Sorry, but I don’t like the troop choices at all. There are too many points concentrated at that Aegis-Position. It will get wiped out by anything that is tough and fast or anything that has barrage weapons or torrent weapons. For example: Boss Bikers, 2 or 3 Nemesisknights, two or three maxed units of Canoptek Wraiths, Helldrakes, Battle Psykers with weaken resolve… If he doesn’t have something like this, 15 or 25 guys behind the line are more than enough. The sniper rifles and the autocannons won’t do much against anything but monstrous creatures without invulnerable save anyway. Your 10… Read more »

I have to agree, that taking over 500 points worth of static infantry is just a bit too much. Plus the whole thing relies on defence lines, I don’t know about you, but ever since fortifications can be included in an army list, i always make effort to include at least 2 things into my army that can deal with extreme cover saves (currently running, Colossus, Hellhound, Master of Ordnance). I think after this extensive use of defence lines, and the addition of wall of death, we will see massed templates on offensive units. I think the army list has… Read more »

Just to point out the list is constrained by the existing model collection…

I live in the US and i have to say as a guard player that Marbo is without a doubt the most entertaining character in the Imperial Guard. One of my favorite things about him is the fact that after he throws his demo charge, every opponent i fight has to kill him in the next turn.

Marbo is definitely awesome. I obliterated a unit of 3 crisis suits and a crisis Commander with the demo charge alone, and my opponents army pulverised him for it, saving my army from a round of tau shooting. I think this list does have too much infantry though, because although the defence line is good, all those units that deep strike and shoot with lots of shots will make as mess of those veterans. In my army, I run 1125pts of guard and an Inquisitoral detatchment with Coteaz, 9 Death Cult Assassins and a Vindicare to back up my infantry,… Read more »

Something a lot of people have missed concerning minimum range has to do with the Barrage special rule. If you read the rule Barrage weapons CAN fire at targets iside their minimum range, they just don’t get to subtract the BS of the firing unit from the scatter distance. So personally I don’t mind Basilisks and other tanks people don’t like because of their minimum range, esspecially considering they have a low BS to begin with.

just a challenge but i would like to see if any one can make an okay rough rider themed army of imperial guard that works pretty well

as an idea a combination of a captin alraheem led platoon with lot of flamers plus rough riders and a dessert pattern valkarie plus marbo a dessert type lord commissair with camo cloak maybe leading a squad of sniper forward sentry vets with aditional vet squads with simmalir upgrades also a commpany command squad with astroph so as to make captin alrahhems platoon araive faster the challenge points are 1850pts

sorry it’s captin al’rahem
