Gonna need some details.

Against infantry: Lots of weapons that maximise spread and potential wounds. i.e. blast weaponry. You really only need AP 5 or 4 to pierce most of what they'll have.

Against tanks/motorized: shit that can pierce and not be very bunched up. Lascannon teams are pretty good for this as they're low point cost so it matters less if they blow a single one up.

You basically are gonna want to take the opposite approach as they do.

If they are an Infantry heavy army, then take Mechanized list with lots or templates and anti-infantry weapons. Hellhounds and LRBTs are pretty much all you need, as they will mow through IG lines like grass. Use your own infantry to screen and pick off heavy weapons teams.

Against a mechanized army take a Infantry army. Lots of base squads to slow down their tanks and spam fire against their sides. Then use Lascannon heavy teams and other high AP weapons to pcik off their tanks one by one while your infantry marches forwards in loose ranks.

meltas.
as many as possible

Flamers on your assault teams and heavy bolters on your fire support teams. Autocannons on your Chimeras and lascannons on your Sentinels. I feel like the heavy artillery and armor will mostly go to waste - two Hellhounds will usually put out more wounds per turn for the same amount of points as a single Russ.

If you have a chance to tailor your list, do it. Bring more lascannons against an Armored Company, more autocannons against a mechanized list, and more flamers against blob infantry. Your real money makers are going to be the weapons that ignore 5+ or 4+ saves, and that cause Instant Death on T3 targets.

Start by not being a fucking traitor.

What if the traitors are the ones you're fighting.
Or what if the people you're fighting are good men, but their commander is a traitor.

Or what if it's a mistake understanding but both sides have their orders to kill the others.

>What's a good choice

Old school is best school: Resolve not to be an uptight tailored netlist 4chan cunt and instead relax and have some larfs with a few mates.

GUN LINES, go full napoleonic. Tanks are for girls and faggots

In all those situations there is still a fucking traitor involved.
