Theres a bit about this in the April White Dwarf magazine.
As noted on this board (somewhere), buying models from Forge World can work out cheaper.
I'm going to get a couple of boxes of infantry, 7 Chimeras, a Leman Russ company & an artillery company from GW and my Baneblades and shadowswords from Forge World.

Personally I really don't like sentinels... seems a tad support heavy  .
I was just wondering, because I saw your username and wondered...

I'm not sure about Artillery Companies, they seem like a lot of points for something that is very vulnerable to being taken out by air assaults, bombers or even normal formations. If you spend more defending it from air/ground attacks then it ends up costing a lot more then the already costly 650.
After playing against IG in my first game last night I would probably go for something like this: (baring in mind I have only had one game and that was me playing Orks  )
Tank Co.
1 Vanquisher, 9 Leman Russ 650
1 Hydra 50
700
Regimental HQ
1 Commander, 12 IG Infantry, 7 Chimera 500
1 Hydra 50
550
Infantry Co.
1 Commander, 12 IG Infantry 250
1 Hydra 50
2 Ogryns 50
350
Storm Trooper Plt.
8 Storm Troopers 200
4 Valkyrie 150
350
Vulture Squadron
4 Vultures 300
300
Artillery Battery
3 Manticores 250
250
Deathstrikes
2 Deathstrikes 200
200
Rough Rider Plt.
6 Rough Riders 150

It can be useful to look at what you want to build towards, so when buying for a smaller army you don't end up with formations you don't want in a larger one.

Hiya
I'd definately drop the hydra from the infantry company as it won't last 5 minutes being the in vehicle in the formation. The army also seems a little more assault orientated than I would play certainly.
The tank and HQ companies should be made mandatory. Their invaluable. Infantry is always good and your not playing imperial guard if you don't have any artillery.
Tank Co.
1 Vanquisher, 9 Leman Russ 650
1 Hydra 50
700
Regimental HQ
1 Commander, 12 IG Infantry, 7 Chimera 500
1 Hydra 50
550
Infantry Co.
1 Commander, 12 IG Infantry 250
4 Fire Support 100 or 2 Snipers 50
2 Ogryns 50
350
Artillery Battery
3 Manticores or Basilisks 250
250
Rough Rider Plt.
6 Rough Riders 150
150
=2000pts
Would give a nice mix and be fun to play with.

And get yourself a new keyboard. The one you have now seems to be faulty.

Hi,
A space marine player I know was wondering quite a bit about this subject:
How do you deal with large formations of infantry hiding out in ruins/buildings or whatever.
I'll give two sample formations and look see what ideas people have for finishing them off:
A standard 13 stand Imperial Guard comapny on Overwatch in ruins/rubble (4+ cover save) with a Comissar and 4 Support Weapons.
An Ork warband of 16 Orks, 4 nobz, and 8 grotz with 6 stormboyz/kommandoes. This mob has doubled to a ruins/rubble place too.

That is too vague a situation to give a detailed answer. What SM forces do you have availible to deal with each threat? One unit, support , what? Hard to give an answer without details....
my 2cents,
