Company command Squad Question

[Serring]

Another Question that has nothing to do with my original question.
Even though It lacks chimeras would this be a reasonable 1250 list ( or slightly over 1250 )


hq: CCS - Standard, Vox, sniper,grenade launcher, master of the fleet
troops: 4 infantry squads, grenade launcher x 2, autocannon x2
2 PCS, standard, grenade launcher
heavy weapon squad with lascannons
Penal Legion
Elites: 10 Ratlings
Guardsmen Marbo
fast Attack: 30 rough riders (Yes, you read correctly)
heavy support: Leman Russ Battletank, lascannon and plasma sponsons


This isn't exactly what it is since my refrence sheet is 40 feet away from me and I don't want to stop typing.

I think the Russ would be better if it was a Demolisher, more ap2 and better anti-tank. Also consider using 3 plas guns, plas pistol, medic and possibly carapace for you CCS, that set up has worked wonders for me killing teminators and MCs (including 2 Dreadknights one game) with ease.

Is it possible for one guardsmen to carry a vox caster and a grenade launcher?

No. However, The Veteran may still exchange his Lasgun for a Laspistol if he is upgraded to carry a Vox-Caster - the same is true of the Regimental Standard and Medi-Pack.

That said you should really have your CCS concentrate on a weapon type - 4xMelta, 4xPlasma, Lascannon Team + MoO, and 4xGL are all pretty decent. I've had a lot of success with 3xMelta + Regimental Standard, or "the works" with Straken, Medic/Laspistol, Standard/Laspistol, 2xMelta, 2 Bodyguards, Astropath/OotF, and Carapace Armor.

As fun as fielding 30 rough riders seems, what should I put in instead?

Give your infantry squad sergeants power weapons and a commissar with a power weapon and blob them up.

That is, if you're still set on not using a lot of vehicles as your list suggests.

What about putting in a manticore or another leman Russ?

Those are great options, but you'll need a plan if/when the enemy gets into your lines. Even 3 surviving marines can assault and sweep your infantry the way they're currently loaded out
