Hey mates. Recently after discovering this idea after watching someone else run it, I decided to tweak it a little and to be honest I have been surprised by the results. Not only have I done very well in the past 6 games with this list, but I have just been surprised by how much firepower this list brings to the table and how effective it is, especially against Marine armies. Since I have always been a huge fan of IG Stormtroopers (ran a whole army of them back with the old Deamonhunter Codex), I have been trying to find a way to run them as a troop choice and finally was able to run version of them using the GK codex and running Warrior Acolytes as Stormtroopers w/Hot-Shot Lasguns. The only real drawback is that I have to take Coteaz in order to run this list, but besides that, not only do I benefit from having a lot of AP3 on the table, I also am able to mix things up a bit from traditional Gk lists and so far it has done awesome against elite armies such as Marines, Chaos, Necrons, and the new Flyer-Heavy IG, with the only loss coming from a close, bloody game against another IG player ( Demolishers are nasty this edition FYI40K Army: Daemonhunters). Here is the list I have been currently running an so far I have gone 5-0-1 with it, and its a list I was trying to make with no GK's of any kind (Dreadnoughts will be converted to look more IG) so tell me what you guys think.

*Infantry Squad "Echo":
-w/Sgt. w/Lasgun, 1x Vox-Caster w/Lasgun, 6x Guardsmen w/Lasguns, 1x Autocannon Team
*Manticore "Wrath of Ulric"
Total: 1500 points
Overall a very effective, balanced list as it pretty much covers everything I need to take on various opponents. So far, my Dreadnoughts have been very good at taking down aircraft and other flyers, as the S8 shots gives them the much needed extra punch, while my Guard Allies have done a good job of either supporting my Chimera's as they advance or providing a good, defensive unit that guards my objective, with my Platoon Command just providing a little extra Anti-Tank (already have taken out a Necron Flyer, a Chaos Land Raider, and a few transports with it so far so its off to a good start).
