I'm a new IG player and haven't played since 4th. Looking for some serious feedback for my tourney list. It's semi-themed, but trying to make it as competitive as possible. Here we go:

HQ
Lord Commisar w/ melta bombs, power fist

CCS w/ Astropath, Master of Ordnance, Vox

Troops
PCS w/ Lascannon, Vox
Infantry Sqaud 1 w/ melta bombs, plasma gun, lascannon
Infantry Squad 2 w/ melta bombs, power axe, plasma gun, lascannon
Infantry Squad 3 w/ melta bombs, power axe, plasma gun, lascannon, vox

Veteran Squad w/ 3 melta guns
Transport: Chimera w/ heavy flamer

Veteran Squad w/ 3 plasma guns
Veteran Sergeant w/ 2 plasma pistols
Transport: Chimera w/ Heavy Bolter

Fast Attack
Vendetta x 3

Heavy Support
Colossus x 3

Fortifications
Aegis Defense Line w/ Quad Cannon

Blob up the platoon behind the defense line with the CCS.
Place objectives within the platoon (I experimented, even with the 12" in between rule - you can concievably make a 12" triangle of objectives even if you have 3 that just your one platoon can cover).
Commie goes to the quad cannon (junior officer by it as back-up).
Shell the crap out of opponent controlled objectives
Astropath helps the vendettas come in when/where I need them to blow armor
Vets to protect the flanks, linebreak, add utility, etc.

So what do y'all think?

I think with the blob you only have two troop units (in fact only two units) to advance and threaten any other objectives and they're not that great.

The three flyers may catch a few people out. But against a horde they don't put out enough shots and other assaulty armies would probably be able to ignore them.

The Colossus are all heavy support eggs in one basket. WIth the troops comitted to the Aegis if anything nasty gets near the colussus they they will be toast.

Err - More troops please, break the blob up a bit. More chimeras, alter the heavy support or put some into the troop selection; possibly switch one of the flyers for a valkerie with large template weapons. Is what I think.

Drop the lord commisar. He is an easy kill point. You can just put a commisar in 1 infantry squad and they gain stubborn. List seems ok but more infantry is always good for IG. I sort of disagree though with you jasper as in an objective mission he can simply not blob and have more units advance using the vehicles for cover.

Can he put an infantry squad in a vendetta? Probably not right? I am not too familiar with all the guard transport rules.
