Pregame: Imperial Guard Vs Salamanders

I get to play a good Friend, Chosen1 from Team Snake Eyes Blog, before heading back home. He wanted to try out his friendly list for Adepticon. Since I dubbed this month IG month I quickly slapped together an army. Let's look at My list:

HQ
Company Command Squad
    Lascannon team
    Camo cloaks
    sniper X 2
    Master of Ordnance
   
Troops
Platoon
    Platoon Command Squad
        Lascannon team
    Infantry squad
        Commissar
        Missile team
    infantry Squad
        Missile team
Veteran squad
    melta X 3
    chimera
Veteran squad
    melta X 3
    chimera
   
Fast Attack   
Bane Wolf
Bane Wolf

Heavy Support
Executioner Leman Russ
Executioner Leman Russ

Elite
Marbo

Fortifications
Aegis Defence Line
    Quad cannon

The idea is to have the blob and command squads sit back behind the ADL and provide cover for the tanks as they move up field and take objectives and/or engage the enemy.  I need to actually get or make a Marbo miniature.  I don't like the GW version since he is all rambo like.  My version will be more master chief like. It is only 1500 points and I have 6 tanks.  I know that I am probably asking for a woopin and pretty much surrending first blood if I go second but what can I say I love tanks. I probably could get rid of the chimeras and the bane wolfs and add in a couple vendettas but I only have 1 of those and I am trying to keep it a little friendly.

His list looks like this:
HQ
Vulkan
Command Squad
    Apothecary
    Company Champion
    Razorback
        Heavy bolter
       
Elite
Dreadnought
    lascannon
    missile launcher

Troops
Tactical Squad
    Flamer
    Missile Launcher flakk Missiles
    Sergeant
        Master crafted(MC) combi-melta
    Razorback
        Heavy bolter

    Flamer

    Sniper Rifle X 4

I am hoping my numbers will help me out and make it hard for him to advance on me.  De doesn't have much anti tank and hopefully I can get them before they get me. Over all it should be fun.  I am looking forward to playing Chosen1.  Since my move I have missed the comradely of the old gang.  hopefully I will get some decent photos and get to put up a battle report.
