Hey guys, school is almost over and I want to start putting an IG force together for the summer. I hope to end up with a ~2000pt army with lots of armour, probably supported by drop troops. I want to get the ball rolling with some Combat Patrol games, so I put a few CP lists together. Please vote for the one you think would be most effective. Also, please explain your decision.

Thanks.

You need to be able to move. I know from experience.

I went with option 3. The BS of the Stormtroopers is really going to help in a small point game. Also the heavy weapons of the Chimeras will shine as well.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to use 2 stormtrooper squads in chimeras as the core, but I'd rather not buy sentinels. Is there a better way for me to spend the remaining 90 points? Anything I can do to improve my chances against ork combat patrols with 60 boys?
