40K Army: Imperial Guard

HQ:


Company Command Squad - 50pts


Elites:

Troops:


Veteran Squad, 3 Plasma Guns, 1 Autocannon, Chimera - 180pts
Veteran Squad, 3 Plasma Guns, 1 Autocannon, Chimera - 180pts
Veteran Squad, 3 Melta Guns, Demolitions, Chimera - 185pts
Veteran Squad, 3 Melta Guns, Demolitions, Chimera - 185pts


Fast Attack:


Vendetta - 130pts
Vendetta - 130pts


Heavy Support:


Demolisher, Lascannon - 180pts
Demolisher, Lascannon - 180pts


Fortification:


Aegis Defence Line, 1 Quad Gun - 100pts




Total.... 1500pts.




The plan would be to move up the chimeras together with a demolisher on either side of the line to protect the flanks, and moving back if the enemy advance, using the HQ in the defence line using the quad gun to take out enemy fliers or incoming reserves. My vendetta's would go on either a flier killing spree or go tank hunting and my demolishers would go for high value HQ squads or terminator squads hopefully taking them out quickly.


If I do not get first turn I would hide my demolisher's behind the chimera's so that they don't get shaken and then bring them out on my turn to ensure template weapon use. I think I have enough weapons to handle Land Raiders - Raider lists.


Any opinions on this list about how I could change it would be great! Thought about alliances but haven't come to any conclusions yet.


Cheers!

Any suggestions?

As a competive list, you must protect the warlord. That guy is worth a VP that can lose you the game. Also, since you are down on that, you will lose out on first blood since vehicle spam often loses that one. The mission you chose can be the bane of you. You have an extra 2 vp with 2 scenarios. Your vet squads will suffer from not enough stable bodies. Chimera used to be able to protect you, but now with HP, you really gotta have more bodies.

I agree, the chimeras are going to be primary targets and it's too easy to finish off a squad of ten guardsmen when out in the open.
You've got a great choice of support with the Vens and Dems bu there's just not enough men for me :-(
What about putting the melta vets in the vendettas and switching the plasma vets for an infantry platoon? Those points will get you another 55 men at least :-)
Plus some extra points from ditching the two melta vets chimeras...

Needs moar vehicles ! Four troops (and four chimeras) don't cut it in sixth. Cut back on upgrades, get a Platoon, and you can easily fit more in :-

CCS w/ Meltagunx4, Chimera
PCS w/ Plasmagunx4, Chimera
IS w/ Plasmagun, Chimera
IS w/ Plasmagun, Chimera
Vet squad w/ Meltagunx3, Chimera
Vet Squad w/ Meltagunx3, Chimera

That covers a quick VP from your warlord dying but its still easy pickings for first kill VP. Do you want to start your turn being down a VP straight away? :-S

A guard list with chimera is always gonna lose first blood vp unless they can claim it first. Starting down a vp isn't bad. 2 is pretty bad

Why ? If your opponent is also bringing transports than you have an equal chance of getting the first VP.

If your opponent has no vehicles at all, then lol as you Battlecannon them off the table

I have fought against triple demolisher melta vet spam ig. Battle cannoning people off the board isn't as easy as it sounds.

A Demolisher Cannon isn't the same thing as a Battle Cannon
