Any critique of this IG combined arms list. I ran it a few times and had some unlucky losses with it (several coming down to a single VP difference).
Basically 50 sloggers backed up by 20 mechvets with some armor/air support.

I'd prefer not to go 100% armor/sloggers since its boring to me.

Any improvements?

I would say drop the demolisher to a regular LR. Drop 1 meltagun from each vet squad as you can only fire 2 from the hatch anyways. Use those 40 points you have laying around now to give pask multi-melta sponsons and a lascannon on his hull. This turns pask into an even more versatile killer as he can now easily kill anything on the board depending on the distance. If you want him to be slightly more survivable alternatively you can give pask camo netting and a dozer blade.

I am not a fan of Pask. It depends on how tough your meta is, but against any legit list, he will die every time immediately. If this is for casual play then, yea, he's good. Platoons are good. If you are blobbing them, invest in a commissar so they don't get overrun by pretty much anything. I like the idea of an armoured sentinel. I don't like the idea of a squadron of 3. Cut two, buy heavy weapons or something for the platoons.
