Hi all!

Im looking to start playing 40k, currently I’ve just been building a painting in my free time and haven’t played a game since I was a teenager. I like the fluff and colour scheme of imperial fists and already have a few units with them.

Currently I have the following fully painted:
20 tacticals,
3 Centurion Devastators magnetised
Razorback
Rhino
Devastor squad 4x missile launchers


I’m looking for a list that’s fluffy and fun to play chilled games with that’s not super weak. From a modelling point of view I’d like some flying units and I like heavier units like centurions/Dreadnoughts a bit more than tanks.

Suggestions wise, any advice on how to turn this into a decent list and advice on wargear and HQ would be great as I know nothing in terms of the game just what I think looks cool haha. I created my list via BattleScribe so might be some mistakes. My other list idea involves a few predictors, less troops and some storm talon gunships.
