http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k, being playing the dawn of war and dow2 video games and I enjoyed IG so i thought this would be a great army to start (I just like the look and feel of it).

So I'm looking for advice regarding an all comers list as I intend to start playing at my local shop and have no idea whatsoever whom I'm going to fight.

I have started a little draft thats goes as:

HQ
CCS 4x plasma, chimera (Multilaser Heavyflamer), 165 pts

Troops
Plattoon 1
PCS 4x flamers, 50pts
2x Infantry squad, autocannon, GL, 130 pts

3x Vets, 3x meltas, powerfist, chimera (multilaser, heavy flamer) 510 pts

Fast Attack
Vendetta 130

Heavy support
LRMBT 150
LR Executionner 190

total 1325

I may be wrong on numbers so correct me if I'm wrong. The idea is that I blob plattoon one for home objective, vets vs big tanks,chimera heavy flamer for hordes, LR executionner and CCS for MEQ and Monstrous creatures. Not sure how I should gear up this setup , or if I should load something like and aegis defence line, hydra flak, manticore, or whatever. I'd also like to know if vox casters are needed. finally, can this list handle its own vs MEQ, NIDs and Orks ? What else to get? i think I need something for objective grabing, vets in vendetta with plasma ?

Thanks in advance and really all feedback is appreciated, I never played the tabletop game so I know there are some specificities, I tried to base myself on some other lists I saw.

I would bring another vendetta (+hb) and for the remainig points try to squeeze in some flamers in that detta aswell.

Apart from that, will objective grabing/holding be a problem?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I tried something a little different,that goes as follows: Basically, it's assuming I already have enough anti tank power to get rid of the third melta squad, and instead use a vet team with plasma and lascanon for some forward objective holding/power projection However, I might also just use the CCS with 3x plasma and a lascannon but I thought that vets get more model to hold ground... I can also drop a chimera and load one of the squads in vendetta and try to add flamers. So basically, should I stick with the first list or second?

HQ
CCS 4 plasma, chimera (ML, HF), 165 pts

Troops

Plattoon 1 Rear guard
PCS 4 flamers, 50pts
2 x Infantry squad, AC,GL, 130 pts

Strike team alpha and delta
2 vets, 3x meltas, powerfist, chimera (ML HF) 340 pts

Vanguard team Omega (objective holder)
1 vets 3x plasma, powerfist, Lascannon, chimera (ML HF) 205 pts

Fast Attack
2 vendetta, (one with HB) 270 pts

Heavy support
LRMBT 150 pts
LR Executionner 190 pts

total 1500 pts

I can also simply get rid of a chimera and load a squad in vendetta for an extra 55 points, I don't know which option is best, Any thoughts? is 3 chimera enough to provide some screening to my russes?

Which team should I load in vendetta if I get rid of a chimera? (one melta strike team, one plasma/lascanon obj. holder or the company command squad).

Thanks for the advide by the way.

Finally, is anything overkill?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543838/5912704.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543838/5912704.page GMT CC to use them so get rid of all and use the points for something else]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543838/5912747.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543838/5912747.page GMT
I Just saw what you meant too about survivability, the company commander gets enough wounds to suffer a few, I'll fit a powerfist to him instead.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543838/5912773.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543838/5912773.page GMT
