In my local GW there is going to be a league running for a few months starting at 500pts and going up by 500pts each month until the end of Feb. Everything needs to be painted and based to be used and so I've decided to use this as an extra motivator to get my Guard painted.
I've come up with 2 lists so far
The 1st is light on bodies meaning it'll be easier for me to get painted before the league kicks off. However it is light on heavy weapons and I'm hoping that the low points will result in fewer vehicles to deal with.
Command Squad - Vox-Caster, Medic, Mortar 50
Guardsman Marbo 65
Veteran Squad - Mortar, Vox-Caster 80
Veteran Squad - Mortar, Vox-Caster 80
Leman Russ - Hull mounted Lascannon, Heavy Bolters Sponsons 185
The second list is slightly heavier on bodies with the Infantry Platoon having the squads combined to use first rank second rank and claim objectives. The veteran squad will be my vehicle and big target killer.
Command Squad - Vox-caster, medic 85
Guardsman Marbo 65
Veteran Squad - 2 x Plasma Guns, 1 x Missile Launcher, Vox-Caster 120
Infantry Platoon
Command Squad 30
Infantry Squad - Vox- Caster 55
Infantry Squad - Commissar 85
Heavy Weapons Squad - Mortars 60
Unfortunately the lists are limited by the models I currently have as with Christmas around the corner I dont want to start shelling out cash. I'm leaning towards the 1st list at the moment as I'm hoping the abundance of mortars will make a nuisance of themselves along with the Russ being a hard target.
Comments, suggestions and criticism welcome and appreciated.
