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

===Armoured Battlegroup Arsenal===
It's Imperial Guard tanks! They are big, boxy and gothic, so they need big, boxy and gothic upgrades. Armoured Battlegroup delivers.
*'''Mine Plough:''' - Dozer Blade on steroids. Not only does it help passing dangerous terrain on any speed (why does this even matter, DBs don't care about vehicle speed anyway), it also allow you to smash a few unlucky soldiers with tank shock. Though, its nowhere near destroyer blades or the (formerly, Defrollas got nerfed in 7th) almighty defrolla, with S2 and only D3+1 hits.
*'''Artificer Hull:''' - +1HP. Only available on certain HQ vehicles. ''(and the Commissar tank, which was named "Ablative Armour" but has been fixed by the FAQ)'' Will help if your opponent tries to glance your tank to death, but near useless against melta and railguns.
*'''Armoured Track Guards:''' 4+ save against immobilization. Cheap and they work. Take them if you're cross terrain driver and "just" mine plough just isn't doing it for ya.
*'''Improved Comms:''' Extra 6" of order reach. With 24" already you won't need it, unless you have some devious plan, which include outflanking Demolisher squadron (for which you need to roll a random warlord trait anyway).
**Was also FAQ'd to include a +1 to reserve rolls when rolling for the unit that bought it, seeing as how a +6" command radius is useless to EVERY other unit that has the option of taking it.
*'''Anti-grenade Mesh:''' 5+ invuln against grenades. Good on short range tanks, which get krak grenaded a lot, but again useless against melta. Actually, pretty useful against haywire grenades, but you should smack yourself on the back of the head if you allowed enemy troops to close on your softly rear-armored tanks anyway.
*'''Anti-aircraft-mount heavy stubber / storm bolter:''' As a weapon, it's garbage. Only can be useful for ''maybe'' glancing AV10 flyers and lucky-wounding FMC-s but your units can't split fire so using it means your tanks aren't shooting at ground targets. Real anti-aircraft firepower can be found elsewhere in the list. That said, it is certainly useful as another way to keep a useful weapon from being destroyed if you get a bad result on the Vehicle damage table, ask Space Marines about why they buy storm bolters for their Vindicators.
