1000 points list

[bombardment]

So apparently nobody ever likes to give opinions on IG lists in the lists section. I have pruchased most of the models for this army as of now and I will be bringing it to a local 1,000 point tournament with a pretty good representation of all things bad in it. I would like to hear your opinions on the list please. I'm aiming for a lot of redundancy and versatility with the army and I plan on abusing the ever-loving crap out of First rank Fire! Second rank Fire! In playtest with proxies is mopped up some Necrons pretty handily but they are not necessarily a good measuring stick right now. (11/1/2011)

First of all, you need a medic for your command squads. You need them to be able to survive so you can give your troops orders. Also, infantry squads can only have one special weapon, not two. Lastly, it is essential that you bring at least one leman russ. My suggestion, find some way to get a leman russ in there. If you've ever fought against a leman russ you'll know what i am saying.

I am going to make an assumption here: The CCS is going to ride in the Chimera, correct?

I like Plasma guns, but they have a tendency of killing the guardsmen that fire them.

If you want to abuse FRFSRF, I would take a second company command squad

The Griffon is fun, but I would drop this for another 'command' Chimera.

infantry squads can only have one special weapon

The Grenade launcher is a "Special Weapon" the Missile Launcher is a "Heavy Weapon" this is perfectly legal.

it is essential that you bring at least one leman russ

I disagree, while the LRBT is a fearsome opponent and quite useful at this point level, it does not coincide with your stated goals and desired direction of this list.

[scorcher5]

When you're talking about adding a second command squad, do you mean a company command squad, or another platoon command squad? Adding another platoon command squad requires 2-5 infantry squads, which would just be too many points for one order. I wouldn't add another ccs either, seeing as you already have 4 orders to give out to your army.

Or for 90 points you can double your command radios and number of orders with Creed. Plus you get to make something scout and if your feeling froggy send your guys in for one big hu-ra before their arms are pulled off and they are beaten with them

company command squad

^Yes this is what I meant, With 2 CCS he could issue orders to all squads and be more spread out than if you take creed. Although if want to pump out the orders, Creed is your man! Problem is, he costs more than your Griffon.

Hey,

Just curious, but have you considered commissars or regimental standards?
Otherwise, your troops will flee as soon as things go wrong...

For abusing the orders, I would recommend the voxcasters. They are 5 points per model and are quite useful.

Lastly, I don't think a chimera, Vendatta and a Griffon aren't so hard to take down.
Do you have these models or not?
Based upon that, we can give you some advice related to the vehicles.
