Hey guys, I've been refining my IG force through both previous army threads and my own experience playing it. The main goal of this force is to utilize Straken's auras and create an army that moves in one solid unit. To that goal, I've been trying to focus the army's directions to the best of my abilities, so again I request any advice anyone has on its current standing.

I'm trying to decide if I would have more success forgoing the large blob squad and Straken, and moving towards a more mobile force. This army constitutes my entire grand IG force, so what doesn't make it into this list will most like be sold off. As far as units that aren't in the list but are readily available to be added, I have a 5-man squad of Ogryns, a Commissar Lord, 3 Autocannon teams, and 3 Mortar teams. I'd like to hear what you guys think.

I cant recall the price on the autocannon teams, but I'd definitely wind up taking them wanna say its like 70 pts? which is the sentinel + 1 psyker

75 pts for the squad i think

Here's my alternative list, which takes advantage of some of the elements I currently own. I've had great success tying up units with the armored sentinel, so I stick by its presence in the army. I'm trying to see if this list will be an effective all-comers list with some sleeper-units in the form of the ogryns and 10 rough riders.
