Imperial Guard Tactics
by Warlord Solskritt on Sat Mar 29, 2008 11:55 pm
Well, since there is no other place to post this I'll post it here. I suggest that this forum name be changed to "Imperial Tactics" so that it can include all forces of the Imperium. So my question is: Does anyone have any tactics or advice they want to give me about the Guard? Specifically an Infantry force.

stay put and rapid fire.

How to use a Bayonet
1. Affix bayonet to mounting lug.
2. Charge enemy, keep bayonet between yourself and target.
3. Plunge bayonet into enemy's belly in an upward motion, aiming for vital organs and avoiding ribcage.
4. Repeat as necessary.

anymore tactics besides blasting the enemy to hell and back? I also want to know if anyone has used any of the IG special characters and if they're effective.

Alot of guardsmen with tons of Lascannons and Heavy bolters.
NEVER trust or rely on your guardsmen to do ANYTHING right.

here are some tactics when fighting against Orks.
1- dont waste points on heavy bolters/flamers or any multi shot weapon, you need something wth mobility like Lots of lassguns!
2- always place your vehicles all the way to the front and turn them sideways, this way you can make a nice solid wall for your guys to hide behind.
3- Orks are masters of hand to hand, and lets face it, a lassgun is not good for hand to hand, so get rid of the lassguns and equip all your guys with pistol and close combat weapon, this way you have a chance to fight back !
4- Comisars are useless, is only one guy, wth is he gonna do ??
5- Your comander should lead from the front, he has the best stats and can blunt an ork assault.
6 - Basilisks suck now because orks are to fast, that big gun cant hit anything !
7 - Hellhounds are just to fragile, i mean, think about it, do you want to be next to a mobile gas pump when bunch of orks are shooting at you ... HECK NO !
Hope this help some !!

Never be afraid to sacrifice a Guard Unit to deny the enemy a charge
