[1500] Daemonhunters and Imperial Guard List - Help Please!

Inquisitor Lord - Power Weapon, Combi-Meltagun, 75pts (75pts)

Click to expand...

If the only reason you have this guy is to get the assassin, then put him in the elites slot and drop the power weapon and combi-melta. As it is now, this guy is terrible in cc, even with the power weapon, and he doesn't even have a pistol. On the other hand, he is ok at shooting, but the points sink into the power weapon makes no sense. Even looking at it this way, that combi-melta will get no use because no tanks will be stupid enough to chance getting too close.

With the IG, I suggest taking a platoon and an Armoured fist squad, I do it and it works out fine. With the Platoon, you have a lot of flexibility in how many squads and which weapons to take. Plus, while many people think that the IG's weakness is tanks, it is actually heavy weapons, the tanks are just a nice little addition. Because of this, instead of taking the plasma gun in the second squad, try getting another missile or something that can better compliment your own weaknesses.

In general tactics, stay out of close combat as much as possible and pour fire into their vehicles. Keep in mind that most of their vehicles are fast and open topped, which means that they can assault right out of them.

Ive taken in what everyone has said and tried to improve my list. I am 95pts over 1500 atm and I know that. Some help with what to take out would be nice

Your new list is much better, but you have some uselless units, (Inquisitor, IG Command Squad, Armoured Fist Squad etc )

You are trying to put too much in a 1500pts list. Personally I like what you are trying to do:yes: , but to do it, you need 2000pts.

If you are really stuck on the Leman Russ and IG, I would drop the Inquisitor and Assassin. Thats 140pts that would let you upgrade some things that need it like adding a HW to the IG Command Squad, and Armoured Fist Squad.

Make sure you give a HW to any IG squad and preferably a Special Weapon as well. In my Deamonhunter lists, I always have Lascannon/Plasma Gun, or Missle Launcher/Plasma Gun.

If you take an Inquisitor, at least make him usefull. I just add a Psycannon and add him to a PAGK squad that already has two Psycannon's in it. It makes a great firebase.

I suppose you could lose one of the Dreads, instead of dropping the =][= and Callidus?!

Always add smoke to AC Dreads, and I usually add Extra Armour as well.

It is better to make lists with properly set set up units, than to take more useless ones.

Cheers!

Ok, I know im trying to too much. Ive taken out a Dread, the =][= (<--thats kool ) and the Assassain, I also replaced my Grandmasters Psycannon with a Stormbolter and gave him the Hamerhand psychic power.
