Well the 'Eavy weapons teams will be plinking off stuff, but I dont see anything objective claimy that would survive a space marine assault. Work on getting some Vendettas and Valks in there for faster movement and transport. What I would do is get a grip of birds and chimeras, hold them in reserve.

Then Id take some manticores/ tanks/basilisks and bombard them. Then just drop in the troops onto objective pts and kill the already softened opponents forces.

True enough but so far Ive fared well against any army ... all my units die in an assault but thats the point the SM assaults will kill off a squad and get shot dead in return by the rest of the army ..

As for taking objectives... I have the valkyrie that can transport a squad and 2 chimeras all in all loads of troop squads and I tend to shoot and run.. most of the troops just run even the missile squads usually run depends on the game.. anyways I find it really easy to get to the objectives .. either to contend or keep.. depends really a lot on terrain how the army fairs..

anyways just posted it here to give an alternative to everything else out there.. this a list that so far has won every game.. looking forward to a necron game to see how that goes..

Space marines tend to be the easiest, tau were hard, rest more or less easy so far.. played about 40 games now..

Ive chosen to go for the approach where i dont put tanks and big targets instead i have heck of a lot of squads that are cheap and doesnt matter if they get shot or killed.. the rest will return the favor.. strength in numbers that is..

anyways tnx for the feedback..

Your saying you've won 40 games with this list? Congrats, that's ridiculous haha. But if it works THAT well, don't change a thing.

Claiming to win 40 games really means nothing, as we do not know if your lying and who you have actually faced (playing kids who constantly make poor choices for example). Sorry, but this is the internet after all, so I will take claims like that with a grain of salt.

Your numbering system throws things off some, but I do feel it can be tweaked. I would take ACs over Missile Launchers any day of the week. I would take a Lord Commissar over the Primus to hang out near a cluster of HWSs and I would look at Creed so you can twin link a couple of those units. Otherwise it is really a standard gunline list... your just replacing your last two HWSs with Ratlings and a foot PBS.

I understand the mentality. Broken down, it is a hoard list, just hoard of shots over a hoard of Orks or Nids. Your real thing is your banking on opponents failing rolls and IG is a capable list at producing the effect. Eldar scatter laser list does the same thing, as well as other versions... pie plate lists, other IG Gunline, Space Wolves, Razor-spam, ect.

It is a different list that you normally see on the boards here, it can be effective, but it also has it's flaws. Just shows how good the IG Codex is with multiple ways of winning.

yeah i agree fully as i said i just posted it here to give an alternative to the many other lists people post.. and yeah ive played against random people m8s and so on.. and so far fared well I only gave the number of games aproximately im not counting but as a hoard gunline list the numbers have been on my side and proved useful.. so yeah.. creed seems too expensive for what you get for him imo.. and yeah the missile launchers could be changed for ACs i agree.. I havent done that because it was easy to use the missile launchers from the boxes and i didnt need to make wierd AC conversions or buy more heavy weapon boxes.. so maybe in the future ill change that..good point anyways..

and yeah ive played against morons and kids and many different people..all im saying is that in this list as an IG player the nrs have been on my side and so far the army has worked really really well.. thats it..

so yeah by all means..im only providing my list and how its worked out so far..I like the list because it gives a lot of shots/units and is hard for enemies to get to grips with..

and by all means im sure there are plenty of lists that are better and what not..

There's a lot of room for improvement in this list.

BlkTom brought up a lot of good points, and I agree completely. A Lord Commissar plus Creed will ensure your heavy weapon squads stick around and pass orders.

As for the rest of the list, Ratlings are a pretty poor unit. The only real reason I can see taking them is for a theme/fluff reason, and those 70pts are better spent elsewhere. Frankly, sniper rifles in general are a poor weapon choice, and I'd switch them for something more useful in every infantry squad. Namely, swapping every heavy bolter for autocannons (every single one!), and the snipers for at least GLs, or meltas or flamers. For a gunline though, stick to GLs, they match the autocannons nicely.

Now, the infantry squads are going to give up an unnecessary and unpleasant number of killpoints due to being 10 T3 5+ models with meh leadership. I highly recommend blobbing them (squads of 20 in each platoon) and give them a commissar so they actually stop an assault for more than 1-2 assault phases. I'd also recommend giving all the sergeants and commissars power swords so you can whittle down those pesky assaulters, but you'd have to find the points from somewhere (perhaps the lone sentinel that isn't doing a whole lot for your list).

All in all, I dislike IG gunlines because they're far too static, especially for 5th ed. A number of armies will be at your lines by T2 if not 1, and outflankers will show up exactly where you don't want them. Foot lists are fine, its the static gunline ones that have problems.

For the same points, I'd drop ALL the H Bolters in favor of ACs.
A second Vendetta would be a good addition.

That and everything BlkTom and Blacksails have mentioned.
