Aegis Defence Line:

Plan is to place the Manticore and maybe Hydra in side the defence line. Man the quad gun with the ratlings. Now, if I understand right, anything inside the Aegis defence line gets a 4+ cover save. Now the camo netting gives the manticore a 3+ and the ratlings with also get a 3+ due to stealth. The plasma vets can ride with Yarrick, or, possibly man the guad gun instead of the ratlings (and place them elsewhere).

Just a fun list and seems to cover alot of ground for an all comers list at 1500 points.

Yarrick, by himself in a Chimera, seems to not only violate IG fluff but also makes him a waste of points. He's overpriced to begin with, the best bang for your buck with Yarrick is to put him with a squad (blob preferably) and make them a Fearless and actual force to be reckoned with in assault (reroll fail to hit rolls in assault).

Since you said "casual" I won't go in thorough detail about my thoughts on Manticores. If anything, they're fun.

Only real weakness is your lack of scoring units. Sure, you have 3 squads of vets. However, only 1 squad has Caraspace (Once I pop those 2 chimeras those vets are going down fast). If I was playing this I would let the LR's take their pies while I popped your chimera's first turn. This kills your mobility and gives me the upper hand in Obj grabbing. Overall any IG army with this much Armor is fun though.

You have to drop Yarrick unless you plan on using his squad boosting abilities. He's just such a points sink already..

GL & HF!

He doesn't offer much to a list like this.

I would opt for a regular HQ squad to get some cool benefits and see what else you could do with leftover points for Sentinels.
