Codex: US Forces:

Please Note: I am not American, all the units are supposedly correct and are the result of a lot of research, please be aware they may not be quite precisely correct, especially with the National Guard unit.

As the Storm of Storms approaches and Warp Storms open throughout the Sol system, the armed forces of the United States are among the first to become aware of the threat. In preparation for whatever enemy may come out of the Maelstroms the US mobilises all Army, Navy, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard forces to prepare for the imminent threat while retreating out of all previous warzones to concentrate their defences. Martial law is declared and all able men and women are called to fight in their country's defence, whether they want to or not. With over one hundred million personnel, twenty thousand aircraft and one thousand ships at their command, the US stand one of the best chances against the nightmares of the forty-first millennium.

Special Rules:

Guided: A weapon with this special rule gains +1 to it's Ballistic Skill when fired and the Ignores Cover Special Rule. With weapons that also have the Blast type, the template only scatters D6" instead of the usual 2D6". However if a One is rolled to hit, the controlling unit may not fire another weapon with the guided type next turn.

Thrust Vectoring: By angling the nozzles of an aircraft's engines, an aircraft's maneuverability can be greatly improved, allowing much greater ability in dogfighting and ground attack capabilities. A flyer with the Thrust Vectoring Special Rule May pivot up to 180° in the assault phase and move up to 18" in addition to it's normal movement in the movement phase.

Seems a bit good in general per my interpretation of the background.

Modern day soldiers might possibly have better BS than 40k guys, depending on how good you think Imperial training is, but better Initiative seems very unlikely, as does WS which is better than conscripts; modern day soldiers have pretty much no serious training for hand-to-hand fighting. Leadership also seems very high; the Imperial guard are highly indoctrinated fanatics who are expected to face alien monsters and supernatural entities, taking utterly horrific casualties. The US army are nothing like as motivated as that.

Weapons seem generally more long-ranged and powerful than I would expect. Assault rifles shouldn't really be better than autoguns, modern pistols are unlikely to be better than S 2, S 4 for 7.62 NATO seems really high, the M2 you have is way better than a heavy stubber, even though the most common heavy stubber design is blatantly meant to be based on the M2, etc. Body armour is also suspiciously good, although that might be a bit more plausible.


The M320 grenade launcher stats seem odd. I see no reason to make it one use or to not allow it an anti-armour grenade. I'd call it 'heavy' rather than 'assault' though, given that it needs to be manually loaded and carefully aimed.

You seem to hand Shrouded out pretty casually. I wouldn't really consider it appropriate for anything which doesn't have actual science-fiction style cloaking or magical invisibility, especially not stacked on top of stealth. Stealth is plenty for special forces.

Your SEALS are hilariously over-the-top. Relentless? More effective than Space Marines?

Your vehicles seem more realistic, possibly even a little underpowered in the case of the Abrams.

Your Harrier seems to have Vector Strike. Did you mean Vector Dancer or Thrust Vectoring (which seems like a pointlessly overpowered version of Vector Dancer you didn't actually use for anything)?

Power of the Machine Spirit seems like an odd choice for the Abrams. I'd expect it's gun to be Heavy rather than Ordinance too, so it can fire on the move. If you want more penetration, give it AP 1 or a slightly lower S with Armourbane. Not sure why it's AP round has the Blast rule.

On the plus side, the points costs seem fairly well balanced for the capabilities you have given them and it seems the overall play style should encourage 'realistic' tactics (i.e. infantry hugging cover and shooting a lot, vehicles being highly mobile).

I love this, i will actually build this army with my ig stuff and anything i can get at hobby lobby, this is so amazing.

The US would ally with the Necrons long before it'd ally with China?

This is actually pretty close to a project I was going to do.

For suggestions I'd make the M256 S8 AP2 Armorbane rather than S10. Yes that makes it as good as a vanquisher cannon but considering how primitive IG main guns are I think that fits. Rather than POTMS make the Abrams gun Heavy and give it fast (to represent the speed and accuracy of the main gun at said speeds)

The national guard are way off, they are really a reserve for the army, and have the same level of training. That is from my understanding, i am by no means a military expert, if someone has experience in this area please correct me.

