With the new imperial guard codex coming out I was looking for some opinions of mixing in SOB along with DH as allies.. What are some of the combos you can come up with?


Also, while I am familiar with Daemonhunters I am not familiar with Sisters of Battle and their special rules so I do not know what sort of Orders and their special "faith" points would work.

Seems there could be some good combos with Faithpoints and Orders.


What are the benefits? Well, flat out guard are cheap in fact armour is cheap as well. Here is a similar list I was thinking of for 1750 - 2000 points


Command Squad w/ Creed, Astropath, Officer of the Fleet, Medic, Plasmaguns, Chimera

Inquisitor w/ Mystics, PsychicHood


Elites

10 Man Psyker Battle squad w/ Chimera

10 Man Terminator Squad

Troops

PCS , camocloaks; sniper rifles
2 10 man squads w/ Autocannons w/ Commissar

Veteran Squad w/ Harker 3 Meltas , Demolitions

10 man Greyknight Squad (inside Valk)

10 man Greyknight Squad (inside Valk)

Fast Attack

Valkyrie
Valkyrie

Hellhound w/ Multimelta
Hellhoundw/ MultiMelta
w/ Scout because of Creed


Just a basic idea I have not really studied and sat down to figure out points.


I am actually more interested in working SOB and Imperial guard or possibly a Rogue inquisito w/ Daemonhosts etc... I wonder if daemons can take orders.....

Give the Grey Knights Psycannons they work especially well against Daemons and Necrons as neither get their invulnerable. The Nightbringer/Deceiver will die so easily. Have an Exorsist or Basilisk. if it is for apocalypse have an assasin squad with six vindicares instead of the snipers.

Adding 1-2 squads of sisters to the battle line to stiffen it up could be an option. Or something like 11 sisters with flamer/heavy flamer sister superior with evicerator and an attached cannoness with evicerator. Put them in a valk and use them as a counterattack force. Even a few 10 man squads with meltas/flamers and the BoSl for bolstering a gunline could be useful.
