Hey all, here's my idea for a pretty competitive guard list. Core is chimera vets with a pair of errants holding forth in the middle of the field. Eradicators and hellhound shove people out of cover and into the knights, autocannons, and chimeras.

Tank Commander 30
• Leman Russ Eradicator: sponson heavy bolters 140

-I don't know if autocannons are the way to go on the vets
-No anti-flier
-Despite the knights, I'm not sure how good I am at assault
-Not much ignores cover

Cut the hellhound for icarus cannons on the knights plus flamers and carapace on the vets?
Cut the HH for an aegis line with quad gun?
Cut the russes for 2 wyverns, a command squad, and an aegis line with quad gun?
Avenger cannons on the warden are super sexy, are they better than the melta cannons on the errant?

I think it would benefit you to drop the HH and throw meltas in the vet squads and make the knights into paladins, they're the most versatile. That way you cover basically everything but fliers, and I don't think they'll give you much trouble anyways. I'm actually a huge fan of this list, makes me want to whip out my IG for a game
