Hello All -

Here is the challenge: I need to build a 2000pt army list using IG for a campaign. This army's "theme" is escorting two super-heavy units to crush enemy strongholds.

Here are the two super-heavy units:

MACHARIUS TRIUMPHANT HEAVY TANK (365pt Custom Variant)
AV 14/13/12
2 Structure Points
Macarius Cannon (Primary Weapon Battle Cannon w/7" blast)
Twin Linked Lascannon
2 x Twin Linked Heavy Bolters

MALCADOR SAVIOUR (300pt Custom Variant)
AV 13/12/11
2 Structure Points
Battle Cannon
Lascannon
2 x Heavy Bolter

Combined these are 665 points leaving me 1335pts.
Here is the challenge: can anyone use 1335pts to build an army around these two heavy tanks?

(The army has to be legal. ie. 2 x troops, 1 x HQ etc. The two super-heavy tanks do not occupy any force org. slots.)

THis just screams to me "nothin' but Sentinels"

Armored Sentinels of various configurations.

Sorry, meant to be a little more specific: I have to build a legal army around them (1 HQ, 2 Troops etc.). But the two heavies do not take up force org. slots.

I was thinking Demolisher + Exterminator, 2 x Platoon & 2 x Hellhound?

Super heavies arn't generally allowed in the standard game, so I was going with Apoc style formations. Escorting the super heavies are then the objectives for a standard game?

That's right. Its for custom scenarios for a campaign. Not for an apocalypse game.
