Welcome to Gaia! ::

You might wanna start off as an Inquisitorial force, it cost me over four hundred dollars(American) just to get a force worthy enough for that. It works okay until you have a sizable enough force to play a real guard army with them.

Yea. I'm eventually planning to field 9 thud guns, allowing me to chuck out 36 pinning templates a turn. My list is going to be a mechanized grenadier list. Cheap in cash (no special death korps chimeras, HAH!), and I won't have to buy oodles of $60 meat shields.. Just a few squads of grenadiers. It will end up being expensive, but I think I'll do the witch hunters ally idea, thanks. My friend has a bunch of grey knights hes willing to give me (for free!), and I just finished my inquisitor lord, who leads my normal guardsmen. Anyyyways, yea. Thudd guns, fun stuff.

Yea, I'm taking the platoon so I can fit some heavy weapon squads into my army, namely autocannons and lascannons. I 've found that an inquistor lord tooled to CQC can be pretty devastating, especially with a power weapon (and sometimes hammerhand, if its marines or their ilk).

Im planning to try out this krieg army for GTs/RTTs, so I'm kind of basing it around an anti-vehicle army. I've talked to other people, on other forums, and many say that the majority of succesful GT armies are fast and maneuverable, so thats where the auto/lascannons come in. With thudd guns filling out my heavy support, I can pin down any enemy troops.

Yea, I was blessed by their sight when I checked FW yesterday. I know a guy whos may be willing to sell his flag carrier to me for my DKoK army.

Now I just need to finish saving up...

I only have sixty dollars... *sniff* but I'll have a hundred eighty after my friend finally pays me for a tyranid army that I've had sitting on my work desk in the garage for two years... My Krieg army only needs one more squad of infantry, an arse load of tanks(I mean an aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrssssssseeeeeee load, cause I'm a tread-head), and a command squad.

I was replying to this when DE closed it, so.... here.



Um. I'm pretty sure that army list isn't even close to legal. Firstly, get rid of the special characters, they're rarely worth the points, and they're rarely allowed. Use the models if you want, but just count them as your regular army choices. (Additionally, Ursarkar Creed requires an army using Cadian doctrines - see below about that.)

I'm going to assume you're using the default IG list, rather than any specific doctrines, since you're a new player.

In standard mission, you need to follow the Force Organization Chart. At a bare minimum, you need 1 HQ choice and 2 Troops choices. At maximum, you may have 2 HQ, 6 Troops, 3 Elites, 3 Fast Attack, and 3 Heavy Support.

You have no Troops choices, and you're required to have two. And given that you're playing Imperial Guard, you should have MANY MANY MORE. Troops are organized into platoons of 2 to 5 10-man squads. That means at minimum, you need 40 imperial guardsmen.

You have four Heavy Support choices, and the maximum is three. I would assume that your Heavy Weapon squads are Support squads for your HQ, except that you don't have one of those.

On that note, you have two HQ choices, but no apparent Command Platoon.

You have six Elite choices, without counting your Daemonhunter allies, and the maximum is three.

The game changes a little if you're playing the Cadian doctrines. If that's the case, your Shock Troops and Kasrkin could possibly become Grenadier squads and thusly Troop choices, but your snipers, ratlings, heavy weapons teams(except as belonging to a command platoon), and enginseers are inaccessible.

In either case, you don't have NEARLY enough actual guardsmen to make a servicable army, especially at the apparently point value you're working with.

To help you out, here's some sample lists from GW's website:
2000 pt. Infantry List
2000 pt. Mechanized List
1000 pt. (Cityfight) Infantry List

Good summary! sweatdrop
