hey guys, this is the first list I'm making since coming back in after 4 years. I understand that a mech veteran force seems to be the most common/competitive with 7th ed, but I'm trying my best to avoid them as...frankly, I hate the Chimera model.

the intent with this list is to have my stationary fire base (LRs, vets) supporting my maneuver (everything else)

my second vet squad has both grenadier and sentry due to a hilarious gets hot fiasco during my last game.

Vanquisher is a tank commander just for the BS increase and with the exception of my vendetta and melta scions, I need the anti-tank.

any input is appreciated.

If you hate chimeras I highly recommend you read the Cadian Supplement. It gives lots of buffs to regular infantry but requires 5 tanks minimum.

Since you have a lot of vox caster models it would be good to look at the artillery company too.

You should check the points on your tank commander vanquishser. The vanquishser russ with a lascannon and tank commander upgrade doesn't add up correctly for your list.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also if you blob up your platoon infantry squads you only need to take 1 vox for the whole platoon. Otherwise I don't see why you would need a commissar for 1 squad.

I didn't reflect it in my post, but yes the guard squads will be blobbed and I will take out 2 of the VOX casters. I will indeed look into those buffs in the supplement, thanks.

What are your opinions on the list as a whole as far as anti tank/monster/infantry capabilities? Maelstrom missions?

Also... looking into formations, this list seems to be close to Battlegroup Hammer blow. I suppose I can get 4 Chimeras and a baneblade and get rid of half of my infantry.
