Ok like some players i have trouble against gunlines and ig are really no different. My usual play style is havocs or obliterators cheap lord and csm in rhinos, i know this usually fails against them so i did attempt to redesign my list for something more aggressive. Any suggestions that don't require drake spam or fiends or noise marine. the idea is to hold my raptors and oblits in ds reserve while my bezerker bus plows forward into the blob of ig. cultists are essentially going to hide in whatever place they can bunch up together without being seen or hit by barrage.

You need to start those Oblits on the board if you get first turn, alternating between Lascannon and Autocannon in order to crack his ~20 Chimeras and fliers. Two drakes didn't help me, so I won't suggest them here.

As CSM vs. IG, oddly enough the more we have deployed, the better we do. This prevents them from focus firing our units while our powerful ones *might* arrive from Reserve.

This list is better than what I used against IG recently, and it's been demolishing stuff. I had to go by turn 5, but I was being tabled at that point so he certainly won! Good luck, but you won't need it because blood for the blood god.

Negative! Obliterators get assault cannons not autocannons unless i am unaware of an errata.

the big whole in most ig playes list is ranged anti armor as well as any way to deal with deep striking anything really but especially melee. if the ig doesn't take hydras skimmers can be really hard for them to take down. for that matter if they don't take hydras any air unit typically does well. If they have dedicated ranged anti armor it typically comes in the form of vendettas, whcih are fairly easy to counter, heavy weapons teams also fairly easy to counter, basalisks tougher to counter due to extreme range and plasma lemun russes if you don't destroy these things asap they can table whole armies almsot of their own accord.

Anything template destroys guards. going nurgle would probably be the best anti-imperial guard.
