I'm planning a new project for next year and the Highland parts by Victoria Lamb have me thinking about an assault based guard army made up entirely of Infantry and Cavalry.

At the moment I'm using the Death Korp Siege list so I can get WS4 for everybody and a Standard in every blob.

The fluff of the army is vague but I want to restrict it to being a scouting force that ditches tanks and artillery because they can't maneuver in the mountains of their homeworld so the heaviest weapons in the force will be heavy weapon teams.

HQ:
Company Command Squad (Carapace, Regimental Standard, MoO) - 125
Deathrider Command Squad (Standard, Melta Bomb) - 120

Troops:
Infantry Platoon A:
PCS (2xGrenL) - 50
PIS (Flamer, Melta Bomb, Standard, Commissar) - 120
PIS (Flamer, Melta Bomb) - 70
PIS (Flamer, Melta Bomb) - 70
HWS (3xLasC) - 95
HWS (3xLasC) - 95
HWS (3xLasC) - 95

Infantry Platoon B:
PCS (2xGrenL) - 50
PIS (Flamer, Melta Bomb, Standard, Commissar) - 120
PIS (Flamer, Melta Bomb) - 70
PIS (Flamer, Melta Bomb) - 70

Fast:
Deathrider Squadron (Melta Bomb) - 175
Deathrider Squadron (Melta Bomb) - 175

The majority of this force could be built from 3 IG Battleforces combined with the Highland conversion kits and the Deathriders would be built from GW horses (£8.50 for 5) spare torsos I have lying around and the Rough Rider conversion kits again from Victoria Lamb.

One thing I like about this list is that the Death Korp heavy weapon squads have the Combined Squad rule making the Orders from the Company Command Squad extra efficient.
