as some of you may know, its been a tough time for the boys of the 349th AF(R). long strings of bad losses, even in scenarios i wrote myself to "go easy" on the lads. i got tabled more times than an ex girlfriend i had (and by tabled I mean fucked in a snooker table by two guys she didnt know) and essentially thats how i felt most battles, like i had been fucked in every hole buy two greek waiters circumcised members.
what made it worse was every forum claims Imperial Guard are like some kind of super army for power gamers, the ultimate competition army.

so there i was, apparently with the hardest army, getting all kinds of battered. so i looked at these "leafblower" lists and compared them to mine. i noticed i was sort of wasting half my points by having a gunline AND a chimera assault section. it seems you either have a gunline or a hard hitting chimera force. i was also not putting down Russes as much as i should...
pictured: my new list
and when i did i was using all the wrong varients (punisher). sometimes i didnt take any Heavy Support choices at all. i was so in love with my valkyries and my vulture... and they just wern't getting results (except the Vendetta but even that has been erratic recently). What IS getting results is from what used to be my least favourite tank, the Basilisk. i have also had great results with the Manticore.
so, out go the gunline veteran squads, the command squad sat at the back of the board sniping with a las-cannon now and again. the vulture, the ratlings, the sniper squads all gone.
so now, in effect, the fluff is long gone and the cheesy "leafblower" list is in. i dont want to over power everyone, and i want to keep a bit of fluff, but i want to win now and again.... but the sad fact is since i have re-booted the list i have really had some ass kicking results.
whats a fat man to do...??????
