No points as apparently there have been some changes since my codex. Also I am going to purchase some more infantry as the squads are a little unorthodox... You’ll see:


1 Comissar

1x Command Squad
Heavy flamer
Regimental Standard
Vox
Medic

Inf Squad
4 flamers

Inf Squad
4 Grenade launchers

1 Mortar team (a single one from the starter box)

Leman Russ Vanquisher
Heavy Bolter

Sentinel



Sorry for the long post
Thanks

Do you even own the rulebook pal? or the codex?

Nothing here makes sense, hence the lack of replies. feel free to respond/DM me; I'm more than happy to help

Command squads with a standard to give a leadership boost, but I'm not sure I can recommend a commissar, although a lord commissar also give a leadership boost which can be useful if you really want one.

Infantry squads are great, but they can only take one special weapon and one heavy weapon team. I like the go big or go home and attach a lascannon.

The heavy weapons teams boxes can actually be used to make 3 heavy weapons (mortar, missile launcher and (heavybolter, lascannon, or autocannon) if you have 4 extra guardsman lying around.

Also as a beginner I highly recommend taking a standard battle cannon and heavy bolters on the tank since it has more shots and does a good amount of damage, a good jack of all trades.

Scout sentinels can be a great tool for deep strike denial with their scout move before the game since deep strikers cant deploy within 9 inches of an enemy.

I recommend getting lots of the 5 man boxes for 10 bucks a piece to fill out your ranks, and more battle tanks are a solid choice this edition.

Good luck!

Also, since you said you are playing against space marines heavy bolters, autocannons, plasma guns, and even grenade launchers are cool for solid strength and some AP.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749340/9801574.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749340/9801574.page GMT GW prices. I will buy some more infantry squads to 'thin out' the special weapons. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749340/9954558.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749340/9954558.page GMT
