Ragner Blackmane Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I wasn't sure if this should be posted here or in the army lists section so if it's wrong then sorry. Anyway I have a battle coming up against Imperial Guard, 1500pts. And I have seen his army before and think it would help to get guidance from my fellow Brothers. So I hope you can assist me on making my army and then I will pt the army list when you hae given me guidance. THANKS :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176066-help-please/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forseti Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 If you've seen his army before please list what sort of things he likes to take, like is he infantry based, or armoured company? It's hard to give tips with no info ^^ I'd feel bad telling you to take a lot of lascannons if hes infantry and whirlwinds if hes armoured ;p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176066-help-please/#findComment-2080823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraWolfennFan Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Greetings. I too would like to see the rough composition of his forces. I'll keep an eye on this thread, and will be happy to join the discussion!!

Valerian Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 It would also help to know what models and units you have available to choose from for creating your army. There really isn't much point in fellow Wolves making recommendations for an army comprised of units that you don't have.

Ragner Blackmane Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Well sorry foe not posting it but from what I saw after my match he had lots of heavy weapon teams about 3 tanks, a basilisk or 2 and a few units of guys Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176066-help-please/#findComment-2080901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forseti Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 If he only has 3 tanks Whirlwinds are a great option, pretty much killer vs anything else he can field. OBEL scouts with a melta and a couple of plasmas will worry his tanks. If he has a couple of basilisks you'll definitely want either drop pods or rhinos for your troops, with luck (your bad/his good) he could wipe out whole squads easily if you leave them in the open. I think they have a min range of 36" though, so try and close into that range ASAP. Heavy Flamer/Heavy Bolter Land Speeders will also cause him some stress.

Grimfoe Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 If you have the model, or the time to get it, I think scouts in a Land Speeder Storm might be an option as well. Outfit the scouts with a melta gun, plasma pistols and melta bombs. Give the storm a multi-melta or an assault cannon. You speed across the board and disembark and fire on two tanks. With luck, you could destroy both. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176066-help-please/#findComment-2080908 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Stromclaw Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Something thats also helpful against tank heavy armies is a drop ven dread w/ tank hunting weapons. I've only used it in three games so far but twice it vaped my opponents hammerhead before it could get off a shot.

Toasterfree Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I would also add that the more dakka that you have on your vehicles/dreads the better. twin, twin autocannons would be nice for the baskis and troops. long fangs with tank busta, and AP weapons (two las a missile and a HB) i give each of my packs a melta, or a flamer just for flexibility Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176066-help-please/#findComment-2081362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
