two turns lol

And against hoards I guess I would sit back use the hell hound and vets/ storm troopers to kill/ soften the gribly things and hen use loads of orders and shear weight of lasguns I suppose

Your Vendettas are all the anti-air you need. I would strongly recommend upgrading the two Valkyries to Vendettas if you have Lascannons laying around.

Taking Autocannons will drastically improve both your number of shots and range... for fewer points. As I said above, you have plenty of AP2 elsewhere.

Autocannons are nice, as they should handle most targets. I'd maybe give one platoon some Lascannons to give you some long-range AV14-busting power (meltas are great, but have to get close).

You can save a few points on the IS by dropping the vox casters, they are only really worth it if you're taking one for a combined platoon. The points you save here should buy you a Regimental Standard for the CCS (essential for any foot lists) and then getting some flamers for your PCS to give you some counter-attacking potential.

Other than that, pretty good.

Thanks for the advice
I will be going for auto cannons for the extra shots AND they are much easier to get a hold of for DKoK lol

And the command squads are purely for orders so that's why there a bit bare

Even if you are just using them for orders, the 12" of re-rolling Ld from shooting/pinning is great, and a steal at 15 points, I'd seriously suggest getting one as a priority. Your grunts will stick around far longer with the Regimental Standard.

Alright dude I will add one in. You get a banner with the krieg command squads anyway
