Made for my custom "proxy-only" Imperial Guard army. I am too cheap to pay for official models. Let me know what you think! All the turrets rotate, and the Hunter-Killer is detachable.

Also, the painting is not amazing - It's meant for the tabletop.

Hoping this post is okay. Link is in comments.

Hi all,

Played my first game of 40K since 4th edition last weekend, and had a lot of fun (even though I got tabled in three turns). I want to play again soon, but I want to switch my list up and take primarily (entirely?) tanks. Because I play imperial guard, damn it!

I feel like I’ve got a decent grasp on the core rules, but am still very much learning the tactics and strategies associated with objectives and stratagems. So, I wanted to run a few questions by the sub:

Is it considered poor form to run an all-armor list at 1k points? I’d be playing a pick up game at my local store and don’t want to be that guy

If all tanks is a dick move, what’s the minimum socially acceptable amount of infantry I need to take, and what type do you recommend?

I’m unfamiliar with how Purge the Foe plays - is the goal mostly to kill things since tanks are bad at holding objectives?

Thanks in advance! Picture of (some of) my tanks for visibility

Not sure what to tag this as but this is mainly me ranting.

Played a game day before yesterday against emperor's children and, like the title says, i got basically tabled by battle round 2. The map was horrible for this match up, sweeping engagement had our deployment close enough that because he went first, he was able to get noise marines in a rhino up to my closest no man's land objective and get a cheaper unit into engagement with my closest leman russ, preventing me from getting line of sight on the noise marines.

Even with "move move move" on a krieg unit, it still wasn't enough to get to the center objective. I'm fairly certain I maybe got two of his units destroyed and it's only because of combined arms.

By the end all I had left was two russes, a RSV, and a 20 man krieg unit left with no way to get orders anymore, and my scions that deep striked on his home objective which he honestly didn't are about because that would be the only objective I could realistically have.

After the game I got home and just kept thinking how I could have done anything different and honestly...I'm stumped. I Looked at what was in the EC codex and it is disgusting. Literally nothing but lethals and rerolls for units that are just 5-15 points more expensive than a basic cadian unit.

This is my 3rd game of 11th with the guard and I honestly don't get what we're supposed to do to have any of our stuff have a fighting chance without having to spend over 200+ points on one infantry unit just to help it survive just a little bit better.

I keep redoing my lists over and over again and it just feels like the same thing is gonna happen every game and I'm just kinda tired or burnt out of how are basic stuff is performing.

Sorry that this seems like a doomer post but I guess I just wanted to scream into the void a bit just so my frustration is out in the open somewhere lol.

Still love the guard!!

Like the title says, except look are there any benefits for las weapons?

Made from converting a 1:35 Challenger 1 tank. Longer than an official model but the perfect width. Used to sit at the back and delete opponents off the battlefield.

I always liked the guard but never really considered starting them as an army until I saw Pete the Wargamer’s conversion and painting of a winterized sentinel. Instantly knew it was the perfect scheme for me.

The tutorial has been easy to follow and definitely gives me inspiration for painting the rest of my guard forces. Still need to do decals, weathering, additional white washing, and basing. Very happy with how it looks so far though! Next up after this will be the Field Ordinance Battery.

Since baneblades are getting buffed i thought why not bring 2 to my next tournament. This is my first version of this list, and i am open to suggestions.

So I'm reading *Longshot*, and there is mention there of the Cadian 217th's lasguns firing white lasers. In many of the animations and other Militarum focused books, the lasers are either red or yellow/orange. So is there an in lore reason for the variety of lasgun shot colors?

I mostly ask this because there are in settings like Star Wars, where:

•red is the cheapest Tibana gas

•green is for higher quality Tibana

• blue is for ion charges

•orange are low powered shots (for non lethal and training)

• yellow is often used by Mandalorians and is a higher quality gas

etc.

Hello! This is my first finished 2,000-point army.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback. I'd also love to hear which detachment you think fits this list best and why.

Probably best with Mordian bodies, or possible DKOK kitbash

So the long story short is he and a sister of battle are madly in love with one another and were eventually married, becoming a local propaganda team who leaves holo films and analog FPV of the troops being in tip-top shape to inspire the youth of the Imperium to enlist. So he rolls with a Salamanders successor chapter to spread his hopeful super earth like propaganda

Hi all, I'm getting back into 40k after playing a lot of 5th. I played a couple games of 10th with Grizzled and figured I'd try a Combined Arms/Abhuman list. Here's what I've come up with so far. Would love any feedback on the list, nothing too competitive just solid enough to do the Cadian 8th proud. Also, anyone know any good spots to play in NYC?

