I haven't really tested out the new IG dex since it's been out. I attempted to play a team game tonight with friends and this is the list I took. Any way I could change this to make it more competitive? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HQ is good.

I'd recommend dropping the heavy flamer in the PCS for a normal one, heavy isn't really that much better and 15 points is quite a bit.

Infantry is good. How did those autocannon squads do for you? I've always thought of HWS' as being too vulnerable (moreso now that they're your only units on foot besides the ratlings), so don't hesitate to drop those if you weren't satisfied with them. I personally would drop them - for 150 points you can get something nice form Fast Attack.

Vets really should have melta - you have nothing in this list that'll harm AV14. Russ spams, Land Raiders, and Battlewagon spams will be near-unbeatable because of that.

Drop the ratlings, they're not really that great.

Heavy support is okay.

That frees up 75 points - enough to either a 4th Hydra or Marbo and something else.

Hey bro good to see you posting lists again. Great game last night, just a heads up: list squads and all upgrades with just a total points cost, listing any specific costs is a no no that makes GW cranky.

My input is that your AC teams did a pretty good job of it since they were in cover, but as I've told you melta vets is the way to go. But as a note due to it being a team game he built that list based on that fact.
