Warlord Trait – Lead From the Front: The warlord has 6″ heroic and re-rolls hits in the first round of combat. Yourcompleteguide to rules, points, lore, hobby tips, and pretty artworks to support an Imperial Guard army, the Astra Militarum codex is an essential book to own, read, and understand. Cheap though accessing them is, really only two of these matter – you aren’t going to put guard psykers in your list if what you want is psychic firepower, certainly not now that Inquisitors exist. Psychic Barrier and Nightshroud are both good stuff though – if you’re bringing Bullgryn or a Super Heavy you want these in your list, and even if you just have Tank Commanders or Pask being able to access them via a 35pt elite slot is such a low cost (while giving you a deny in your castle) that it’s frequently worth it.

Tempestus Regiment>: The keyword, but Tempestus Scions flavor. You’re only going to benefit from this one if every unit with a variable keyword in the detachment has this. The Death Korps of Krieg don’t have as many rules as the other regiments but have their own Doctrine in the Imperial Armour Compendium that’s worth pointing out here. You’re never taking this trait unless your force to for playing Death Korps, which is great news because it’s really terrible. However you approach the Astra Militarum, you’ll find that they’re a strong force that embodies all that’s hopeful and noble in the grimdark Warhammer 40,000 universe. Whilst other armies can rely on magic powers or divine intervention, the Imperial Guard have only each other.Resplendent in golden armour atop his cybernetic horse Konstantin, Lord Solar Leontus is effectively the new ‘big boss’ of the Imperial Guard. Implacable Determination: Your warlord and one unit within 3″ of them can auto-advance 6″. I’m honestly surprised, reading this, that it’s never received wording clarification on trigger timing, especially as Guard has a trivial way to advance out of phase. The fact that this is the first time I am noticing this should key you into the fact that it’s probably not that great. Another one that does, to be fair, probably merits the occasional second look with progeny, but not much of one. C If standing with your fellow humans against all odds sounds like your cup of recaff, read on for the latest new Astra Militarum models, details of their lore and tactics, Warhammer 40k codex releases, and more.

Adding 1 to wound rolls is a welcome addition to the fight against CHAOS – whether your soldiers are gunning down warp-shielded daemons or blood-crazed Space Marines . Thanks to Hallofstovokor on Reddit for this suggestion. Two of the Easy to Build boxes that contain five Guardsmen can be used to make two new full squads of Guardsmen. The sprues in the Start Collecting box allow you to make two Sergeants, two Vox-Casters, two Flamers or Grenade Launchers and then four regular Lasgun Guardsmen. If you add on the ten Guardsmen from two boxes of Easy to Build Guardsmen then you can make two squads of the following models; Between these three books – the Astra Militarum 8th Edition Codex, Psychic Awakening: The Greater Good, and the Imperial Armour Compendium – you should have all the rules on hand you’ll need for your army. Then again, if you’re not in a tearing hurry, it might be better to hold on for the 9th Editioncodexto come along. We can’t make that call for you – may the Emperor guide your decision.

Wrap-up

Good Shooting: The Guard doesn’t have much in the way of combat, but even with one of the oldest books in the game, a fully-intact Guard army might take the cake for the most powerful shooting in the game (beside Admech, anyways). The Leman Russ battle tank is the dumpy AK47 of the tank world. It comes with a bajilion weapon options, but either the standard battle cannon or the demolisher cannon are the best choices for the main turret gun. Multi-melta sponsons are also particularly entertaining against enemy armour and heavy infantry, but cost a bunch more points than a pair of good ol’ heavy bolters. For the hull gun, I tend to favour the lascannon due to the builds that make sense on the infantry squads (again, see the Sneaky Build Tips).

Stratagem – Tactical Misdirection – 1CP: When one of your units destroys an enemy unit, your opponent gets -1 to hit when shooting against anything else if your unit is their closest target. The most famous defenders of humanity are the Space Marines, demigods created by the Emperor of Mankindwho stand as a bulwark against the worst the universe has to throw at them. They’re peerless in battle, but they’re few, and can’t win galactic wars on their own. In their own way, the human soldiers of the Imperial Guard boast far more bravery, grit, and determination than even theAdeptus Astartes can muster. AEven their special weapons platforms and Imperial Guard tanks aren’t as well armoured as some other forces’ equivalents, so you’ll have to keep an eye on damage if you want to succeed. These guys are fine as a generic upgrade on the baseline. Their doctrine is a better version of Storm Troopers most of the time, as there aren’t that many ways to get hit bonuses on Scions, while their stratagem is just generally potent, and the warlord trait can add a good spike in some circumstances. It isn’t quite as good as the top three ones but is very much emblematic of there being no terrible choices here. 133rd Lambdan Lions The imposing Commissar character unit is an iconof the Imperial Guard army, and it’s fitting that it get its own, slightly upsized redesign, in line with the Cadian infantry units. In summary, you can use multiple Heavy Weapons on one base. Don’t glue the weapon on. Then just pop it on and off as you need for your games. It takes a little bit of converting and ensuring you can remove it from the base once the Guardsmen are glued in place – but it’s possible.
