Inquisitor Lord w/ CCW and bolt pistol. Emperor's tarot, Psychic hood.
3 Mystic for the henchmen.

Elites:
Assassin: Callidus

10 Hardened Vet. w/ 3 plasma guns and heavy bolter. Doctrine: Drop troops.

Troops:

Infantry Platoon:
Command squad w/ Junior Officer. 4 Guardsmen w/ 4 Flamers. Doctrine: Drop troops.
2 Infantry squads w/ plasma gun and lascannon.

Infantry Platoon:
Command squad w/ Junior Officer. 4 Guardsmen w/ 4 Flamers. Doctrine: Drop troops.
2 Infantry squads w/ Grenade launcher and Missile launcher. Doctrine: Light Infantry.

Heavy Support:

Anti-tank squad w/ Missile launchers. Doctrine: Light Infantry.

I'm using 5 Doctrines for this Army. Special weapons, Drop Troops, Light Infantry, Veterans, and Heavy Weapons.

All comments are welcome and would be most appreciated. This is my first IG army. And I would like to know it's strength and weakness.

one comment. wow.

Only thing I can find wrong is the lack of counter charge. Those drop troops could end up providing an assualt 'ladder' where an enemy can charge, assault, and consolidate closer to your back lines...

Why 10 and a heavy weapon? Face it--if they're dropping in, they won't live to see the use of the heavy weapon and chances are they become points wasted. Minimal squads are as popular as they are for a reason.

The rest looks O.K. if a bit underpowered. You have plenty of anti-skimmer capability, but only two lascannons. I think you should reconsider some of the points spent on your heavy bolter support squads. You already have massive numbers of template weapons--infantry will be little problem for you. Try and arrange for one or two more lascannon support squads.

Thanks for giving me your input. I will be revamping the list here in the next few days.

Looks good, I'd recommend you put drop troops and light infantry on everything you can. This gives you an advantage when deploying--even if YOU know exactly where everything is going to go, if your opponent doesn't...

By the way, if you fielded 10 hardened vets I daresay it would be the first full strength hardened vet squad ever used. lol

Drop troops is *free* by the way. So click it onto everyone! You'd be surprised how effective it is, being able to drop or infiltrate your entire army.

Sorry, did I mention DS+Inf=FTW? =D
