Coming up soon is sixth edition and my local game shop is running a 1500pt tourney with the prize being more entries in raffle for a 2000pt army. This would be a great way for me to get one of the armies I don't have. That is a post for another day. Today I want to go over what I have planned for the event and to get some opinions what I could change.
HQ
Company Command Squad - sniper X2, Autocannon, Chimera, Carapace Armor
Troops
Vet squad - plasma gun X 3, autocannon, Carapace Armor, plasma pistol
Vet Squad - meltagun X3, missile Launcher, Carapace Armor, plasma pistol, Chimera
Vet Squad - meltagun X3, missile Launcher, Carapace Armor, plasma pistol, Chimera
Heavy Support

Leman Russ Executioner- Lascannon
Elite
Stormtrooper, meltagun X 2, plasma pistol
Stormtrooper, meltagun X 2, plasma pistol
Fast Attack
Hellhound- Bane Wolf pattern
So first off I notice that my plasma vets don't have a ride. Dang it. This is why I like writing these things up. So I need to find 55 points to get them a ride. Also I have the chimeras equipped with the standard multi-las and heavy bolters. I am wondering if I should change that to multi-las and heavy flamer. since I will be on the move to get those melta guys into position.
A spot where I could save points is in the vet squads with heavy weapon options. If I drop all those I think thta will give me 30 points. and If I drop the sargent's plasma pistols I think I will be right at or around 55pts.
Or should I keep it as is and use this squad to camp on an objective
Looking at the list I have 12kill points which is a bit high I think. with the extra chimera it will bring me to 13.
As far a what else I could bring I have a squad of ratlings, another Russ and a manticore missile system. I have maybe another squad of troopers but no extra heavy weapons.
I might be able to do 2 vet squads, a 20 man platoon squad with a heavy weapons team with CCS and PCS. I might have to pick up some extra guard for this but it might me do able but would it me more effective?
let me know what you think.
