Help needed in 1000 point Guard List

I am playing a Guard army in a campaign and facing roughly 1250 points of Sisters, probably with 3 x Exorcists.

I have only 1000 points to play with a limited Slots - 2 x HQ, 1 x Elite, 1 x Fast, 2 x Heavy.

I have been playing
1 x Storm troopers, 2 x Melta Vets in Chimeras, 2 x Vendettas (1 Sqn), 2 x Hydras (1 Sqn) and a Psycher.

Any suggestions to improve this list gratefully received.

Thanks

In this case, since you can't take more warm bodies, you will need some cold steel. So some extra armour is the way to go!

the codex says u can have three lemun russes (of any sort) as a single troops choice

what i would do is get rid of the hydras (sobs dont have aircraft yet) and add more tanks like the one with the big plasma gun (exiocutioner?)

and weath havoc through the sisters lines with amoured thrusts.

cheers

I'm not too sure on that. Yes they can be squadrons of three, but as a heavy support choice. You can only have them as troops in a different army list (forgotten its name), not Codex IG.

List looks decent enough. Although I would split the Vendettas so that multi exorist missiles can't down them both at the same time. Offers you more freedom too of movement.

Thanks for the tips.

I can't split the Vendettas as I can only include one Fast choice in my Army in the campaign at present.

A Tank and possibly Marbo may get squeezed in...

Well

Had the battle and lost...

Took Marbo who made double his points back.
Also 2 x LR basics which both got taken out in Assault - Evicerator took care of one easily.
Playning against 2 x Exorcists which took care of the Vendetta and 3 x Rhinos with meltas and flamers.

Managed to take out 5 kill points but got thrashed in the end.
