A few things jump out and bite me. First you may only have 1 of each type of advisor in any one squad. Meaning you need to reasign the second Commisar. Also each Infantry Platoon must include a J.O. (junior officer) squad. Third, if you're not using the "Grenadiers" Doctrine you'll need another troop selection to meet the standard FOC (Force Organization Chart) because, Strom Troopers are normaly elite. Fouth, you may only have 1 special weapon and 1 hvy weapon per Infantry squad, Flamers and Grenade Launchers are both special weapons, you'll need to drop one each squad. Lastly Hvy Weap Platoons may include 1-3 weapons squads. So, With all that let's take a look at composition. Starting with Docs I'd say to keep this list as close to what it is/ what it seems you want I'd suggest: Grenadiers,Hvy Weaps Plats, Sharpshooter, and one to play with. Keep the Commisar w/ Carapase and Power Weapon, drop the one that's plain. The Storm troopers lose Infiltrate and DS. Use those points to purchase the J.O. squad for the Infantry Platoon. If you're going for a shoot out, drop the flamers and replace each with a Hvy Bolter or Missle Launcher. For the Hvy Platoon, drop one of the A.C. squads and give as many units as you can starting with the Anti-Tankers sharpshooter. Also, if you haven't already, you should get a copy of the codex and examine each unit, look for synergy and how to compensate for that units weaknesses

datajax pretty much summed it all up....my advice to you would be....since u have 2 anti-tank units and 2 autcannons which can practiclly kill medium amroured units...as well as infantry....i would replace the lascannon on the hull of the tank and give it a heavy bolter...then use the spare points to but extra armour and perhaps rough terrain modification....but thats just me...

Power weapons ignore all normal aromour saves.

I suggest you buy the Rulebook and perhaps you should reed the Codex a bit more carefully...

Welcome to the Guard!

I would strongly consider dropping the heavy weapon platoon, and adding support squads to your command platoon instead. They can act independently, but will get to set up later, and gives u space for more tanks.
