Hello guys, I am currently looking to build an IG army (Using IG Codex but with DKoK models! ). What do you guys think of this list I have put together? Any comments/criticisms are more than welcome. Thanks.

It looks like you put the Commissar in with the PCS. When you blob the the Platoon together the PCS does not join the infantry squads. The infantry squads can only blob with themselves. The commissar is being attached to a 5 man squad that can be shot to hell or assaulted and they wont even get a chance to attack.

Put the Commissar with the Infantry squads.

Also you dont have much to deal with heavy anti tank. The vanq cannon only hits half of the time and the vendettas lascannons still need 6's to pen av14. LRBT's can only glance av14.

You also lack ap2 to deal with terminators and anything with a 2+ save.

I would:
1) drop vox
2) drop melta guns
3) take power axes and melta bombs on your sergeants

Otherwise it looks good!

Okay thanks for the advice with the commissar, still getting used to the placement of people with this platoon thing.
Any suggestions for some tweaks to get AV14 and AP2?

Also, should I replace those meltas with more flamers?

Leman russ demolishers have short range but have great armor and their main cannon is s10 ap2 ordnance.

The executioner costs a bit but is also good armor and has 3 small plasma blasts that dont get hot.

I would include either of those tanks to add ap2

LRBT's are great tanks and they arent terrible but 150pts for some cheap av14 and a large blast at s8 ap3 can make your opponent spread out and slow them down by making them hug cover.

Thanks for the advice, I will make a few tweaks
