Imperial infantry armies can work, as long as they pack plenty of support weapons, both heavy and assault along with specialist troops.

Yep. A tactic occurs to me, to have support weapons groups, like command squads, Veteran squads, and fire support squads, shelter behind a guardsmen squad each. That way, the opponents Target priority rule prevents them from shooting as effectively at the important squads that are shooting them to pieces.

Screening doesn't work and the vaunted target priority is easily overridden with a Leadership roll. My own guardsmen squads with normal sergeants easily pass those.

It still screens some fire. Not all, but every bit helps.

Try the online store. They'll probably be under classics and collectors.

I was thinking if I should get a valkerie(sp?) to take a support role in my drop troop list. Does this seem like a good idea in general? I’m only asking because I’ve never used flyers before

I don't have any idea, considering I don't know how a Valkyrie fits in an IG army. sweatdrop I don't have any of the Imperia Armour books.

To the best of my knowledge and I gleaned this from army builder I can mount a unit of my stormtroppers in one and they just act as well a very fast transport with lots of weapons.

Guardsmen (9) –grenade launcher Veteran sergeants are not that essential, you can drop those in favour of more heavy weapons for second platoon or assault weapons for the command squads. Quote: Fast attack Sentinels (3)-multi lasers (drop troops) pts:2000 Deploy the Sentinels in seperate squadrons, while weaker alone they can be spread amongst the force. I doubt this force will do much real damage, as it severely lacks ranged anti-tank weapons.

Yea after posting that I realized that problem and the new list has every squad in first platoon with heavy bolters and all of second platoon has lascannon and after reading your comments I probably would re-equip one of the stormtrooper squads with plasma guns. And the special weapon team with the plasma gun and replace the flamer. The reason I gave them the explosives was because they need to destroy tanks since their deep striking the can get up close.

I just got a Chimera, my first. I'm thinking of using it to house my Veteran squad, but I'm not sure yet.

Getting a solid core for the army is the most important factor, which in case of the Imperial Guard is a solid block that can dish out firepower and take fire.
