It's actually kind of wonderful when I run my Valhallans. People will pour all their fire on the Leman Russes and Basilisks while the Guardsmen just advance 6" every turn, FRFSRF the living hell out of everything they've got, and cause a death from a thousand cuts. They're seriously the biggest threat in my army, not the tanks.

Imagine what you would feel hearing a Tau player complain about their army right now.

Because that's what I feel when I hear IG players complaining about their units.

To be fair, there does seem to be quite a few larks in the IG codex. Infantry Platoons aren't really one of them, though.
