Stormtrooper feel is the theme.

Indy commisars, sharpshooters, COD, and a few tanks requested.

The problem with what was requested is the COD doesn't work on storm troopers or grenadiers.

You can avoid that by giving everyone carapace armor, but then you lose the 2nd special weapon option...so hopefully this compromise will work.

The list is pretty flexible.

It comes in 3 parts.

Support:

Drop or backup units.

HQ:
0 Command Platoon @ 75 Pts
0 Command Squad @ [75] Pts
Drop Troops
1 Junior Officer @ [40] Pts
Drop Troops; Close Combat Weapon; Laspistol
4 Guardsmen @ [35] Pts
Drop Troops; Lasgun (x1); Meltagun (x2); Autocannon

Platoon 1 HQ:
0 Command Squad @ [76] Pts
Drop Troops
1 Junior Officer @ [41] Pts
Drop Troops; Close Combat Weapon; Bolter
4 Guardsmen @ [35] Pts
Drop Troops; Lasgun (x1); Plasmagun (x2); Autocannon

Platoon 2 HQ:
0 Command Squad @ [76] Pts
Drop Troops
1 Junior Officer @ [41] Pts
Drop Troops; Close Combat Weapon; Bolter
4 Guardsmen @ [35] Pts
Drop Troops; Lasgun (x1); Plasmagun (x2); Autocannon
Stick these with your 3 HQ's (if not dropping) for a bit of CC punch, in with your line troops, or with your Stormtroopers.

1 Commissar @ 204 Pts
Carapace Armour; Surveyor; Laspistol; Power Weapon; Frag Grenades; Melta Bombs
1 Commissar @ [68] Pts
Carapace Armour; Surveyor; Laspistol; Power Weapon; Frag Grenades; Melta Bombs
1 Carapace Armour @ [5] Pts
1 Surveyor @ [2] Pts
1 Commissar @ [68] Pts
Carapace Armour; Surveyor; Laspistol; Power Weapon; Frag Grenades; Melta Bombs
1 Carapace Armour @ [5] Pts
1 Surveyor @ [2] Pts
1 Carapace Armour @ [5] Pts
1 Surveyor @ [2] Pts

At the start of the game, I'd place the Commissars in with the Static Firebase troops for more surveyor action. They should be near a Chimera so they can mount up if you want them with your stormtroopers.

Static Infantry (Firebase part I):

Infantry Platoon 1 @ 284 Pts
9 Infantry Squad @ [104] Pts
Close Order Drill; Sharpshooters; Lasgun (x8); Lascannon
1 Veteran Sergeant @ [15] Pts
Sharpshooters; Surveyor; Bolter
1 Surveyor @ [2] Pts
9 Infantry Squad @ [104] Pts
Close Order Drill; Sharpshooters; Lasgun (x8); Lascannon
1 Veteran Sergeant @ [15] Pts
Sharpshooters; Surveyor; Bolter
1 Surveyor @ [2] Pts

Infantry Platoon 2 @ 284 Pts
9 Infantry Squad @ [104] Pts
Close Order Drill; Sharpshooters; Lasgun (x8); Lascannon
1 Veteran Sergeant @ [15] Pts
Sharpshooters; Surveyor; Bolter
1 Surveyor @ [2] Pts
9 Infantry Squad @ [104] Pts
Close Order Drill; Sharpshooters; Lasgun (x8); Lascannon
1 Veteran Sergeant @ [15] Pts
Sharpshooters; Surveyor; Bolter
1 Surveyor @ [2] Pts

Remember the HQ's for these do *not* need to be nearby. They can drop, or provide AC support and some plasma/melta support where you need it.

Static Tankline (Firebase Part 2):

1 Leman Russ Battle Tank @ 156 Pts
Searchlight; Battle Cannon; Hull Mounted Heavy Bolter; Sponson Heavy Bolter
1 Searchlight @ [1] Pts

1 Leman Russ Battle Tank @ 156 Pts
Searchlight; Battle Cannon; Hull Mounted Heavy Bolter; Sponson Heavy Bolter
1 Searchlight @ [1] Pts

1 Basilisk @ 125 Pts
Earthshaker Cannon; Hull Heavy Bolter; Indirect Fire Capability

I'd always take the Basilisk over the LR unless you are doing a pure drop army.

Mobile Elements:

6 Storm Troopers @ 179 Pts
Hellgun w/targeter (x4); Plasmagun (x2); Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades; Chimera
1 Sergeant @ [10] Pts
Close Combat Weapon; Hellpistol; Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades
1 Chimera @ [89] Pts
Searchlight; Smoke Launchers; Multilaser; Hull Heavy Bolter
1 Searchlight @ [1] Pts
1 Smoke Launchers @ [3] Pts

6 Storm Troopers @ 179 Pts
Hellgun w/targeter (x4); Plasmagun (x2); Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades; Chimera
1 Sergeant @ [10] Pts
Close Combat Weapon; Hellpistol; Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades
1 Chimera @ [89] Pts
Searchlight; Smoke Launchers; Multilaser; Hull Heavy Bolter
1 Searchlight @ [1] Pts
1 Smoke Launchers @ [3] Pts

7 Inquisitorial Stormtroopers [WH] @ 179 Pts
Frag Grenades; Hellgun (x5); Mount in Chimera; Plasmagun (x2); Targeter
1 Chimera [WH] @ [89] Pts
Multilaser; Heavy Bolter; Searchlight; Smoke Launchers

7 Inquisitorial Stormtroopers [WH] @ 179 Pts
Frag Grenades; Hellgun (x5); Mount in Chimera; Plasmagun (x2); Targeter
1 Chimera [WH] @ [89] Pts
Multilaser; Heavy Bolter; Searchlight; Smoke Launchers

4 squads of Stormtroopers, 4 Chimeras. You can drive forward, but against mobile enemies I'd get out on foot with the stormtroopers and leave the Chimeras as part of the Static Tankline providing fire support.

If it's a nightfight, you have 6 searchlights. That should get you a couple units spotted.

Hope that helps.

Total Roster Cost: 2000
