I once played a game, smurfs and I.G. vs CSM and Orks, around 1500 per player. the other team went first. One of the CSMs defilers fired its main battle cannon at one of my infantry squads and killed all but the missile launcher. that one missile launcher went on to blow off the very gun that killed its squad, survived several vengeance shots from other guns and killed several berserkers before ...

Man, the competition is stiff this time round - not sure who to vote for as there are so many good entries. BTW, the voting rules seem different - is it indeed correct that we get 3 votes? Why the change? Inquisitor Psychologis Ruminahui

They're all good for nothing; why do you think they're in the penal legions in the first place?

My most current project: ps. if you look to the right you'll se vladimir putin. AND nice Vostroyans to Goyder! Nice Cadians to LobsterBack! (liking the officer's hat) Nice Elysian Sentinel to U9K13! (I draw inspiration from your work)

Yeah. It can be a tough choice. I think that most including myself would take Valks because they transport special troops well and have either a anti-infantry or anti-vehicle option and they're tough to take down allegedly. I don't know Valks from personal experience, however. I like Sentinels because I have 6 of them and they are some of my oldest models (they've been a work in progress for a ...

Sorry to hear some of the games have been disappointing. IG certainly does have the tools to address this however, and there are some general things you can do as well. *Indirect fire - hide all you want, won't help you against mortars, griffons, basilisks, manticores, etc. *The Big Threat (tm) - some of the arty pieces, aside from being good at hitting hiding enemies, can also be good at...

You already give the reason for taking them. They're shock troops. Dropping in behind enemy line and wreck some expensive stuff. Their gun are pretty damn good I think. Weapon of choice against those Archons with Incubi out there. In sufficient number coupled with some orders they can cripple a space marine squad. Also a good CC choice against Tau, since they are armed with both pistol and CC ...

Well, you have a number of options: 1. You can use normal guard, and simply paint/convert them differently; 2. As per #1 but also choose choices you find evocative of how you see a traitor guard list (veterans, ogrynn, primaris psychers and battle psycher squads are all good choices); 3. The Siege of Vraks lists have one or more chaos traitor lists - with opponent's permission you could use ...

i did once (well i had a chimera and a valkerie so was really about 1800 of guardsmen) i did it , i won(dunno how lol), and i got really bloody board of roling dice

You can use whatever you like as long as its a guardsman armed with a lasgun! That is the simple answer of course. If you want to make an effort to model them differently you could try a number of things. Explosive neck collars, serial numbers on backs, shaved heads, different coloured fatigues (orange, white and black stripes) could all be used if your men are captured criminals. Another ...
