Spoiler:

Until then I have added in a lot of upgrades (tank sponsors, vendetta bolters etc) but not really sure what else I could do with the models I have...

I play friendly games against orks, grey knights, dark angels, chaos marines.

Any advice would be great thanks. I tend to just throw what I have on the table so want to make a list to give me some strategy

. Thanks, Adam.

The CCS doesn't need a flamer as it's a static unit with the lascannon.

The Lord Commissar doesn't need a power weapon, just keep him cheap.

You don't want squads inside Vendettas as they cannot shoot out. You only put squads inside Vendettas when you want to zoom for a objectie. If you use the Vendettas as transport then you're moving forward not firing all lascannons and dropping the short ranged infantry into the enemy along with your Vendetta; the opponent then gets two birds with one stone.

Your tanks to do not need the weapon upgrades. Just take standard tanks with hull heavy flamers and that's it. Come to think about it your list is static and a Demolisher is shorted ranged, I would switch both of these for Manticores.

Hope that helps. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448599/4264278.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448599/4264278.page GMT Re:Getting the most out of my 2000pts of imperial guard models!

Help appreciated CCS for a GL probably and not take units in the vendettas. The reason for all the weapon upgrades is simply to make the list 2000 pts with models I have. My friends have quite large armies and so prefer to use what they can, and although some might say its unfair that I have to stretch my army I don't mind its all fun

. My optimal list that I'm aiming for is much more focused.

I might actually proxy the manticore, I was put off by the lower armour and limited turns shooting, maybe a medusa would suit me better as its not limited to over 24" shots.

Dante sorry not sure what you mean lol! I think I've added everything up right if that's what you mean haha.

Thanks again]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448599/4264348.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448599/4264348.page GMT Getting the most out of my 2000pts of imperial guard models! Help appreciated

If you're asking him to post points cost, I'm afraid that's against forum rules.

Help appreciated ID any pesky Paladins you might face. Also only the eathshaker and medusa can direct fire if i remember right. The other two are mortars so only aim up.

I do love demo charges, I might just do that and chuck atleast one demo in. Initially I gave the SWS 3 haha i thought nice little suicide unit hop out the vendetta and drop some hurt from 3 charges haha but decided against it lol. I will probably put one in though, thanks for the input!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448599/4265125.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448599/4265125.page GMT Getting the most out of my 2000pts of imperial guard models!
