Hi everyone.  I'm trying to put together an IG army that can run with MEQ armies.  Any and all thoughts appreciated.

"Command Platoon (HQ) @ 367 Pts Command Squad; Flamer (x2) Junior Officer Power Weapon, Bolt pistol "

he'll probably be dead before he get's to swing that power weapon. i'd get him a standard and hide them.

"10 Rough Riders (Fast Attack) @ 110 Pts Hunting Lances

10 Rough Riders (Fast Attack) @ 110 Pts Hunting Lances"

2, 5 man squads would be better, imho.

also, imho, there's not enough lascannons(4) and line squads(5) for 1850.

Trimed down the rough riders to 8 per squad and changed out an Armored Fist unit to a line infantry platoon. Going to use the single squad as a speed bump out front (hoping for a round of rapid firing). Also traded out a Leman Russ for a Basie.

Thoughts?
