<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "New IG codex army ideas?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/7.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net New IG codex army ideas? IG book. maybe finish my SWAT army, despite the loss of camo. Looking at how long it takes me to finish armies these days that's probably a safe goal.

But the ideas... the ideas they keep coming!

Space Pirates of Space Piracy!
(name subject to change)

Yarrick as a hook-handed half metal pirate king.
Sly as his nasty mutant enforcer

Maxed valkyries or vendettas.
Heavy on vet squads (cadian/empire militia kit bash)
Heavy on penal legions
Psyker squad
At least one huge mob of slave/conscripts

Garish paint scheme, no tanks, maybe sentinels...

I am SO tempted.

What other ideas do people have in their minds?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/636464.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/636464.page GMT New IG codex army ideas?
You always read in the fluff about how there are heretics within and the like and that the Imperium often battles with traitors. Well, then, lets see 'em!

It'd actually be kinda standard though, I might go for:

Elysians. I loved the drop trooper idea, but now, thanks to the new Valkyrie kit (which is quite nice, IMHO), I can have all the drop troop fun I'd need]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/636623.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/636623.page GMT Re:New IG codex army ideas?

Hardened Veterans in Troops, with the nastiest kit loadouts I can think of, and wearing Carapace.

Chimeras for the basic Infantry.

Leman Russes in Heavy.

Flamers and shotguns for close quarters shot outs
No tanks or HW teams (pointless inside a tunnel ) but lots of hellhounds and termite APC

LatD list in Eye of Terror.
I already kitbashed Plague Monks, Guardsmen, Flagelants and Zombies as Conscripts/cultists (pics coming soon) and I'm going to use a Scavvi Gang I had still lying around as penal legion.
For normal platoons I'm going to buy all those cool Forge World traitor guard bodies and then I just need some idea how to make veterans (probably with a focus on stealth) and Storm Troopers, which will probably ride in a Valkyre.
And the Hellhound variant with the slime cannon is a must.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/637471.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/637471.page GMT New IG codex army ideas?

OMG Yes. This would rule. A supply/logistics army would also rule. You could have chimeras without passengers (cuz they're carrying food and stuff) and your troops could be those krieg guys standing at ease in line waiting for food.

I don't have the GS/scuplting chops to really pull it off as well as I imagine it so I'll prolly just make a traitor guard army full of mutant conscripts and chained psychers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/637609.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/637609.page GMT New IG codex army ideas?

Yeah, because that won't look stupid.

Let's just fill it with Huns, Taliban, and Redcoats too.

Maybe some Ogres or Hobbits, as long as we're at it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/637658.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/637658.page GMT New IG codex army ideas? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/637687.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/637687.page GMT Re:New IG codex army ideas?

- CCS can be in Carapace
- Vets can be in Carapace and carry shotguns - 4-5 squads of these can be the bulk of your troops
- Penal Squads - very fluffy!
- Rough Riders - model them on SM Scout bikes for bike cop goodness, or on horses for mountie-style police action.
- Banewolf - a chemical projector that incapacitates your foes? Sounds like a water cannon to me!
- Valks and Vendettas - here comes the SWAT Chopper!

While you'd be missing some of the fluffier Arbites aspects like Riot Shield/Power Baton troops lined up in ranks (although you can do a few with DH Crusaders) or Executioner Shotgun rounds, in a lot of ways, this codex is an Arbites player's dream come true!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/639521.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/639521.page GMT New IG codex army ideas?
That's it.

I can fit an entire below-average strength company in at 2k points. I will be doing so.

Guardsmen! ADVANCE ON THEM!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/639541.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/639541.page GMT New IG codex army ideas?
CCS

3 Platoon each with 3 squads of 10 men.

Comes out around 1K. That leaves a whole 1,000 pts to roll on with some tanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/639705.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/639705.page GMT New IG codex army ideas?

Choice of heavy support

Not a prayer of being competitive, but it would be a joy for people to play against - it's exactly contrary to what people expect the Guard to do, and gives them something worth hitting with their assault units. Not sure how to babysit that third Ogryn squad; maybe a Cannonness with Book would be preferable, or else an allied Sister's unit could pack the book along, and drive behind the Chimerae.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/639765.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234679/639765.page GMT New IG codex army ideas?

2,000pts. Pretty basic gak. Not sure how to grab objectives, but may drop a platoon and a bassie for a 3-melta Vet squad in a Vendetta with demolition and Harker.
