Hello all,

 

This is where I'll be collecting all necessary info for my homebrewed Imperial Guard army: Rho Company, Forty-Second Regular Endowment, Cyril VIII.  I will be editing these first few posts rather than making new posts.

 

This first post is reserved for WIP and finished photos.

MODEL COUNT: 167+3 WALKERS  TOTAL POINTS: 1539  (not including models marked n)

 

 

 

CYRIL XVIII, nn Co. "Nickname here"

     As with all Special Endowments, the Eighteenth is armed and equipped according to the capricious whims of whichever noble house or corporation sponsors it.  The equipment will usually be very old, having been treated with far more respect than the volunteers manning it, and sourced via numerous back-channel connections and favors called in so as to bring acclaim to its sponsors.  The Eighteenth is imaginatively organized as an assault regiment showcasing short-ranged firepower.  The nn Company includes a novel combination of Leman Russ Demolishers and Hellhounds.  Heavy stubbers/Storm bolters and dozer blades will all be magnetized as will all hatches with the possibility of fielding as Tank Commanders or regular Russes.  Uses Tallarn Doctrine.

 

     FIRST PLATOON

          1 Tank Commander with Executioner Cannon, Lascannon, x2 Plasma cannons, and Heavy stubber (241pts)

          2 Leman Russ Battle Tanks with Demolisher Cannons, Lascannons, and Heavy stubbers (186pts ea.) [Lascannons and sponsons magnetized]

 

     SECOND PLATOON

          1 Tank Commander with Demolisher Cannon, x3 Heavy Flamers, and Storm bolter (258pts)

          2 Leman Russ Battle Tanks with Demolisher Cannons, Heavy Flamers, and Storm bolters (181pts ea.)

 

     THIRD PLATOON

          1 Tank Commander with Punisher Cannon, x3 Heavy Bolters, and Heavy stubber (215pts)

          2 Hellhounds with Heavy Flamers and Storm bolters (112pts ea.)

 

     FOURTH PLATOON

          1 Tank Commander with Demolisher Cannon, Lascannon, x2 Multi-meltas, and Storm bolter (271pts)

          2 Devil Dogs with Multi-meltas and Storm bolters (115pts ea.)

 

MODEL COUNT: 12 VEHICLES  TOTAL POINTS: 2173

 

 

 

CYRIL XVIII, nn Co. "Nickname Here"

     The nn Company is a Superheavy company consisting of a Stormlord and two Malcador Defenders, currently attached to the XLII.  Soldiers carried will be drawn from the XLII or PDF-O as the situation permits.  Uses Tallarn Doctrine.

 

     1 Stormlord with x3 Heavy stubbers, Twin heavy bolter, x4 Lascannons, and x4 Heavy Flamers (652pts) [the Tellus Mater; all sponsons magnetized]

     2 Malcador Defenders with Demolisher Cannon, x5 Heavy Bolters, x2 Lascannons, and Heavy Stubber (319pts ea.) [from Index: Astra Militarum; sponsons magnetized]

     1 Tech-priest Enginseer (42pts)

 

MODEL COUNT: 1+3 VEHICLES  TOTAL POINTS: 1332

 

CYRIL PDF-O "Fancy Boys"

     The Planetary Defense Force of Cyril VIII is unusual in having a dedicated offworld battalion.  This is useful in circumventing unwanted oversight by Imperial advisors.  They are often called into service by certain rogue elements within the Adeptus Mechanicus, as well as being attached to normal Cyrillian expeditionary forces as highly-trained shock troops.  In this case, the squads are meant to either be outflanked or transported in the XVIII's Stormlord or their own Chimeras.  Uses Tallarn Doctrine.

 

     3 Company Commanders with Plasma pistol and Power fist (45pts ea.)

     n Platoon Commanders with Plasma pistol and Power sword or Plasma pistol and Power fist (29-35pts ea.)

     10 Crusaders (15pts ea) [represented by plastic Cadians with riot shields and power mauls; lack <Regiment> keyword, may replace with another Veteran Squad]

     2 Veteran Squads with Plasma pistol and Power sword, x5 shotguns, x3 Flamers, and Heavy flamer (107pts ea.) [not sure how to best equip these guys]

     2 Command Squads with x3 Meltaguns and Heavy Flamer (77pts ea.) [again, not sure how to equip.  This loadout will let me swap with the squads above]

     2 Chimeras with x2 Heavy flamers and Storm bolters (113pts) [weapons magnetized]

 

MODEL COUNT: 42+2 VEHICLES  TOTAL POINTS: 879  (not including models marked n)

 

CYRIL VI, nn Co. "Nickname Here"

     The Two-hundred Fifty-second Special Endowment is the equivalent of a standard Imperial Guard artillery regiment with all the piccadillos typical of the Cyrillian establishment. The nn Company consists of Manticores and an escort of Leman Russ Battle Tanks.  Uses Catachan Doctrine.

 

      1 Master of Ordinance (30pts)

 

     ESCORT PLATOON

          1 Tank Commander with Vanquisher Cannon, Lascannon, x2 Heavy Bolters, and Heavy stubber (232pts)

          2 Leman Russ Battle Tanks with Battle cannons, Lascannon, and Heavy stubber (171pts ea.)

 

     MANTICORE PLATOON

          1 Deathstrike with Heavy flamer (172pts)

          4 Manticores with Heavy flamers (142pts ea.) [all magnetized to represent Deathstrikes or Manticores]

 

MODEL COUNT: 1+8 VEHICLES  TOTAL POINTS: 1344

 

ULIKKA 8, 8 LASBATT "Ulikkan Hooligans"

     All Ulikkan regiments are quite specialized due to the low population of standard Humans capable of surviving on that desolate world.  Rather than companies as such, an Ulikkan regiment is comprised of small units which are always attached to a larger force sourced from another world.  In this case, Lasbatt 8 provides some much-needed artillery support to the chronically outgunned Cyril XLII, which happens to share a similar combat philosophy.  Uses Vostroyan Doctrine, although it should probably be Cadian.

 

     COMMAND PLATOON

          1 Company Commander with Bolter (31pts)

          2 Infantry Squads with Bolter and Lascannon (61pts ea.) [using Consolidated Squads stratagem]

          1 Tank Commander with Punisher Cannon, x3 Heavy Bolters, and Heavy stubber (215pts)

          3 Armored Sentinels with Plasma cannons (55pts ea.) [weapons magnetized]

 

     ARTILLERY PLATOON

          1 Company Commander with Bolter (31pts)

          2 Platoon Commanders with Bolters (21pts ea.)

          5 Heavy Weapons Squads with x3 Lascannons (78pts ea.) 390

 

     ABHUMAN AUXILIARY

          1 Ministorum Priest with Laspistol (35pts)

          1 Ogryn Bodyguard with Bullgryn maul and Brute shield (67pts)

          9 Bullgryns with Bullgryn maul and Brute shield (47pts ea.) 423

          20 Conscripts (3pts ea.) [These will be modeled to represent mutants of the wasteland.  Here to get the Hooligans to Battalion strength...  and then die.]

          10 Ratlings (7pts ea. [These will be modeled as mutants; lack <Regiment> keyword so might be replaced with 3 Command Squads]

 

MODEL COUNT: 95+1 VEHICLE+3 WALKERS  TOTAL POINTS: 1816

 

GRAND TOTALS

MODELS: 306+26 VEHICLES+9 WALKERS  POINTS: 9083

[Tallarn Commander]

I love urban-themed IG armies! You have a nice fluffy blend of sniper rifles, flamers, Demolishers,sentinels, Hellhounds, etc. I look forward to watching your army as it progresses.