Why not a militia unit with ar 15s and infiltrate and hit and run, that is kind of the usa's shtick after all, thosr tactics won us our independence, no offense to any non us people especially the British, please dont get angry for my reference to the revolutionary war (what do you guys call it anyway? I have always wondered about that)

This was pretty good =P
They will ally with Unknown Space forces, but not with the Chinese or Russians...

More seriously, i'd also suggest the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit as LoW. Just like Thunderhawk > Tau Manta

A very good idea that has been transformed into a complete army list

However, there are still some points that (I think) have to be changed:

About Wargears, they are somewhat over the top:

-The Guide special rule: Drop Ignore Cover.

-M14 DMR: Should be Assault 1, and with the range of 30". It is DMR, not specialized sniper rifle.

-The M110 Sniper System: for 5 pts, you can snipe across the board, re-roll failed to Wounds rolls, and with the superb BS of the S.E.A.Ls, one squad of them can wipe out ICs and MCs with ease.
I suggest dropping its range to 48" (on par with Tau Longshot Pulse Rifle) and raising the cost to 10ppm. Also IRL the M110 has nowhere the range of a tank gun.

-M249: Should be Salvo 2/4 with Pinning. An Assault Cannon with a tremendous ROF is still only Heavy 4.

-AT4: Drop the range to 36", and make it Assault 1, but with a special rule preventing the user from assaulting after shooting. Because IRL the AT4 has nowhere the range of a tank gun.

-FGM-148 Javelin: Drop the range to 72" (equal to most table top battle tanks) No Armourbane, because with the Guide special rule they are nearly guaranteed to one-shot most vehicles.

-Make the M240 a Heavy Stubber (Ap6, Heavy 3).

-M2: Heavy 4, 48" Rending ? No. Make it 36", S5 AP6, Heavy 3.

About the units:

Most of your infantry units have I4. Remember they are only normal, unaugmented human, therefore should have I3; there is no way they can match SM in speed.

Infantry unit's composition is somewhat strange. Maybe in real life is the way they work, but i think you should bring them somewhat in line with other Codex Armies.

-For the Infantry Squad, I suggest changing their basic composition to 4 Infantry, 1 Staff Sargeant, and add the option to add 5 additional models to the squad.
-The Army Rangers and S.E.A.Ls are the same above, minus the Sergeant

The BS of the basic squad is somewhat high IMO. I think changing them to BS3 is more approriate, and of course with a price drop. And only one in five model can replace their M4 with M249. The cost for M14 DMR should be 5 points

Heavy Weapon Squad should have BS3, and drop the option for M249. Drop point cost for FGM-148 Javelin to 25 points, for M240 to 5 points.

National Guard unit can take M249 for 5 points, and AT4 for 15 points.

The S.E.A.Ls, Oh God the S.E.A.Ls. While their point cost is balance for their capabilities, I suggest changing them for fluff reason. No Shrouded, and no Relentless, and drop their cost. Drop their I to 4.
If you insist on keeping Relentless, I suggest equipping them with the Future Force Warrior system, which grants them Relentless and 6+ FNP. And of course HQ units can also take the FFW system. Raise the point cost for M110 to 10 ppm, and drop the cost for M240 to 5 ppm.

The Army Rangers should be Troop, and only 3 models can take special weapons. And drop their WS to 3. And their point cost, too. In that way they can act as IG Veterans equivalent. Raise the point cost for M14 DMR to 5ppm; drop the cost for M240 to 5ppm.

All the price changes for wargears above are use with the modified versions in the beginning of my post.

That'll be all, for now. Keep up the good work. (And use the spoiler tag, to make it easier to read )

The US has guerrila forces nowadays ? It's strange to say the least.

Not really but where i live everybody has a gun, if junk went down they would be the first in line to be a militia.
