Welcome to Gaia! ::

hi i'm sort of new to this guild and i'm trying to make a elite trator IG army and have been working on it for a while. But i am running into some poroblems so i need some help on the list and on my doctrines so far i have:

20 strom troopers
2 chimeras
1 command platoon
1 infantry platoon
1 leman russ

I also have a corupted inqusitor.

any help will be valued

From what i gather so far, the IG seem like they would be my ideal army, both in style and gameplay.

But the IG deals mostly in #'s and concentrated firepower, not to mention the tanks.

Am i right?

Ok to make this list leagal you need to be using Grenadeers Doctrine to field your Storm Troopers as troops

HQ:
Ok depending on the point value of your army you may want to consider a Senior officer instead of a heroic senoir. and since you have the Chimera go ahead and buy for for their transport give it multilaser and hull hvy bolter

Troops:
Infantry Platoon:
Command Squad:
1st Squad:
2nd Squad: With all three of these i need your numbers and your upgrades

Grenadiers x2: Ok these guys
10X Storm Troopers squads. optimumly you want to field flamers plasma guns, or meltas as you speical weapons. And go ahead and spring the extra point for the veteran and a power sword, i found it was well worth it. Mount one in a chimera deep strike the other or inflitrate those are always fun

Heavy Support:
Leman Russ: Ok what armaments are we talking here, and what vehcile upgrades


Really in all what i need to know is

What point value your shooting for:
Do you have teh abiltity to purchase more models to fill gaps: like heavy weapons
A detailed list of what models you have:

and then we will work from there

Well until I see the rules there's not much to say.Seems a bit unfair.Gaurd already have hordes of troops and awesome tanks,now they(allegedly)get Tau weapons wich own.
Where are these rules?

The third one down is the Tau Gue'la Auxillary Army.

That would be it exactly. Our troops aren't particularly tough, strong, well armed, or well trained.
We win through our large numbers, large amount of heavy weapons and our superior tanks.
They are the Russian of the 41st century. Just remember "Not one step back"

It's also a very versitile list.If you use the doctrines you can make real type armys,from the Mechanized "Blitz Kreig" to the US veitnam cammandos.Try the Famous regiments in the back of the book.I love the Mordians cool
