Imperial Guard

Hello All

I am back again sorry for disappearing again I tend to do that mainly cause A. I have been going nuts with stuff and my poor internet blogs suffer, and B my room has once again turned into cos-play station so Yeah it will be some time before I can get some decent blogs up but I will try to get something nice up this weekend.

As for the tournament last month or so My Thousand Sons ranked 30 out of 36 so i was pretty low man on the ladder but At lest I wasn't number 36.

Now Here is my view on the New Guard Codex....I love it

I like alot of what they did with them and i feel they now feel more like what there fluff makes them out to be. The order system is amazing And "Fire on my Target" + Master of Ord. Is death ^_^ and it now allows for more types of game play rather then basicly a small alternate from the standard now you can actaully make a army built for your style of playing!

I also found the prices to be a bit better I mean with out even tring I managed to get about 70 men on the feild in troops alone and still get 8 tanks in there. I a a bit sad of some state changes but to be honest i can live, I have played a small game with my one troop and HQ unit and so far I like I can;t wait to pit them against some orks with the new codex now in my hand! All in all i give the new codex a solid 9 cause there is just so much to do I can;t decide and i wish they made it easier to pick!

All in all I like the change and i hope that My Guard have blessing of the Empoer and the Machine Spirit for they are Macanica loyal ^_^

Now here is my new Army list for the Legends of War game that my Guard are being built for.

HQ
Command Squad: Vox-caster, Master of Ord. Standard and a Power wepaon for Cutter: 110
Tech Priest: Melta bombs 3 Tech. Servs.: 95

Troops
Platoon One
Command Squad Plasma Pistol and Vox: 45
Troop Squad A: Vox, Autocannon: 65
Troop Squad B: Vox, Autocannon: 65
Troop Squad C: Vox, Autocannon, Chimera : 110

Platoon Two
Command Squad Plasma Pistol and Vox: 45
Troop Squad A: Vox, Autocannon: 65
Troop Squad B: Vox, Autocannon: 65
Troop Squad C: Vox, Chimera : 110

Fast Attack
Vendetta: Heavy Bolter Sponsons: 140

Heavy Support
Tank Squad
Battle Tank: Plasma Cannon Spons: 200
Punisher: Heavy Bolter Spons: 200
Executioner: Heavy Bolter Spons, Lascann0n: 180

Artillery Squad

Basilisk: 125
Basilisk: 125

This gives me 1745 so i will throw some extra add-ons some where but tell me all who read this...Do you think i should sack the Vendetta and grab a Colossus? or do you think i should keep my fast attack transport? Let me know what you think, A Colossus would fit a bit more with a Tank Regimate indeed and allow me at lest one shot where cover saves can not save you, but I kinda felt that maybe the Vendetta would be better for getting a troop choice into a hard to reach spot fast and deal punishment when it wasn;t moving men so let me know what you think!

That is all for now until next time!

I haven't actually used Valks or Vends quite yet, so take the following advice with a grain of salt, but I would use the big birds to transport either a command squad or a vet squad. I think this is because I used to play Eldar and valks remind me of wave serpents- use them to drop off a melta or plas unit to wreak havoc before dying and hopefully make their points back.
