So the idea was just to literally drive towards the enemy, shooting twice with turrets and than legit charge into combat.

 

I put flamers so I dont get locked in combat with my blast weapons unable to shoot, also overwatch is great with flamers. Since my plan was to get really close, this worked great. Also I erased all his vehicles turn 1.

 

The guards were there to sit behind and hug the objectives, while Chimeras were there to follow the tanks and clear objectives (with 2 flamer squads).

 

I love the list, but I fought only Necrons and only once with it so I dont know if it would work as a general list.
