OK, so thanks to Digits with his Tale of a couple dozen gamers thread, i have been thinking about painting and modelling some 40k again.

I am thinking of going Guard (again, but i do love the guard) and going for a WW2 US Rangers theme, lots of infantry, lots of shooting, fearless (kind of), you get the picture.
Incidentally, if you don't know the unit, the best example i can give you without telling you to WIKI would be to watch Saving Private Ryan, as Tom Hanks character is a captain of the US Army Rangers.

Anyway, i am not looking for a super competetive tournament style list, just one that give a good theme, will look fantastic (this army is mainly going to be a display one, lots of cool conversions and stuff) and be played for fun occasionally, but will allow me to write decent background for it. Writing is something i want to start again.

let me know what you think of this list so far.

That would be a great unit to model. Lots of ropes and climbing gear would look fantastic on a bunch of Guard.

Now that you mention it, I might just do that :D

Does the list look ok? and is it big enough at 1k points, cause i know a lot of people (arseholes mainly) who refuse to play less then 2k! (incidentally these same gits only play Deathwing or other small elite armies, unlike myself and a couple of others who play Guard, Orks and Nids respectively and have to purchase loads of models in order to field said points!)
I prefer to play 1k - 1.5k points myslef, that way it dosent take ages to play a normal game.
