8 stormies & vet sergeant, p.weapon, 2 plasma, infiltrate

Infantry squad, vox, plasma, heavy bolter

Armored fist squad, vox, melta, rocket launcher
Chimera, heavy bolter, multi laser, smoke, heavy stubber

FAST ATTACK:
Hellhound, smoke, storm bolter
HEAVY SUPPORT;
Leman Russ, heavy bolters, lascannon

Tactics:
I usually set the hellhound & chimera on one side, russ and HQ on the other, with infantry plattoon in center or even deep strike(!!!). The large stormies team sets near the enemy in cover, at the chimera/hound's side. the small, classic stormies team combines with them to harrass the enemy there and weaken them, before the hellhound, armoured fist and infantry squads arrive.
The army is thus split in 3 groups, one stationary that has the range to support the rest of the army, one that gets on the offensive, and one small that harrasses the enemy. usually the enemy is tempted to attack the HQ, leaving his rear open.

Perhaps the most important aspect of the army is: hellhound excluded, every single, last unit of the army has at least one (if not more) S7+ weapon, so there are no "specific threats" the enemy vehicles can hide from!I can actually pull off 5 S9 shots, 8 S8 shots, and 20 S7 shots, 33 S7+ shots total! ;D
This has worked wonders against eldar, SM and other such foes, while the hellhound and deep striking aspect (see "rapid fire!" ) of the infantry plattoon are usually enough against lower-toughness armies.
Also, all my army can potentially have an Ld of 10!!! with carefull deployment, all of them never flee, they are only 83 ppl, but the enemy must kill ALL of them, not just cause them to flee(which is a pain when they can all take down tanks and most have a init value of 4 due to CoD).
It is not an "imba swarm" or "many tanks!" army but it is one flexible enough to allow me to win games through tactics with no "autowin/autoloss" scenario. I have even won cityfights!lotsa them!What i am trying to do, though, is fit another infantry squad somewhere.
Any comments on the list/tactics?

I love the list and the idea behind it, it suprises me that you have put a single mortar in the CS, do you find that it works well, I'd have thought a different heavy weapon may work better.

Also do you find the lascannon on the Russ of any use, I tend to replace mine with 3 HBolters for the same cost.

Now I can see what you meant about focusing on plasma and melta weapons in the other army lists thread

I may well be 'borrowing' some of ur ideas ;P V, v nice!!!!!

Fellow commander Fatuous, you may "borrow" as many ideas as you like mate, thats why this forum's for!

As for the mortar, the true reason for putting it there is it can fire while my leadership-oriented command squad is well hidden behind some hill/building, while other heavy weapons can't. as such, it keeps my CS safe.

I only use the squad offensively as a counter-assault when my opponent assaults the heavy weapons squads,move-shoot-charge for 9 power weapon attacks at init 4(has even defeated 10 howling banshees this way, with help from its hooting,though still most simple guardsmen died and the commander lost 1 wound at that incident, ah well, how much more can you expect from such an Ld-oriented squad).
This way my CS stays alive at leas until turn 4(with proper hiding and protection) so the Ld 10 applies.

The lascannon on the russ has helped me very much, as it works better vs. Tyrants/Carnifexes(2+save, battlecannon won't tickle them) , Terminators, and even vehicles(much better than battlecannon, whose str is halved if u do not hit exactly the center). Heavy bolter is only good vs. swarm armies, but then the battlecannon can also do the trick(it cant miss, there's that many of them).

I see the point for other configurations on both matters, just i found it works better for me.anyways, gotta go will return online at some point tommorow(my fav soccer team plays most important match of season tonight).

EDIT:My team won 3-0!!!!!huzzaaahhh!

I decided to consider the following changes:
a)drop the smoke in the hellhound and the 2 flamers in the command squads, since they are rarely used so no combat capability loss there.
b)drop the commissar, since he makes the command squad that VERY rarely sees combat too expensive.overall no loss in combat capability in the army(not combat-oriented squad), just one point of leadership.
c) with these points and the loss of the autocannon team i can add a second Leman russ with h.bolters and a lascannon. more anti-tank than the autocannon team, more anti-infantry also. and more mobility.

Do u guys think i should go for it?

Drop a few of units you don't need or want anymore and you may have enough room for a sentinel or two. A few of these walkers might add a bit of mobility to the army, though from what I gather, you don't need any. Still, the Sentinel might draw some of the enemy's anti tank fire power away from your Chimera, Hellhound and Leman Russ.
