-No abhumans
-No plasma in the line squads, may be persuaded on the stormtroopers if I can find room for a tempestor prime for gets hot rerolls
-No melta (currently too expensive for what it does)
-No FW (half of my opponent pool refuses to play against FW)

My thoughts:
I consistently find I am a slightly weak on anti-tank... I wouldn't mind dropping the hydra, apart from one game where it performed spectacularly, it has been surprisingly mediocre. I love autocannons though :(

I have a few thoughts. It seems like you could get more CP if you restructured the list. Your battalion is very close to a Brigade. It looks like you could shave points like dropping the wargear, , switching to scout sentinels, and perhaps rethinking some of the tank equipment. You could help that process along by switching the scions for more infantry/ commissar elites. You could turn that auxiliary into a spearhead for less than 100 points with more mortars and a naked commander.

I would try to structure it as a Brigade and spearhead detachment. It looks like you can with the point values. I am also curious why you are not using conscripts. From what I understand, the combination of Valhalla doctrine and a commissar is essentially old school conscripts. That seems like a useful tool, dropping a blob of conscripts into the enemy (with the dagger).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755725/9948268.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755725/9948268.page GMT Re:[1000] - Imperial Guard - Need Constructive Feedback http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755725/9948277.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755725/9948277.page GMT [1000] - Imperial Guard - Need Constructive Feedback

although flamers in a command squad would need a transport of they would get picked off immediately. I highly recommend the command squad be taken with a banner and heavy weapon (autocannon?)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755725/9948302.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755725/9948302.page GMT [1000] - Imperial Guard - Need Constructive Feedback AM brigade comes in at 700 something i think. but his list wouldnt have any bite in a 1k list.


If you have russ tanks then tank commanders can be pretty good in those low point games. i wouldnt upgrade sentinels past auto cannons due to their BS.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755725/9948337.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755725/9948337.page GMT Re:[1000] - Imperial Guard - Need Constructive Feedback

Infantry squads are superior in every way and cost the same amount of points as conscripts.

This. I've tried multiple ways of stretching it into a brigade and it just compromises my list too much.

I might be able to do something like a battalion and a spearhead though if someone wanted to come up with something along those lines.

With the new FAQ changes and grand strategist warlord trait, I'm not exactly hurting for CP.

Agreed, I'd love to take them down to autocannon sentinels and get rid of the hydra, but then I'd be lacking even more anti-tank then I do now. Any advice on how to remedy that?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755725/9948392.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755725/9948392.page GMT
