Emprah2508 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Right I've said that I was going to start a scion army but my parents did not give me money for my birthday instead they gave me th cadian defense force thus I going to have a guard army and eventually supplement it with scions. Anyway I was thinking of an army outline as I haven't got the codex yet. This is It Command squad Auto cannon Plasma x3 Medic Chimera 2x veteran squad Auto cannons grenade launchers in one squad Flamers in the other Leman russ ( I'm not sure on the variant) What do you think?

Cap'm Heckus Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 That's to many weapons in your command squad. It has your colonel (who can't use a plasma gun) plus 4 vets. If one vet is made a medic he can't use a plasma gun either. an autocannon occupies 2 veterans leaving only 1 that can take a plasma gun. Using the cadian box set as a base I'd recommend something like: Command: medic, autocannon, plasma gun Vet squad 1: heavy flamer, 2x flamer, chimera Vet squad 2: 3x grenade launcher, autocannon Leman Russ (no sponsons, heavy bolter in front) The cadian battle force box only has 1 plasma gun, 1 meltagun, and 1 heavy flamer. There are 5 (I think) flamers and grenade launchers. You will has left over minis. Perhaps buy one of the cheap 5 man boxes to fill out a 3rd squad. Tactics: command squad and vet squad 2 guard back field objectives in cover. Vets squad 1 advances in chimera with the leman Russ (it can roll and shoot, snap shotting the HB). If you add scions, give them meltagun a and drop them in behind or near the enemy.

Emprah2508 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Ok but what about the last autocannon? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312898-new-imperial-guard-army/#findComment-4156751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spafe Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 If you buy the 5 man booster set then the 3rd autocannon can go in that squad (along with 3 of the 4 displaced guardsmen from the other autocannons joining the command and 2nd vet squad.

WarriorFish Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 The first steps on a long road to glory! :D Are you planning on running a Vet force or is this just your starting out list?

Frater Cornelius Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I would be careful with attaching weapons to Vets that readily. They usually work best with Plasmas and Meltas. Grenade Launchers and Flamers are for the Platoon. I would just use something sticky like blu tack until you have more dudes to make a Platoon and use different setups for Vets. It will safe you money in the long run. When dealing with a large army like IG, it requires a good amount of careful planning ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312898-new-imperial-guard-army/#findComment-4156972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismogrendel Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 So in the CDF box, there is 1 melta arm right? I'd hit ebay, try to catch 2 more melta arms on the cheap. Make a 10 man squad w/ 3 melta in that Chimera Melta vets in Chimera have performed well in every game I have ran them.Maybe run 1 autocannon in the command squad, run 1 autocannon in the 2nd vet squad?

Emprah2508 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 It's too late now I have a squad with double flamers and a heavy flamer but I haven't built the second squad yet the command squad has an auto cannon and a sniper I will be putting plasmas in the second squad and an auto cannon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312898-new-imperial-guard-army/#findComment-4157193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emicus Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Nismogrendel if you know an Ebay seller with cheap IG arm melta/plasma let me know. I've been looking for weeks.

spafe Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 2 flamers and a heavy flamer isn't a bad load out I don't think, and if nothing else you can always change that to the platoon squads load out when you get a platoon (lots of spec weapons that don't suffer from the bs being only 3!)

Emprah2508 Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 I still don't have the codex but j have a list plan and I have been given some extra models from a friend to fill out my 3rd squad. HQ Primaris psyker CCS vox,sniper, autocannon and master of ordinance TROOPS Vet squad 3x plasma guns autocannon Vet squad 2x flamer and heavy flamer in chimera with multi laser and heavy flamer Vet squad autocannon Heavy support Leman russ ( This can run as either the eradicator,vanquisher, exterminator, demolished or battle tank variants with fully interchangeable sponsons) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312898-new-imperial-guard-army/#findComment-4158208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismogrendel Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Looks fun. I have a love/hate with master of ordnance. My first game, he did some work vs death company. Lately, most games he misses 6 turns in a row :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312898-new-imperial-guard-army/#findComment-4158234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 If you're getting to this stage of building models you really need the codex to help you plan better but so far looking ok :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312898-new-imperial-guard-army/#findComment-4158559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emprah2508 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 I borrowed my mates codex for a game against some orks and my flamer unit with FRFSRF on the lasguns mullered his ork blob and the Three autocannons killed a warboss and a couple of ork trucks. Also how do I get images to appear in the post rather than just links?

Also how do I get images to appear in the post rather than just links? Upload the image somewhere (imgur.com, photobucket, your gallery, etc). When you go to post a pic, click the icon above the text entry box. It looks like a white bordered box, second row of icons about halfway across. Put the URL of your image in the window that appears. http://i.imgur.com/XP5zufE.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312898-new-imperial-guard-army/#findComment-4159624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
