You don't have to take Storm Troopers if you take the Grenadiers in your Doctrines, it's in the new FAQ.
All good except for Hardened Fighters. Not a very useful doctrine. For less points you could take Cameoline which would help your game far more than Hardened Fighters ever will.AGhost said:1500 pts - Custom Doctorines
Doctrines:

Couple of things to remove:Command Platoon (HQ) - 255 Pts

Heroic Senior Officer
-Medallion Crimson
-Frag Grenades
-Krak Grenades
Medic (Veteran)
Lasgun; Medic
Standard (Veteran)
Lasgun; Standard Bearer
For 15 pts I'd upgrade them to Lascannons. And in case you're new to 40k, Rockets do not make very good anti horde weapons, often your opponent will space his men out so you can only hit one with the template anyway.Missile Launcher Squad (Anti Tank Squad)
Missile Launcher (x3); Lasguns; Hardened Fighters
Meltaguns are only any good in a suicide deepstriker squad, in which case the cost of the squad should be kept to a minimum. If you want ten strong squad then go for x3 plasma, x1 Lascannon.9 x Hardened Veterans (Elites) - 165 Pts
Lascannon; Lasguns (x5); Meltagun (x3); Frag Grenades; Hardened Fighters
1 x Hardened Veteran Sergeant
Close combat Weapon; Laspistol; Frag Grenades
You need some more anti horde weapons. I suggest switching the Rockets in this platoon for Heavy Bolters.Infantry Platoon (Troops) - 240 Pts
Command Squad
Laspistol and CCW (x4); Hardened Fighters; Iron Discipline
1 Junior Officer
Infantry Squad
Missile Launcher; Lasguns; Hardened Fighters
1 x Sergeant
Lasgun
Infantry Squad
Missile Launcher; Lasguns; Hardened Fighters

Find the points to upgrade these rockets to Lascannons, they will see you a lot further.Infantry Platoon (Troops) - 240 Pts

Grenade Launchers and Flamers are horrible wastes of the BS 4. I suggest you drop grenadiers altogether and make these Storm Troopers. Then give them infiltrate and two plasmaguns.6 x Grenadiers - 90 Pts
Hellguns (x4); Flamer (x1); Grenade Launcher (x1); Frag Grenades; Krak
Grenades
1 x Grenadier Veteran Sergeant
Close combat Weapon; HellPistol; Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades
Give them deepstrike and change that Grenade Launcher for a second melta gun and then you've got a perfect suicide deepstrike squad.4 x Storm Troopers (Elites) - 79 Pts
Hellguns (x2); Grenade Launcher (x1); Meltagun (x1); Frag Grenades; Krak
Grenades
1 x Storm Trooper Veteran Sergeant
HellPistol; Power Weapon; Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades
Rough terrain Modifications. Ask yourself exactly how many times do you plan to attempt charging through terrain. The answer should be zero. So it can be dropped.1 x Hellhound (Fast Attack) - 130 Pts
Inferno Cannon; Hull Heavy Bolter
Rough Terrain Modification
Hunter-Killer Missile
To use the Basilisk effectively, you should be placing it out of Line Of Sight where it cannot be shot at. Makes an Armoured Crew Compartment kind of redundant doesn't it?1 x Basilisk (Heavy Support) - 120 Pts
Earthshaker Cannon; Hull Heavy Bolter
Armoured crew compartment
Just drop the Terrain mods and the Rocket, then you've got a nice tank.1 x Leman Russ Battle Tank (Heavy Support) - 180 Pts
Battle Cannon; Hull Lascannon; Heavy Bolter Sponsons
Rough Terrain Modification
Hunter-Killer Missile

Yes, that's the way LD command squads should be used. If you want to shoot then get them a mortar.-So no shooty, and just keep them at the back?
No, Plasmaguns have the same range as Lasguns, which is double that of a melta-Also aren't plasma the same as Melta in terms of range?[/b]
With only 2 shots, I'd place Autocannons more in an anti light vehicle role. Heavy Bolters are definitely the better anti horde weapon.OK - but how about Autocannons?
Ah, fair enought then.- I keep the terrain mods because I am often fighting in Cityfight where I am constantly moving my tanks over rubble, hills and barricades. I wouldn't want the tanks to become immobile!
Unless there is some city fight rule (I don't play city fight) that helps shield the Bassie, it's probably going to get smoked very quickly because of its huge gun. For that many points I'd rather buy a hell hound or find about 35 more points and get another Russ.-A basilisk is not very good out of LoS because it can only shoot if it can see the target (unless I take indirect, but that only works over 36").
