OK, so thanks to Digits with his Tale of a couple dozen gamers thread, i have been thinking about painting and modelling some 40k again. I am thinking of going Guard (again, but i do love the guard) and going for a WW2 US Rangers theme, lots of infantry, lots of shooting, fearless (kind of), you get the picture. Incidentally, if you don't know the unit, the best example i can give you without telling you to WIKI would be to watch Saving Private Ryan, as Tom Hanks character is a captain of the US Army Rangers. Anyway, i am not looking for a super competetive tournament style list, just one that give a good theme, will look fantastic (this army is mainly going to be a display one, lots of cool conversions and stuff) and be played for fun occasionally, but will allow me to write decent background for it. Writing is something i want to start again. let me know what you think of this list so far. Doctrines Heavy Weapon Platoons Die-Hards Iron Discipline Sharpshooters Veterans HQ Heroic Senior officer - 70 Power Weapon - 5, Refractor Field - 15, trademark Item - 10, Iron Discipline - 5 4 Veterans - 24, Medic - 5, Melta - 10. Die Hards - 5 Sharpshooters - 10 Total = 159 ELITES None (yet) TROOPS 1st Platoon Junior Officer - 40, Iron Discipline - 5 4 Veterans - 24, Melta - 10, Medic - 5 Die Hards - 5 Sharpshooters - 10 Total = 99 Veteran Sergeant - 6 (Lasrifle) 9 Guardsmen - 60, Flamer - 6, Missile Launcher - 15, Frag Grenades - 10 Die Hards - 5 Sharpshooters - 10 Total = 112 Veteran Sergeant - 6 (Lasrifle) 9 Guardsmen - 60, Flamer - 6, Missile Launcher - 15, Frag Grenades - 10 Die Hards - 5 Sharpshooters - 10 Total = 112 2nd Platoon Junior Officer - 40, Iron Discipline - 5 4 Veterans - 24, Melta - 10, Medic - 5 Die Hards - 5 Sharpshooters - 10 Total = 99 Veteran Sergeant - 6 (Lasrifle) 9 Guardsmen - 60, Flamer - 6, Missile Launcher - 15, Frag Grenades - 10 Die Hards - 5 Sharpshooters - 10 Total = 112 Veteran Sergeant - 6 (Lasrifle) 9 Guardsmen - 60, Flamer - 6, Missile Launcher - 15, Frag Grenades - 10 Die Hards - 5 Sharpshooters - 10 Total = 112 FAST ATTACK (None) HEAVY SUPPORT 1st Support Platoon (Heavy Weapons Platoon) Junior Officer - 40, Iron Discipline - 5 4 Veterans - 24, Melta - 10, Medic - 5 Die Hards - 5 Sharpshooters - 10 Total = 99 Fire Support Squad - 35 3 Autocannons - 60 Die Hards - 5 Total = 100 List Total = 1004 I am planning on adding more, but building this section first (depending on the poitns sections for each segment of Digits plan). Anyway C&C appreciated. - m0h |

That would be a great unit to model. Lots of ropes and climbing gear would look fantastic on a bunch of Guard. |

Now that you mention it, I might just do that ![]() Does the list look ok? and is it big enough at 1k points, cause i know a lot of people (arseholes mainly) who refuse to play less then 2k! (incidentally these same gits only play Deathwing or other small elite armies, unlike myself and a couple of others who play Guard, Orks and Nids respectively and have to purchase loads of models in order to field said points!) I prefer to play 1k - 1.5k points myslef, that way it dosent take ages to play a normal game. - m0h Edited by Sachiel, 25 Sep 2008, 05:23 PM.
