I still need to paint up some boyz as Blood Axes before I proxy them. this thread is to get feedback on the IG blob and how to complement the boyz best at 2k points. Here's what I have so far:

Primary (just under 1400 points):

2 MAB
2 mobs of 10 Lootas
2 mobs of 18 Boyz/Nob
2 Red Deffrolla Battlewagons
Void Relay Network: 2 Generators, 3 Shields each

Allies (340-700 points):

CCS - Kamo, Vox, Medipack, Banner, 2 Meltas, Master of Ordinance
Primerus - 1 or 2 with the Level 2 upgrade, mostly there for Divination rerolls

Platoon:
PCS - Vox, Medipack, 2 Meltas
Infantry (2-5) - Vox, Grenade Launcher
Heavy - 3 Rocket Launchers (I don't think I'll need autocannons when I got Lootas)
Special (0-2) - 3 Snipers

The points cost for the Allies range from CCS + Minimum Platoon all the way to include every bell and whistle. I can fill in any extra points I have with Grots or Conscripts for cheap scoring units. The plan is to sit the platoon behind the VRN for a 3+/4+ cover save and 6 AV12 shells. They exist to provide long range shooty to offset the short range shooty/choppy of the boyz. I opted to not take any Commissars, Heirlooms, Flamers, or fancy Pistols in the platoon because their weight of fire should be able to handle any deepstrikes or drop pots that my opponent will bring.

Thoughts? Ideas? I have only looked at the new IG codex (and analysis) but have not played any games.
