2000pts Imperial Guard Armoured Company

Postby Spack » Wed May 11, 2005 10:20 pm

This was slapped together pretty quickly, so it might not work very well, but here goes.

Doctrines used:
Vanquisher
Conqueror
Exterminator
Laser Destroyer
Anti-Mag

The Anti-Mag is used on tanks that will be moving forward and the tempting Basilisk to reduce the chance of a deep striking or jump packing assault unit from using grenades (meltabombs, haywires, etc) to take them out too quickly - it gives you a save on a 4+ against these grenade attacks.

The Laser Destroyer is taken as an Ace so it benefits from the BS4. The BS on the Russ' is irrelevant for Battlecannons, and they are given mainly bolters to keep costs down, but a lascannon and heavy bolter sponson is chucked in on one for those odd moments where you want to move and fire more than 1 weapon.

The Conqueror is used to get in close and fire with it's S7 AP4 Blast cannon, 9 heavy bolter shots, and 3 stubber shots each turn. It could be swapped out for an Exterminator to do the same job though (although the Conqueror is slightly better against units that are tightly packed as it will get more than the max 2 hits of the Autocannons).

The Exterminator does basically the same thing as the Conqueror, but is more expendable as it's a cheaper tank.

The Demolisher has sponson plasmas to give it some longer ranged heavy firepower in the first turn, but heavy bolters might be better so points could be spent elsewhere.

Storm troopers are available to be deployed where needed to take out a stubborn unit. As they are mainly going to lay down rapid fire on a unit they don't need to be equipped with meltabombs (plenty enough tanks to deal with high armour), but the meltagun is there just in case (eg. to take out an indirect firing vehicle hiding behind terrain where you need to be more sure than the scattering Basilisk shot might miss).
