But looks good, thats what I would go with. I would take more doctrines that are free, but that's it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232310/598872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232310/598872.page GMT Re:My first list of Imperial Guard (1500pts)

Take a JO with HO on him its 5 points less for the same thing. Get a standard bearer they are invaluable. I also like to stick flammers on the rest of his guard. Make the auto cannons lascannons.


3 Commisars
=120pts

Stick these in a box until the new codex comes out. Besides you need these points to get command squads to make you list legal.


Ogryn Squad (going to convert these from whfb: Ogre bulls which i have lying around in my closet, so hence they are on my list..)
4 Ogryns + Bonehead (5x25 +10)
=135pts

Place these with the commisars.... The new codex will make them playable but for now they are paper wieghts


Infantry platoon #1
• Infantry Squad (plasma gun, veteran) +76
• Infantry Squad (plasma gun, veteran) +76
• Infantry Squad (plasma gun, veteran) +76
=228pts

Thats a good start but you need a Command squad. So add a JO and 4 Flamers. Also for only 30 points you can have 3 heavy bolters... IMO thats good math


Infantry platoon #2
• Infantry Squad (plasma gun, veteran) +76
• Infantry Squad (plasma gun, veteran) +76
• Infantry Squad (plasma gun, veteran) +76
=228pts


same as above but add autocannons instead of HBs


Sentinel Squadron (filling in the points..)
• 1 Sentinel +35 w/ Armageddon pattern (lascannon) +20
=55pts

Nothing wrong with this. I like multi lasers because there cheap though.


Leman Russ Battle Tank #1
• Lascannon +15, Heavy flamers +10, Track guards +10
=175pts

Leman Russ Battle Tank #2
• Lascannon +15, Heavy flamers +10, Track guards +10
=175pts


Drop the heavy flamers. Why put them on a tank that has a 36" range? go for the 3 x HB its cheap and a nice standby when your turret gets blown off.
I find improved coms to be mandatory on one tank.

Leman Russ Demolisher #1
• Lascannon +15, Plasma cannons +20, Track guards +10
=195pts

Just fine the way it is


The one thing you are missing is 3 X 4 Drop Vets with 3 metlas, at 72 points a sqaud they are the bread and butter tank killer of IG. With improved coms they are even more reliable.



Hope that helps!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232310/598892.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232310/598892.page GMT Re:My first list of Imperial Guard (1500pts)

My preference is more plasma guns but since these are not always easy to buy you could use grenade launchers (cheaper but not as good against MEQ armies and Nob bikers).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232310/599237.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232310/599237.page GMT My first list of Imperial Guard (1500pts) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232310/599561.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232310/599561.page GMT My first list of Imperial Guard (1500pts) HSO and commissars suggest that you're trying to take advantage of the Leadership special rule. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232310/600173.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232310/600173.page GMT My first list of Imperial Guard (1500pts)
By your list I can tell that you used two doctrines(1 for ogryns and 1 for 1 for HW teams) so you have 3 left.
As I suggested take close order drill(free), and also add on iron discipline(5pts per officer you want assigned this). This will boost your leadership and initiative if your infantryare in base to base contact with each other and you'll hit most enemies first or at the same time in CC(most Eldar and DE have I5 so they go first).

Then you have one doctrine left, I've been criticized for taking carapace armor instead of cameleoline, but the options you have are numerous.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232310/600269.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232310/600269.page GMT Re:My first list of Imperial Guard (1500pts)
P.M wrote:Okay, I made some changes. And now the list looks like this, hopefully it's legal this time:

Command Platoon
• Command Squad:
o Heroic senior officer +70
o Heavy weapon team (Lascannon +25)
• Anti-tank support squad +35
o Lascannons +75
=205pts

You can shave 5 points of the Command Squad by using a JO with the Honorifica. Also, the 11 points of a Standard Bearer are one of the best investments a Guard army can make.

Ogryn Squad
4 Ogryns + Bonehead (5x25 +10)
=135pts

I love the models, I love the fluff, but Ogryn's are a 3rd Ed. unit in a very different edition of the game. They're fun in Apoc., but the sad truth is that they are a very poor choice for a 1,500 point take-all-comers list.

• Infantry Squad (plasma gun, veteran, heavy bolter) +86
• Infantry Squad (plasma gun, veteran, heavy bolter) +86

I agree with everyone who says you shouldn't use Veteran Sergeants. I also agree that you may want to look into buying some gear for those PHQ squads, either 4x assault weapons or at least 1x heavy weapon. Finally, while PG + HB is a good configuration for forward squads, you might want to give some of the rear squads a 48" range HW.

Leman Russ Battle Tank #1

-Track Guards are terrible and useless. Ditch them.
-I personally prefer 3x HB on a LR to 1x Lascannon, but it's a matter of taste.
