So, I keep having this recurring day dream where I'm fielding 30 Sternguard. I've posted a list for 2K and had moderate success with it in gaming groups. However, I'm curious to know if fielding a list with these guys maxing out the Elites slot is cheesy or not. I don't care for any of the other Elites options despite the fact that I like them in certain ways that are entirely situational. After playing a number of games, I've come to the conclusion that I like having a lot of infantry on the field and my ideal army collection would look something like the following;
Pedro Kantor
Honour Guard
Captain
Command Squad
Chaplain
Librarian
5 ten man Tactical Squads
Sniper Scout Squad
3 ten man Sternguard
3 Stormtalons
Stormraven
Landraider Crusader
2Predator
2Vindicator
And using those to build a list of various points when need be. However, I wondering if for the points paid to have Sternguard, is it fun for an opponent to play against 30, or am I being unrealistic? Infantry seems to be my unit type of choice and I like the idea of bullets flying everywhere.
But, in a scene where things are fairly dominated by Helldrakes, Wraith-dar, and various other types it seems like a decent and solid unit for an auto-include on my lists.
Any C&C would be appreciated on this topic as I'm currently mixed on what to think.
