Works out to 1850 points exact

So what is the platoon doing? If you plan on blobbing them up and not giving them a commissar then they will probably get shot up and run off the board.

The IG is used to have field presence on turn 1. I do agree that they need a commissar though...

I prefer veteran squads as allies. They have better BS and can actually serve do some damage with three plasma or meltas

I would drop one infantry squad so you can give all the other squads autocannons. Marching foot guard across the board is a terrible idea because small arms fire swats guardsmen away like nothing when they don't have adequate cover.
