I like how this sounds for fluff what do yall think ?

Company HQ Iron Hand, Medic, 3 Meltas, 2 bodyguards,carapace.

5 Penal Legion squads

5 Priests Eviserators

Rambo(marbo)

Platoon command 4 meltas

5 squads of Autocannons

2 Speical Weapon 2 flamers 1 demo

Storm Troopers squad with 2 more guys or 2 Plasma.

1 Death Strike

It is kinda for fluff but what is yall's thoughts.

What do yall think.

Shameful bump.

What is yall's ideas how to make this list funcitonal and do good ?

I do want to keep the Penal Legion horde though.

I like the penal legions, and the priests help get those re-rolls to hit in there, but you could probably do with only 2-3 of the priests. Considering you want to screen troops in front of Iron Hand, but keep him near the front lines, you could easily have his 12" bubble effect 2 squads or so.

And I'm assuming that the general tactic is to have the autocannon squads cover the legions advance into CC correct?
If you change the layout to have about 3 infantry squads with autocannon teams incorporated, you could ensure the survivability of the autocannons a little longer.

That or make some of those legion squads/infantry squads into veterans with the Demolitions doctrine. Demo charge and meltabombs are wonderful anti-tank in close combat

K I do like the sound of that. I think I will drop 2 of the preist. I like demolitons but I'm not sold on one demo charge and melta bombs but I do get what your thinking.

The List Idea is the Penal Legion go forward and the Guards watch over them and provide support to them.

Not sure how would you do the list then ?
I wana keep the Death strike for the fact that if the Penal Legion fail there is a back up...fluffy.
