I`ve been out of 40k since 7th edition dropped.
Considering testing some 40k again now, but I can hardly claim to have followed the game much over the last three editions.

Made up a 1000pts list to test the game again, with IG. Holy moly power creep batman! These guys look insane. Free upgrades for everyone, 5 wound IG heroes, lots of special weapons even for troop squads, S10 D6 hunter killers, insane buff possibilities and special rules for everyone!

Guessing everyone else are also buffed to this level. Please tell me if it will work out alright in this age. Feels like this is an insane level of firepower for 1000pts, with plenty of bodies too. I`ve maybe leant a bit much into anti-tank / MEQ here?

HQ -
Ursula Creed, warlord
Death Rider Commander, bolt pistol, pw. Relic: Graf armour / Desert Sword

Troops -
3x Cadian shock troop squad, drum autogun, 2xplasma, vox
3x DKK squad, plasma, 2x melta, boltgun

Elite -
2x Kasrkin squad, 2x plasma, 2x melta, meltabomb, vox, hotshot sniper rifle, heirloom weapons, trophy hunters

Fast -
2x Armoured Sentinel, lascannon, hunter killer
2x Scout Sentinel, heavy flamer, hunter killer, chain saws

Heavy -
Heavy weapons squad, mortars

Thanks for the input.

Maybe something like this then:
Armoured Superiority, Hierloom weapons (it works on flamers too from what I see?)
- industrial efficiency is maybe a better choice than hierloom for armor heavy lists?

HQ
1x Tank Commander, heavy flamer sponsons, lascannon, HK missile, gate keeper, armoured tracks, warlord, lead by example
1x Cadian Castellan, pw

Troops -
3x Cadian shock troops, vox, drum autogun, plasma x2 (swap 1 for melta if it is FAQed)

Elite -
1x Kasrkin, 2x plasma, 2x melta, meltabomb, vox, barbicants key, trophy hunters (is it allowed to pick this for the Kasrkin extra doctrine?)

Fast -
2x Armoured sentinel, plasma cannon, HK
1x Scout sentinel, heavy flamer

Heavy -
Leman Russ, executioner, lascannon, heavy flamer sponsons, dozer blade
Leman Russ, executioner, lascannon, heavy flamer sponsons, dozer blade

Master vox sounds good. Also looks like the tank commander can't be the warlord if the castellan is in the list, so it fixes that issue as well if I bring the command squad instead.
