Creed and Kell seem good value, I want Creed for the reroll to see who goes first, which I always, always, ALWAYS lose.

Lots of heavy weapons because (1) I own them and (2) I play Lost and The Damned right now who just cant get very many heavy weapons so in the last game I played the Goff hoard just washed over me.

I could be playing against anyone from Orks and Nids to Deamon Hunters and Space Marines

I was thinking of ditching the Veterans for Sharp Shooters and Carapace Armour. perhaps Close Order Drill as well.

I can see that this army will be a bit static, we don't often play missions, but 'stand and shoot' can get a bit dull so I'd like to make it a bit more exciting. Also is one Leman a sitting duck?

I also own another:
2 Leman russ
10 Rough Riders
1 Hellhound
2 Thudd guns (rules are found on Forgeworld)

What would you do?
Any and all suggestions are much appreciated.

PS. Sorry if my layout sucks, I'm new here.

Okay.... drop one lascannon team and 1 heavy bolter team. that should give you some leeway.
Drop the basilisk and thud gun for a LRBT with a lascannon. Give you commanders powerswords, at only 5pts a model they are worth it. You currently have enough ant- infantry firepower to obliterate an entire ork army on a single turn of shooting. Maybe too much even.

You need an objective-grabber. i suggest stormtoopers with deepstike, that way, if you can't deepstike, use them as a mobile special weapons team

By the way (I tried to say), where are your doctrines?

[ssgtdude (M.I.A)]

That bassi needs indirect fire as well. To often terrain will be against you.

While plasma is great, it is only better if you have a medic.

You can also try replacing one of the Lascannon teams with an auto cannon team. That will free up a few points

[Deleted]

my suggestion would be to remove the thudd gun and replace it with some hardcore sharpshooter doctrine points. Giving your support suqads as well as 2 infantry squads sharpshooters greatly increases the accuracy as well as damage potential....after all, who doesn't want to see a guardsmen roll a 1 to hit a chaos defiler? otherwise, your list is pretty awesome, nice fire bases, static defense line.....but caution....veterans seem like only viable objective claimers, or do you just play cleanse? tool around....even a veteran squad cannot claim things by themselves =D

Right the Squads, Tanks and such as in Bold are what you should be doing with them.

3 Leman Russes is better than one, Lancester Square rule.

Back the Hellhound up with 3 Leman Ruses and the Sentinels, Sweeping in the Rough Riders in front of them, gives you a better move.

If you can have 10 Rough riders in a squad [No codex handy at the moment =[] Then move them into one squad and bring the Senitnels into Fast attack, and stick in another support squadron of Snipers or something.

what's a thudd gun?

[twerd]

expermental weapon from forge world

[Deleted]

could you tell me their Rng, Strngth and Ap?

[sammy1979]

its a ye olde weapon from rt days but its been updated i think the rules have been published on the forge world site, back in the day it worked like twin twin linked mortors i think,

[twerd]

we can't post stats on this site bucktooth

[Deleted]

hmm, oh well, i had a look at it, and i can see why it would work like a TL mortar, funny name,
Thudd

[twerd]

proably the sound of it firing bucktooth or when a dud hits an ork thudd

[Rolling Thunder]

Don't use basilisks whatsoever, they have the net survival quotient of a jellyfish in a desert.

If you're gonna take another support squad, use a pair of meltaguns and a demolition charge. It can be easily hidden and will obliterate any assaulting units like they aren't even there.
