I basically ran into some money and bought a big chunk of IG for discount.

I have another, say.. £100 to spend on anything else I need to make it a effective 1500-1850 list.

I currently own:

42 Veterans/Infantry
10 Storm troopers
Command Squad
Creed
Primaris Psyker
6 Sanctioned Psykers
1 Heavy weapon squad
3 Chimera's
1 Vendetta
2 Leman Russ tanks

Im basically asking for a list that is somewhat ok with the troops I have. I would do it myself but I don't really know anything about IG.

Let me know what models would be a great add on.

Edit: Misspelt storm troopers.

Just a rough guide I would make a list something like this ignoring points and wargear for now
HQ
Company Command Squad
-Chimera

Elite
Psyker Battle Squad (Primus & 6 sanctioned Psykers)
-Chimera

Troop
Veteran Squad
-Chimera

Veteran Squad (In Vandetta)

Veteran Squad (With heavy Weapon)

Veteran Squad (with heavy Weapon)

Fast attack
Vandetta

Heavy Support
Leman Russ

Leman Russ

Johnson101 has the gist of it basically.

Changes I'd make:

Chimera's for the last two Veteran squads, they're not foot-sloggers with that BS4, you need to give them special weapons and run around causing damage in that sexy AV12 the Chimera brings.

So:


HQ
CCS with metla/plasmas in a Chimera

Elite (Not sure by what you mean 'Shock Troopers', I'm assuming you're referring to the Storm Troopers)

Two five man squads with two special weapons a piece, deep strike or infiltrate them in.

or

Psyker Battle Squad in a Chimera

Troops
Three to six Veteran squads in Chimeras with maxed out special weapons. (This is dependent on whether or not you want to use that last 100 bucks on some more transports.)

Fast Attack
Vendetta

Vendetta (If you want to procure a second one)

Heavy Support
Leman Russ Exterminator

Leman Russ Exterminator

(Note: Leman Russ variants are totally up to what you feel your army needs to round it out. They traditionally fill a specific roll; anti-tank/MC, anti horde, anti MEQ, etc. So you'll want to take the time to figure out what your army needs.

Thank you both. I have an idea from what you guys have said, Ill write up a list and post it in this thread and tell me about improvements etc

I was thinking about making the storm troops a squad of 10 and finding enough points to add a priest.
