91st Steel Legion Infantry Regiment

The 91st Steel Legion is coming together quite nicely.  A post Christmas reinforcement is going to round out the mighty ranks of the "Desert Vultures" for future games.  I need to do the following to ready this unit for its final unveiling in parade formation:

-I need to make a standard bearer with the Desert Vulture flag.
-All of my Chimeras need the Armageddon transfer on the right side to denote combat veteran status.
-Lastly, I need to make a display board for my army.

I want to name a few of the models in my army after the characters that survived the Battle of Helsreach.  I really want a female Steel Legion trooper to represent the Liaison chick from the book.  I will pass on trying to make a Black Templar army.  I am not interested by Space Marines of any type.  I am hoping that the rumored release of some new Imperial Guard models includes a plastic Hydra kit.  That would round out the 91st Steel Legion very nicely.

My current list is as follows:



HQ
CCS with chimera, 4x plasmaguns, and a plasma pistol*

Troop
Veteran squad with chimera, 3x plasmaguns, and a heavy bolter HWS*
Veteran squad with chimera, 3x plasmaguns, and a heavy bolter HWS*
PCS with chimera, 4x grenade launchers, melta bomb*
Infantry Squad with chimera, grenade launcher, heavy bolter HWS, and a melta bomb*
Infantry Squad with chimera, grenade launcher, heavy bolter HWS, and a melta bomb*
Infantry Squad with chimera, grenade launcher, heavy bolter HWS, and a melta bomb*
Infantry Squad with chimera, grenade launcher, commissar with power sword, and a melta bomb
HWS of 3x Missile Launchers*
HWS of 3x Missile Launchers*

Elite
Stormtrooper squad with 2x flamers in a Valkyrie
Stormtrooper squad with 2x plasmaguns in a Valkyrie

Fast
Valkyrie with multiple rocket pods and heavy bolters
Valkyrie with multiple rocket pods and heavy bolters
3x Scout Sentinels with missile launchers*

Heavy
3x Basilisks*
3x Manticores
3x Leman Russ Battle Tanks
3x Leman Russ Demolishers

*-Always included in lists.

All other units are optional depending on what I need for each battle.  I think I might make my Leman Russ tank unit its own regiment.  For Apocalypse games that is.  I'm all pumped up for a game now.
