My main focus of this army is to be a mobile shooty army that will use supirior BS to win. A conscript platoon would be armed with flamers and act as meat sheilds for the rest of the army. I plan to have 1 command squad, 3 veteran squads, 3 storm troopers, 1 platoon, 1 conscipt, and probably some vehicles. Amy veteren guard players here with advice? |
first off, you don't need the 'storm troopers' doctrine to take those grenadiers! taking grenadiers gets you 0-3 grenadier squads. taking storm troopers simply gets you the plain 'ol storm troopers from the 'elites' section of the list... so there you go! you can now take iron discipline which is easily the single best doctrine you can have!!!
keep in mind too that your guardsmen will be much more expensive with that carapace armour on! you're looking at a minimum of 80pts/infantry squad on top of the 2 command squads you'll need and any support squads...
you'll need to be a bit more cautious in your playing as you won't have the mass of bodies that most guard armies can typically fall back on.
cheers!
