Renegade guard army list

[robomummy]

This list is mostly for fun but I would like to try to win with it. personally I think it is good but i need other opinions. its not too competitve where i am but people can get fairly competitive there so I need this to be good against a wide variety of armies.

Company command squad-147pts
-power weapon, bolt pistol, medi-pack, regimental standard. plasma gun, carapace armour, krak grenades

Master of ordinance-30pts

Primaris psyker-70pts

Veteran squad (x3)- heavy flamer, grenadiers- 120pts each
Veteran squad (x3) grenade launcher, grenadiers-105pts each

Medusa seige cannon (x3)- enclosed crew, heavy stubber- 160ptx each

Aegis defense line- 50pts

Total points- 1452

[Lanesend]

Well, It can certainly dish out some damage, but no vehicles to reach objectives?
I would expect some chimera's or maybe a valkyrie for those veterans.

[robomummy]

I might put in a chimera since i almost have the points for it. we usually play ahniahlation though at my LGS and this army is made to just sit and shoot. also I am trying to stick to the fluff of just a renegade PDF so large atillary coupled with infnatry.

Looking at the list i assume your running a gunline army. robomummy and lanesend both raise good points, i think that the master of ordinance is brillant fluff wise and his rules support that but you can't use his ability if the squad moves, and is terribly inaccurute. You always scatter the full 2D6 and if you roll an arrow you roll an additional D6 to the scatter. His ability is just a basilisk shot with worse accuracy, OTOH it is a cheap large blast, recommend for facing Orks and nids. (I'm an ex IG player btw)

Good luck

im familiar with the rules for master of ordinance and to be honest i get as much of a kick out of seeing that template scatter on my own units as much as my opponent. My list is generally a gunline list hiding behind fortifications while the enemy gets bombarded with 3 S10 blasts per turn as well as a basilisk. when they get too close that is what lasguns are for.

I just finished collectin 3000 points of orks and now I want to take a more defensive army. I am basing this army heavily on the seige of vraks like they are defending a chaos trench line.
