Hey,

In the spirit of Adepticon I've been thinking about making a small 1,000 point IG army following the rules for teams (I would use the layout: 1HQ, 1-3 troops, 0-1 elite and heavy, 0-2 fast.) . I normally play blob IG, so I thought I would go with something different.
Please tell me what you think!

Here goes!

HQ: Command Squad, astropath, autocannon 90

Troops:
Platoon 1
command squad, pf, 3 melta-75
2x infantry squads, melta, -120
2x infantry squads, GL, Autocannon-130
3x heavy weapon squads, autocannons-225

Fast:
Valkyrie-100

2x Vendetta Gunships-260

The platoon command, and melta squads would ride around in the fliers, the astropath is there in case they decide to outflank. They will also be used to contest and take forward objectives. The other squads will make a firebase, unleashing 12 autocannons a turn. Do I need more mobile elements?

I was thinking about trying to find points for a Techpriest Enginseer, would he be useful?
What do you all think!

Its an okay list, just your missing a 2nd Troop Choice (you only have 1 platoon and they count as a single troop choice)

I'd propably take the autocannon out the the infanty squads, and take 2 platoons

Platoon 1

PCS 4 Melta - 60
2 Infantry Squads w Melta 120
2 HWS Auto Cannons 150

Platoon 2

PCS w 4 Plasma - 90
2 Infantry Squads w Grenade Launcher 110

Troop Total - 530

That fufills your min of 2 troop choices.

You propably dont need a techpriest engineer because you are that tank heavy (infact you only have skimmers)

also i'd swap the AutoCannons on the ccs with 3 Plasma or if you can fit it in 4 plasma.

So its an okay list but you need another troop choice.

I am allowed to have 1-3 troops, rather that 2-6.

so plasma is better than autocannon spam?
