Default PDF forces

i am thinking. after the TOXG, i will have 1k of daemons. the next TOXG will probably (for me at least) be a giant mass of pdf troopers. this will be apoc size (actually really huge) all of them will be regualar infanrty platoons and 1 command platoon for each 300 soldiers (obviously this will hake awhile)

what do you guys think, could a PDF force be represented by the guard? even though the guard armylist is company sized?

Yeah. Just use some stuff different from a normal regiment. You could use autoguns instead of lasguns, Quad Launchers instead of Basilisks, a Malcador here in there etc. PDF are basically second rate Imperial Guardsmen on babysitting duty, and don't always get the best equipment.

My PDF are Brettonians and Empire troops from WHFB. Check my history of Valdenheim why but thats what I use. I figure PDF can be just about anything that assists the Guard in controlling planets. Give them conscript stats and you should be good to go.

I thought so, but I was just making sure that I wasn't going to make a fool of myself by assuming it was something else. I mean we all know what happens when you assume things it makes an a.... well you know the rest.

Yeah I think an Apoc size PDF force would be sweet. I think that if you don't want to convert that many models lasguns would be fine. In the Fluff las-weaponery seems to be fairly abundant so I don't see a problem with that. For other bells and wistles I don't think I would use any techology other than projectile weapons. Granade Launchers, Heavy Bolters, Auto-cannons (personally I love these things and the models are sweet), etc. etc. I wouldn't take any power weapons or refactor fields. Maybe a few priests. I could see PDF's using these to get their defense forces riled up when defending against untold odds in nasty seige senarios.

Just my two cents,
Servo

Conscipts! Lots!

Commissars would also be ok. The Imperium sends those bastards everywhere. Priests are a good idea.

Abhumans are a possiblity even.......

Really anything is a possibility...I imagine places like Cadia, Armageddon, and Medusa have experienced and well equipped PDF's. While worlds like Quintarn would have 2nd rate soldiers who haven't seen a day of real combat in their lives.

Or you have Valdenheim which is a feudal world with very different PDF. Really you can do what you want, which is what makes PDF so cool.
