Lt_Brookman That's because Imperial Guard tanks are for real men and not power armoured pansies that think that their tactics are superior to that of the real fighting arm of the Imperium! xp Eh... not to spark the Marines v. Guard debate again, I'll say that the guard are a lot more versatile than Marines (especially with the new codex favoring armies that _only_ pod in) because you can go from a horde army, to a mixed horde, to mechanized and (Four Powers forbid!) armored company. And another thought on guard tanks- I faced a Leman Russ vanquisher on thursday night, and it really is that effective against tanks. It obliterated the one tank I actually used. Of course, its only as effective as a regular Russ against infantry ninja

Never had to deal with one of those. Dangerous much? Just curious, cause I think one of the guys I game with might have one.

Lt_Brookman That's because Imperial Guard tanks are for real men and not power armoured pansies that think that their tactics are superior to that of the real fighting arm of the Imperium! xp Ive had the pleasure of having both a Space Marine army and an Imperial Guard Army and I don't think that your being very nice to what Space Marines do, yes they may be power armoured, but their tactics have saved the Imperium many times, when the Blood Angels Chapter Teleported down to save Helsreach, that was an act of bravery, which saved the people that were still alive. Imperial Guard tanks may be very powerful, but the sheer brutality of a Space marine army assault (given the right equipment and manpower) will shatter any heavy artillary line.

Quite right. The Imperial Guard and the Space Marines are both neccessary for the safety of the Imperium.

First off, while I do not play IG, I believe that that is the sort of thing you are supposed to talk about here, just like if I was on the Witchhunters thread, that is most likely what I would be talking about. Some of the people I have battled though, like to use Armoured company, or Schaeffers last stand(That is right, is it not?).

Oh, well, my only suggestionwould be to go with what you think would do good. That and get at least A core force together.
