So I decided to see what could be done for an Imperial Guard Army that is basically not going to move and it's purpose in life is to defend a fortification. Objective games will be hard as all get outs but this is meant to be a fun list so I am not too worried, I'm sure I can convince my opponents to play some weird games or just hope I can place two objectives inside my defensive line. So no surprises hear I am using Stronghold Assault to get my fortifications which is the center point of the list;

Imperial Strong Point
-2x Aegis Defense Line with 5 Tank Traps, and Icarus Lascannon (front defense line)
-1x Aegis Defense Line bare (command/support line)
-2x Imperial Bastions with Quad Gun, and Searchlights
-1x Honoured Imperium

Imperial Guard Army

Company Command Squad
-2x Bodyguard
-Company Commander
-Master of Ordnance
-4x Veterans
-Camo Cloaks

Veteran Squad (Advance Line also manning Lascannon)
-Forward Sentries (3+ cover save behind line)
-3x Grenade Launchers
-Heavy Bolter Team

Veteran Squad (Advance Line also manning Lascannon)
-Forward Sentries (3+ cover save behind line)
-3x Grenade Launchers
-Heavy Bolter Team

Veteran Squad (Bastion defenders also manning Quad Gun)
-Grenadiers

Veteran Squad (Bastion defenders also manning Quad Gun)
-Grenadiers

Leman Russ Executioner (Support line, I wanted at least one tank and some decent anti infantry)
-Camo Netting (3+ behind Aegis Defense Line)
-Plasma Cannon sponsons
-Hull mounted Heavy Bolter

Basic tactic is line up the front lines in an unbroken chain with the tank traps in front of them, one bastion on each flank, the command/support line will plant itself behind this line with the Honoured Imperium between the two lines attempting to give it's benefits to all three defense line units. From their shoot like crazy and pray to the dice gods.
