So I am trying a few new things here. I have never used Penal Legion before so I figured I would give them a shot. I am thinking of either Outflanking them so they can grab some objectives in my opponents backfield. It also helps them stay off the board longer to help them survive.

I am also trying out the Vanquishers. I normally run these as HQs in my Armored Battle Group list because they get BS4 and a Co-Ax Heavy Stubber to help them hit. They seem rather expensive in a normal Guard list without the option of these benefits.

The last thing that is new to me is the Bane Wolf. I normally use a Hellhound, but thought I would go with the Bane Wolf to try and fight off those Eldar Bikers. AP3 and Ignores cover should help eliminate them pretty quickly... the issue will be getting into position to use it against these fast units.

And Yes! Naked Vets. I always take Naked Vets because they are cheap. Also people don't see them as a threat so they normally live till the end.

Thoughts?

But i'd try it out and see how it goes.
