For example, infantry and I assume that includes chimeras are one part. Leman Russes are another part, and artillery is another.

Thanks for your time.

Scouting and city fighting I'd say as well]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/464030/4555387.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/464030/4555387.page GMT Imperial Guard Fluff Question

True, there's a lot of individual opinions regarding this out there, and the studio material does give some leeway as to how it can be interpreted.

FFG's new RPG "Only War" came up with the concept of these already mentioned "Hunter-Killer regiments", that combine armour and infantry assets for quick and dangerous strikes somewhat away from the main battle lines. Not exactly what one might expect from traditional Guard, but still a valid interpretation.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/464030/4555700.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/464030/4555700.page GMT Re:Imperial Guard Fluff Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/464030/4556759.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/464030/4556759.page GMT Imperial Guard Fluff Question
I don't know about the hellhounds, though. They don't really explain that all that well. My guess was always that they were more or less kit-bashed in the field, where commanders took chimeras they already had and ordered more armor welded to the sides and an extra-egregious amount of promethium added for the turret heavy flamer.

If we'd go by GW sources, the Hellhound is an AdMech byproduct of the Sororitas Immolator tank. Any products yielded from researching the Icaria-STC (recovered by a Missionary Morben the Devout during a Ministorum crusade in M35) was supposed to remain exclusive for the armies of the Ecclesiarchy, but a couple centuries later the Mechanicus cheated and produced a variant of the cannon, putting it on a Chimaera chassis and selling it to the Imperial Guard.
The two organisations love deceiving each other, but always take great care that any breach of contract either cannot be proven or was not actually a breach but just very fine print.

The story was in some WD; I believe it was the one with that huge article about Rhinos.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/464030/4559878.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/464030/4559878.page GMT
