Here is a list I have put together for a 2k guard army. Basically follows the blitzkrieg strategy of hitting hard with tanks and following up seizure of objectives by motorised infantry. Was going to give this a “Wehrmacht”-esque aesthetic so that works out. Any suggestions?

For 2k it does seem very light on infantry. Perhaps consider dropping one of the RGs to fit some more support elsewhere?

Also I'd be very careful going for a Wehrmacht look. Some players may take offence, some may not care, but I've heard some say that doing so makes you a Nazi as well. Just something to keep in mind.

I mostly mean the tanks are going to look like panzers and tigers, since I found some nice models from Grim Prints that fit the bill.

Okay, here’s a revised list. In short, I pulled 1 Dorn, the HWT, and a single chimera, in addition to combining the two 10-man infantry squads into a single blob and giving them each 2 heavy bolted teams. I added a field ordinance battery to shoot stuff hiding behind cover and two 10-man scion squads to act as stormtroopers to ride up to objectives to seize them while the two blobs bring up the rear to hold them.
