A Little Update

I've been working on the Imperial Guard Cards for the Skirmish Game. Here are the cards I have so far for the Guard:


Alvin P Brodingnagian - Ogryn of the 95th Varangian Regiment (Ex-medical Orderly)

  • Whiteshield
  • Guardsman
  • Veteran
  • Heavy Weapon Specialist
  • Sergeant
  • Officer
  • Ogryn
  • Ratling Sniper
  • Demolition Expert
  • Commissar
  • Medic
  • PDF Militia

You can have any mix of these cards up to the cost limit for the start up squad  up to the max limit for the squad as a whole (currently 17 fighters). The money available for the starting squad is currently 750 Thrones, for fighters, extra upgrade equipment/skills (currently it costs 100 Thrones to upgrade to Catachan Jungle Fighters for example) and any mercenary additions - this will get you around 9 basic guardsmen with almost no upgrades, so I need to look at the numbers carefully.

You can assign any squad member as the leader, so you could have a Commissar and his Guard Veteran sidekick leading a group of Whiteshield Guardsmen behind enemy lines


  • 1 Commissar, 1 Veteran and 6 Whiteshields = 682 Thrones before upgrades


Or... go for a specialist 'Commando' team made up of a mix of IG Vets, with a Ratling, Ogryn, Demo Expert, Medic, led by an experienced officer.


  • 1 Officer, 1 Ogryn, 1 Ratling, 1 Demolition Expert, 1 Medic and 1 Veteran = 683 Thrones before upgrades


I want to keep it as open as possible, but prevent the cheese factor.

Cheers Laney
