<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "My Infantry Imperial Guard list at 1500pts"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net My Infantry Imperial Guard list at 1500pts IG list. Never made a IG list before but main thing I was wanting to do was gun down the enemy with sheer fire power and contest the objectives. I plan to put my Lord Commissar with the blob of Infantry, and use my HWT and SWS to sit on objectives. Vets are there to hop off the vendettas and just melta the dangerous targets. C&C is welcome as this is my first guards list.

The list seem ok for a normal game but I see almost any tau and elder list mowing through this. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6379118.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6379118.page GMT My Infantry Imperial Guard list at 1500pts hws and possibly 2 infantry squads to fit in some tanks.

Thanks for the suggestions Kinratha!

I really wanted to add in some Stormtroopers but damn are they expensive.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6379142.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6379142.page GMT My Infantry Imperial Guard list at 1500pts SWS and moving there weapons into you more Elite unit. Move the heavy weapon squads into your infantry blobs so they help out at range.

On adding tanks make sure to take at least 2 and that you specialize them for 1 task. Vanquisher for armor, exterminator gun boat for infantry or executioner for Elite units. And if all else fails the Demolisher can take on everything but flying units. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6379233.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6379233.page GMT My Infantry Imperial Guard list at 1500pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6379244.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6379244.page GMT My Infantry Imperial Guard list at 1500pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6379469.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6379469.page GMT My Infantry Imperial Guard list at 1500pts HWS are easily targetted, and rendered useless, better put your HW in the IS.

Same with special weapon squad, and if you want a squad with a strong killing potentiel : vet.
Vet full plasma, with demolition specialisation. You'll throw the demolition charge + 8 plasma shots. Even termies wont like it.

The lack of tanks might be a little handicap, you could always throw a basilisk and a demolisher, with just that, it'lltake "only" 300 points, while being able to bring the punch you may lack.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6379619.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6379619.page GMT My Infantry Imperial Guard list at 1500pts
I gave him a power sword to have some oomph should his blob get into cc, and the camo cloak to offer some decent saves. maybe I should give the blob camo cloaks as well to make them somewhat survivable.

Alrighty this is with the adjustments, and I have just 7pts left over. Do I need just 1 Vox for the blob or 1 per IS? If so then that saves me atleast 20points. if not then yea.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6380219.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6380219.page GMT Re:My Infantry Imperial Guard list at 1500pts

Thanks, that's good to know, that gives me an additional 20pts to finagle with.

The power weapons are just what a suggestion I was given by grrfrank but I could always drop them and keep the points if need be.

Damn though just realized I no longer have a way to get my 3rd vet squad close to melta stuff. Should I change their gear or find a way to get the third vendetta back in? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6382216.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6382216.page GMT My Infantry Imperial Guard list at 1500pts

I dont really like the power weapons on guards, too weak base stats to be able to deal signifiant damages... BUT, it can work.


When you've got a large blob, with multiple sergeants and possibly commissars in there as well, they add up in a hurry, with four attacks each on the charge. I'd definitely make them axes though, the initiative penalty doesn't make much difference as most units would strike ahead of you anyway, and the strength bonus and ap2 make a big difference. If you're running individual squads however, I agree it's not worth it. Like everything else with guard, it's the quantity that makes it work.

Anecdotal evidence I realise, but I've had a pair of dreadknights chopped up by a 50 man blob before. It takes a while, but they will grind through most things eventually, and with a commissar in there to make them stubborn and give them the reroll, they can lose combat every turn without breaking until you finally kill the enemy unit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6382522.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6382522.page GMT My Infantry Imperial Guard list at 1500pts hws/sws to get the 2 demolishers in.

Comes out to a grand 1453 points. which leaves me 47 pts to fiddle around with and equip that 3rd vanilla vet squad with something to make it shooty. any suggestions? I was thinking maybe an autocannon, and plasmaguns? maybe even give it a vox to receive orders better since it will be staying behind and more then likely holding objectives. or would i be better scrapping this 3rd vet squad and maybe having another platoon with a blob? ugh or maybe a aegis defence line to help with my blob.

sorry just at a loss as to what to do with my 3rd vets since they dont have a ride anymore]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6420966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570251/6420966.page GMT
