    Combat Patrol Help

    I have been collecting IG's for a couple of years, but I havent played many games. I am having a few games this week with the combat patrol rules.

    I have no idea what to use at all so any input would be greatly appreciated.

    I thought of having infiltrators or something with anti-tank squads with meltaguns and meltabombs but what do I know?

    It will be hard to actually use meltaguns and meltabombs, and the few tanks or other worthy targets aren't that hard to kill anyways due to the restrictions.
    Listwise, you could either use hardened vets, or give your squads the "light infantry"doctrine so that they can infiltrate. What models do you have / what style are you going for? I just settled upon a Combat Patrol myself this is it:

    Platoon

    Command Squad
    junior officer w/ pwr wep
    4 guardsmen
    missile launcher
    chimera
    multilaser
    hull heavy bolter
    pintle mounted heavy stubber
    extra armour
    163

    squad 1
    sgnt + 9 guardsmen
    heavy bolter
    70

    Squad 2
    sgnt + 9 guardsmen
    heavy bolter
    70

    Hardened veterans
    veteran sergeant + 6 vets
    2 plasma guns, missile launcher
    96

    Total: 399

    What about grenaders with a squad mounted in a basic Chimera with a comand squad likewise in a Chumera? Give the squad a couple of Plasmaguns and the HQ an Autocannon or something like that.

    or if you got the time and feel like wasting your opponent's time...

    2 squads of 40 conscripts with a commissar attached to both.
    "The Tide of Humanity": IG All-Infantry Army
    admittedly a horrendously overpowered build, just not many able to take the amount of time involved in building and fielding it.

    For a (Recon Themed) Grenadier list, this is what i use:


    1 Grenadier Veteran Sergeant: Bolt Pistol, Power Weapon, Targeter, Frag and Krak Grenades
    7 Grenadiers: Hellguns, Targeters, Frag and Krak Grenades
    2 Grenadiers: Plasma Guns, Targeters, Frag and Krak Grenades
    132 pts

    Chimera IFV: Multi Laser, Heavy Bolter
    85 pts

    7 Stormtroopers: Hellguns, Targeters, Frag and Krak Grenades
    1 Stormtrooper: Grenade Launcher, Targeter, Frag and Krak Grenades
    88 pts

    Sentinel: Multi Laser
    45 pts

    Sentinel: Autocannon
    50 pts

    Total: 400 pts

    You could drop the Sentinels and take 2 maxed Grenadier squads with Chimeras each (just like the first squad in my list) if you wanted.
