1500 Points Light Infantry

[Subtle Blatancy]

Hello there! Subtle Blatancy here with a list for possible future 40k Tournaments. I am, generally, trying to make a well rounded, efficient, yet individual army. Any questions about some of my unit (MEU, for example) can mostly be answered by reading a post by Yours Truly in the Fluff Section.

Anyway, this is what I've got - any tips or suggestions or changes are greatly appreciated:

Well, there you go. Right off the bat, I'd like to admit that I have a rather pathetically small Anti-Tank Selection. I'm aware of this, but I'm not 100% on how to fix the problem. Also, Mobility is slightly lax. I tried to make up for it with Light Infantry (Infiltrate), but, again, some advice would be great.
Thanks in advance! ;D

Consider maxing out on meltaguns in you veteren squads to boost AT power, take away the vet. srgts in the squads as you haven't upgraded their weapons they are a points drag. I would drop one of the squads in the 412th platoon. My 1500pts list uses all three heavy support choices but I don't use light infantry. I use 10 ratlings only because I play against a lot of ravenwing armies otherwise their not worth it. I would like to point out that the main point of light infantry is to stay mobile and infilltrate and utilise multiple special weapons. Against most armies with even rudimentary CC power such as Kroot Carnivores static platoons that infilltrate are asking to die. Overall I would suggest trying to fit in a demolisher with PC's and seriously consider taking the heavy weapons out of the infantry squads and replacing them with special weapons. Hope this is helpful.

Thank you very much Karskin, for the reply!

Okay, here we are. I have edited this list quite a bit, and here it is in new, brilliant form! To save anyone from reading it all over again, here are the main differences:

- 1 Less Squad in 412th Platoon
- All Squads now have a Plasmagun instead of a Heavy Bolter
- All Squads now are without a Veteran Sergeant
- Platoon Command Squads now have 2 Plasmaguns instead of a Lascannon, and both have Medics.
- The MEU (Veteran) Squads now have 3 Meltaguns each, are Hardened Veterans, and have Surveyors
- The Hellhound and the Basilisk were forfeit to make up points elsewhere, and were replaced by a Demolisher with Hull Lascannon and Sponson Plasmacannons

There you go. In case you wanted to see what it looks like on paper, I've got the new version posted down below. Still, I'm open to suggestions and comments! Thanks in advance.
