This is the list I've been tinkering with for my IG's debut in my buddies' campaign. There are a few things I'm still trying to work out, like just what units should go in what vehicles, but I'm open to tweaks regarding most of the list.

HEAVY SUPPORT

Leman Russ Executioner + Plasma Cannon sponsons + Lascannon
Leman Russ MBT + HB sponsons

Any suggestions? Is there something I'm missing or overlooked?

Would switch plasma pistol in CCS into another plasma gun. Maybe drop a russ for more chimeras

How come you're taking 3 plasma guns and a pistol? Just make it 4 plasma guns for same points.

Rest looks ok, but you don't need lascannon on Executioner. You don't want a tank costing nearly Land Raider points. You don't need heavy bolter sponsons on the Russ either.

Only 1 problem with dropping the Plasma pistol for a P gun in the CCS, it costs five points more and would put me exactly five points over 2K :(. I have considered swapping the P. Pistol for a melta (ugh, more conversion work...) in the squad though, I know it lacks the same beautiful synergy as 4 plasma but I think it would be more effective than the pistol.

As for dropping a Russ for more chimera, if I dropped the LRBT I could add three more chimera and the above plasma gun upgrade but at that point aren't I going to be just shoveling kill points towards my opponent (I know I'm kind of KP heavy as is...)? Is it really ok to run an IG list with just one LR?

Dropping the executioner's lascannon, I'm not opposed to it, I know lascannons on a BS3 platforms are ridiculously overpriced, I was just curious as to what else to spend the points on (besides the aforementioned P gunner upgrade).
