For Holy Terra Because space is scary

Winning At A Number Much Lower Than All But Higher Than My Normal Costs

Tomorrow is the ‘Ard Boyz semifinals, and I’m going to do something that I normally wouldn’t do.  For starters, I’m not going to modify my list.  I’m not bringing the army that got me past the first round.  I’m not even bringing an army that I own.  It feels a bit weird, but opportunity knocks, there are significant prizes on the line, and there will be some of the least generous and fun players in the tri-state region in attendance.  Real WAAC guys.  I’m not that kind of player, so there’s a good chance that I’d get slaughtered if I brought my fun-but-not-perfect army to the table.

The guy running the escalation league with me can’t make it to round 2, so he offered up his Imperial Guard army for me to run.  I had to think about that for about 5 seconds before saying yes.

Here’s the list:

HQ
175 Company Command w/  Creed, Astropath, Mortar
55 Chimera w/ Heavy Flamer

Troops
Platoon 1
60 Command Squad – 2x Meltagun, Autocannon
55 Chimera w/ Heavy Flamer
120 Infantry Squad 1 – Commisar w/ Power Weapon, Lascannon
70  Infantry Squad 2 – Lascannon
70  Infantry Squad 3 – Lascannon
70  Infantry Squad 4 – Lascannon
70  Infantry Squad 5 – Lascannon

Platoon 2
60 Command Squad – 2x Meltagun, Autocannon
55 Chimera w/ Heavy Flamer
120 Infantry Squad 1 – Commisar w/ Power Weapon, Lascannon
70  Infantry Squad 2 – Lascannon
70  Infantry Squad 3 – Lascannon
70  Infantry Squad 4 – Lascannon
70  Infantry Squad 5 – Lascannon

Platoon 3
60 Command Squad – 2x Meltagun, Autocannon
55 Chimera w/ Heavy Flamer
120 Infantry Squad 1 – Commisar w/ Power Weapon, Sergeant w/ Power Weapon & Meltabombs
70  Infantry Squad 2 – Sergeant w/ Power Weapon, Meltagun
70  Infantry Squad 3 – Sergeant w/ Power Weapon, Meltagun
70  Infantry Squad 4 – Sergeant w/ Power Weapon, Meltagun
70  Infantry Squad 5 – Sergeant w/ Power Weapon, Meltagun

Heavy Support
330 Leman Russ Squadron 1 - Battle Tank, Demolisher w/ Lascannon
395 Leman Russ Squadron 2 – Battle Tank, Executioner w/ Plasma Cannon Sponsons

That’s close to 170 models romping around the battlefield.  However, it offers up only 13 kill points while providing 18 scoring units.  Mind = blown!  Of course, I’m nowhere near as good as this army’s owner, so this list is in no way a guarantee of winning.  It does improve my chances, though.
