Are there any formations out there for an Imperial Guard Infantry 'Company' or Imperial Guard Mechanised Infantry force. The closest I have found is the Stormshield (cant remember the name now) Platoon that also includes sentinels, which I don't really want, would prefer pure infantry.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure that's the closest you'll get.

Mont'Ka / the Cadian book are the sources for any "useful" formation you might want. Sanctus Reach also has an Ok Tank formation... but that's the exhaustive list as far as I know for non-apocalypse.

I mean, you only need one Sentinel per like, 55 or 60 dudes. Make a counts-as Ogryn model with an Autocannnon, or something. Big Infantry.

Are you avoiding a CAD/Allied detachment because you don't want to take an HQ? It's literally just a CCS (60 points) and a platoon or two. Or are you looking to get free stuff?

That's what I'm using, I just wondered if there was anything else out there (wont deny I was wondering what alternative special rules there may have been).

The only one I know is the Emperor's Shield (which I think is the one you're talking about) that includes a maxed infantry platoon and a sentinel to get move through cover and an order that makes you count as stationary.

The only mech one I know of is 3 chimera vets, a chimera CCS, and a hellhound. Preferred enemy against units within a certain distance (I forget) of objectives. Maybe 6"?

Both are in Mont'ka.
