aren't you scared of tank shocks and crap?

Probably anything long range AT you squeeze out the points for will just get killed first thing.

maybe outflanking sentinels? since youre not using the slots and theyre pretty cheap. Especially if you rely on rear/side shots instead of lascannons.

edit: I also feel like you're not taking enough advantage of the big squads with orders and camo cloaks and such

And I guess I'm lazy because I'd cut one conscript squad just because it's 50 guys to paint (or at the very least assemble).

With that you can replace an LC with a ccs and astropath to (really) help with sentinels.

The russes I kind of like. I'm sure some would look at ordnance batteries but they are going to need av14 being the only vehicle target at 2000pts

Seriously, 60 blobsmen is how many I bring at 750 points, and you're trying to make it work at 2000. The first thing you should do is drop lots of those upgrades in order to turn your conscripts into power blobs. No sense having that screen if there's nothing behind it.

Ailaros wrote:No, just turn them into regular infantry squads. A WHOLE infantry platoon counts as a troops choice, not just an infantry squad. Take those dudes with lasguns and just make them regular guardsmen.

Take those 100 models and turn it into two more infantry platoons loaded up with power weapons n' stuff.

Ailaros wrote:They CAN be worth it. They exist to screen stuff, but there's not much purpose to taking them if there's nothing to screen.

On their own, they do very little damage, as they can't take special weapons or hidden power weapons.

...looks...

... oh. Redo your command squad. The astropath isn't necessary and the MOO will just keep your officer needlessly static. Meanwhile, the bodyguard isn't protecting anything worth protecting, so he can go to. Strip it down to just the vox and some special weapons.

Otherwise, yeah. You line up your infantry, and you mass charge. Sentinels can either be put behind it all, if your opponent has poor long-range anti-tank, in front of it all, if they have comically poor long-range anti-tank (like I do), and also have poor close combat abilities against walkers (unlike I do), or outflank with them if you fear for their survival (they have lascannons, so they're likely to be in range whichever side they come in from).

The best part is that you don't have to choose until right before the game begins.
