Total pts: 1500

With the abundance of Mech, every man and his dog is bringing a meltagun, so I thought what if I brought no tanks? all those meltaguns will become rather useless.
this list contains 66 models all with a 3+ save, the tacticals will split up when playing objectives, the sternguard will be joined by the librarian who will give them a 5++ and teleport them around. he can also pick up a tactical squad to go objective capturing.

So what are your thoughts?

What is more fun is that in 2000pts you can take Pedro Kantor and do

Pedro

3x 10 Sternguard

6x 10 Tacticals

you can give the tacticals melta's so you are still a threat to tanks, while the 91 marines are going to be hard to get rid of because of the number of them

Downside being, this costs ~2000pts with no upgrades!!! so no fists, or power weapons, but with that many men, do you need them?

whilst that is a nice Idea, we don't play 2000 pts over here in the Netherlands, so that's not gonna fly I'm afraid. and meltaguns don't work when footslogging, you don't have the mobility to get close enough to vehicles to fry the suckers.

any other ideas? criticisms?
