    My mech IG army got smashed by a BT army a few months ago. Dude took tons of terminators with cyclone launchers and put tank hunters on them. Ouch. Your codex definitely has a power build or two.

    This was my interpretation, too. Makes it slightly less nuts.

    Then again, why would you even bother building a GK army? Mechanized acolyte spam looks like the dominant strategy by a mile.

    Using codex IG, you can mix and match.

    IG can do it against bad lists, but it's not a viable strategy for them in a competitive environment. Too easy to hide in cover or out of LOS to dodge the worst of most of the weapons.
