My Models:

2 Company Command Squads
5, 10-man infantry squads
4 Heavy weapons teams (one already built with lascannon)
2 Sentinels

I am interested in making my army better and I have considered buying a Chimera and or a Russ, Regimental Advisors, Storm Troopers, Marbo, and/or Creed. I’d rather not buy multiple Valkyries like people have suggested. If anyone has more suggestions, that would be great. Thanks again.

If you prefer vets then invest in Chimeras if you don't like aircraft. Marbo is a must for me with IG he always manages to do something spectacular or die in a big way. Just throw him at the priest, it won't always work out but will be fun every
time.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544662/5921286.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544662/5921286.page GMT Another new to Guard post...Would like help on it BS 4, also you get 3 special weapons or 2 and 1 weapon team...

I also like using some squads of stormtroopers use the behind enemy lines rule makes them infiltrate and count as pinning on first shots! 2 or 3 units with that with meltaguns generally does the trick.

You still get 3 weapon specialists in a veteran squad if you have a heavy weapon team in it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544662/5959377.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544662/5959377.page GMT Re:Another new to Guard post...Would like help on it
Mechanized is veteran squads with either x3 plasma or melta guns mounted in a chimera. Then you are usually backed up by russes or artillery and usually 2-3 vendettas

Gunline is 2-3 platoons and each infantry squad usually has an auto cannon or lascannon attached(those are the best hwt's and lascannons are actually the best as you get more bang for your buck). Dont run heavy weapons squads as they are fragile and 1 s6 shot insta kills them and when 1 hwt dies the squad takes a ld test and on ld 7 they will probably die. So yea a bunch of infantry squads with auto cannons or lascannons attached to them. Then theres usually an aegis line and a quad and either russes or artillery to back them up and as the list above is probably 2-3 vendettas.

The next option which since your playing casual games with friends and wont be going to tournies i would assume then this is good or you. Hybrid isnt really competitive but basically it mixes the first 2 together.

There also is air cav but you said you really dont want to many flyers so thats out of the question.

How many points do you guys plan on playing around?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544662/5960343.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544662/5960343.page GMT Re:Another new to Guard post...Would like help on it
