Morning all,
I've been using guard on & off for years, but never managed to get an army that 'works', either on the table, or the way that I think IG should play (in my head!).
I've finally managed to get the basics of an army together that I like, but would like some input from you IG vets as to what needs upgrading/dropping/replacing.
Here we are:
IG 1500pts
HQ: Colonel Maitland & retinue - 135pts
Company Command squad, 3 x melta guns
Chimera - multi-laser, heavy bolter (considering swapping HB for a heavy flamer)
Elite: Stormtroopers - 105pts
Stormtroopers squad (min sized) - 2 x melta guns
Troop 1: Platoon - 355pts
Platoon Command squad - 3 x flamers
Platoon squad 1 - autocannon, commisar
Platoon squad 2 - autocannon (combines with above squad)
Platoon squad 3 - autocannon, commisar
Platoon squad 4 - autocannon (combines with above squad)
Troop 2: Veterans - 155pts
Veteran squad - 3 x melta guns
Chimera - multi-laser, heavy bolter (considering swapping HB for a heavy flamer)
Troop 3: Veterans - 155pts
Veteran squad - 3 x melta guns
Chimera - multi-laser, heavy bolter (considering swapping HB for a heavy flamer)
Troop 4: Veterans - 170pts
Veteran squad - 3 x plasma guns
Chimera - multi-laser, heavy bolter (considering swapping HB for a heavy flamer)
Fast attack: Bane Wolf - 135pts
Bane wolf - chem cannon, heavy flamer, smoke launchers
Heavy 1: Hydra - 75pts
Heavy 2: Hydra - 75pts
Heavy 3: Basilisk - 140pts
Basilisk, heavy flamer, enclosed crew compartment
Total points: 1500
Total infantry: 83
Total vehicles: 8
KPs: about 17
I've not got any vendettas, and won't be buying any unless they will significantly improve the list, just so you know!
Any help appreciated...
