‘Ard Boys Army List: Imperial Guard + Allies
Here’s an Imperial Guard (+Allies) army that I’m considering. There are definitely some things I could do to tune it up, but I’m working with the models I have here.
HQ
Command Platoon (Drop Troops)
— Command Squad (Sharpshooters, Autocannon, Medic, Bolt Pistol)
— Junior Officer (Iron Discipline, Honorifica Imperials, Power Weapon)
— Chimera (ML/HB, Smoke Launchers)
— Anti-tank Squad (Missile Launchers, Sharpshooters)
— Anti-tank Squad (Lascannons, Sharpshooters)
— Sentinel Squadron (3 Sentinels, Autocannon)
Canoness (Brazier of Holy Fire, Book of St Lucius)
ELITE
DH Inquisitor (Emperor’s Tarot)
— Retinue: 2 Mystics, 3 HB Servitors
TROOPS
Infantry Platoon (Drop Troops)
— Command Squad (Sharpshooters, Plasma Gun, Autocannon)

HEAVY
Battle Tank (Hull HB, Extra Armor, Smoke Launchers)
Battle Tank (Hull HB, Extra Armor, Smoke Launchers)
Demolisher (Hull HB, PC Sponsons, Extra Armor, Smoke Launchers)
STATS
Kill Points: 18 (spread all over the board)
Scoring Units: 10
Models: 123 (Starting Faith: 4)
NOTES:
1. Command Platoon: This best consists of the command squad, a chimera, 2 anti-tank squads and 3 sentinels. I’ll setup the anti-tank squads on opposite board sides, park the command squad in the midldle (near the chimera for a quick get-away), and drop the sentinels. That’s going to be 3 very hard kill points to win.
2. Canoness: She’s there to give coverage to as much of the infantry as possible. I may put her in the command squad so I can move here where I need her most. With an unmodifiable LD10, I don’t have to worry about losing squads to losing close combats.
3. DH Inquisitor: He helps me with deep strikers (if I face Terminators, this squad will be with the Demolisher; if I face Monoliths, then they will be with an anti-tank squad; etc.). I also get an Emperor’s Tarot so I have a better than even chance to go first.
4. Infantry Platoons: Set up around my deploment zone, you are going to have to wipe out 4 units to get a single point. I’ll deep strike one of the units to grab objectives and frustrate my opponent’s attempt to get KP.
5. Sisters of Battle: These squads give Book coverage to my infantry platoons and they intercept units that want to assault them — and bog them down in the Sisters Tar Pit(tm).
6. Tanks: Three decent tanks fill out the list and give me some teeth.
I expect to lose 6 KP in the average game (and 8KP in a bloody one).
Thoughts??
