http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net I've tossed my IG list around with a couple of pals and thought I would throw it up
here for a tear down.

The idea is to do what IG do best and out man and out gun who ever I come up
against. I figure with 10 lascannons that should be enough anti-armor and with
them split up into the squads that gives me 10 targets I can engage per shooting
round. My missiles go in the Heavy Weapon Squads to engage what the lascannons
leave or use mass frag missiles for hords. My Special weapon squads take on anyone
who gets to close and my Strom Troopers deep strike for pesky hidden armor.

My Bane Wolf/Devil Dog do what they do best and take one some
troops while my Psyker Battle squad drops a decent S9 template on folks
heads.

My Leman Russ Punishers are mass anti-infantry.

HQ's are pretty naked, I see no reason to dump to many points into them
and I decided not to take Commissars because with 10 + squads if I do have
one or two break I have more then enough to fill in until they rally, if at all.

I'd also drop the Devil dogs for Vendettas as you get more use from 3 TL LC's than you do from a scattering melta blast.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244209/776053.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244209/776053.page GMT IDK.

Six tanks at 2500 points - you yourself are taking enough AT to pop all of them by the end of the second turn.

No Special Weapons in the line squads.

No AckAck for the AirCav fad (no real solution for that unless you want to invest in heavy stubbers and/or autocannons and/or Hydras.

Your self-described primary defense against CC is a one-shot template weapon with a 12" effective range.

-------
Solutions:

Drop the Special Weapons Squads, and distribute the plasmas among the line squads.

Get another Company HQ - lose the MOO and the Astropath (unless you were going to outflank some stuff?) and get another Fleet Officer to really disrupt reserve rolls. Just paint a tank sprue officer blue or something appropriately fleet-ish.

Tool the PLT HQs out for at least something - 4 flamers for a counter-attack that's guaranteed to do some damage on the cheap.

You may have to drop a line squad w/ a Lascannon to find points for that stuff.

If you min/max the Stormies, you probably can scrape enough points for a Chimera to put your PBS in, and make it a bit less of a glass cannon.

As for tanks, it'll be interesting to see whether or not three Punishers put out the dakka you need. Definitely post a battle report when you're done!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244209/776502.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244209/776502.page GMT the Psyker Battle Squad and one squad from each platoon. I also dropped the MOF, MOO and bodyguard
and added x2 plasma to the CCSHQ. In my Platoon I went with special weapons for the first line since the second line
will be behind them I did not give them any. I added two Vet squad and two Valk for some quick objective
grabbing action.

- Melta/Demo vets in Valks own Landraiders and AV 13+

- The Lascannons are solid long range AV11+ Anti armor

- More flamers is good

Things I think you should consider
- Plasma is a no bueno on Guard in 5th Edition. With the weak armor save and poor BS, you're just not going to get the return on your investment that you are looking for. I would either ditch it for more melta (close range support if enemy armor reaches your line), or autocannon+2 sniper rifles and cammo cloaks. If you are going to insist on taking plasma, take a medi-pack on the CCS so you at least get FNP on the overheats.

- All Ard Boyz armies usually need 2 things to truly be competitive. Deep strike protection and psychic protection. This is commonly accomplished by allying in inquisition goodies, but the Guard have a cheap option that can fulfill one of these roles. Leave the Officer of the Fleet in. Against all deepstriking armies you are going to want to be able to focus all of your striking power onto small borken up chuncks of you opponent's army. This is better achieved with a OoF to break up reserves rolls. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244209/776908.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244209/776908.page GMT but how lone will they stay at range anyway. I added a Master of the Fleet for the
very reasion stated in this thread, delay the deep strikers.
