Imperial Guard List - 500 point Escalation

So, my basic Guard are going to what I'm fielding in the Escalation League. Since the 500 point game is first, here's the list I think I'll field for it!


Veteran Squad

- 10x Shotguns

- 3x meltaguns

- Grenadiers doctrine (carapace armor)

-- Chimera - Multilaser, Heavy Bolter, Extra Armor

Armored Sentinel

- Multilaser

Armored Sentinel

- Multilaser

It comes out to 495 points. What I'm thinking of doing is using the Chimeras' 5 fire points to drive around and shoot stuff up with the multilasers and meltaguns. The two Sentinels will be in a squadron and add extra shots to whatever the Chimeras are shooting at. Hopefully the fact that I'll have 4 armored vehicles will throw others for a loop, and they won't have enough firepower to knock my guys out early.

What do you think?

Do you smell bacon?

I definitely smell a pork-related substance.

For anyone who cares, I'm changing majors! After a rough programming class, I've decided not to pursue a Computer Science major, and instead I'm going to talk to a guidance counselor about changing my major to Sociology with a concentration in Criminology/Criminal Justice! More later, after my meeting!

EDIT: I'm in! Watch out world or I'll arrest your perpetrating heinie!

Bring main gun to bear, FIRE!

So, the best part of the Guard is the tanky goodness. They can spam tanks like other armies spam infantry, and if there's not something with treads on the table you're doing something wrong. However, leafblowing is not what I'm about. I'm one of those freaks who likes to play with a theme.

So, I'm going for an armored regiment. It's allllll about the Leman Russes for me, and I'm trying to keep it themed. No ground pounders, no artillery. But my question is, what kind of tanks? There will be normal Leman Russes, for sure, but what kind of variants?

3rd Times the Charm, Right?

F1R5T P05T!

So, third try. And maybe this time it'll last for more than two weeks before I get bored.

See ya!
