That looks pretty good for a more casual tournament. I'd probably cut the Heavy Stubber and the Camo Cloaks to upgrade one unit of Veterans to have Meltaguns - For an armor-heavy list, you can't deal with heavy armor or Knights very well!


I don't have the extra Meltaguns, however I could swap the stubbers out to upgrade the rear autocannon into a Lascannon.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699118/8830039.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699118/8830039.page GMT [1500] - Imperial Guard - Looking for feedback on this Hellhammer and his tank buddies list?
Pcannon sponsons i'm all in favor; although it may be worth scrapping the grenade launchers on the second vet squad for a lascannon for a little extra anti-armour/Centurion.

Kinda unnecessary as the Hellhammer has a massive blast template that ignores cover with a better AP. I have got a Vulture Gunship with twin linked punisher cannons I could field but it's 155pts so one of the other tanks would have to go?

Gorgosaurusrex wrote:I disagree, I think the Exterminator is well worth it. It's reasonably accurate and versatile, plus it can be used as anti-air in a pinch. I would take Heavy Bolters over Plasma Cannons for sponsons though.


Whoops! Sorry my bad it's a Plasma Russ not the autocannon variant I always get the two mixed up.

LRBT and take another Exterminator. I would then give both exterminators a hull lascannon and multimelta sponsons. Then you have 2 truly generalist tanks, which can engage all targets successfully. I've never regretted the Exterminator with that load out, it always has something to shoot at.

edit: I see you mean Executioner instead of Exterminator. I would take Exterminators. You have a wayyyyy better source of AP2 (Hellhammer) already. The Executioner will just melt itself down or be negated by cover. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699118/8831825.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699118/8831825.page GMT [1500] - Imperial Guard - Looking for feedback on this Hellhammer and his tank buddies list? ABG?

In any case +1 on the vulture band wagon, i'm on my third and in 2 years now i've yet to lose one of them, or lose because anything they could kill was still a factor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699118/8833372.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699118/8833372.page GMT Re:[1500] - Imperial Guard - Looking for feedback on this Hellhammer and his tank buddies list? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699118/8833600.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699118/8833600.page GMT Re:[1500] - Imperial Guard - Looking for feedback on this Hellhammer and his tank buddies list?
