The 4 elements of guard: -Infantry are an expendable resource, used to screen and contest objectives, and force your opponent to expose themselves. -Artillery (and for other armies deep-strike,) hits what your opponent does not want you to, forcing them to expose themselves. -Tanks remove the forces your opponent exposed. -Officers make everything better.

I approve the Lord General Castor quote. It really is the ultimate reality of the Guard - it's not that commanders do not care about the lives of their soldiers, it's merely a result of the grim mathematics of war.

I hv often heard games are win and lost by movement which i believe deployment can be somewhat included in that. If its warrented or worth it, i would like to see a video going over different movement and deployment strategies based on some standard terrain layouts and lists as its not something i see often talked about other than, its important.

@swest88041 Жыл бұрын

So like... I am terrible at 40k, I like my GSC and guard. lost about 14 of the past 15 games. I play my brother a lot and either he is that good or i'm that bad... but, the one smashing victory i've had recently was a hybrid guard list vs his space marines. (5 tanks, 90ish infantry, 3 squad morter pit and some officers).

@Potato_217 Жыл бұрын

I am new to 40k as a guard. Played my first 2 matches on Sunday and I lost the second game because I was too cautious with my infantry and not used them properly where they should have died. The moment MG said "the guard is meant to die" that hurt a little because I put the time to get them and paint them. Lol

Unfortunately the beloved unit's our Imperial guard troopers, whichever regiment, will die, do not avoid this fact, but make the enemy pay for each death. You may lose two but if they take out two comparative troops or one superior enemy, that is a good trade.

@owenlewis6294 Жыл бұрын

Honestly, using your Infantry as tar pits for enemy melee units is a viable strategy. They don't have to punch hard, but if they keep the enemy away from your Officers and your big guns, they've done their job.

I traditionally run a more armored focus list so usually I’m running 6-8 tanks and 50-70 infantry squads. This edition though I feel it’s not as necessary to have so many because of reinforcements allowing you too bring back 20 man blobs as soon as they die.

@TheTobaccoman Жыл бұрын

Guard golden rules , every single unit is expendable , they simply have levels of expendable status given to each unit and quickness of which they are expended. Though this isn’t the same game it was editions back where I out numbered the enemy so much. Which makes heavy tanks needed these days. Remember , we all die but make it hurt as much as possible for them as well. Glory to the guard.

Great advice! Works for many imperil armies, but the guard do it best. ( except for marines the real real emperors chosen) . The only question remaining is are you a killing officer or a murdering officer?

i used to play Dawn of War 1, skirmishing against hardest AI as Guards. at early game it's a struggle using Guardsman squads against heavily armored infantry like Chaos Space Marine. Tau Fire Warriors can also obliterate these poor infantry at range. the problem with guards, they take casualties so much that the reinforcement cost will set back the tech upgrade and hinder the purchase of new units

I played as IG for years in mp. The best thing to do is tech to a baneblade quickly. I can't remember the order, but i used to get a baneblade out within about 7 ish mins. Requires a buddy to pick up the slack and use 3 squads of infantry smartly.
