331st Cadian Regiment - Beginning

Over the previous couple of weeks, i've been planning the things that i'll be purchasing for my new Imperial Guard army. This is the fruits - my army list (version 1) which will be brought over the next 2 months. In these two months I will have £300 to spend... and i'll be buying at 75% normal price (74 on the battleforces)

So. How do you plan a starting up Guard army? Games Workshop makes a good topic out of how to kitbash (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?aId=13900003) but it isn't far enough! I need precise lists of what goes into each boxset - that is LACKING! So i've went on a hunt to see what is actually on the boxes:
-- Basic Box: 2 Sergeants, 2 Flamers, 2 Grenade Launchers, 2 Vox Casters
-- Command Squad: Power Weapon, Power Fist, Platoon Banner, Regiment Banner, Vox Caster, Flamer, Plasma Gun, Meltagun, Grenade Launcher, Bolt Pistol, and Sniper Rifle
-- Heavy Weapon Team: All Heavy options (no Plas Cannon?)
-- Small Guard Box: No extras, 5 Guardsmen

Thats the first step. Next I have to see what I need for a good base. It's obvious that I want to use Guard's main advantage - Orders. Each (basic) choice of an Infantry Platoon I take happens to give me 1 order. I want to have a fair amount of them in order to have any chance of getting the combos I want off. And then, there's the whole fact that if I choose Company Command Squads - brilliant, cheap basic choices - then I not only get 2 orders but the terrific advisors, which you can STACK the effects of. Advisors are brilliant, therefore I want more of them. Nuff said

So here's the list:
HQ - Company Command Squad - Company Commander with Power Sword, Bolt Pistol, and Meltabombs, 4 Veterans with Medi Pack, Regimental Standard, Vox Caster, and 1 Grenade Launcher. Officer of the Fleet and Astropath attached

TROOP - Platoon Command Squad - Platoon Commander with Power Fist, Bolt Pistol, and Meltabombs, 4 Guardsmen with Medi Pack, Regimental Standard, Vox Caster, and 1 Grenade Launcher. 2 Infantry Squads armed in Formation A. 6 Heavy Weapon Teams with Lascannons. 20 Conscripts
TROOP - Platoon Command Squad - Platoon Commander with Power Fist, Bolt Pistol, and Meltabombs, 4 Guardsmen with Medi Pack, Regimental Standard, Vox Caster, and 1 Grenade Launcher. 2 Infantry Squads armed in Formation B. 3 Heavy Weapon Teams with Heavy Bolters
TROOP - Platoon Command Squad - Platoon Commander with Power Fist, Bolt Pistol, and Meltabombs, 4 Guardsmen with Medi Pack, Regimental Standard, Vox Caster, and 1 Grenade Launcher. 2 Infantry Squads armed in Formation A. 6 Heavy Weapon Teams with Lascannons. 20 Conscripts

FAST ATTACK - 2 Armoured Sentinels with Camo Netting, and Plasma Cannons
FAST ATTACK - 2 Armoured Sentinels with Camo Netting, and Plasma Cannons
FAST ATTACK - 2 Valkyries with Multi Lasers, and Multiple Rocket Pods

This is a basic list. It's formed out of 4 Battleforces (giving the base of 4 troops and 4 armoured sentinels) as well as 2 of the Heavy Weapon Squad boxes (for 6 more teams). I also add 2 Valkyries, as they're awesome models, and 2 Company Commands as well as 40 Conscripts (which are being used from some Praetorian-esqe British with their helmets etc) who WILL be dying in droves. All in all, no special characters and no pointy Russes... yet. Only meant to be a good starting list that I can build on later
