imperial guard tactics part 1

[MrMack1376]

Emperor=Waaaagh!!!  For the guard lol

[MegaElite25]

y is the waaagh in the guards?

[Taxistudd]

with orders issued to an infantry platoon, are you issuing per squad within it or does the entire platoon get it as a whole? for example I was sure if you do the 'MoveMoveMove' order that means the entire platoon moves as one, not the individual squad?

[ninjacouncilguild]

ok guys this guy is clueless if you need tactics advice just go to dakka dakka forum its full of good advice this guy has no idea and dosent really have the models he needs to win

[Tophawtdog4411]

omfg he hAs orks!? .... u kno wut big deal! maybe their mercs (which has happened) pretty cool idea imo

[theemporour]

id use the orks as ogrens

[TheDiscoveryCH]

whats whit the orks? its that legal?

[lukenmogs]

the best thing to do is to put ur heavy wepions team on a right flank with a hellhound tank

[hatstalker]

You didnt mention putting special weapons in normal infantry squads, also you didnt mention H Weapons.

They are there to be used, put mortars in the squads once on objectives in cover=pinning shots!

[MrDreamblade]

if infantry are in a transport they can score. remember that.

[lumpyfishful]

hahah my friend use to have twice the amount of points i had but my army was especially built for killing his army like all my heavy weapon guys had lay canons and i perfected my tactics against him

[NWDarkPassionPlay]

Quick question.

Veterans, you just get 10 guardsmen and say their vets or are there separate vet models? I can't see any.

And yes, I have dex and read rules. Just curious on actual models.

[victorm9003]

ok your tactics are what is suspected from a not experienced player... here is the deal guard are terrible in almost every category, the only things that really do anything are heavy weapon units, tanks or anything other then regular units aka vets or elites. personaly i use heavy amounts of heavy weps and some tanks and a wall of guard and i never lose.

[FrazerDoom]

mate you've got a problem. i play imperial guard and if you have a infentry squad it doesnt count as a scouring unit as it does not count as troops but in anhalition they do.

[nstiles42]

@FrazerDoom This would be false. Not even close-- you should read pg. 96 of the Codex.

[PeteJones100]

you need to get some painting done before you start thinking about gaming, mate

[Yank5151]

try actually having all imperial guard instead of Orks then your "advice" might be taken seriously

[TheSimarn]

LOL, ALL WRONG! try two platoons with three squads of guardsmen all with chimeras upgraded with bolters and three leman russes one upgraded to a executioner with Pask in it. Then a vendetta for scouting anti tank and a Medusa for long range.Of 23 games, never lost :)

[ljiiionline]

how many inches tall is a guardsman?

[firebatt227]

@ljiiionline probably like 1 lol

[clayisajedi444]

yea like 1.2 Inches

[chrisjk123]

nice one dude!

[hatstalker]

Also, using a mechanized platoon can be very effective, think about it a heavy bolter a multilaser and some nice armour to soak up gunfire.

i use full mechanized force and it can be affective.

you say you should not upgrade platoons?

i suggest taking a plasma gunner and vox in each squad, they are needed against enemy units with a decent armour save.

Also you use lascanon squads, use rocket launchers they are far more flexible they work as anti infantry and anti tank

[hatstalker]

those models are badly painted, may i suggest using some of citadels washes? they bring out the details in models

[123456lotr]

can imperial gaurd use like the forces of the imperium like drednaughts or something?

[kevinmcd28]

no not unless they are grey knights dreads or marines. if so then theyd be deamhunters,witchhunters, or inquisition

[Kanvasu]

The Imperial Guard ARE a force of the imperium

[gohlke]

whats with  the orks?

[Henners1991]

I don't play guard but surely a heavy bolter is a good weapon to give H Weapon squads? Since a HB fires 3 shots that's better for a low ballistic skill guard squad?

[baberz100]

with heavy weapon squads, i put them together and if their range is decent and the board that im playin on is small i put them in a building and make them stay their and fire

[Fredomfighter455]

wtf there was some ORKS in That rmy

FOR THE EMPORER OF BLAAAAHHHH!

[flatlandsk8ter94]

yea they were proxeys

[0nTheTarget]

do you need to have at least two platoons wich is at least 40 guys to fill the two mandatory troop choices?

[flatlandsk8ter94]

no you can take 2 vet squads which is 10 men each

[0nTheTarget]

thank you I finally have my answer!

[flatlandsk8ter94]

no a vet squad counts as a troops choice. look it up in the dex

[HeadshotRacoonIan]

u don't have to take platoons!!! veterans are SEPARATE troop choices to platoons. Everyone knows it, except you, its even stated in the codex that asterixed units are parts of platoons, and veterans aren't asterixed. And if yu dare ay listen 1 more time to someone, I cut your ears off

[flatlandsk8ter94]

yea its ok man. ometimes GW can be confusing with their organization. vet squads are completley spererate from platoons.

