My two command HQ platoon would be fully kitted out, including all the additional chars and comminsaar, 2 powerfist upgraded, 3 meltas and a medi-pack. These would be the two hard hitting squads.

Then I'd have three command infantry platoons (kitted out again) with a carry on special weapon team. This leave 4 infantry squads in the remaining vend/valks for objective capturing and two on the ground.

I may include a priest w/ evis to fill the empty spots on the transports.

Now i don't know what to do with those two units on the ground... any ideas?

Your best bet for assault-y guard (which, don't be fooled, still isn't all that good) is blobbed Infantry Platoons with Power Weapon sarges (I'm talking 50-strong) with Iron Hand Straken within 12" for the Furious Charge. Give each squad flamers for the pre-charge scorching, and a few vet squads to melta vehicles.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/249320/860880.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/249320/860880.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/249320/860890.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/249320/860890.page GMT
Good for comedy value at your FLGS when you first pull it out. Thats about it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/249320/860952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/249320/860952.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/249320/861036.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/249320/861036.page GMT IG players!

I've written many army list's based around a hard hitting IG assault force but never really been happy with them other than over 300 Guardsmen bearing down on an opponent, and lets face it that wouldn't be fun to paint! (i'm currently painting 280+ IG figures inc tanks!)

I don't believe every army should be based around winning either, although beating an opponent is satisfying when done correctly the main aspect of our hobby is fun! i think an Assault IG force would be fun and surprising for an opponent! and the main plus point of such a force would be a gaming opponent/friend for life! which can only be a good thing, plus the modelling aspect of the force would be limitless which as a IG player i've found constricting as i've focused on size of force rather than character of the force!

I say let him go for it! and put up a project log so we can all marvel at the unique character of the force! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/249320/861283.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/249320/861283.page GMT ccw and priests for their furious-charge-replacement thing, with straken around. The vets turn into BS 4 orks.

And/or Send In The Next Wave conscripts. They're almost as bad as gaunts without number.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/249320/862121.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/249320/862121.page GMT IMO.
