I generally play small size games of 40K but i would like to try my hand at larger games so i can field some of the cooler large point models, like my Knight who has yet to see a battle field! So here is my first stab at a 1500 point list, any and all criticism will be greatly accepted.

-190th Cadian Regiment-

HQ
Pask in Punisher, exterminator squad mate w/ lascannon, 350

Troops
"Squad Glessing" Vets w/ grenadiers, 3x plasma guns, chimera, 185
"Squad Mauss" Vets w/ grenadiers, 3x plasma guns, chimera, 185
"Squad Yentzer" Vets w/ grenadiers, 3x melta guns, chimera, 170

Fast attack
Vendetta - 170

Heavy support
Wyvern - 65

Oahtsworn detachment
"Goliath of Cadia" Knight Paladin - 375

-1500-

Okay, initial thoughts:

Pask is a solid choice as always, and though I'd always take the eradicator for the S6 ignores cover large blast on the move, and regular BS firing Lascannon; if the exterminator variant performs for you, it's not the worst choice you can make. Pask rocking the hull bolter I assume?

3 squads of veterans with triple special weapons in chimeras is good, though I'd make one recommendation. swap so that they're all 2 plasma 1 melta? as you can only fire 2 weapons from the hatch anyway it won't impair your firing rate, and will stop your opponent being able to focus down your anti-tank options. -versatility is often key with guard in my experience.

Vendetta is an interesting choice, strong; but interesting. will there be enough armour on the field to make him worthwhile? he's got to kill 1/2 tanks to make his points back.

Wyvern is good, will help counter your low model-count.

The Knight Paladin was designed for guard players, giving our lines an assault deterrent with strength D, all while firing twice as much as a Leman Russ Battle Tank. Brilliant choice, Beautiful model.

overall looks solid, good luck to the Knight pilot in his debut game!

The main reason I use the exterminator is because I like the model I have the forge world turret and the fact it's twin linked helps the bad ballistic skill, and yes pask has the heavy bolter.

That's a good point about the mixing up the special weapons but i'm worried that it might slightly reduce their efficiency?

The only reason I have a vendetta is because i was worried about the possibility of enemy flyers because I only play small games I didn't know about the extent of flyers used at higher points?
