*'''Griffon Mortar:''' The Griffon Mortar was the general support vehicle for Guard in 2nd edition, and for most intents and purposes was similar to the mortar you may remember from later editions. However, the key was the fact that it had three different fire modes. Frag shells were a Strength 3" blast radius, Inferno Shells were Strength 5 and could set stuff on fire, but only had a 2" blast radius, but the Griffon's most notable ammunition type were [[Awesome|Melta Shells]]. Yes, you read that right: Back in 2nd ed, the Guard decided that Meltabombs were good and all, but they needed to be delivered by artillery. Needless to say, this gives the Griffon all-purpose utility that it lacks in later editions.

===Support===

*'''Allies:'''
**'''Space Marines:''' Of course, you can take the poster boys of 40K as allies. Any troops from any of the codexes are free game.
**'''Imperial Agents:''' Mostly forces from the Codex Imperialis, but you could also grab Sisters of Battle and Assassins as well.
**'''Eldar:''' A bit of a departure, but you can grab some Eldar forces as allies...so long as you don't take the Avatar of Khaine. After all, it'd be hard to command a giant flaming war god.
**'''Squats:''' AHAHAHAHAHA-yeeaaaah, about that...
