Ok, heres the deal, i love the IG models but dont have the codex or any models from them, but i love the tanks, especially the basilisk.
could anyone build be a list with heaps of tanks, 3 basilisks please. I beg of you

Here's my first thoughts on this

Camoline, lightinfantry,I.D. , Drop, Vet

Hvys 3 Basilisks W/ ID Fire 375
Fasts 3 Hell Hounds 345
Elites 3x 5man Vet Melta Squads 225


HQ Command Squad
Boler for both Officer and Bearer
JO w/ Honorfic
Standard
Camo, I.D.

2x Hvy Bolter Squad

J.O.
I.d. Light Infantry, Plasma x4, Bolter for J.o.
camo

2x LineSquad,camo,Light Infantry, plasma
LineSquad, Camo, Light Infantry, flamer


JO
I.D., Camo, AC

4x line squad w/ AC, camo, 85

total 2000

Tactics are to break into 2 teams, Basilisks form the base of the fire support team. 2nd Platoon hangs around deployment zone objectives with the officer and the Artillery. Hellhounds form the forward support group. They and the light platoon advance forward utilizing cover where ever possible. Also, depending on mission and objective 1st platoon can out flank or DS with the obvious Melta Vets. Bigest issue will be 3x LR lists.

I use 3 basilisks, but I usually use sentinels and rough riders too. Here's my list replacing those last two with Hellhounds. You get: 2 chimeras, 2 hellhounds, 3 basilisks. You could do more vehicles, but I think this list is somewhat competitive.

You can also find the Armored Company list here:

You could make a Artie Company from that list.

Sphynx,
you are a god sent, altho they dont have basi's in them i love it, so many lovely tanks, thankyou so much!!!!!
I would love to see other peoples ideas on this list and if i could slit a basi's or 3 in

Why doesn't anybody put powerweapons on their officers? They are very cheap and add hitting power.

Edit:Removed serious because S3 A3-4 is not serious.
