Default Re: First Try at Guard (traitors) need assistance

I was under the impression that you could only take a single tank as a heavy support choice. The veterans in your army cannot have powerfists and powerweapons, those items are champions only, champions being HQ squad types. On matters of opinion I can't ever condone taking renegade ogryns. While the models are amazing the rules will cause you to kill all of your own ogryns in the first round of combat. Another matter of opinion are the expensive groups of veterans upgrades in your command HQ. 4 veterans with bolters are likely to just be a point sink. As are just having 4 veterans for the fun of it. Tactically, with the exception of your baneblades I don't know what you are going to do about enemy armor. You have a whole lot of troop killing ability, particularly with the overkill of 3 hellhounds but very little if you run into a handfull of landraiders or leman russes. Hope this helped a bit.
