whatever that redeployment metal is called
+++ you're thinking the macharian cross. as pointed out, ditch the armour as it only makes the officer into a big target thanks to mixed armour rules.+++
staff
flamer
missle launcher
+++ add a vet w/company banner! re-rolls will save your butt... no guard army should ever be without their co banner no matter how small a game it is - honestly, it's only 11 fething pts!!! (and if it allowed re-rolls for Ld tests, i might one day pass a target priority test...)+++
commisar with master crafted bolt pistol
power fist
honiferus impralis(or however you spell that
whatever that redeployment metal is called
+++ waaaaay too much junk on him. lose the master-crafting as it's a total waste on a bolt pistol... i'd also drop the macharian cross too just to save on pts.+++
anti tank support squad 3x lascannon
elites
9x storm troopers
1 meltagun
1 grenade launcher
sgt with power weapon hell pistol
10 meltabombs
vox
+++ never mix weapons with these guys... we're not space mainres which means we should never try and multi-task because we really can't! specialise! it's what the guard is all about. go with 2 meltaguns and look into tacking one either infiltrate or deep strike soas to get these boys closer to a juicy target!
also drop the melta bombs as they're way too expensive - just give your vet sergeant melta bombs from the armoury...+++
tech priest
signum
5 serviters
1x multimelta
1x ocmbat servitor
3c tech
+++ if you want a servitor support unit, then add in an allied daemonhunter inquisitor w/psycannon + 3 gun servitors + 2 mystics. much better than the horribly expensive techpriest.
also, IIRC, his servitors count as wargear so you're way over your 50pts limit!+++
troops
IP
comand squad
jr officer
plasma pistol
whatever that redeployment metal is called
staff
+++ take the honorifica imperialis instead for a 2nd Ld9 bubble...
also, those command squads can be kitted out to fullfill any gap in your army... for example, 3 plasma guns + vet medic = MEQ death!+++
squad one
9 gaurdsmen
1 sgt
1 vox
squad two
9 gaurdsmen
1 sgt
1 vox
+++ your voxes are 100% useless as you need a vox in the command squad for the system to work. anyways, i would never rely on a vox network as they're foolishly easy to cripple!
get some heavy & special weapons into those squads as well. 10 lasguns won't kill much... they need the support of things like grenade launchers + heavy bolter/autocannon+++
armoured fist squad
9 gaurdsmen
1 heavy bolter
sgt
1 vox
+++ lose the vox & swap the heavy weapon for a special weapon. as these guys are transported, they're far too mobile to get any real use out of that big gun!+++
transport
chimera
hull heavy bolters
turret miltilazer (bring changed to heavy bolter this week)
+++ add extra armour so you can always move unless immobalised... also consider a pintle stubber for an extra 3 shots?!+++
heavy support
leman russ
hull mounted lascannon
sponson heavy bolters
leman russ
hull mounted heavy bolter
sponson heavy bolter
leman russ
hull mounted heavy bolter
sponson heavy bolter
+++ i'd lose 1 tank and get some more bodies + weapon upgrades. sure 3 russes are imposing, but 3 lucky glancing hits can silence them... the true strength of the guard is in superior numbers. if you don't outnumber MEQ enemies especially by at least 2:1, then something is seriously wrong!+++
depending on the army I am facing I may trade out the third russ for a basilisk with inderect fire |
it's not a bad list or anything, it just needs some re-arranging and a few add-ons... basically, you're short on boots. consider the fact my 1500pts drop troop army consists of 100 models which also includes an allied inquisitor lord + retinue & assassin!
you don't have to gunline or anything, just try and see if there's any way you add-in another 20-30 bodies to get your model count up!
cheers!
