Hello fellow generals.
This is my first post after a bit of lurking and then a bit of registered-lurking.
I've always loved the Armageddon Steel Legion. Luckily I've managed, 14 years later to get a pretty large amount of them for a decent price and have been cobbling together a list.
My experience of IG is limited. I have a had experience in KILLING IG (heresy! blam! ) in 40k but not really playing with them. I need advice from veterans on things like general strategy, as well as tactics/gear/squad setup.
I need to know in advance due to the metal minis I'll need to convert anything that isn't standard.
Here's my list of general queries:
I will post my proposed list later once I edit it on mydataslate Battlescribe.

Here's my list of general queries:
- General is a high commissar with the mask, special bolt pistol and a power fist (is this +3 str actually worth 25pts?)
- Mechanised Veteran squad weapon arrangement - currently it's looking like 1 3x melta, 1 3xplasma, 1 1xhvy flamer+2xflamer
- Autocannon on chimeras? Longer range +1str - is it worth it? Only worth it on the infantry platoons that will be digging in behind an ADL?
- Power weapons (axes or swords) on vet. squads that will be getting pretty close (like melta-vets and flamer-vets) or is this pointless?
- Camping infantry platoon behind ADL?
- Infantry platoon setup - PCS has medic, grenade launcher, 2x platoons have grenade launcher + heavy bolters, 3HWS 2 3xmissile 1 3x lascannon
- Are sentinels any good? (auto cannon + HKM for the flank/rear)
- Superheavy - the stormlord (transports 40, nice guns!) or baneblade?
- Leman russ variants - I like the basic types, also the nova-eradicator, the punisher (with Cmdr Pasque), demolisher?
- Also toying with sponsons - worth it or not? Thinking an exterminator with 2 plasma sponsons for the AP2 goodness?
- Artillery - basilisks or manticore or hydra? I also love the new wyvern mortar tank
- Are stormtroomers Tempestus Scions worthwhile for the AP3 goodness? In a chimera or taurox?
- For tanks - dozer blades? My marine rhinos and vindicators have them in order to get close, but things like whirlwinds and predators don't. So I'm thinking yes for chimeras and LRdemolisher, but no for other things.
I will post my proposed list later once I edit it on my