[LILDEATHz]

thanks for understanding, im going to delete all comments before this one so i wont confuse or anger anyone else.

[Alienerd]

I was thinkin of a crazy command squad, and decided on straken with all a melta, a missile launcher and a medic, joined by max admins and deddog and a lord commissar with power weapon and bolt pistol, in an all heavy flamer chimera defended by more tanks in front, although I would try it, as my luck, and yours by the looks the chimera would blow, and destroy the other tanks in the explosion : /

[Alienerd]

Yeah, what he said, he summed it up perfectly. Have an all ranged army, you'll get rushed by a horde, so its good to have a few units dotted around to tie them up, who have chances of defeating them as well,cos its best to have some insurance rather than go neapolitan lists

[Killerhert123]

the command squad i would use is staken, kell, medic, nork deddog and 2 melta gun all with carapace armour in a chimera with a hull heavy flamer

[1cathar]

you can only take 1 special character per command squad

[chaosmanatopia16]

just a quick question why dont u have a squad of heavy support turrets

[Alienerd]

turrets?

[footyhead66]

the command squad was made of orks.....

[guanyu3111]

you need a lee man russ eaven one is enuf the tank can be upgraded to have a gatling run that dos 20 dis rolls werth of hell of a vanquisher which can blow wp eneathing

[40korks]

it's good to meet another imperial guard collector i am getting a cadian infantry squad for my birthday and i'm thinking about making them into veterans would you agree they're good and i agree about the infantry bit sorry about the lengthy read if you read this

[hardrockfreak1337]

Get some better dice. lol

nice vid

[flatlandsk8ter94]

huh?

[hardrockfreak1337]

You rolled poorly for your las cannon to hit rolls. You rolled six times with a 50% chance of success. 3 of those shots should have been hits. You rolled two hits. Also, you rolled a 1 on the to wound rolls. Which is horribly unlucky.

[flatlandsk8ter94]

thats what i do lol

[WTFTEEHEE]

how to beat guards man... carnifex or mega nobs . Waaaagh!!!

[flatlandsk8ter94]

thats where the russes come in

[WTFTEEHEE]

no its funny when you get just lotsa guardsmen with no lemon russes they cant hurt the mighty nobs or nifex lol

[flatlandsk8ter94]

thats true...unless you have a kick ass HQ choice like mine lol (2-3 meltas + medic + straken=pwn nob/fex)

[WTFTEEHEE]

thats why umm... thats why... Waaaagh!

[flatlandsk8ter94]

lmao

[WTFTEEHEE]

no i got it now stompa/figta bomba/tankbustas/flamers with hot nozzels/100's and 1000's of boys .... Waaaagh!

[Charlie2688]

Pretty interesting video :D, btw something that caught my eye...what dice are those? (brand and type)(chessex?)

[flatlandsk8ter94]

chessex and the colors are scarlet and gold pips. they were about 12 $

[unrealzombiekiller]

i just got a cadian battleforce today, magnetized the heavy weps and sentinal!

do i need a platoon company for each 2 squads of imperial guards? any tips for weapon selection would be very nice! happy wargaming!! =)

[flatlandsk8ter94]

nice

yea unless there vets.

[Altier215]

yay, now i know how to beat guard

[flatlandsk8ter94]

uh oh, and hows that?

[Altier215]

lol, u gave me tips on how to run ur army, and a new guy at our club plays almost exactly what u do, but he has all the modells and is a cadian guy. he also has another platoon with 2 infantry squads, a command squad, a sentinel, and 3 heavy lass cannons in a heavy weapon squad

[flatlandsk8ter94]

ohh i see, yea with my army all you have to do is stay away from the chimeras and the blast the shit out of my troops.

[greyfur1]

@Altier215 charg the gard with there liw inish allmost all armys sep tau cos thay suck up clows can beat them in clows combat dont to shooting maces with them u will lose

[flyingmonkey1001]

@Altier215 Buddy Guard Don't Have Tactics Only thing Rush with 100-200 troops xD

[Thorn12West]

Great idea for your elites! Get another squad ((If you can)) and try to take out a lord or captain or something....RReally awesome that you made another video so soon, cant wait for the rest....I love Imperial Guard and they'll be my second army.....I'm into the wave after wave of soldier, turrents and all that crap :P

[Oyufurodai]

how can you give tactics to beginning players when your more of a beginner yourself? didn't you just start imps like a week ago? (no offense)

[flatlandsk8ter94]

im just telling everybody what i learned in the short time i have played. and aslo i play agains ig players who are good and i get some ideas from them too

[fantacy2is2mi5life]
