I've been running rough riders for over a decade, I think one key thing to remember is that they are guard,they are gonna die and are cheap. So use them as a fire and forget weapon. At 100pts for a whole squadron even if they only kill a few marines they are pretty much making their points up and forcing your opponent to either waste shooting or assualts on them. Also remember we can now field 50 in a brigade,,,,(into the valley rode the,,,,,,,,,)

youre guard,we die standing,just need more meat for the grinder and deploy away from everything,think even grots consider us food.

I wouldnt see why they would faze them out.

Today I am working on converting a cultist heavy stubber trooper into try again bragg

When you proceed to burn and melta a imperial fists army off the table in one game and almost table a silver skulls army with all kinds of formation shenanigans via assualt troops,drop pod guys with grav guns and the big terminators with grav weapons,,,,lost the 2nd game but only via objectives,he only had 6 marines left when turn 7 ended

All Half Painted 1 shadow sword 12 leman russes 4 Basilisks

Today,I am feeling my inner tred head,,,and eye balling my armed company,,,and while I usually field a horde list,via a napoleonic themed guard army,my shadow sword is calling to me,so im working on detailing it abit,,,,is there still a viable armour corp we can field?

This was not today,but this past saturday,,my all foot guard went up against a multi formation guard army ,,,my 2 conscript squads held up 4 bulgran squads,killing several and a lord commisar,,,,,and my opponent also shot a nuke at me on turn two,it deviated, only hitting 8 troopers,,,mind you my guard army is close to 200 men strong,so it is a prime target for pie plates,,,,,he only killed 7,,the 8th actually passed his ld check

When the kids you are playing are so young you have to explain what sisters of battle are.lesigh I feel old now.

wow thats a nice looking army
