Weapon wise, Lasguns, Meltaguns, and Grenade-Launchers. Basic stuff. I cant really make a powerful force right away, mostly because I have yet to buy a rulebook (got the codex though lol). and i only have 20 guardsmen, 3 heavy weapons teams, and a Demolisher Tank. In short, I have no clue what im doing

that's not a bad beginning setup, I've noticed of late that there's been a lack of heavy support in peoples lists, so I might recommend the possibility of getting another leman russ right off so that you don't feel as if you MUST drive your leman russ demolisher forward in battle and expose its rear armor (the regular russ having a gun with awesome range so that you have big gun support at long range).

I don't know turtle a Dem is a good option i mean come on give is plasma side sponsons and Bam! [emeral level Bam!] thats 1 pie plate and 2 small blasts. And if it is getting shot in the reat armor then you have not given it enough infantry cover.

true. i havent built my demolisher yet. so why dont i just make it a leman russ. It came with the parts and instructions for both. lol. ill go ahead and do that then.
And on the basis of color coding my men. i was thinking of making it basic Cadian 8th fatigues. with a stripe of color on the arm, representing what platoon it belongs too.(I like to organize things :/)
-edit- Emeral level bam? wow...im gonna have too think about this then lawl.

Welcome To the Boards ... What You Can Do Is Build Your Leman Russ (Don't Glue The Turrets .. I made That Mistake When I got my 1st ever Chimera .. Stupid Me lol) and Put Together the Turret to the Demolisher ... Turtle's Advise Is Good But this Way, You Can choose Between using the Two .... And Later On, When You Pick Up Another Leman Russ, You can Replace the Turret for the Demolisher Turret .. Both Are Invaluable Tanks So You Like Both .... And The Advantage of The Internet, Some lil' Rat Bastard Swiped my 40k Rule Book ... So I went on Limewire And Downloaded it in PDF format (Will Print It Out Later lol) And last Minute Advice .. Think of this When people laff at you For Choosing Imperial Guard ... Imperial Guard Are One of the Most Verstile Armies in the 40K Range And This ....

the sad truth is that the other 9 spaces marines in the first space marines squad come and own all the guardsmen who zotted the first space marine without a casualty

In one of my competitive lists i field 2 leman russes, 1 demolisher and a hellhound. The enemy usually only destroys 1 per game. It's really hard to knock out all that armour. But to start of with i would go with what Tboy has said, '1 russ and 1 demo'. I swapped armies with my Ultramarine buddy (he's not actually an Ultramarine, he just uses that army ) last Thursday and gave him 1 russ and 1 demo to use. By the end of the game all i did to those 2 tanks was destroy the leman russes' battle cannon. Quite simply they own.
