Hey guys,

I'm finding a few secondhand deals of some IG models I like, and I'm thinking of just painting them for fun, but I'd like to be able to learn the game and maybe play a few times. I'm completely noob, but I've just read the list forum and parts of the codex/rules.
This means I'm aiming at 500pts just as an excuse to buy and collect a couple of models.

HQ:
CCS carapace armour: 73
Troop:
Vets + Heavy Flamer + 2xGrenade launcher: 80
Vets + 3xmelta: 90
Dedicated transport: Taurox: 50
Fast Attack:
Scout Sentinel: 35
Heavy Support:
Leman Russ Battle Tank: 150

Total: 478

So, I've got really no idea what I just did. I've just seen some other lists that start with cheap ccs + 2xvets in chimera/taurox and whatever they like. I don't know wether carapace armour is needed on the ccs, but I'd like to represent the veterans of the ccs with something else than cadians/catachans so I'd like to use scions but they wear carapace armour :/
If it's not really worth it I'll just ignore the scions wear it.

Now, should I pick LRBT or exterminator in this list, because I lack some infantry killing power I guess? Plasma weapons over HF/GL on the one squad for MEQ? What about the points I've got left, If I replace the carapace armour on the ccs, I've got room for another scout sentinel, but maybe a doctrine on the vets is more worth it?

The most important thing for me right now to kit out is the CCS, since I'd like to start collecting/building that unit first ^^
Thanks
