I would also like to also point out Die Hards. I belive I have been using both Die Hards and Iron dicipline together for a while now, and I love it. What both Experiment626 and Hairyyahoo have said is correct.

Cheap doctrines.

Reduncancy. If you are gonna take 1 tank, find the points and take 2. Redunancy helps when you need to keep the focus off certain units. People tend to get scared when you field tanks, some forget to really look at what will hurt their list.

Horde. IG is a horde army, however we specialize in shooting over other horde armies that are more assault. Utilize this, put as many heavy weapon's on the table as possible. 1500 points I try to field atleast 12 heavy weapon's. My personal fav is HB support squads (6 HB), Lascannon's in the line squads, and Autocannon's in the Platoon HQ's.

We really cant tell you how to play your IG. All we can do is give you our opinions of your list from our experience. I have not gone to a GT, but been to a number of RTT's. All I can say is that in tournaments what has hurt me in the past is mobility. Being able to claim mission objectives, moving a static shooting army is rough.
