Do you, as I do, love the Imperial Guard Veterans squad? I think they might be in the top 5 troop choices of the whole game; versatile and dependable. They have a handful of Doctrines available to them that make them even cooler. If I could change one thing about the whole IG army I would have given Vets a whole page of Doctrines to choose from not to make them 'better' but because I believe the inclusion of more doctrines would have each player personalizing their armies and making them far more unique and charismatic.
So I'm fixing it. And I need your help.
What kind of Doctrines would you like your Vets to have? Try to come up with some that reflect either famous regiments or that fit well with existing Doctrines so players can mix and match. Some doctrines might be available to Command Squads too to reinforce an "army wide" theme.
Here's a few to get us started. They are + 30 points just like the current ones.
Drop Troops: Any Company Command or Veteran (or Sentinel?)squad may be equipped with Grav Chutes (or tunneling equipment etc.). They gain the Deep Strike Universal Special rule and may take Valkyries as Dedicated Transports.
Skitarii: Available to Company Command Squads and Veteran Squads. Units with this upgrade gain a 5+ Invulnerable save due to their powerful augmentations. One member of the squad is equipped with a Signum.
Abhumans/Primitives: Available to Company Command Squads and Veteran Squads. Units with this upgrade suffer a - 1 to their BS but gain + 1 to their WS. Each model with this upgrade may exchange their lasgun with a laspistol for free.
More Doctrine Ideas can found it my Stellan Hoplites (http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?t=2060) thread on this board. What ideas do you guys have for more Doctrines?
