I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the IG tank company is worth doing. Because i was thinking about doing one while i build up my Death Korps army. Until then i'll use the squads as Armoured fists for know. So if so what are the strenghts and weaknesses of the army.

armored company is an extreme, you'll find you have less people that want to battle you (since some people just dont have that many lascannons they can field) and others will tailor a list specificially to beat your tanks. it's best used in a tournament when people with well rounded lists are FORCED to face you whether they want to or not, whether they're equipped to deal with 50 tanks or not.
it's definately powerful vs a balanced composition opponent though, that's for sure.

armored companies can be ALOT of fun to play and the fluff is great too, just watch out for the necrons.
My armoured company is this
HQ- chimera with a SO and staff
Troop 1 - leman russ, leman russ exterminater
troop 2 leman russ,leman russ demolisher
FA-Hell hound
FA 3 sentinals
FA- 3 sentinals
Elites- tech priest in a chimera
Elites stormies in a chimera
HS- basalisk
HS basalisk
i think you can still DL the armoured company rules from GW site or maybe it was forge world, i can't remember now.

hmm, i like the idea of an armored company, it seems lie it would be great at a my GW's big 2000pts, tourney, seeing as u can't modify your army once you make it and people will make a good half anti-infantry other half anti-tank it would be ALOT of fun
