HQ: Take a standard to keep the platoon happy. HWS only have Ld7 and can easily run away.

Troops: Al'Rahem's PCS needs a chimera to keep them alive or provide a bit more distance on the turn you arrive to get the flamers in range. This platoon must outflank and the enemy know this so are unlikey to put troops or tanks within 18" of the flanks. now the platoon is a bit useless and with no astropath may not arrive on the correct side. I would mechanise them with 3-4 units in chimeras and a melta SWS in the vendetta. Driop the commisar, grenades and power axes to help pay for the chimeras.

Static platoon looks ok.

Fast: Good.

Heavy: Fine.

 

Looks good but I don't think a Commissar can have a Laspistol.

 

You need some chimera's for those special weapon squads or they will be torn apart.

 

Manticore! *tears up* I love them.

 

Thanks everyone for the speedy replies!

Oversight on the Commissars basic war gear. Simply meant he didn't have any upgrades since I don't intend to ever except a challenge with him

As for the Chimeras missing from the list this was actually an attempt to make a non-mechanized guard army. My current standard list is running 6 Chimeras and 11 tanks total lol.

I guess the question I should ask is are Imperial guard crippled without Chimeras? Mine tend to be death traps for the occupants as soon as it blows up :O

 

Well yeah when a chimera blows up they are usually screwed so can't really do much there. You could run one chimera put a special weapon squad in it and the other special weapon squad could ride around in the vendetta gunship.

 

I agree.

 

plasma sponsons love to glance our tanks to death. i used to love my full on plasma tank... its so beautiful! however now its just going to kill its self at the first opportunity, and then thats a huge point investment down the drain. probably ok with just flamer or HB sponsons. i usually go without sponsons now.

 

Welcome to the hobby hehe. What reigns supreme in one edition can and likley will be drek in the next.

 

I also loved my executioner but now I never use them because of the gets hot rule.

 

main gun doesnt get hot, so its still pretty good. just save a few points and go with hb or flamer sponsons. maybe melta
