I have heard the Valks are the way to go, but I wanted to keep my army themed and Valks don't really seem to fit the traitor, Iron Warrior henchmen theme. perhaps I could convert something to "count as" a Valk... The storm troopers do have some great rules, I may have to build something up for them, enforcers with whips perhaps. Thanks for the ideas guys.

I definately like the thought of 2 Tanks as a Fast Attack though, I'm guessing with the Multi-Melta it will be predominantly an anti-armour unit. Not sure about those Chem Cannons, are they infantry useful or armour? Could you replace the second squad of Sentinels for a squad of Storm Troopers, perhaps with Valkyrie transport within points limit? I've seen them influence many a game before just with their special weapon load outs. Just a thought, and in specific regards to the Storm Troopers try and fit them in somewhere as they can actually cause a second thought to tough unit players like Marines and Necrons as well as being elite enough to take on Eldar. Yes I just like Storm Troopers!

I always find the multi-day tournaments to be a blast and it focuses your gaming prepared-ness and gives you a deadline to get stuff done. As far as your list, while I agree this is not the super competitive Leaf Blower style IG Template list or Mech IG list that you are accustomed to seeing on the web right now, I think it definitely a good starting point. What is the purpose of the first 25 man platoon in the army. I notice all it really has is 2 grenade launchers and 2 flamers in the way of punch and no transport option at all. Don't you think 2 Vet Squads could do the job better and for less points? Also why no Valks? Even 1 or 2 of them to move a vet squad or two around and to give you some high mobile template laying ability can really put a crease in your enemies plans and cause all kind of disruption. You have a solid start I think, you just need to make a few tweaks and you will have a solid list. I think you should make a go at the tournament.
