The tactic is actually to "hope" I pop the deamons rather quickly, to keep the objects behind me secure, while the rest of the army moves into position to attack and conquer.

Tactics,
The russ and demos are used to shield the chimeras. Grens grab objectives or go for targets such as tanks with the meltas. Sentinels have options to drop flank or scout forward however flanking will be used frequently. The main command is a suicide unit and also the sentinels can be used as a screen for tanks or distraction to cover the grenadiers forward movements.

I think the guard are going to win the war but loose the battle. I think they will kill more of chaos but with the kp difference in the lists the chaos player should be able to get more kp even if he actually kills less. CSM.

I agree, the guard will do massive damage, but lose on killpoints. Chaos will be bringing new skulls for Khorne tonight!

[Skarsgard]

Killpoints, killpoints and more killpoints.

Sorry guard, this one goes to CSM.

[danjones87]

My vote goes to the Chaos, they yeild less kill points and they can be in there fast and hard with the rhino bourne squads and raptors.
