My general plan is to embark the Plasma Gunners and Melta Gunners in the two vehicles, the Valkyrie and the Chimera, which may or may not deepstrike/outflank, depending on the situation. I've got Creed to try to outflank with the LMBT, and with the blob, I've got close range fighters pinned. Lascannons take down heavy vehicles, autocannons take out fast attack vehicles. Anything I could improve on? Anything you guys KNOW simply won't work?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318326/1949642.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318326/1949642.page GMT Newbie Imperial Guard 1500 List CCS costs too much and doesnt do that much either. Drop Creed and possibly carapace. Give them weapons like melta or plasma and give them a transport

Marbo is fine and fun

Platoon is funky. The PCS looks like its supposed to be a CCS but its not. Drop the medipack, PW, and plasma. Give them something like 4 Flamers and maybe a chimera points permitting. for the power blob, I suggest dropping the PP in favor of melta bombs or another PW. Make the Heavy Weapon Squads all the same or you'll be wasting shots. So either all lascannons or all auto cannons. All in all I'm not a fan of HWS. Rather get the weapon equivalent on vehicles like a vendetta or a hydra.

Drop Carapace on the vets or even switch it to the plasma vets (still dont like but but it gives an extra point incase of gets hot) or change it to demolitions

Valk is fine but out of place

On the LM, I dont like sponsons since you already have a lascannon. Drop the HKM and the EA. Ditto for the EA on the chimera

So I can see its sort of footslog but the elements not foot slog are too isolated (1 chimera, 1 tank, and 1 valk will get shot up fast)

The PCS is likewise confused. Why bring a power weapon to a squad which will be rapid firing? Dump it and replace it with a PCS with 4x plasma for 90 points.

The infantry squad is fine, but if you're going to make it an assaulty blob, make it a power blob. Find the points to give all the sergeants power weapons.

The single HWS, the single tank, the single chimera, and the single skimmer all have to go. Replace them by three of the same thing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318326/1950308.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318326/1950308.page GMT Newbie Imperial Guard 1500 List PCS and CCS, heavy weapons squads with the same guns... should I bring another Valkyrie and Chimera, or a Plas-ecutioner?

I would probably drop them for three valkyries.....or two LRBT and two Chimeras...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318326/1950542.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318326/1950542.page GMT
