IG before and only battled them once or twice. I was thinking a veteran squad w 3 Nade launchers in a chimera but have no idea what works/doesnt work for IG. Any help here would be greatly appreciated
PS I'm thinking of naming them the 501st Nocturnian Phoenixes; any good?

Meltaguns are generally better than grenade launchers, but in Kill Team that might be different. I know I enjoyed using the auxiliary grenade launchers on my Elysian Veterans before they lost that option, heh.

A kill team built around a veteran squad is going to have limited points available for upgrades if you take a chimera as well, so you'll be relying on the tank to do a lot of the heavy lifting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6678370.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6678370.page GMT Advice for an effective Imperial guard killteam? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6678666.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6678666.page GMT Advice for an effective Imperial guard killteam?
You can then have footslogging veterans for the rest of your points. GL are very versatile, I still like the plasmagun for the high strength, but since this is kill team, don't spam necessarily. Have a sniper, a grenade launcher and a plasmagun.

Oh, and the carapace armour upgrade might be worth it in low points game like that. Individual survival for 3 extra points can be nice.

Heck, I have a friend who keeps bunching his orks constantly, so flamers are a super weapon sometimes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6679118.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6679118.page GMT Advice for an effective Imperial guard killteam? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6682775.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6682775.page GMT Advice for an effective Imperial guard killteam? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6683220.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6683220.page GMT Advice for an effective Imperial guard killteam?
You get +1 cover and defensive grenades. If the enemy is within 8" you get a 5+ cover against shooting, and they no longer get +1 attack for charging. For my own games, I'm thinking the +2 cover bonus could be very powerful.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6683231.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6683231.page GMT Advice for an effective Imperial guard killteam?

heavy infantry (for guard) with speed and both the Tauros and Taurox have ways to deal with terrain.

Three vehicles? Wow, and I thought just adding Marbo was rough...

Although screamers will probably scrap the Sentinels very rapidly, the rest of the lists I've been up against won't like this. Sure, guard don't hit often, but in a skirmish game, any weapon that rolls three dice feels a bit OP. Most armies still get their saves though, so there's always that... Wouldn't you rather bring it down to 2 Sentinels but have them sport heavier equipment? The autocannon takes care of everything but marines.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6692082.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6692082.page GMT Re:Advice for an effective Imperial guard killteam?
Plasmas aren't reliable at BS3 and gets hot so don't bother.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6698137.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587356/6698137.page GMT
