1500 pt. Imperial Guard List (New Codex)

[Andrew]

Oh no worries. There will be an apocalypse game or three this summer.

Yippie-yo-ka-yah! I'll be able to use my Shadowdoomlordbaneswordhammerthingy, I wish that GW would think of better names. Seems like they just stuck random names in a hat then pulled them out two at a time to name a tank, then stupidly put the same names back in so they could be used again .

But if I am free on the weekends you do Apocalypse games I'll come down and see if I can bring a friend or two or three or four. Mmmmm... 5000+ points of Guardsmen ( x2 shadowswords a Vulture and tons of Russes, with bowrowed armies of course ) not to mention what everyone else will bring. I'm game!

I'm seriously considering switching my Chimeras over to heavy flamers and possibly the Demolisher and hell hound as well. Chimeras and hellhound will be easy as pie, the Demolisher will require a sacrifice of a lascannon that I never plan on using any ways so I should be good after some surgery. Mmmm... Burninating stuff sounds like oodles of fun ;D!

I used to drive to LITH all the time, cause my ex live there. That is definitely a 45 min drive, especially if its in Algonquin. Take 38 to 47 north, then jump on algonquin road and shoot east to Randall.

Also I would not mind shooting over to Dekalb once I move on the 30th on maybe a Saturday or two. I will be coming out for club on thursdays and SWRPG on Sundays...so I don't know how much more driving I would like to do. Maybe once or twice extra to do an APOC. I do live right down the street from Battlebunker, like 15 minutes I think.

Well, after several weeks of play I have made a couple of changes and I want to see how they play out.

Company Command Squad w/ a powerfist, Company Standard, and frag grenades 80 pts.
Platoon Command Squad w/ frag grenades and powerfist 45 pts.
Infantry Squad w/ heavy bolter and Commissar and frag grenades 95 pts.
Infantry Squad w/ heavy bolter and frag grenades 60 pts.
Infantry Squad w/ heavy bolter and frag grenades 60 pts.
Special Weapon Squad w/ x3 plasma guns 80 pts.
Special Weapon Squad w/ x3 plasma guns 80 pts.
Veteran Squad w/ x3 melta guns, powerfist, meltabombs, demo charge, and frag grenades and w/ Chimera w/ heavy flamer and multilaser 185pts.
Hellhound w/ smoke 130 pts.
Spearhead Sentinels w/ x2 lascannons 140 pts.
Leman Russ Squadron w/ x2 basic Leman Russes w/ smoke launchers and searchlight 300 pts.
Leman Russ Vanquisher w/ lascannon and storm bolter, smoke launchers, and searchlight + Knight Commander Pask 230 pts.

Has worked out okay so far needs another run trough or two. Its looking good though, got my hands on a tech priest and a new sentinel which will have a plasma cannon need to try both of these units out, as soon as I get the sentinel together.

It's me again with a new diobolical revised Guard list.

Company Command Squad w/ a powerfist, Company Standard, and frag grenades 80 pts.
Platoon Command Squad w/ frag grenades and powerfist 45 pts.
Infantry Squad w/ heavy bolter and Commissar and frag grenades 95 pts.
Infantry Squad w/ heavy bolter and frag grenades 60 pts.
Infantry Squad w/ melta gun and frag grenades and Chimera 155 pts.
Special Weapon Squad w/ x3 melta guns 65 pts.
Veteran Squad w/ x3 melta guns, meltabombs, demo charge, and frag grenades w/ Bastone and w/ Chimera w/ heavy flamer and multilaser 245 pts.
Spearhead Sentinels w/plasma cannon 75 pts.
Leman Russ Punisher w/ hull heavy bolter w/ smoke 180 pts.
Leman Russ Squadron w/ x2 basic Leman Russes w/ smoke launchers and searchlight 300 pts.
Leman Russ Vanquisher w/ lascannon and storm bolter, smoke launchers, and searchlight + Knight Commander Pask 230 pts.

Comes out to 1500 pts. exact. I will have to give it a try a couple of times, but it looks good so far.

As you've found out, depending on Pask to do all your tank killing is not the way to go. Glad (and scared!) to see those meltaguns back in the list.
