Thoughts?

The Aquilons are the Kill Team I'm building, and I already own Sly Marbo and the Valkyrie...

I was unsure of how to continue to build the army out. I haven't played IG since 5th.

On 500 points it's look great, you have AT transport, ability to relocate units using aerial extraction(virtually all your units including marbo if he in valk), good enought anti infantry capability, and marbo with his precision 2+ anti-infantry 2+ with rerolls of 1 from only the best to remove characters.

You can add krieg/cadians for actions and screening, few tanks of choice, castelan/creed if you ran cadians. Scout sentinel, some armored. Chimeras I'd you ran mechanized list. Generally I don't think something changed drastically from 5th.

My conversion issue is that my Aquilons are made up of Kasrkin torsos and legs with Aquilon Grav Chutes and Arms/Weapons.

This means I can't use Kasrkin in the list as they would be confusing... but I was wondering how to build regular Scions.

When I build to 750 and beyond, I wanted to add some Scions (as Dismounted infantry) and Sentinels.

Is it possible to build an IG force without tanks? Or is it going to be a waste of money?

(I'm not going to use Catachan ((outside of Sly)) or Krieg models... just not a huge fan of them.)

Haha, then you're in the same trap as me. Theoretically we can field sentinels, lots of sentinels, armored to hunt enemy's tanks and scout for bonus. They have regiment keyword so you can gives them orders without tank commander or Leontus + enginseers to give them invul and heal. Some FOB field guns for indirect/ heavy lascannons(but they need los and quiet fragile) and scions with plasmas/meltas to harass backfield. I like HWT but they also very squishy. And you absolutely want bullgrins they are good now. At least it's my current list But it's all theory and how it's gonna play in your local lgs/tournaments is a good question.

Also there is infantry IG list on dakka without tanks and with report so you can check and do your own conclusion

As for kasrkins your Aquilons have gravechutes, for me it's hard to misjudge who is who, and with small paintjob difference(don't know your paint scheme but something like white line on pauldrons for Aquilons gonna fix problem) you can identify them easy.

Seems like a really fast and flexible list at 500 points. Shuffling around with the Valkyrie is great and the Strat to advance and shoot can give Marbo 13-18 inch flexibility if you don't need him to charge.

My only worry is that you won't have much to do actions / secondaries. Even if you don't attach the command squad, that only gives you four actionable units, so you loose a lot of your punching power if even one of them stops to do an action. If it doesn't mess with your theme too much, at 500 points, it might be better to go with a Taurox as your transport and then you could fit 10 Kaserkins in the list. It would give you more firepower as well as 2 more action units while keeping your transport capacity the same.

I agree with kabaakaba, if your converted Aquilons have the jetpacks, I don't see them easily getting mixed up with regular Kaserkins.
