It's impossible to take 40K seriously, but I like to at least try to ground it in our world!<br /><br />>COTBT: Yeah, I used to hold a commission in the reserves (TA), but that was another life, really. I also once tried to name all the men in my army. Ha! No chance.<br /><br />>Bryan; oink: You've gotta love the infantry - the <i>toffee</i> hammer of the emperor. <br /><br />>Masta Cheef: Thanks. I just can't bring myself to go there...<br /><br />>BoxerSaint: I have no trouble believing that at all, mate!<br /><br />Cheers!Admiral Draxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476823273954165890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-26670998652890805352011-08-17T13:52:58.616+01:002011-08-17T13:52:58.616+01:00Alongside my chimelta vets I always take one plato...Alongside my chimelta vets I always take one platoon as follows:<br /><br />PCS - lasguns<br /><br />Commissar<br />Infantry Squad<br />Infantry Squad (Always combined)<br /><br />2xMortar Heavy Weapon Teams<br /><br />The mortars are, as you said, 'Bloody Brilliant', and the 21 man infantry squad can usually hold one half of the table by themselves against most infantry units. The PCS gives them first rank second rank, and they hold the line all game long. It is my 285 point battle line.BoxerSainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05092420315975041509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-11707097215293056152011-08-17T13:23:16.867+01:002011-08-17T13:23:16.867+01:00Its so nice to see a blog post hat champion's ...Its so nice to see a blog post hat champion's the infantry platoon, rather than just insisting that 'chimeltavets' are the only things worth fielding. <br /><br />Bravo sir!Da Masta Cheefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941441877537371502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-18470890208809526362011-08-17T10:00:15.491+01:002011-08-17T10:00:15.491+01:00Ah, organisation... the mark of a true Imperial Gu...Ah, organisation... the mark of a true Imperial Guard player!<br /><br />I've spent weeks now working out the designation of all of my tanks using the 3-digit early WW2 german system. <br /><br />When I bought all my infantry I sorted them out... and then slowly didn't get stuff painted! So I really need to take a leaf out of your book and re-arrange them all before getting squads and platoons painted up.<br /><br />yes, you might not know it looking at my blog recently, but I do got infantry too! lolLuis Nieveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16104268520391688183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-17640552006375821922011-08-17T04:48:28.329+01:002011-08-17T04:48:28.329+01:00I am taking notes here...I am taking notes here...Amateur Barbarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520446832445555148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-45468594757107102702011-08-17T03:34:33.238+01:002011-08-17T03:34:33.238+01:00It's fun specifying roles.

I really like the realistic way you built your force. were you in the reserves or army?<br /><br />In my Steel legion I actually made the individual models with roles in mind (eg bayonets and flamer = assault squad, normal lasguns and grenade launcher = fire support)<br />One bayonet squad also had krak and melta = tank hunters.<br /><br />But when it came to set up it took too long, so in my russian VDV army I'm just making individual people and only special weapons define the purpose.revenanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826237082533895833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-23755678265855547032011-08-17T01:08:43.341+01:002011-08-17T01:08:43.341+01:00Too bad you're across the pond.
