My guard have been languishing in storage since early 4th ed.
So: I have placed all my guardsmen on my dining table and done some counting for 5th ed (a bit overdue, but meh). Everything is counted WYSIWYG, and army composition is pretty much determined by me trying to put together full squads. I figure I should shoot for an Apocalypse-viable force eventually, to face against my friend's reinvigorated Blood Angels (he and I have been collecting for over a decade: he had far more resources than me!).
There are, of course, a few miscellaneous odds & ends which I couldn't fit anywhere. Most are special weapon figures or extraneous officers which don't really go anywhere. Oddly, I'm short on basic troopers :wtf: though I do have a bundle of sprues packed away somewhere, as well as an untouched Cadian Command Squad box. They're not included because they're not assembled. My question at the end will be "What the frag do I grab next?" :confused: Also, constructive advice on how to turn it into something useful & fun for regular battles would be neat too.
Here is what I counted:
HQ:
:=>: Company Command Squad: 127 points [Cadians w converted officer]
Boltgun, Medi-pack, Regimental Standard, 2 Plasma guns
:=>: Lord Commissar: 80 points
Boltgun, Power Weapon

Shotgun, Eviscerator

:=>: Ogryn Squad: 250 points [Converted from Ogre Kingdoms Bulls]
3 Additional Ogryns
:=>: Ratling Squad: 50 points
2 Additional Ratlings
TROOPS:
:=>: Infantry Platoon:
• Platoon Command Squad: 52 points [Catachan]
Boltgun, 3 flamers, vox-caster
• Infantry Squad: 105 points [Catachan]

:=>: Leman Russ Squadron: 185 points
Leman Russ Demolisher, Sponson Heavy Bolters
ARMY TOTAL POINTS: 2204
(I am of course not at all happy about the Catachans being so prominent. They are all due for re-education at some point.)
So... What the frag do I grab next?
