IG 1500pts - anti DA/SM, Help/advice appreciated

Explain the thinking behind one Flamer in each as opposed to 3Gl blob and 2 Flamer blob please. Although this might seem a silly request, I need to understand before I critique.

Cool. So.

Did you find the regimental standard useful in your last game? The buff isn't really needed when you're going to get your arse handed to you in every cc anyway. Those points could be better used on another Dark Angel melting plasma gun.

Although both Flamers and grenade launchers are cheaper than a tramps sister, unlike tramps and your sister, they do not mix well.

Like meltaguns and plasma guns, they play separate roles. Flamers are for close up flaming and grenade launchers are for mid-long range grenading. So if you mix a squad, 50% of your weapons at anyone time are useless.

If you just want a 20 man meat shield to tie up terminators, give both Flamers to them. If you're lucky they might be able to blast a couple shots before they get routed and die. This fees up three grenade launching bad asses to lend support to your 30 blob.

Give your commissar a power weapon. Looks cool and helps if you absolutely have to take a charging.

Sentinels are meh. MORE LEMAN RUSS BATTLE TANKS!! In all honesty, multiple battle cannons ruins anybody's day. Plus AV14 forces him to concentrate his fire and act or leave you to tear chunks out of his army. Hull heavy flamer for killing anything that tries to get close enough to melta. Plus, for what they do, Leman Russ' are cheaper than Kerry katona on crack. And that is CHEAP.

Only two plasma on veteran squad? Why have a vet squad if you're not using that third slot, it's what they're for.

How are your PCS melta guns going to get close enough to use their meltas? Waiting for the enemy works, plus it's a deterrent.

I still think special weapon squads are pointless. One of those plasma guns could be given to that third veteran who has a higher BS.

Ratlings are good.

Infantry squads are good.

You were unlucky time wise last game, let me know how the vendetta does this time, reserves can be sucky when they don't work but all powerful when they do.

Hope this is what you were after.

P.s I have no idea if you even have a sister and any mention of her possible virtue is purely estimated. Kerry katona on the other hand is very, very cheap.

- Brilliant, plasma is good, I used the RS in one game and dropped it when I first had guard. My CCS is 4x Plasma, plasma pistol and powersword and they murder Power armour.

- Leave the plasma cannons for the dark angels, they can play with their pie plates whilst you play with your battle cannon. Both with hull heavy Flamer and no sponsons.

- The PCS is fine, keep them shielded and if he gets and nasty CC units within range, blast them with the meltas. At worst they're a deterrent to his expensive unit, at best they'll kill his warlord when he isn't paying attention.

-That sounds like a decent use of the 80 points yeah, gives you more vehicles which he has to counter and split his fire whilst simultaneously protecting more of your squishy men.

Go get him.
