No problems.
I don't tend to use stormtroopers (I use hardened veterans with carapace armour) but when I do use them I will use them as IQ stormies if they are line reiforcements or suchlike, and IG for objective grabing and other stuff.

I love em just because they are fluffy, they are sexy and they can take down the enemy. Gonna take more of them... GRENADIERS!

if you take grenadiers, regular stormies and IQ stormies you vould field approxiamtely (hold on while we crunch....) nine units of stormtroopers in an army. Now that is cool, no?

900 points base, give everyone a vet. sargent with powerweapon (thunderhammer for IQ stormies) , meltagun-plasmagun combo, DS for elite stormies and you've got yourself a viable army.... in all fields. Oh,and chem-inhlaers for the grenadier-IG stormies.

I also recommend mounting them in a Chimera. It's also worth giving the Chimera weapons that will compliment the storm troopers'. I always give my squads specific jobs.
i.e One of my squads has two 'nade launchers and a Veteran sergeant with a bolter. They're Chimera has plenty of mid range fire power. (Multilaser, Heavy stubber, heavy bolter etc.) This squad's main job is to provide anti-personnel fire support.
Another squad has two flamers a Vet. sergeant with Honorifica Imperialis, a plasma pistol and a power weapon. This squad's job is to zoom up to a objective, capture and hold it. They're Chimera has exactly the same guns as the other one I have mentioned. This is to make sure they don't get gunned down by enemt shooty units.
Anyway, that's how I use some of my storm troopers.

Nota bad idea... Of course, you could give the ob. grabbers deepstrike (your gonna have the option 2/3rds of the time) and if you don't get to DS,then switch out chimera to the ob. grabber from the linesmen.
