IG relying on chain of command seems quite realistic to me. While Marines are used to act independently since scout times, and other armies rely on hive mind, farseer guidance etc., guardsmen must be led into battle by smart and charismatic commanders.

According to the background the officers are pigheaded and uncaring. sad

well I didn't know there was a guard specific one. I just went with the old standby

Mat & Winnie: Good stuff. Seriously, I laughed.

@ Evok: Guard have always relied on chain of command. Vox Casters used to be the only way that they were able to hang onto Ld.

Sweet bleeding lord hanging upon the cross...

Vendetta

Crazy a** skimmer.
Now, that's not too bad. The Valkyrie is a crazy a** skimmer in the same way.

The difference?

For the cost of 13 oldschool Plasma Guns, you have a crazy a** skimmer with 3 TL Lascannons.

Non Commissioned Officer

but really its right it refers to any rank of sergeant from e5 to e9 or properly fitting imperial guard equivalents Corporals aren't shown because due to their illusive nature they couldnt be found for this survey.... or any other duty for that matter.

I'd more go with Apache or Hind, definitely Hind, because for that price the Vendetta retains its ability to carry a squad. Plus it can take the usual rocket pods or Hellstrike missiles plus door mounted heavy bolters.

Corporal Hicks is in command now, I presume. - Ripley the Tyranid slayer, Ordo Xenos.
