Sydney GT List Options

[Sithspawn]

Well, heres what I'm taking...

Should be fun, friendly, and able to take on most things, hell, it might even stand a chance against an opponents army! That would be a first for an army made by me!!

I'll probably also keep this army for the Medusa V campaign, or only slightly change it to remove the Armoured Fist squad and make them another platoon...

Rank me, grade me, tell me how good I am because I am oh so good pleeeeeease??? (Simpsons anyone?)
Um, yeah, comp marks? Problems, issues, weaknesses? go nuts.

This must be the best list ever, no one has a problem with it, no one has any improvements to make.

Wow.

I doubt even the great emperor of mankind could do better. Oh crap, now a Commissar is going to shoot me for blasphemy.

I think it is quite a good list, though I think that plasma cannons on the demolisher would be better. I know whenever I face my brothers guard army and he equips his demolisher with plasma it is a real thorn in the side of my marine force.
Great to see a psyker, i know they can be randomn, but I think they are an underutilised force!
Infiltrating stormtroopers are also a must in any guard force.
Anyways, I've commented!
Cheers,

Thanks Ashen,

I dig the comment on plasma, however, I have stated my position on plasma cannons on Demolisher in the 40k General discussion... seems like too much of a points sink for me, and its not in line with how I play the demolisher... Its an attack tank to me, and doesnt require them.

I love the psyker!! I dont think he is very useful, but I like the model for it and it fits the theme of my army (air force ground troops) as he is actually meant to be an astropath/psyker...

yep, the stormies are great, it was a hard choice between plasma and melta options, but I stuck with plasma as its more useful if they cant infiltrate...

thanks for the response!!

Looks like a really nice list mate. No problems from me.

Guard have so many options that it is hard to perfect it, however this seems like a nice balanced list. Good stuff.

Now get painting.

[Sithspawn]

xstatika - thanks mate, thats what I was trying for, balance!! (once I get balance perfected, then i'll go off and do crazy stuff like an AC list, or an all footsloggers list! ha ha)

and yeah, painting... damn.... only got 1/2 the roughriders, 2 infantry squads, 1/2 the stormtroops and the turret of the demolisher to go! YAY!!!!!
