Well, I have the Catachan Codex, however it uses the Imp. Guard Armoury, and what I need to know is if the points costs on all the items have changed so much that I'd need a new dex.

It's not a matter of points here it's a matter of rules. The Catachan codex is now worthless except as toilet paper. You have to take the jungle fighter's disiplene to get people who are pretty much like the catachan

Actually, GW put the codex as a free download online, so its still usable. I checked it out, and its the same as far as I can tell.

Mat

dont quote really big posts

Well first off I would worry about making your army street legal. Right now you have 1 HQ 1 Troops since each Platoon counts as a single troops choice. Where as the absolute minumum that you need to take is 1 HQ and 2 troops.
As for doctrines sharpshooters would be absolute gold in your fire support and anti tank squads. Hardened fighters would be a nice addition to your command squad and your Sentinals since you are going to be massively outnemubered in nearly all engagements with your army like this.
And since you need to make your army legal you could go with conscript platoons to make a cheap second troops choice.

Ah okay so now the army is legal. I personally don't like to take as many tanks as you but I stand by my suggestions and you could take a sacntioned psyker and give him a honorific imperialas and a force weapon to help you out with high wound troops.

I personally think it's funny that a IG officer with a certain metal can survive a Wraithcannon to-hit of a 6. He's half-way into the warp and still kicking.

my guard officer took on a termi captain and emperors champ and held out against both for like 3 turns

Codex Catachans still has a use, as the DW veteran options are still valid and are we forgetting the jungle fighting rules posted in the back? Oh wait, marines and eldar don't fight in the green, that's when they need to change their armour.

Ah yes the insanity of the imperial guard. I think my proudest moment was when a command section assualted a Carnifex. I think he danced with it for a good 3 assualt phases. And that leutinant didn't come anywhere close to running even when it was just him and his chain sword versus a living tank........ If we could have found the body he would be encased in the finest mass grave we made that hour.
