[2000] - Imperial guard - HQ ideas

Green flame — GMT

My current imperial guard lost includes 5 company commanders, however with the rules restricting units to three data sheets I cannot field but three, I need five to make up my four battalions. I plan on replacing one HQ slot with an inquisitor but other than that I’m not sure what to do with the last slot my list is as follows
1x company commander with powerfist and plasma pistol and the armor of grav toshenko
4x company commanders with Boltguns
1x primaris psyker
1x tank commander plasma sponsons with lascannon
1x lord commissar
16x squads Gaurdsmen plasma gun + boltgun
1x astropath
1x enginseer
1x atlas recovery vehicle
1x ogryn body guard with bulgryn plate, maul, slab shield
Shadow sword double HB sponsons
So any ideas?

The Big FAQ also removed as an allowable faction for a detachment so your inquisitor is out of luck.

3 commanders, tank commander, primaris and lord commissar is still 6. To get to 8 I would personally just run 2 more primaris psykers unless you really want tank commanders.

I agree with above. I'm running a primaris psyker as my only hq at the moment and I reckon a load of them would be lethal considering the low points cost

Also you say you're running 4 battalions but currently the same rules that limit you to no more than 3 of a unit also limit you to 3 detachments

This. A lot of tourneys limit you to 3 detachments in addition to the rule of 3 on datacards.

I would do 3x co Cmd & 3x Tank commanders ( or pask as a substitute for 1). Or if you want to keep with the infantry theme then the Primaris pyskers are probably the way to go, just take 3 of them.
