I used my 1.5k list. and the opponnt had 10 termie, captain with termie armor and power weapon, storm bolter, 2 units of 10 tac marines. 1 squad with sarge and power fist and storm bolter, flamer, and heavy bolter in a rhino.
The other squad a meltagun and lascannon. Then he had a venerable dread with assault cannon and storm bolter. A predator annihilator with heavy bolter sides.
Yea, basically I lost horribly, 9 kill points, to 4. Not really bad for first time playing guard in 5th edition.
Grenade launchers really helped popped the rhino, and my chimeras didnt do much, I immobilized the pred from the side with one chimera. Uh, I'm almost convinced I do need more low ap weapons, as well, I had NONE. The battle cannon hit the 2nd tac squad and killed all but 1 marine in one shot. I was happy about that. I annihilated the other squad with the other russ's shot. Overall he had his master, and one terminator left, one rhino with the lascannon tac marine, and the predator left. I had 1 leman russ, 2 squads with grenades and missile, and then 1 of my chimera squads. The chimera was destroyed from the ven dread shooting.
Either way, it was an ok game, but I'm going to go mech from now on. Sitting back and doing nothing really eh.. makes it one sided. Him stealing the initiative and zooming up his rhino on the road really hurt, as it brought both termie squads in easily. Then i destroyed the stupid squad with a battlecannon shot.
