Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Imperial Guard/Armoured Battlegroup (section)

===HQ=== 
*'''Company Command Tank:''' Your command vehicle, the company command tank has the ability to give orders to your other tanks in the same way that infantry command squads do, allowing them to  better smash the enemy. Your command tank can be any of the standard Leman Russ variants, and comes with an improved BS. However it is expensive, so don’t go overboard giving it upgrades.
**Armoured Company command/commissar tanks can bring their own special BS4 version of the Vanquisher, with a co-ax Heavy Stubber giving TL BS4 shots out to 36", and '''Beast Hunter Shells''', a S8 AP2 small blast causing '''instant FUCKING death''', and an extra hull point. You're allowed to ally an AC list to Codex IG: - Bring one Vanq command Russ (req HQ), one Vanq commissar Russ (opt Elite - plus '''all''' IG units within 6" of hull have Ld10. Stop your cowards fleeing off the objectives), and then use your required troop slot on that other Russ you were going to bring anyway... but with better upgrade options. Now you have 3 Russes with all of your Heavy Support slots free for some interesting alternatives. (Super mega-death loadout: BS4, 4HP, TL Beasterhunter/AT Vanq shells, Lascannon, 2 Multimeltas. 250pts but you will fuck any goddamn tank or MC that looks at you sideways. Just don't get shot up the arse. Place commissar tank (Ld10 bubble) near cowardly heavy weapons teams in a defence line fortification for a maximum dakka outpost)

*'''Armoured Fist Command Squad:''' It's a Platoon Command Squad in a Chimera. You can also upgrade it to be a Company Command Squad, but with no option for a medic or any regimental advisors. Comes with the Senior/Junior Officer rule so you can issue "normal" orders to those infantrymen you brought with you to shore up your objectives. 

*'''Salamander Reconnaissance Commander:''' It's fragile and poorly-armed, but it's not designed to shoot or be shot at. What it ''is'' designed for is causing massive amounts of [[Not as Planned]]. In particular, you can use its built-in auspex to reduce enemy cover saves, then order concentrated fire to mess with them even more. Suddenly those [[Tau|weaboo]] 3+ cover save tanks aren't that imposing.

====Special Characters====

*'''Captain Obadiah Schfeer:''' A contradiction. He's riding in a Vanquisher, but he doesn't have Beasthunter Shells and his Warlord Trait penalizes enemy Leadership tests in a 12" bubble, which makes him an expensive command tank that's outperformed by specialized command tank builds.

*'''Colonel 'Snake' Stranski:''' A Command Squad in a Chimera, which counts as Scoring, and the Colonel can fire his twin-linked plasma pistols without using up one of the tank's fire points. Cool, but not really worth the cost, especially as he lacks the Senior Officer rule and is thus unable to issue orders.

*'''General Grizmund:''' Fantastic. Very expensive, but he can give a Troops Russ squadron BS4 for no additional cost and friendly tanks within 12" reroll the first missed roll to hit every Shooting phase (note that this only really affects Vanquishers and Punishers; every other tank either rolls ''scatter,'' meaning the ability doesn't work, or they're already twin-linked on the primary gun). Park him and some friends in a spot with good vision and blast the living daylights out of anything that pokes its head above ground. He combos best with Vanquishers; Master-Crafted BS4 will score a hit almost ''90%'' of the time. With a 6-foot range, your squadron of can openers can turn any vehicle on the board inside out.
