King Kento A.R.G.U.S Mykal King Kento A.R.G.U.S Mykal King Kento Ive never heard of this All human auxillary army thing. Post us a link. Regardless, you can just use some gaurd models in your tau army that count as firewarriors like other people do. No rules to worry about, no traitor stuff to worry about, etc. And you still get some humans in there.
Would it not just be a paint scheme and some proxy weapons? Like at the end of the Tau campaign in DC?
-Mykal
As in you use an IG Army list, but paint them in Tau colours, and have a Tau Shas'Whatever as a Commissar to enforce the men, give them Tau weapons as counts-as Lasguns, etc. Feature Kroot Merc allies if you so desire, that sort of thing.
-Mykal Well sinc they are Gue'vesa and I cant be entirely held to this but I remember reading somwhere that since they just turned and or once served the Imperium they arent given the majority of Tau technology leaving them to fight with their old guard issue

Also, they make their own lasguns.

there are 2 paths to make gue'vesa army:
Tau codex - model fire warriors with IG legs/hands/heads, battlesuits are enclosed and vehicles too... this would represent totally incorporated humans (a bit unfluffy)
IG codex - use the doctrines, most fitting with Tau firepower doctrine would be: heavy weapons squads (equivalent of broadsides) and special weapons squads (equivalent of crisis teams), along with carapace armor (modelled with FW torso)

Lasguns are the AK 47's of the forty first millennium. Easy to build, rugged as ******** and better then bolters / M16's. The Tau can easily mass produce lasguns, which they do for their human helpers.
Just keep in mind when you convert tau to humans that you need to swap both the feet and hands.

Mat Well since they are Gue'vesa and I cant be entirely held to this but I remember reading somwhere that since they just turned and or once served the Imperium they arent given the majority of Tau technology leaving them to fight with their old guard issue
Also, I believe on the site (maybe white dwarf but I dont think so) GW has mentioned people converting whole new alien races and using firewarrior or other tau rules to represent them and saying theyre one more Tau aligned race. This doesnt sound very different to me.Redtuskk YOU WOULD BE CORRECT SIR! Also, they make their own lasguns.

Well I am going to assume that since we are in the IG thread we are still talking about a force being represented by the Imperial Guard.

for anyone who knows guard fluff really well i have this question:
are Hellhounds part of Armored companies or are they part of Infantry companies similar to chimera tanks?
the reason I ask this is because I want to have an army list of an entire company of guardsmen (I had this idea before I even knew about the "company in a box") and I need to know what is organized in JUST an infantry company.

Hellhound is a redone chimera and its a fast attack choice last I checked. Not sure if it counts in an infantry company though.

Armoured vehicles of any kind, from tanks to transports to walkers all derive from separate companies or regiments. Chimera transports are handed out to infantry companies by armoured regiments. Sentinels are from recce companies and tanks from tank companies. The Apocalypse book has a snippet on this that can be found in the Imperial Guard section, on how one commander should never again have such powerful companies at his or her disposal. (pour example: Imperial Army became the Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy) In that same vein of thought, storm troopers come from outside the regiment as do conscripts / Youth Army platoons, though the latter will formally be inducted into the company after a set time or campaign.

I always though the chimeras were part of the Infantry company. I never knew they were mixed in from armored, I figured the chimeras were just issued to the infantry and "belonged" to them. I'll have to change by thoughts about having a guard infantry company.

Now I know this isnt what is says but from reading related material I beleive that different types of companys would have different organization
like so
Infantry Company => All Troops no vechiles
Mechanized Comapny => Vechiles and Troops in one nice package
Armoured Tank Companys => All Vechiles not many "seige tanks"
Armoured Artillery companys => All vechiles most seige tanks but often can include Anti Aircraft Batterys

The High Lords have decreed right after the Heresy that army groups should be powerful, but in a fragmented way, so that a commander should never again wield such great power. Vehicles are taken from their own companies. As is the case with infantry and specialist troops, such as Ogryns and storm troopers. Artillery companies are both self-propelled and towed guns of various kind. Siege artillery is a bit on the iffy side. They do exist, but the exact contents differ. Some see Basilisk tanks as siege weapons, while others prefer Medusa and Bombard tanks. However, if an infantry commander wishes to add some armour and recon elements to his company or regiment, he has to look to other regimental formations for help.
