http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net HQ. I have read I believe some where on here and on 40k forums that CCP are generally the better hq choice? I would really like to use a commissar as my hq but not too sure what is good points wise. I plan on doing a 1500 pt list, this is a step up from my 750pt Space Wolves army.

Mind if I get any example lists so I can see what generally consists of a infantry heavy IG list? Also one last question Storm Troopers and Karskins look cool as hell, are they worth throwing into an army?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208154.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208154.page GMT Tbh mate storm troopers/kaskrin aren't worth it in this codex as they are too expensive for what they do. It depends on what kind of list you are after. If you want a mechanized list then veterans in chimeras and vendettas is the way forward tooled up with plasma guns and meltas. If you want infantry blobs then basic infantry platoons with auto cannons is the way to go. The Lord commissar is only useful for sticking in a bunched up infantry platoon of 20+ guys because of his buffs like stubborn etc. generally speaking a ccs is better as you can give them 4 special weapons and they have bs4 so you can load up on meltas and go tank hunting or plasma and go marine killing. A platoon command squad is a part of your basic infantry platoon and is a required squad for every infantry platoon you take. You must have atleast 1 pcs and 2 infantry squads per infantry platoon and they make up 1 troops choice. It's like a mini company command squad which leads the infantry platoon which can also load up on specials so 4 Flamers for you pcs is the way to go. Anything else I've missed shout at me haha.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208202.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208372.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208372.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208415.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208415.page GMT ccs as my hqs then? Is having 2 hqs ok at 1500pts]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208456.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208456.page GMT

Guard lists that are competitive/do well nowadays either run vets in chimeras or have large blobs of infantry and spam auto cannons, pretty much every decent guard list has 2 vendettas, as 3 twin linked lascannons on an av12 flyer with troop capacity for 120pts is insane.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208507.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208507.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208608.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6208608.page GMT

On a side note, there's no literal minimum distance for firing. You can shoot units closer than 24 inches, but you follow the rules for indirect firing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6210875.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6210875.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6211025.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560973/6211025.page GMT
