So, I haven't played since fifth edition, and was wondering: is this list is still viable?

HQ - 90pts
Company command squad
Grenadiers
4x sniper rifles

Troop 1 - 185pts
Veteran squad
Grenadiers
3x melta
Chimera, multi-laser/heavy bolter

Troop 2 - 185pts
Veteran squad
Grenadiers
3x melta
Chimera, multi-laser/heavy bolter

Troop 3 - 185pts
Veteran squad
Grenadiers
3x melta
Chimera, multi-laser/heavy bolter

Elite
Storm troopers x10
2x plasma
Chimera, multi-laser/heavy bolter

Fast Attack
Scout sentinels x3, multi-lasers

Total: 1000 pts.


Main plan is to move up, sticking to cover when possible and deploying smoke as needed. Melta mech vets will take out heavier armor when close enough to do so. Chimeras will focus fire their multi lasers on light armor and infantry.

Sentinels will outflank and pop transports from behind, or if none are available, take out long range fire support. If they survive long enough, I'll have them contest objectives on the enemy's side of the table.

Storm troopers will advance in their Chimera, seeking out hard targets to focus fire on (mc's, hq's, etc.)

HQ will advance in cover within range of the middle objectives, and take pot shots at any enemy infantry trying to claim them.

My opponents and I have a rule that we don't tell each other what unit is in which transport, so my units will stay embarked as long as possible, only disembarking to secure objectives endgame.

We also try and keep our lists somewhat fluff related, hence the lack of heavy support, the high level of mobility, and the proliferation of carapace armor.

C&C welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Imperial Guard id say is up the sentinels to autocannon's but that's a personal preference really. Sounds like a solid plan. Only thing you missing is AA. but if your local area doesn't use aircraft your sorted.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580427/6550448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580427/6550448.page GMT 1000 PT.

My main opponents have very few flyers, and don't really like fielding them. I think overall, we all just like the appeal of an out-and-out in your face ground war.

I've run autocannons before, and really have no issue with them, but I like the extra shot that the multi-laser provides over the slightly higher strength. Mainly my opponents run space marines, and since either one is a 2+ to wound and has no instant wound/death ability against them, I prefer the extra shot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580427/6550520.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580427/6550520.page GMT 1000 PT.

No no no

Take Vendetta instead. Better pint cost, better survivability, better firepower, better mobility and best anti-flyer. For only $999.99
