Hey everyone! I'm a moderately new Imperial Guard player, and was wondering what some people thought on my army plan. I currently own about half of it, and am working towards acquiring the rest over the next few months. This is by no means a hyper competitive list, but rather a list that I want to enjoy and work a good amount of the time.
My first army was Eldar, and I finished that army a while back, and it has served me well... but it gets so boring at times! The imperial guard appealed to me being the underdogs of the 40k universe, and provided me with a challenge to learn a new army.

I overall wanted this list to be fairly infantry heavy with artillery support. The tactics behind it is to assign 2 of the commissars to the conscripts, and the other 2 to heavy weapon squads depending on what army I am fighting, and then advance up the board with all the infantry I can with long ranged support doing a lot of the work from behind the defense line or while in terrain.
However, in terms of units I am unsure of, the melee based company command squad and the Deathstrike are two units I think I'd replace for something else, though I'm not sure what would work best. Punisher Tank Commander? Valkyries or vendettas? The list needs some more tweaking, and any advice would be appreciated. I still would like to keep the army fairly infantry heavy, I have Eldar to go tank spamming.
