This is a work in progress, for a couple of years now. Basically I want to run a large infantry based Guard Army. This will be a mostly For Fun Army, though I do want to make it Competitive to. I will also be planning on making it a double FOC. For “Completive Games” I will be dropping things like the Ogryn and the Leman Russ Demolisher. There is no upper Points Limit, I just want to build a giant army.
Basically this is the though around these basic thoughts:
1. 1 Full Sized Infantry Platoon advancing complete with Commander Chenkov and a full Send in the “Next Wave” Conscript Squad.
2. 1+ Penal Squads
3. 1-3 Tanks following in a Fire Support Mode
4. 1+ Veteran Squads in Transports, either Chimeras or Valkuries/Vendettas.
5. 1-2 Artillery Batteries.
6. 1 Ogryn Squad
7. 1 Rating Sniper Squad
8. 1 Hellhound Squadron
9. 1+ Rough Rider Squads
10. 1+ Storm Troopers

This is currently what I have:

Company Command Squad: Close Combat Weapon x4; Carapace Armour; Krak Grenades; Flamer x3; Heavy Flamer)
>Colonel 'Iron Hand' Straken
1x Bodyguard
>Astropath
>Master of Ordnance
>Officer of the Fleet

Infantry Platoon
Platoon Command Squad (Close Combat Weapon x2; Lasgun x1; Krak Grenades; Medi-pack; Plasma gun x1)
>Commander Chenkov
>Commissar (Bolt Pistol; Krak Grenades; Power Maul)
>Heavy Weapons Team

Infantry Squad (Close Combat Weapon x9; Flak Armour; Lasgun x9; Krak Grenades; Combined Squad)
>Sergeant (Character; Assault Grenades; Flak Armour; Laspistol; Krak Grenades; Power Weapon)
>Commissar (Bolt Pistol; Krak Grenades; Power Maul) [I still have to finish the 2nd one]

2x Heavy Weapons Squads (Heavy Bolter x3 each)
2x Special Weapons Squad (Demolition Charge x1; Flamer x2)

30x Conscripts [I still have 20 to go]

Leman Russ Squadron
>Leman Russ Demolisher (Heavy Flamer x3) [I like the way I modeled it and I am going to keep it and its three Flamers till the new Codex comes out]
>Leman Russ Exterminator (Las-Cannon and Heavy Bolters)
>Leman Russ Vanquisher [Most likely with Pask]

Hydra Flak Tank Battery
3x Hydra Flak Tanks

The main things I wanted help with are:
o What Special Weapon do I give my Infantry Squads? Unless I spend some money I am sort of stuck with the Heavy Bolters.
o I am planning on making the Veteran Squads my Anti-Tank Units, best load-out for them?
o The Strom Troopers will most likely be Anti-Tank or as Scouts vs. Marines, best load-out for them?

I am hoping that some input will get me to start working on them.
