Both are meltavet spams but i can't see any other good infantry options for the guard to put into chimeras. The standard squads are pretty nice, but paying 105+ pts for a BS 3 squad with 1 heavy weapon and 1 special weapon ánd chimera is a bit too much imho.

The first list has more objective grabbers and is nicer to play with/against I think and offers tactical depth. However, the second list is geared towards a massive burninate assault and close range shooting with a lot of redundant high threat targets that cannot be ignored (2 demolishers, 2 banewolves/hellhounds, meltavets). In addition, a list geared towards anti AV12 will probably tear down the first one pretty quickly.

How are people's experiences with the Banewolf/hellhound though? As i'm not too sure which one to take here. The AP3 is awesome I think, but the extra range on the hellhound might increase survivability a bit.

Note: I have pretty much all the units to make these armies.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256950/979741.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256950/979741.page GMT 2x 1500 IG competitive tournament ideas, need help/suggestions http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256950/979904.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256950/979904.page GMT Re:2x 1500 IG competitive tournament ideas, need help/suggestions http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256950/979942.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256950/979942.page GMT Re:2x 1500 IG competitive tournament ideas, need help/suggestions
I would like to ditch some melta's but they do seem very effective in anti MEQ role. Especially if there's quite a few of them. And i don't know, but IG troops die really fast, and for the cost of 2 highly effective meltavets you can take 3 ordinary squads which have a .. flamer.. and since i want the army to be fully mechanised i find it hard to justify less effective troops driving around in fairly expensive chimeras]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256950/979984.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256950/979984.page GMT Re:2x 1500 IG competitive tournament ideas, need help/suggestions

Sweet, I'll need to adjust my army list. Now I feel stupid.

If your going to have so many veterans, consider giving some of them plamsa guns and/or a lascannon, they' be able to deal with any big scary things with their BS of 4, especially if you add in "Bring it Down!"
