Similarly, if you do take units of boyz, you can double up your FOC easily enough, 1 HQ and 2 Troops gives you an FOC so just spam a bunch of grots and take 6 Elite slots.
On comparing the codex to other books, IG have had a strong troops selection for a while now. And Space Wolves have one of the best Troops options (Grey Hunters) from among the power armoured armies. But Wolves are getting a new book soon and the IG were basically a rehash and stupid name change of the old IG book.
Good point. I need to sit down with the rule book too and read through that again.
