I will say up front that I am not a fan of IG mech spam.

Now that that is out of the way, I would say I like the list in general. The Devil Dogs will be your primary long range tank killers in the first turn or two, which is not bad. Later, though, they will be killing infantry if the survive (no player should let them live long enough).

You would be surprised at how few times your chimeras get to shoot their flamers, so you should keep that in mind when thinking of killing infantry. Orks are still really good, so you may want to have a back up plan for that and foot platoon Guard. Light infantry Guard will tear you to pieces in the late game. The Hydras should help mitigate Dark Eldar, but not mechanized Necrons.

Your Devil Dogs will make Paladins cry, but they will die fast to Psyfleman. You may want to make a Special Weapons squad flamers and a Veteran Squad plasma guns to cover all your bases.

All in all, it will be effective. It is semi-original, but may need minor tweaking. In the end, it is about your preferences.:cool:
