This is my revised, competitive but still fun to play with and against IG army with the new book. One thing I am struggling with is taking pask. I feel he is a waste if I don't use him as my warlord, but I want the CCS orders BADLY.

I don't want to do the creed "not a senior officer cheese" because that is bound to be FAQed.

TOTAL: 1500

Primaris Psyker x2

CCS
Lascannon
MoO
Tactical auto reliquary of Tiberius
Vox

As for the list is seems pretty decent, seems low on scoring but it is only 1500pts so I can understand that.

Also I dont have my codex on me but what does the Tiberius thingy do again? Is that the order one where if you roll any doubles all orders auto pass? if so I would skip out on it as really the CCS is only issuing orders to the blob and the Vet squad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594315/6813371.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594315/6813371.page GMT NEW IMPERIAL GUARD-1500-THE ASTRA MILITARUM MoO more effective. Yeah I think codex over BRB, as that's in the brb haha. However I feel like it's gonna be FAQed, and I might as well play with the worst options now, so they can only get better right?

How do you think I could add more scoring? I feel like I Have zero midfield presence. Scouring seems like an auto lose for me, empowers will I stand a good chance and crusade really depends on whether I get to place more objectives or not. I ussually never play KP as nobody I play with likes it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594315/6813383.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594315/6813383.page GMT Re:NEW IMPERIAL GUARD-1500-THE ASTRA MILITARUM http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594315/6816716.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594315/6816716.page GMT NEW IMPERIAL GUARD-1500-THE ASTRA MILITARUM PE warlord trait from pask. Besides if you run into any list that is allied you only get to choose one codex to use the PE against. Pask is a waste.

As is a lascannon on a punisher.

Also if you want to add more units. Consider dropping the tactical relay. It is a waste. IDK if you have ever used a MoO before but i have never had luck with him ever. He is a point sink even at his reduced cost.

You cannot use your psyker with the PCS out of a chimera. so drop one chimera either from PCS or CCS and put the psyker with them to work the quad gun.

I would consider dropping both chimeras, and the SWS.
Put the psyker with the CCS on the quad gun, upgrade the PCS to have 4 flamers and put them in the vendetta.

With the saved points you can afford another vet squad in a Chimera with the lost melta guns.

Also you can add sponsons to your punisher TC

Yeah. So I use pask as warlord, and tabled the guy. I really like pask, and I think he is just so multipurpose with the rending. I was getting 4 rending shots a time, helped out against plague marines. Lascannon I think fits better with the punisher. Having consistent lascannons accross the board really helps to diode the opponents firepower and make them consider where they put their vehicles. Ignore cover was really nice, but he had so much FnP it didn't matter that much anyway.

SWS are great for scoring (they're so cheap) you can pick up 3 per platoon I think, give them snipers or flamers run them to objectives and sit there. HWS are good for squatting on backfield objectives.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594315/6819038.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594315/6819038.page GMT
