Elites

Just to let you know, the IG Elite choices are the worst section of units in the codex. They cost a lot point wise, and model wise. If you like fluff, you might enjoy a few of these. If you like to fuck with your opponent and laugh your ass off, these may be for you.

• Ogryn Squad:

Big meaty men things with pretty awesome assaulting guns, terminator equivalents to an extent. Assulty wall of meat. Lovable to the end, witch will be soon, seeing as these guys are a firring magnet.

• Ratling Squad:

Snipers, cool in theory, but everything wounds on a 4+, even against gaunts. You should have meltas or lascannons to take out big things, not a paper thin squad of midgets. Also most competitive armies have fearless, so say goodbye to your beloved penning.

• Pskyer Battle Squad:

They are Pskyers, so perils of the warp are first thing that comes to mind. This squad fires a blast with strength equivalent to how many psykers are in the squad. Cool in theory, but they are just like guardsmen in the fact that they are paper thin and will die quickly, so put them in a chimera if you ever think of using them. And that time would only be if you want to mess around with a smaller point list.

• Storm Trooper Squad:

Take them if you want an overpriced marine killer that can be all sneaky and shit, as in deep strike infiltrate and those shenanigans. But hot-shot is not cost effective at all, ap3 is awesome, but 16 points a model is not cool. Anyway vets can have 3 meltas not just 2 like the Storm Troopers. The models are metal and a few years old, so they cost quite a bit for that kind of money. Interestingly enough, a lot of players use the models for vet squads because they look pretty rad.

• GUARDSMAN MARBO FUCK YEAR:

Rambo is a strange unit in and of himself. There can only be one. He is 65 points, the same cost of a bitchn' 10 man squad with a grenade launcher and a power weapon. And rambo is a kill point that you practically give your opponent. On the other hand, he is the shit. He swoops in and drops a pie plate of death anywhere on the board (str8 ap2). If he can last the next turn, he can fuck some units up in close combat until he dies a fucking glorious death. If Lady Luck and Admiral Awesome are on your side you should take him. If you don't, you can go join the unmanly players at the not imperial guard table. Its up to you.
