Hey all!

I'm slowly building up my small 500pt steel legion list up to a 1000pt army, and had the following in mind as a stopping point. I appreciate I'm going against the received wisdom with some of these choices (mostly due to the constraints of the older metal models, which most of mine are down to the Kasrskin stormtroopers!) so any advice is much appreciated. I'll mostly be playing against Orks, Necrons and Dark Angels in a casual setting.

[HQ]
Lord Commissar, 75pts
Emperor's Benediction, Carapace Armour

[Elites]
Militarum Tempestus Scions x 10, 140pts
Flamer, Grenade Launcher

[Troops]
Veterans, 86pts
Forward Sentries, 3 x Sniper Rifles, Autocannon

Infantry Platoon, 365pts

PCS, 95pts
Chimera

Infantry Squad, 135pts
Chimera, Grenade Launcher, Missile Launcher

Infantry Squad, 135pts
Chimera, Grenade Launcher, Missile Launcher

[Fast Attack]
Armoured Sentinel, 60pts
Lascannon, Hunter-Killer Missile

Hellhound, 125pts

[Heavy Support]
Leman Russ Exterminator, 145pts
Lascannon, Heavy Bolter Sponsons

The general plan is have the armoured infantry platoon move up with the Hellhound and Sentinel to steal objectives while the slower elements sit back and hold the deployment zone. The stormtroopers (with attached Commissar Lord) are there for deep-striking in to troubleshoot or grabbing back field objectives.
