View Full Version : Imperial Guard "Suicide" Army?

Hey guys so I played a game where I ran 5 veteran squads all with demolition charges (100 points per squad, 500 pts total)
Maybe I got lucky with only one scatter, or maybe this would be viable?
Basically I just run the squads in early and plant the demolition charges to kill large amounts of troops (Or even small amounts of lets say terminators, ap 2 is strong ^_^)
It also works well vs tanks... Its a lot of utility I find
I'd love some opinions and thoughts and maybe some experiences some have seen/heard with this type of army list?

I've seen this strategy work very well and very poor at times, but if you want to use it, may I suggest adding Marbo to your list? He's cheap (65 pts I think?), and with BS5 and his "appear anywhere" infiltrate, he's a much better candidate for getting the pie exactly where it needs to go.

That is a poor use of points and BS4. For the same points:
Platoon Command w/ 4 Meltas
- 10 Guardsmen w/ ML & Plasma
- 10 Guardsmen w/ ML & Plasma
- 6 Guardsmen w/ 3 MLs
- 6 Guardsmen w/ 3 DCs
- 6 Guardsmen w/ 3 DCs
510 points, and far more overall utility:
6 separate units
6 DCs
5 MLs
2 Plasma
4 Meltas
Sure, slightly fewer bodies (43 vs 50), but the extra firepower will make up for it.

Hmmm...I don't recognize that abbreviation. What's a DC?

Demo charge maybe?

Demolition charge in this context I would assume.
Can also stand for Death Company when referred to Blood Angles.

Well it went very well, absolutely slaughtered him.
Big change from getting borderline manhandled the first two games!
