Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Baneblade can have up to two sponsons per side. Same goes for the Hellhammer. All you need for that is another Baneblade kit.

Forge World will next year release three upgrade kits for the plastic Baneblade:
- Shadowsword (Titan killer)
- Stormsword (Siege tank)
- Stormblade (Plasma tank)

Previews can be found in the Imperial Armour Apocalypse book.

New Imperial Guard stuff:
- Three super-heavy tanks ready for Apocalypse use (see above list). Each tank comes with the "Command Tank" upgrade. The Shadowsword comes with BS4, the Stormsword is a cheap Hellhammer and the Stormblade has the same type of plasma blastgun as a titan.

- Manticore missile tank and Manticore missile platform, can be upgraded to take AA missiles for no extra cost.

- Gorgon, a big slow super-heavy APC that can carry fifty men inside its hull. Is amphibious and very resistant to head on damage.

- Macharius (twin-linked battle cannon), Macharius Vanquisher (twin-linked Vanquisher cannon) and Macharius Vulcan (Vulcan mega bolter). Slated as second generation super-heavies. Come with two structure points.

- Malcador (battle cannon), Malcador Annihilator (twin-linked lascannons) and Malcador Defender (Heavy bolters all-round and demolisher cannon), a slow WWI styled tank that can have autocannon and lascannon sponsons.

Armoured Fist squadron: 2+ Salamander Scouts OR 2+ AF squads

Armoured Fist recon company: Squadrons and one command vehicle (Salamander Command, Chimera or Leman Russ Exterminator)

Emperor's Hammer tank squadron: 3 tanks of the same type go in one squadron: Leman Russ, Demolisher, Vanquisher, Exterminator, Conqueror, Executioner or Annihilator

Emperor's Hammer tank company: Made up of three tank squadrons and one command vehicle (Leman Russ, Vanquisher, Exterminator, Conqueror, Executioner or Annihilator)

Emperor's Fury artillery battery: 3 tanks of the same type: Basilisk, Griffon, Medusa OR Earthshaker platform, Medusa platform OR heavy mortars + Trojan towing vehicle

Emperor's Fury artillery company: made up of three batteries and one command vehicle (Chimera or Salamander command)

Emperor's Thunder heavy artillery battery: Bombard, Manticore or Manticore platform

Emperor's Thunder heavy artillery company: Three batteries of the above plus command vehicle (Chimera or Salamander command)

Avenger field artillery battery: 3 Thudd guns or Heavy mortars, each with a Centaur or Trojan towing vehicle

Avenger field artillery company: 3 Batteries plus one command vehicle (Salamander Command or Centaur)

Elysian Drop Infantry platoon: 1 command squad in Valkyrie, 2+ infantry squads in Valkyrie, 0-1 Vulture

Death Korps Death Rider company: 1 Death rider command squad, 3+ Death Rider squads

Exactly, a lot of these formations are highly unfeasible for a single person. The only way I see some of these formations going to field is by borrowing or pooling specialist vehicles together with a friend or someone else who has them.

Don't give him bad ideas

His Russian is plain offensive and quite scary. All he needs to do now is stop shaving for a week and get a vodka breath to look like a filthy polish immigrant crying

And he's got enough toys for now, even more and mommy is going to take away his allowance so he can't get any new stuff.

im in the wait and see phase with the Russians because I want to take a look at teh new greatcoat models before I buy anything else. Right now I have a Combat patrol sized force

It's an eye of the beholder thing.

My main army uses the Cadian doctrines to a good effect and all options, save for Grenadiers, are used.

If looking for adventurous army lists, go for the Imperial Guard armies created by FW, such as the Krieg siege regiment and the Elysian D-99 drop troops. These are NOTHING like the normal codex armies.
