1750 fun tourney army!

[imperialwarjunky]

A few friends and I are putting together a small tournament using all of our armies. We all have to build a 1750pt army and we can't make any adjustments throughout the tournament (change up stats/units between games according to the army you face).
I'm the only IG army, and I'll be up against Orks, Nids, SM, CSM, and Space wolves.
My army is looking like:

Company Command Squad
- (4) Grenade launchers

Vets (4 squads)
- (9) PG's, (3) PP's, (3) GL's, (4) Heavy Bolters
- Harker leading 1 squad with Demolitions
- 3 squads with carapace (all with PG's)
- 2 chimera's with 2 Heavy Bolters each

2 Vendetta's

Platoon
Command Squad aka 'Fire Box'
- (3) Flamers, (1) Heavy Flamer, (1) Bolt Pistol
- Chimera with (2) Heavy Flamers

(2) Infantry squads
- (2) Heavy Bolters, (2) Bolt Pistols

LR Demolisher Tank
LR Battle Tank
- Each tank has a Lascannon, Heavy Bolter sponsons.

What do you guys think?

I dunno why you'd want bolt pistols, they're kind of a waste. The second HB in Harker's squad is also a bit wasted (you want to move and shoot with him) and I'd drop the lascannon at least from the LRBT. If you also included HBs in the plasma squads, drop them. Total waste since plasma and HBs have completely different targets.


I also think the Heavy Flamer in the PCS is way overpriced and in general I prefer to keep the ML on Chimeras (otherwise they won't be able to do ANYTHING until they're in flamer range, which is to close for comfort. Generally I also wouldn't take double HBs for the veterans' chimeras. Since you're going up against lots of MEQs, the extra S from a ML is nice.

With the points saved I would get a chimera for the CCS. I'm also not a big fan of HB sponsons on Demolishers. I'd drop them completely and get a pair of plasma sponsons, either for the Demolisher (which would hurt as hell when you're close enough) or give them to the LRBT to make a sort of poor man's Executioner.

Except for the it looks good. Too summarize:
- Drop all heavy bolters in the veteran squads.
- Drop the Heavy Flamer in the PCS (for a standard flamer)
- Drop LC on LRBT
- Exchange Turret HF and turret HB on chimeras for ML
- Get plasma sponsons for on of the tanks, consider dropping sponsons completely for the other
- Buy chimera for CCS
- Kick as*s

Also, as a general advice, Harker's squad will be really expensive with Demolitions, but still very fragile. If you want tankbusting capabilities you could always give one of the other squads Meltas.
Carapace is really expensive but I understand you want it to keep the plasma vets alive. However, if you drop plasma for meltas from one of the squads you can save the points and that alone will almost get you a chimera for the CCS.
If you have points to spare, give the infantry squads GLs. I'm guessing they'll be objective camping so a bit of extra fire power never hurt. I'd also try to get enough point to give them the wonderfully all-around GL+AC combo.

Kick A*ss

Also, post pictures of your army.
