Hi there,
My name is Steven and I'm new to W40K I am currently collecting imperial guard and would take any suggestions on how to better improve my army.

Thanks.

Hi, welcome

I don't play IG, but I get stomped by them a lot.

Here's what hurts me:

-30 Guardsman behind an Aegis Defense Line with "First Rank, Second Rank" order vs. my infantry and a Commissar.

-Mortars (you may see more infantry in this new edition, and less transports)

-The command upgrade person who makes -1 to enemy Reserve rolls.

Hope this helps.

Thanks very much for the info and I've done a few battles myself so far and the "first rank fire second rank fire" order has been a lifesaver.

Hey Steven, I'm pretty new to Dakka too, but am experienced (in a way) with Guardsmen. If you need any help or advice/tactics, feel free to Pm me.
