assuming i listed everything correctly by memmory should be 1850 exactly

i know this isnt an "optimized" list but thats not what i aimed for... i tried playing what i like and also tried to keep it compy(for IG at least) so this is what i came up with,most infantry is on foot, i took 2x5 ratlings which i have never used but dont forsee being very usefull except the random pinn against non-fearless foes, maybe lucky rends against termies and such, but make easy KP's for a mobile foe..

[Krusty (zack)]

its not optimized, but its certainly not a bad list...

im just a bit hesitant about lascannon sentinels...
one bs 3 shot with out being able to take orders isnt as good as taking a bs 3 template, or 3 shots at str 6
i think you have enough anti tank to handle most armies, a plasmacannon or multilaser might be a better option for him in this list

[sinistermind]

yea i see your point on the sentinel, thanks krusty!

also incase anyone was wondering this list scored just above average on comp, judged around 72-74, i was hoping for better but i guess thats decent for the lists capabilities

[MajorSoB]

72 points is a decent score, it is above average and you still have a good amount of pain packed in that list. Your list contains some hard elements but also has some units not seen as often like Ratlings and Penal Legion. Keep in mind your score when you see some of the more optimized guard lists that will show up. Most guard being played now days will score near the bottom of the comp spectrum.

Glad to see Buffalo represent, hope you have fun!

[chumbalaya]

Yeah, the 70 range is astounding for Guard. Usually people see Chimeras and everything goes red

List itself isn't optimal, but it's got enough bodies, mobility and guns to do pretty well. I'm not a huge fan of the blinged out Russ (like to keep the tanks rolling to avoid getting hit in CC) or lascannon/missile HWS (too vulnerable, Ld7 sucks for orders) though.

Hope you have fun.

I SAY HECK WITH COMP!!!!!!!

[primarchpatrick]

no just kidding. ;D

[sinistermind]

thanks for all the feedback on the list!!! i know what you mean about the russ, usually a regular battletank i wouldnt bling out but i deemed to take out my favorite variant the executioner, so i decided to add plasma killyness through the russ....

glad to represent Buffalo!!

i cant wait for a weekend full of fun and 40k its gunn rule

[primarchpatrick]

I Like plasma killeyness, i have two executioners with plasma sponsons. I take it you want a good comp score? i gave up on a good comp. im using yarrick and all that cheesey stuff

[sinistermind]

yea executioners are awesome, i was gunna ignore comp but i decided this will give me a chance to do better in rankings and also test myself with a less cheesy list against other tournament goers...

goodluck to you though and maybe our paths will cross on the field of battle!
