Nix the Carapace Armored Guardsmen. If you want Carapace armor in your Troops, you can just take Veteran squads.

ArmSLave1 Guardsmen really get amped with this new codex. Now we can actually have a chance at winning again!(lol, im not really a good player.... sweatdrop ) any tips on expanding my army? 1 command sqaud with vox and plasma guns Carapace A 3 support squads-2 anti tank- 1 anti inf. lascannons and hvy bolters all have carapace and .sharp shooters. 2xplatoons 1 command squad 3 grenade L's,vox 3 squads, 1 Grenade L each, vox each All have carapce and sharpshooters 1 chimera with douoble heavy bolters(my own crappy conversion) this is about 1000-1200 points with current( i believe 3rd edition?)IG codex. not the new one coming out in (i beleive) may 2009. correct me if im wrong Doctrines are out and gone. Heavy weapon support squads are no longer part of the HQ but must now be attached to infantry platoons instead. Your current army, with upcoming codex revisions would weigh in at around 905 points, give or take. This is assuming your hq has two plasma guns. As for expansion, tanks are good, there's a tank for every need soon, maybe an elites choice, again something for everybody in there or some Sentinels, always good to field some of those.

How about this:
Command squad: captain with power weapon, medic, regimental standard and meltagun
Platoon command: lieutenant with power fist, medic, platoon standard and meltagun
Squad 1 - flamer, missile launcher
Squad 2 - grenade launcher, missile launcher
Heavy weapons - 3x autocannon
Veterans squad - 2x grenade launcher, missile launcher
Sentinel - plasma cannon
How many points would this be?

Lady Blodwynn How about this: Command squad: captain with power weapon, medic, regimental standard and meltagun Platoon command: lieutenant with power fist, medic, platoon standard and meltagun Squad 1 - flamer, missile launcher Squad 2 - grenade launcher, missile launcher Heavy weapons - 3x autocannon Veterans squad - 2x grenade launcher, missile launcher Sentinel - plasma cannon How many points would this be? 580 pts. It might be best to bulk out to 750 pts or loose the heavy weapons squad and one missile launcher.

Lt. Brookman Lady Blodwynn How about this: Command squad: captain with power weapon, medic, regimental standard and meltagun Platoon command: lieutenant with power fist, medic, platoon standard and meltagun Squad 1 - flamer, missile launcher Squad 2 - grenade launcher, missile launcher Heavy weapons - 3x autocannon Veterans squad - 2x grenade launcher, missile launcher Sentinel - plasma cannon How many points would this be? 580 pts. It might be best to bulk out to 750 pts or loose the heavy weapons squad and one missile launcher. If I were to build things to 750 points, I guess a tank and some extra men would do the trick. What if I were to add in a Leman Russ with heavy bolters all round and an extra squad of troops with just a flamer?

The Russ with three heavy bolters is 170 pts, so just adding that brings you to 750 pts. All things considered it should give you a basic fighting force.

If I were to take Cadians for my army I would probably be able to get this for less than £150, right?

GW has a battle force, Cadian infantry squad, Cadian command squad, Leman Russ and codex all together for £119.75. You'd be better off at Maelstrom Games (in the UK!) where all things combined will cost you £103.19, saving you £16.56!

I'm back...
I have to say i liked the old battalion box sets better, while getting a command squad is nice the tank was by far better and a command squad is easy to make.
and a sentinel one really, come on GW give us like 3 if you take away the friggin leman russ.

But with the new box you can at least fill out your minimum army requirements if you feild the squads as veterans. It took my a damn long time to get my current command. And they were one of the last things I finished. Now you start with just enough.

I have to say i liked the old battalion box sets better, while getting a command squad is nice the tank was by far better and a command squad is easy to make. and a sentinel one really, come on GW give us like 3 if you take away the friggin leman russ.

And they were one of the last things I finished. Now you start with just enough. This boxed set does have a better value, even with the increase in prices. At least this box will give me an instant troops and fast attack choice without the need to buy blisters or extra boxes of models. All I need now is an extra command box, a box of Cadians, Leman Russ kit plus a codex and I'm ready for a 750 points game. pirate

my take on ig:
what and why:
HQ
command squad - banner, vox, chimera, master of ordnance
x2
bubbles of ld9 with reroll and 4 orders/turn, cheap artillery, chimeras keep them relatively safe... and can be lent to scoring units if needed
Troops
veterans, 2 plasma, 1 melta, vox, forward sentries
x6
bs 4 upgraded cover, 3 spec weapons each
Fast
devil dog - multimelta
x2
best tank hunter in the IG
Heavy
colossus
x2
lr executioner - plasma sponsosns, camo net
no power armor, no cover pie plates
+mass plasma death
total - 1980
feel free to add 20 pts of wargear...

 I would love to see the middle guy as a girl with no trousers, instead a really short skirt with stiletto booties. Maybe give her a cutlass and wrist mounted energy field so she can show off her mad stabbing skills to the groundpounders. pirate
