Heavy Support
Basilisk Heavy Flamer, camo netting 155

Total noob to this here so anything helps. thanks in advance

What points total is this list for?

You don't have anything to shoot at tanks, flyers and heavy infantry. How You will fight?

I'll give an advice for IG upgrades:
If it's not a weapon - don't take it.
If it's melee weapon - don't take it

Like i said really new to this thats why i shoved HKs on everything. What about shoving Lascannons on my Armoured sentinels?

Do you alrady have sentinel models? If not, don't buy them.
Why don't to try 5th edition classical mech :
CCS 4 plasma Chimera - 165
Veterans 3 melta Chimera - 155
Veterans 3 melta Chimera - 155
Veterans 3 flamer, demolition, Chimera - 170
Veterans 3 flamer, demolition - 115
Vendetta with HB - 140
Hydra with camo netting - 95

Total 1000 pts

If don't want Vendetta try some artilery

Take one meltagun and copy it using greenstuff or epoxid or metal ot whatever

That list sounds pretty mean but I already have all the models built up and everything in the list is exactly what i have. So the best thing is to just go out and buy a decent amount of meltas?

Sentinels are too fragile and they don't have enough firepower for their high point costs. Even empty Chimera is better.
There are many units to avoid: Priest, Tech-enginseer, ogryns, penal legion, special weapon squad, sentinels, rough riders, mortars, some Leman Russ versionsand in most builds lord comissar

I'd also say that if you have 40-ish guardsmen, you'd be better off and more flexible having a 30-man infantry squad and a veteran squad (preferably in a chimera). The big blob can sit on a near objective and dare enemies to pour fire into it. If you have a commissar or inquisitor in there, they'll never wipe it out and the blob will never flee. Then you can use the vets for special missions like taking out tanks with melta or whatever and then you can sit them on an objective a few turns into the game.

While sentinels are rather fragile, you shouldn't count them out just yet. A trio of scouts with heavy flamers outflanking into infantry is nothing to sneer at. Also, outfitting them with multi lasers and doing the same thing makes for a few popped transports.
