Army Design Help

[IamJasonK]

I have purchased a lot of units in a unplanned way, mostly from E-Bay. I know better now and have directed my recent purchases towards a goal. Until I have my goal army I thought you guys with more experience could help. With what I own can you design a good army for 500, 1000, and 1500pt games. FYI my friends will let me count one thing as another for play testing purposes, but I want to be able to play with the rule facists at a Games Workshop.

1 Chimera
1 Basilisk
1 Leman Russ Tank
3 Sentinels with Multilaser
6 lascannons
3 Commisars
1 vet with banner
1 vet with med pack
3 officers
4 rocket launchers
1 ogryn
34 guardsmen
5 guardsmen w/vox caster
9 sergeants
6 guardsmen w/flamers
5 guardsmen w/grenade launchers
1 guardsmen w/plasma rifle
1 guardsmen w/melta gun
4 guardsmen w/tau rifle

Justa question but why do you have guardsmen w/ a tau rifle?
but if you wanted to to take an army for 500 points i would take-

senior office
command squad

Bolt pistol 1pt
Meltgun 10pts
Carapace armour(for officer) 5pts
Power sword (officer) 5pts

Junior officer
command squad

Grenade launcher 8pts
Carapacearmour(officer) 5pts
Power sword(officer) 5pts

Squad 1
9 guardsmen1 Sarge

Carapaced 20pts
Grenade launcher 8pts
Vet Sarge 6pts

Squad 2
9 guardsmen1 Sarge

Carapaced 20pts
Grenade launcher 8pts
Vet Sarge 6pts

Armoured Fist squad
9 guardsmen1 Sarge

Chimera 70pts
Multi-Laser 10pts
Heavy bolter 5pts
Carapaced 20pts
Grenade launcher 8pts
Vet Sarge 6pts

501pts is total


OK if people get mad at the one point over 500 just take out the bolt pistol in the Senior Officer squad . And do you have the codex yet cause if not you are going to need it.
so there you go a 500 point list for you.


Peace out and be happy

Kasrkin, don't post the point cost for individual wargear items; you'll get suspended faster than you can blink an eye.

I agree with the list on most counts, however there's a real lack of firepower in it overall so I'd recommend something like this:

Senior officer boltpistol/power weapon, Iron discipline
Meltgun
3 normal guardsmen

Junior officer storm bolter, Iron discipline
Grenade launcher
3 normal guardsmen

Squard 1
Sharpshooters
Grenade launcher
Missile Launcher
8 normal guardsmen

Squad 2
Sharpshooters
Grenade launcher
Missile Launcher
8 normal guardsmen

Armoured Fist squad Chimera
Multi-Laser
Heavy bolter(on Chimera)
Sharpshooters
Grenade launcher
Missile launcher
8 normal guardsmen

499pts is total

And I'm supposing the Guardsmen with pulse rifles have them because the guy who was selling them put them together that way, I have a guy or two like that in my army I just treat them as normal guys with a flahy looking lasgun.

I'll work on ideas for higher points values when I'm near my codex again.

The 4 guardsmen with the Tau rifle came from an E-Bay purchase. I got a good chunk of my army with 1 ebay purchase. They seller problaby said they were sniper rifles or something. Trust me I regret my E-Bay purchases.

I have the new rulebook and the Imperial Guard Codex.
I just haven't used my army much.
