Adeptus Mechanicus Detachment Omicron 4 Kappa

The local shop Gaming Undergound in High Point NC is having a Warhammer 40k tournament on 19Jan13. I have decided to bring out the Adeptus Mechanicus Imperial Guard for the day. I ran through a bunch of lists, some meaner than others but decided I wanted to play with something cool, win or lose. I went through the collection and went with models I dig and that I haven't seen put on the field at the shop. I haven't played in a tournament in quite a few years but no time like the present.

So this is my working list at the moment. the Majority of the models

Is it a gimmick list, it depends on your point of view. Is it optimized for total domination, I don't think so. Is it going to have problems against certain lists, yep.

I still have some points to use and I am thinking about splitting the Griffons into two squadrons of one instead of one squadron of two. I was planning on the two armored sentinels to have plasma cannons and using  my Rogue trader Imperial Guard land speeders but they were disqualified by the Tournament Organizer. It is still a work in progress because I have already came up with some minor changes just reading it here..
