Hi all,

For a local campaign, i've been working on a new Guard list.

As most batlles will be played at 2500 points, here's my list. I didn't want to use the well-known Leafblower list, but it has to be competitve (as all participating players use competitive lists). Originally the idea of this list was to fit in 9 hydra's & 9 valkyries (as air cavalry is just cool), but deviated a bit, as i couldnt fit enough killing power in that way.

Here's my new version:

HQ

Company Command Squad @ 240
3x plasmagun
1x medipack
Astropath
Officer of the Fleet
Chimera (Heavy Bolter / Multilaser)

Company Command Squad @ 180
3x plasmagun
1x medipack
Chimera (Heavy Bolter / Multilaser)

Elites
-

Troops

Infantry Platoon
PCS @ 100
3x flamer
Chimera (Multilaser, Heavy Flamer)

Infantry Squad @ 105
Chimera (Multilaser, Heavy Flamer)

Infantry Squad @ 105
Chimera (Multilaser, Heavy Flamer)

Special Weapon Squad @ 50
3x flamer

Special Weapon Squad @ 50
3x flamer

Veteran Squad @ 170
3x plasmagun
Chimera (Multilaser, Heavy Bolter)

Veteran Squad @ 170
3x plasmagun
Chimera (Multilaser, Heavy Bolter)

Veteran Squad @ 100
3x meltagun

Veteran Squad @ 100
3x meltagun

Fast Attack

Vendetta Squadron @ 260
2x Vendetta Gunship

Vendetta Squadron @ 130
1x Vendetta Gunship

Vendetta Squadron @ 130
1x Vendetta Gunship

Heavy Support

Manticore @ 160

Hydra Battery @ 225
3x Hydra (Heavy Bolter, Heavy Bolter, Heavy Flamer)

Hydra Battery @ 225
3x Hydra (Heavy Bolter, Heavy Bolter, Heavy Flamer)

Total: 2500 pts.

I'm seriously thinking on replacing 1 of the Plasma veteran squads with an Psyker Battle Squad (5 additional psykers, Chimera = 165 pts). Unfortunately we decided to not use any kind of allies, so an inquisitor with mystics is no option.

I'd like to have some C&C on the list.

Greetings,

Pim

With all the mechanized firepower this list has, what with the guard being able to give everyone and their mother a chimera to ride in, the two melta vet squads on foot seem like a somewhat strange fit. What are your plans for them, seeing as I doubt you expect them to footslog it towards whatever they should be shooting at...

Probably his independant Vendettas? With the Plasma HQs in the paired (12 plasma shots if you drop perfectly. Awesome.)

I guess I wasn't aware the Vendettas were transports as well... I thought only the Valks could carry guys... Hey, what do I know? I play nids, and we don't have any of that silly vehicle nonsense.
