Conceptually I like it. I think that the core should be some Guard formations and you then get to bring in SOB and a Crusading Chapter support elements in limited amounts. I'd direct it to be the most iconic elements from the elites. With this you could end up with a very good representation of something like St Sabbat's Crusade for instance. I can't say if it would be balanced in tournament play but could be amazeballz for narrative play.
I would suggest you take a read through the Sarns Expanse Crusade list for ideas as well. One of the big problems pulling in forces from all over in EA is that you tend to end up with no weaknesses. Marines with heavy plentiful artillery and lots of RA tanks backed up with SoB FF support murder traps and the like. Ya know?
Looking forward to seeing where this goes. It certainly is interesting!
Thank you for the opinion. As I stated there is abundance of Imperial army lists, and many(most?) of them are focussed on IG and only one of them includes SoB. I deliberately haven't included Guard formations, because in that shape this list should have been called "Cadia's Defenders" and that it turn would make it more "defensive", so to say. The list is intended to be a casual list more than a torunament list that's for sure. Anyway, I will look into St Sabbat's Crusade anyway.
Not only I have went through Saranes Exp. Crusade, but I own a 2k pts. army of it (mostly painted).
But, yeah, when I am thinking about it now, maybe I shouldn't put Vindicators and limit the Land Raiders or/and remove some air support. AND maybe rework the restrictions.
