Orpheus108 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Greetings All, So with 10th coming out in a few days ive decided to jump ship with a new army coming from playing DG for years and join in on the fun with the guard. My main aim is to build up an armoured column of Leman Russes, supported by a few squads of guard and later get my hands on Gaunts Ghosts. So my questions is for paying the points cost for an infantry squad. So points for the squad is 130 for a 20 man unit. I'm going the 2 Sgt, 14 guardsmen and 2 heavy weapon teams. Does that still cost 130pts or you pay for the 130 unit then add the cost of a heavy weapons team at 60pts making the Infantry squad cost 190pts Thank you for clearing this up Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379115-infantry-guard-unit-points-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orpheus108 Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 Thank you Emperor Ming, that's insane for a unit cost. I'll try running a Las cannon and aurocannon for a play test, playing my groups first 10th ed game this Thursday, just a 500pts game to begin with.

Emperor Ming Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Eldar pay 110pts for ten t3 guardians, now that's crazy If you go back a few editions, guard were 40pts, then you paid, 15 ish for hvy weapon, then 5/10 for a special weapon, Then now your getting power swords and plasma pistols on sgts as well for 'free' so 65 for 10 is ok I'm not a fan of this whole incorporated cost wargear shenanigans, It worked ok on basic guard infantry, but rolling it out game wide means its just power levels with propaganda Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379115-infantry-guard-unit-points-question/#findComment-5962757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus108 Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 Looking at points for guard and equipment is just great for cost. So do the heavy weapons guys with an infantry squad have to stay within range of the unit or can they be left in a good firing spot while the others walk off to kill/be killed.

Unit coherency still applies Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379115-infantry-guard-unit-points-question/#findComment-5962787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
