Lunar Centurion Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hello again! I've been dipping my toes in and out of the Guard puddle, but I think I've finally decided. I want to start with a somewhat hybrid force between platoon and mech. Here's what I was thinking to buy: Codex: Astra Militarum Cadian Defense Force 2x Militatum Tempestus Scions (To be carapace vets) Leman Russ Tech-Command (When it comes out) Cadian Command Squad (Or a Lord Commissar) Sentinel I think that takes me to 750? As you can see, I don't have the Codex yet. I'd run the Vets in the Chimera, have the platoon sit back and hold objectives, while the two Russes tried to clear out hordes. The Sentinel would probably have a lascannon, and try to pop transports and important tanks. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amayasu Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It might be worth waiting a few weeks - with the new campaign book coming it's (strongly) rumoured that Guard will be getting some love, and that might say your buying decisions.

WarriorFish Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 There's no reason to hold off, nothing the book can do will alter starting a Guard force up. Troopers and Russ tanks will always be needed ;) Your list should be 750 no problem with upgrades and it'll be a good start to your Guard army :tu: A single Sentinel isn't great though, better to have a couple usually so I'd take him as a Scout Sentinel maybe with an autocannon and outflank him to cause some mischief. Have you settled on a colour scheme as well as a list style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Centurion Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 For list style, it's still up in the air. Hopefully, I'll be able to go to my FLGS and pick up the codex, so that should help. Colors-wise, I was thinking white plates, dark grey fatigues, and light blue lenses. In place of a sentinel, how's taking a heavy weapon team with lascannons? (Or maybe autocannons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 HWTs are good for adding some fire power, but they limit your squads in how they can work. Not an issue if you plan to have your Platoon hang back to hold ground and lend fire support. Your colour scheme sounds good, is the plan a snow or urban theme?

Lunar Centurion Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 I was thinking an urban theme, and yeah, the HWT teams and the platoon would probably hang back and hold stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
