Here is a 2000 IG list I came up with. You guys have any suggestion to improve this.

[JC 042]

More "BEHNBLEHDES!!!" and where is "CREEEED!"?

Not really, I just like using a lot of memes, list looks pretty good.

I'm not sure about having the sentinels AND the Heavy Weapon Platforms AND Leman Russ's, it's kinda insult to injury, I'd replace the sentinels with veterans or karaskans or Ogryns or some other elite units.

Why beat your enemy when you can crush them.

It seems to be a pretty solid list, but I get a feeling it's more of a "jack of all trades master of none" list. I think you might struggle with lists that are very focused in one type of play.

I just spotted the second page... Insult to injury followed by a tea bagging

What would be your suggestion?

What would be your suggestion?

There really is no suggestions I can make to the list itself (unless you know what your enemy is bringing). It's a solid list and even if I said you might struggle against a focused list, it really comes down to the battle itself.

[JC 042]

I think the list is solid, a list COULD counter it if it is specialised but it I think the army you are up against is more of the deciding factors, Dark Eldar, Eldar Necrons, and maybe Tau, will wipe the floor with you, but EVERYTHING else you go up against you will destroy.

If you can make another list good at countering the 4 armies specialised you would be an impressive player.

[Sammael]

That's a solid enough list. Any specialized list will take down another army, that's why specializing everything if you know who you're playing is a bit cheesy. If you're ever looking for more options, dropping in the Sentinels and throwing in a Hellhound, or replacing the Russes with Vendettas gives you some viable changes that add a different twist on the Guard.

[CruciasNZ]

Specialize the tanks, 2x Leman Russ Vanquisher for other tanks, Exterminator for Infantry

You might also want to consider Basilisks. They are incredibly useful, especially against swarm armies such as Daemons, Nids, and Orks.

If this is to be a TT army magnetize the gun mounts so you can swap them. Make sure the entire troop is armed for stalking the same type of target. Multilaser or AC for example to deal with Infantry, Lascannon for Vehicles and Battlesuits

If you have the points consider Valkyries instead of Chimeras

[forcanator]

I think you should consider giving the squads that can have them some special weapons. where are the meltas and plasma and etc... Heavy flamers really work well. You could add 12 or more special weapons (not including power fists on your sergeants) those weapons really make assaulting units think twice, and they will be assaulted, especially with the new overwatch rule.

[JC 042]

If I was to make a specialised list with my Blood Angels it will likely be a really fast moving one, I'll post up a list maybe, if you think you can make another one to then counter it that would be impressive.

[Authrix]

Looks solid enough to me, the sentinels are an interesting choice.

You don't need two vanquishers for AT. Russes and LCs will take care of most things you run into quite nicely, though I'll echo what someone else said and suggest melta. Veterans in a Chimera with 3* meltaguns will ruin a land raider's day, more will do unspeakable horrors to them.

[Sammael]

The Standard Leman Russ is by far the best choice in the Codex. The other variants cost more, and just don't cut it for me. I give them 3 Heavy Bolters. The Battlecannon reigns supreme in my eyes. Melta guns are a great choice as mentioned. If you're really hurting for AT firepower, then drop the Sentinels and some infantry and bring a Vendetta Gunship or two. Flyer rules are nice, and they're packing more Lascannons than you can shake a Lascannon at! Twinlinked, too, which counters the BS3 problem of Guard.

it's an interesting list for sure but one that i think isnt really going to achieve a lot, from my own experience i would split the list down a bit...and take it in sections...start with the infantry now me i'd throw out the 2nd platoon you've built totally and replace it with 2 or 3 chimera mounted veteran squads with 3 meltaguns in each, the other large platoon again i'd split down and take more men 3 platoons of command plus 2 squads with autocannons or heavy bolters in the squads themselves and a heavy platoon with lascannons in each is more points effective in my experience....onto the armour i love the 3 sentinals but i'd make them a single choice and maybe add a second as for heavy support 3 squardons of 2 Leman Russ each is very effective rather than 1 of 3 and 1 of 2 it helps force your opponnent to divide their firepower more and sets up your own forces into focused rolls rather than the mixed way they are now.....good luck though and i hope you win many battles for the Imperium

Thanks for the input. Right now I'm running a list of 2 squads of 3 Leman russ and 1 squad with 3 basilks. I use three Chimeras with vets with the meltaguns. Plus other stuff.
