Now, many people will scorn me for describing this as "Meatshield" tactics. But in essence, that's what they are! In my Latest army (Valhallans) I'm going to be using a LOT of infantry. The best thing about guard infantry? It's blummin cheap and comes in large numbers. But even the honest guardsman is a worthwile soldier, and you may not always want to sacrifice him. This is where CONSCRIPTS come in. I'll be taking two units of 50 to act as human shields and speed bumps for my Platoons. Your average conscript is only 4 or 5 points a model. They can swamp the enemy and keep those target priority checks at bay. Another useful shield is the Imperial tank. Now before you start screaming at me for placing an expensive piece in front of something less then half it's points, think about it. The average armour value of a Leman russ is front 14, side 12 and rear 10. That means that against most weapons it will just sok damage. Also, the psychological effect a tank has on the enemy is enough to distract him from the infanty. You could also use cheaper tanks, like the chimera. As well as all this, you can of course screen infantry with: MORE INFANTRY. If your opponent has too many targets to shoot at, then he won't be able to destroy everything. If you can see any kinks in this plan, please tell me, and mention how you would improve on it.
