Hi!
I came across a decent pile of minis the other day, and its all catachans, cadian kasrkrin (storm troopers) like 6 ogryns, and the kicker is 4 chimeras, 1 leman russ and 1 demolisher. Im pretty sure I have enough bits to make 3 sentinels.

Id love to use this stuff, even though the codex is changing soon.

Can anyone please post a 500pt and 750pt list to start with? Im totally new to guard, but I think Id like to try them at least once or twice before I go back to Tau/Space Marines/Orks.

Help!!

Honestly, I'd hold on to them for a month and a half until the Guard codex comes out.

Yea right now if you wanted to run a complete catachan list the only "tanks" you can have are your sentinels also you cant take stormtroopers. Also with the new true line of sight it would be pain to run them

And only take flamer /hvy flamer for anti infantry, and melta gun for anti tank!

no los in jungle for anything else!

So, with the TLOS rule, doesnt the clear shooting 12" through cover kind of negate that?

I know it's crazy to consider digging something out before the new codex, but I was just feeling guilty about this box full of mini's Ive never used, lol. Plus! Guard Tanks are awesome!

Any other advice?
Thanks!

I would say that the 12 inch thing no longer exists.

The Kroot have the same rules in the Tau codex and the Tau FAQ says to ignore that section of their rules.

Well, I guess they're all going back in their little brown box and getting put back into the dark corner from which they were found!

Maybe Ill just keep working towards the Greater Good, and consider that my shooty army that runs opposite my Orks.
If anyone has anything else to add, please do!

Thanks everyone!
