Hi
I've been an IG player for a while (since last codex) and currently playtesting a few options for the new codex. I run Vostroyans, so having a hard time finding the right rules to represent their fluff. I've settled on veterans, and although I know it is a point-sink I'm using the Grenadiers doctrine (although as a note, I mostly play Marines so that improved armour save often comes in handy).
Here is list...
HQ (170)
Company command squad with plasma guns (x3)
Carapace armour
Chimera with heavy flamer and multi-laser
ELITES (165)
Psyker battle squad (x9)
Chimera with heavy flamer and multi-laser
TROOPS (615)
Veteran squad with melta guns (x3)
Grenadier doctrine

Veteran squad with grenade launchers (x3)
Grenadier doctrine
Chimera with heavy flamer and multi-laser
FAST ATTACK (260)
Vendetta
Vendetta
HEAVY SUPPORT (790)
Manticore
Leman Russ Squadron (x2)
Leman Russ Demolisher (x2)
... all comes in at 2000 exactly.
I've not used the Manticore so far, but it looks such an awesome tank I couldn't resist. I would love to have some sponson weapons on the Leman Russes, but the cost is prohibitive. Also found that when you have a largely-mech list like this, you spend way to long manoveuring vehicles so that the sponsons can be fired.
Any tips on my list? I'd like to change one of the melta vet squads to something with more variety, but just no points!
