Imperial Guard 750

[thecactusman17]

I was lucky enough to acquire some Guard models recently, and I'm thinking about putting together a small army. I have only one vehicle (a Vendetta Gunship) and have zero interest in expanding further, though the infantry are not yet assembled.

Goals: shooting army, heavy weapon platoons and a Vendetta will do most of my heavy anti-tank work. After enemy tanks are cleared out, I hope that I will see a lot of chances to make quick work of my opponent's infantry. In most games i play at this point level, I expect to be placed with a random team mate.

You can only have 2x Grenade Launchers and a Lascannon. 1 Commander and 4x Guardsmen of which 2x will make up the Lascannon team. This applies to both Company and Platoon Command Squads.

Also since you can only give a max 4 commands a turn lets shuffle the units around and do what Guard does best specializing units for one purpose.

1x Vendetta

I took all the weapons you had spread out and consolidated them into squads so they are far more effective this way. You have 5x more special weapons and another scoring unit. You can combine the infantry squads most of the time and really rock someone's face with 16x Lasguns, 2x Flamers, and 2x Laspistols. Just and absurd amount of shots that push you towards a good normal number for mathammering units. Throw in First rank, second rank, third rank fire for fun. Putting all the grenade launchers into the Platoon command lets to use them as four small pie plate blast for those hordes or four krak grenades for light armor. You now have 2x HWS's with Lascannons for Bring it down. Also if you need to make the vendetta scoring throwing in a Infantry squad in it those you're not linking in your mind that the vets always go in the Vedetta as you can then put in the CCS for the 4x melta bum rush with orders verse a 3x melta bum rush with out orders and you don't lose a scoring unit.
