Plans a simple one. All the fast stuff goes on one flank. Rattlings, penal, marbo, rough riders. Tanks go on the other flank/somewere in cover with the techpriest. Line squads cover the heavy weapons team.The primus forces leadership tests for shots, commisar lord keeps everybodies leardership at 10. The battle squad lowers leadership for the rattlings and mortars. Around turn 3 the Death strike can start launching up to12 blasts of doom.

The death-strike missle launcher is only a one shot wonder. Are you thinking of the manticore? the points are right for it, if so why would you wait till round 3 to use it?

There are a few reasons I like the death strike. First off It comes with an heavy bolter so It's doing something while it's being loaded. Second getting a weapon destroyed only gives it a -1 to shoot, but can still be removed by the tech-priest. Third, an up to 12" str 10 ap1 cover save removing blast will pull some heat off the guardsmen in the later turns or blast an Objective clear. Plus with it's completly silly range and indirect fire it can hit anything, from anywhere. Also note that it does not have a center of blast and any vehicles even slightly clipped suffer a str 10 hit.

I understand the differences and advantages between the two, the reason I posted was because you mentioned 12 blasts of doom in reference to the Death-Strike missile launcher. The Death-Strike is one shot only with one blast template at d3+3 inches, after that all you have is a hvy bolter.

The Manticore has the potental to unleash 12 blasts of doom with its d3 barrages per shot. Thats why I was wondering what you were actually refering too in your post.

I meant a 12" blast of doom. Looking back on it I over looked the one shot a game bit. That makes me a sad puppy.

I think the deathstrike is going to prove to be very interesting, as it can become a VERY high value target for your opponent to take out, thus, as Sexiest said, taking away some heat from your guardsmen.

I'm trying to build a list of my own and am having trouble, as I don't know exactly what kind of armour I want.

Here's my IG LIST TOO!!!!!

Uh....

you know...... if you want a mob CC army.... its called nids right?

More power to you though, this is close to what id run if I tried to run a CC guard. Though I would never do that. Youv made a decent list for what your trying to do, I just think the army itself will end up hendering you.

About the list though...

Snipers with your command squad that has a power weapon? thats a no-no
you realise the snipers are heavy 1 right? You want to keep your commander mobile even with your com lord out there. Consider plasmaguns, possibly flamers depending on your play style.

Techpriests are even more useless now, the game is too quick and they are a huge waste of points. Yeah I know he has a powerfist but hes not worth it, not by a long shot. You want a PF? Stick it on someone with a squad that can soak some shots.

Use those points to buy some assault weapons for your infantry squads, even a grenade launcher is worth it.

In reference to your heavy weapons teams, have you ever heard of the 3Cs?

Read it here http://commissar.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Tactics&action=display&thread=6314

The part you should read is the last C, pick 2 heavy weapons and stick with em. I like the missile launcher and lascannon for your army.

Hydra eh? You know depending on who your playing these things can actually be awesome. Damn triple land speeder armies.

Exterminator is finally worth it but I think your army a demolisher is too good to pass up. It gets in close and has that str 10 your gonna need for DCCs

The manticore is something we will probably be seeing alot of. Its killing power is obscene, and you can spend a turn to get it into a good position and not feel like your wasting a shot.

Hope that helps

Thanks for the feed back. I read that 3 c tactica just the other day. The plan is for the list to be a counter charge list. Lascannons to stun or shake AV 14, missiles and auto-cannons formed armor. Heavy-bolters for hordes and plasmaguns for transports. the snipers and rattlings are there just to try for the pin with the Psyker squad's help. I think I may take your advice on the demolisher. I will think about trading in the sniper rifles for plasma guns or grenade launchers. Much food for though....
