So I keep getting smoked by this new Nid codex, which is strange seeing that it was the other way around last codex. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?! D:

HQ: Company Command Squad w/ las-cannon, vox, reg standard

Troop: Platoon Command Squad w/ x3 plasma guns, vox
Infantry Squad w/ flamer, auto cannon, vox
Infantry Squad w/ flamer, auto cannon, vox
Infantry Squad w/ flamer, auto cannon, vox
Infantry Squad w/ flamer, auto cannon, vox
Infantry Squad w/ flamer, auto cannon, vox
Commisar
Heavy Weapon Squad w/ Mortars
Heavy Weapon Squad w/ Mortars
Heavy Weapon Squad w/ Lascannons

Troop: Veterans w/ carapace, x3 plasma guns, plasma pistols

Heavy Support: Lemen Russ Battle Tank

Heavy Support: Basilisk

Heavy Support: Basilisk

Fast Attack: Vendetta

Fast Attack: x3 Scout Sentinals

Elite: Marbo

Aegis w/ Quad

Could you elaborate a bit? What kills you? What does the opponent have?

For one I would drop the vox, there not really worth the points. Second, take your veterans, and give them the heavy flamers and flamer, stick them in a chimera with a heavy flamer, and that will roast a lot of nids. If your finding its the monstrous creatures giving you trouble run 2 to 3 vendettas, they are insanely good at killing monstrous creatures. Also I would ditch the banner on your command squad, the imperial guard banner is not that strong.

Also Manticors are very good against nids as well.

I hope that helps

Drop the Vox, you have 3 orders max anyway. Plus they aint all that.
Drop the standard. Take 4 flamers in the PCS put them in the Vendetta drop them on a objective and roast some bugs. Same the Chimera take Flamers instead of plasmas and go roast the horde.
On your Infantry squads take Lascannons, if you use all those flamers i suggested then you should have around 8 lascannons including the twinlinked Vendetta ones. Which is more than enough for MCS
Im not that fond of artillery although its one of IGS strongest points. Id take a hellhound instead but thats just preference.

Well, you need mobility against Nids. A stationary army will have trouble vs. a fast moving army. I'd consider Chimerae and Vendettas (which you already have) for this.

Also HellHounds and the Chem flamer one does really well vs Nids.

Take 2 helhounds drop 4/5 of the voxs blob together with the commissar, change basilisks to colossus for the S6 AP3 ignore cover, change LRBT to a punisher with pask and take 3 HBs on it for tons of shots at BS4. Drop sentinels.
