I usually play my friend who plays space marines. I'm just wondering what you guys think and what the next step would be to 1000 pts.

CCS
Plasma Pistol
Medic
Grenade Launchers x2
Vox-Caster
.......105 points

Veteran Squad 1
Grenade Launchers x3
Vox-Caster
.......90 points

Veteran Squad 2
Grenade Launchers x3
.......85 points

Scout Sentinel
Lascannon
.......50 points

Leman Russ Battle Tank
Heavy Bolter Sponsors
.......170points

Anything that would help me out would be great

Thanks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449974/4287258.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449974/4287258.page GMT Imperial Guard 500 pts IG player i might not be the perfect person to give you some advice, but i'll try anyway:
I have never understood the use of a medic, because most of the time; if your CCS is going to be shot at it will be shot with a lot of firepower or heavy CCW and probably dies anyway. Most importantly though, I think you would do best if you changed the Leman russ for a Vendetta; it's cheaper, boasts more (twin-linked) firepower AND can transport your veterans during objective based missions. you could even use the spare points for another scout sentinel.
Hope this helped (a bit).

I do love the Grenade launchers though, keep those in there!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449974/4287312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449974/4287312.page GMT Imperial Guard 500 pts

Maybe getting some heavy weapon teams in there would be a better option. I'm still a little unsure as to what theme to go with when moving onto bigger point games.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449974/4288905.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449974/4288905.page GMT Re:Imperial Guard 500 pts AT or at least more reliable AT than a single lascannon even at 500 points.

I prefer just a hull las. It lets the tank double as a light tank hunter, its cheaper, and you can fire everything while on the move. With bolter sponsons you need to sit still to fire everything and lets the enemy play around with the wounds.

In all honestly though, at 500 points, I always find it better to just spam heavy and special weapons. Most lists are always going to have a way to deal with a single vehicle quickly, even if its av14 front. For this reason I usually just spam heavy and special weapons in platoon or vet lists. Something like this, just as an example

CCS, standard, hf, 2 flamer

Vets, 3 plasma, las
