Tournament Overt Paranoia 2014: The Army List

Time for the army list.  This tournament has the dubious honour of being my first event with the new Imperial Guard book and my last event of 6th edition 40K.  The limits on army list construction can be found in the link below, but the only one that really matters for me is that this is an 1850 point tournament.

Total killpoints: 18-21

Pros:
Lots of heavy weapons
Small army will only be able to hit a small portion of my army at a time
Several parts of my army can handle anti troop or anti tank duties as needed
Priest+squad of 20 infantry will take some time to kill in close combat

Cons:
Relatively low mobility
Easy to force morale checks on my weapon teams
Manticore is super innacurate.  It's barely done anything in the two practice games I've done
So many kill points
