Topic: 1000 Point General Purpose

[Hamburgler Hill]

Hi All,

Just looking for opinions on this general purpose 1000 point list.

HQ
CCS w/ Chimera + Heavy Stubber, 2 Plasma Guns - 160 points
Priest x 2 - 50 points

Troops
1st Platoon
PCS w/ Chimera, 2 Plasma Guns - 125 points
Infantry Squad w/ Lascannon, Melta Bomb and Plasma Gun - 90 points
Infantry Squad w/ Lascannon, Melta Bomb and Plasma Gun - 90 points
Infantry Squad w/ Lascannon, Melta Bomb and Plasma Gun - 90 points

2nd Platoon
PCS w/ Chimera, 2 Plasma Guns - 125 points
Infantry Squad w/ Lascannon, Melta Bomb and Plasma Gun - 90 points
Infantry Squad w/ Lascannon, Melta Bomb and Plasma Gun - 90 points
Infantry Squad w/ Lascannon, Melta Bomb and Plasma Gun - 90 points

No heavy vehicles but tons of antitank and anti infantry firepower. Looking at orders to deny cover or bash MC's/Tanks. Anti-air is lacking but I'm not a huge fan of the valk/vendetta or the hydra and I'm basically trusting to use massed firepower to work them over. The priests are to go in the squads - nine time out of ten I expect to blob these up but it's dependant on opponents/missions etc. Thoughts appreciated.

Looks okay to me. At 1000 points it should do pretty well. Blobbing up all those units into big fearless mobs is just asking to get them tarpitted with something durable in assault, though. If they get locked up, there is almost no rest of your army. Something to consider, anyway. Were I you, I'd be aiming for three groups of two squads, just to prevent putting all your eggs in one basket.

I was thinking 2 blobs of 20 guys with the priests and 2 squads of 10 since it gives more targets and opportunities to return fire. I've tried this a couple of times and it seems to work fairly well.

If people blaze away at the 10 man's they tend to overkill them and end up wasting the remainder of that units shooting, where as firing into a 30 man block means you can cause many many wounds in one turn. 

Cheers for the input.

That seems a workable layout, yes. Good luck with it!
