Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Imperial Guard (section)

====Tactics====
*'''Outflanking Death Riders''' *Deathriders are perhaps the single greatest edge you have over any other IG regiment, Rough Riders simply cannot compare (although they do make excellent tank hunters). 
Use '''Flanking Maneuvers''' to put up to ''50'' horses in your opponent's backfield for every Deathrider Command Squad in your army. An all Deathrider army is perfectly feasible and highly competitive, though it works best when supported by a horde of infantry and mortar artillery.
*Combat Engineers'  ''Carcass Shot'' and Acid Grenades make splinter rifles look tame by comparison. If your Engineers get locked in melee (and with a 12" threat range it's going to happen) fall back 6", '''Get Back In the Fight!", and then use the ''Grenadiers'' stratagem to lob ''10'' Acid Grenades at your opponent. 
**Your Engineers will need a transport, either a Centaur if you're running them in MSU or a Chimera for a full squad and a Field Officer. A Field officer with the The Dagger of Tu'Sakh with a full squad of engineers coming in behind the enemy is very powerful. Just say they tunneled up from below. 
*Kriegers are practically fearless thanks to '''Cult of Sacrifice''' which makes them immune to morale tests caused by shooting. Put Marshal Karis Venner in range of a regimental standard - he becomes LD10...and so does every infantry/cavalry model within 12" of him. This makes '''Consolidate Squads''' not such a terrible idea as morale tests are irrelevant if you're fighting a shooty opponent (Tau, IG, etc). 
*Krieg is perhaps the best IG regiment when it comes to melee (other than Catachans). You are also one of the toughest - ultra-high LD + '''Cult of Sacrifice''', Storm Chimeras, Deathriders, and (relatively) cheap infantry hordes mean Kriegers are surprisingly hard to table even against horde-optimized armies.
*Krieg excels in games with heavy terrain like few other armies. Deathriders aren't impeded by charging through cover while mortar artillery ignores cover saves completely. And Combat Engineers are even in better in Cities of Death where they can benefit from '''Fire In the Hole'''.*'''Tunneling Engineers''' the other great unit we have is engineers, these guys are king at deleting enemy units. Give a field officer the relic dagger (or shovel) and pop up from the flanks and let an enemy unit eat your carcase shot, even taking losses to it overheating its still worth it since you can take out a 200point Terminator squad for only 103points. Scared of losses to 1s you can just put them in a valkrye or chimera with Yarrik, a commisar wl with master of command or an inquistor for that re roll 1s to hit goodness. By far the best way to use them is to get close and use their acid grenades using the grenadair stratagem if you can get them close enough.
