Steel Company Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 As a side note, guard die really really fast lol. Welcome to T3 and next to no armour save... I know I keep repeating myself, but now you see why I liked to keep my infantry cheap when I played... it wasn't uncommon for me to lose a 10 man squad to rapid firing bolters or a squad of storm bolters. But our tanks are beastly things... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355585-building-my-first-guardsmen/page/3/#findComment-5317210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 I think I did well not to get attached. First squad was wiped out when his obliterators landed in front of them and rolled max stats, one round of shooting, poof. Squad three lost 6 men to the terminators that landed on their side, another two were lost to moral, the brave plasma gunner and sergeant closed the distance to keep him from advancing before they died in the following smite. Squad two lost a single man to smite on turn one, but they held back the rubric Marines before being burned down. They even took a few with them, so that’s good. I’m proud of them.

Steel Company Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 It is the men and women of the Imperial Guard that are the true heroes of the Imperium, not the Astartes. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355585-building-my-first-guardsmen/page/3/#findComment-5317249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 If your opponent is sending his guns against your infantry, your tanks are free to do the real killing ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355585-building-my-first-guardsmen/page/3/#findComment-5317315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfpint100 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Guardsmen are the ultimate chaff, I never leave home without at least 60. So cheap and useful. Usually 3 cadians with autocannons and some mortar squads nearby, while 3+ catachan squads run forward naked to kill and die. I find it works as a nice combo.
