No one got anything good/bad so say about this list? l am thinking of using it for a game tomorrow.

what are your intentions for the lord commissar? it looks like you could save points by including a normal commissar in one of your infantry squads, other than it would be good if you could a afford a chimera to chuck your command squad into, some special weapons on them would give them more bite too, plasma is very handy and if your command squad has a medic its much harder to kill yourself overheating

I like it in that its not the usual Vendetta/Chimelta/Autocannon spam list we run into. Personally I hate blob squads (I think they're not good units at all) so I wouldn't need the Commissar. I also don't put many heavy weapons in my basic infantry squads which tends to keep them more mobile. Love that you are using Sentinels, my personal favorite is the Armoured Sentinel with a plasma cannon. He's expensive but his BS3 is less of a handicap.

Overall I like your list because you aren't listening to the internet (much) but I would try and get some more mobile scoring units. My IG lists all include 2 squads of veterans in Chimeras, a Platoon command squad and 3 infantry squads on foot and all unencumbered by heavy weapons as well as a special weapons team or 2 with 3x Flamers. This is all in addition to the heavy weapon squads, 2 more infantry squads with lascannons, and a platoon commander with an autocannon. (Generally I spend around 1000-1100 points on Troops with IG.) This gives you tons of scoring units both mobile and static. It bleeds KP's but its the only way to grab multiple objectives with this army.

The lord commissar was mainly there as an anchor point for the infantry squads and command squads.

an alternate list could be.

what to do with those spare 25pts? could drop the flamers and the plasma pistol and take pask in the vanquisher.

[Root]

Heavy Bolters on the Valkyrie and Extra Armor on the Chimera. 9 shots and 2 rocket pods makes a decent mess and in my experience extra armor can come in real handy from time to time.