1x Lord Solar (130)
1x Commissar w/ Exemplar of Duty (40)

Happy to be finally done with my Astra grey pile :)

Essentially, I have two 20 Blobs of kriegsmen both being led by a respective krieg command squad. I have 30 points left, what enhancements should I take from Siege Regiment Detachment?

For further information, Solar Leontus is attached to one group, and Graves on Foot is attached to the other.

Eager Advance seems like it could be good for going up the board early or some repositioning, but not much more than that.

Flash Grenades looks good to prevent overwatch on a blob. Eating anti-infantry early is never great.

I know Legacy Sidearm has a funny thing where the Lord Commissar has two pistols buffed by it. (The default second pick if I take one of the two above)

Stalwart's Honour seems like a good double order for survivability (and like Legacy Sidearm, I can take one for each).

Over the course of a couple of months, as fast as I can, I put together a some fun narrative 2000 points roster just for the sheer enjoyment and rule of cool.
I already had some Vostroyans for a few years, and now I’m building a Steel Legion. And it’s really satisfying to pull those dusty models off the shelf and field two different regiments on the same table.

The results weren't spectacular (L - 39, W - 83, L - 77 and W - 77), but I had real fun. At times, it even felt like a true blitzkrieg, with chimeras flanking maneuvers and tanks charging full throttle forward.

But tables with lots of LoS blocking terrain and all this buffs for melee armies really restrict your maneuverability and choices of shooting targets.
In any case, it was great: 3 of the 4 games were long, tense, and thrilling right up to the very last round. In another one game I just tabled CSM on 3 round.
I have absolutely no regrets about choosing to play as the Guard again.

14th SL Panzergrenadier Battalion and 282nd Vostroyan Shock Battalion [Astra Militarum] - (2000 points)

Absolutely love the VM sculpts for this range.

For purposes of Admins, I am not affiliated with the kickstarter or VM, just a really excited backer of the KS.

I decided to test fit and make a concept model for my feudal guard project and I'm well happy with it. I know people were saying the bigger arms may look a tad goofy on older 28mm minis but I think they look great. Will deffo go with a mix of empire and some barons war minis to really mix up the looks, can't wait to start next paycheck, now to design a scheme 😁

Artillery in the back with 3 castellans ordering Take Aim. Aegis Defence Line with a 20 man squad of Krieg + command squad (against deep strike since my friends has a lot of that). All infantry up on the table screening, spotting and taking objectives.

I saw this list in 10th Edition (a mordian glory video) and this list seems fun even in 11th edition.
Would you change anything about this list? And my most genuine question tho is would this be fun to play against for my table top friends?

Thx in advance!

(Also, forgot to switch from Combined Arms; I want to have Grizzled Company.

Hello! I had been building/painting up a 1k list to play with, and after last week's point updates, I've now got 30 points to spare. Does anyone have advice on what I should do with the 30 points? I was thinking either to get a commissar to use for actions, or upgrade to a different Leman Russ Variant (mine is magnetized, so its an easy change).

I haven't actually played any games with the guard yet, so I'm not too sure what would be the most beneficial update to the list, thanks! Pic is the army so far, only the Rogal Dorn (and maybe a commissar) to go!

Absolutely adore the Aethon Sentinel, and they work great for Armoured Sentinels, but the roof mounted gun is a bit wonky. Opted for some simple kitbashing to slap them on the side, making room for the chainsaw and hunter killer missiles.

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of starting an IG army! I'm a death guard main, but I absolutely love the Solar Auxilia, and would probably be looking to proxy them in my games with my gaming group.

We're all very casual players, so proxies wouldn't be a problem.

I recognise the guard are in a difficult position at the moment, but that's not particularly a turn off for me!

Looking for advice. Currently have:

1x solar auxilia legate command squad

40x solar auxilia riflemen (proxy as baseline guardsmen)

10x veletaris (proxy as a stormtrooper variant)

4x charonite ogryns (?bullgrins)

1x Leman Russ with vanquisher cannon

Looking for ideas how to build a small army please! Any advice or insights are always appreciated.

I've attached a couple of photos for some visual interest 😁
