Hello everyone, my name is Andrew- though, all of you can call me Cooommissair Macera. I'm new into Warhammer40k and am going for a Mechanized Imperial Guard Army. Currently, I have 1 Leman Russ Vanquisher, 20 Imperial Guardsmen, and 1 LasCanon. HOWEVER, I'm personally torn, if I should go for CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED or, the legendary Cooommissair Yarrick. Creed, allows me to use 3, THREE, Voice of Command Abilities(not mentioning a Vox-Caster)... So theoretically, I can use 'First/Second Rank Fire', and 'Take Aim', which can obliterate SPEEESH MARINES with overwhelming fire. On the Contrary, Yarrick seems to be a legend with CQC, allows him to even take a Power Sword hit with his Power Shield, and with 'Hero of Hades Hive', Re-roll all 1's.

IDK, I personally think that Creed is better, but Yarrick might be a slightly more powerful choice? Regardless, it feels nice to introduce myself to the community!

Welcome!

My feeling has always been to make your own characters and count them as appropriate (with the right weapons and so on).

But honestly I'd say get a lot more bodies before worrying about a commander. Make the cake before picking the cherry to go on top.

Hi,

Welcome to Dakka

Welcome to the forums!

As far as your HQ choice, I'm more of a 'rule of cool' kind of player. Nothing wrong with Creed but I think Yarrick is cooler. IMO if you go Yarrick, he'd be good with a conscript blob and some supporting artillery/armour. Otherwise I'd go Creed and full APC/tank playstyle.

Hi there, and welcome to Dakka.

I would say take Creed. I play an infantry IG army, and for me, having Creed and 3 company commanders, gives me a veritable TON of orders to give to my humble guardsmen.

I would also shorten the barrel on that LR, make it a normal battle cannon. The reason? Vanguisher fires only 1 shot. The battle cannon fires d6 shots, 2d6 if it holds still.
