So the new codex will have more expensive vendettas, veterans of 5-10 without 3 special weps (that's stuffs pretty likely.) here is a list I made so I don't have to re adjust an insane amount when they new codex drops in march (hopefully.)

Comments and Critisism? Is there anything I could improve on? I face a lot of space marines Eldar, and other guard. Not much tau necroms or chaos.

I think it would be impossible to write a list pre codex. There will certainly be some new "must have" unit, if not multiple such. GW has been pretty straight forward with their sales strategy: "Release new codices with a few hundred dollars of 'must have' plastic soldiers."
I'm not bashing on them, they are a business after all. But this is a certainty.

I'm sure they will have a new must have tank or über unit but I'm not interested in spamming something like that, maybe ill run one of them but I try not to be a cheesy player. My aim with this list was to build a list that could be more or less run with the new codex once it comes out, as I really doubt they will change the platoons much. Anybody have opinions on this list?
