	*'''[[Stormtrooper#Warhammer_40,000\|Storm Troopers]]''': Big Toy Soldiers with Big Toy Guns, though jibes aside, BS4 Hellguns're no laughing matter, to be learned at your peril. A 4+ Armour Save also makes them more survivable than regular Guardsmen ~~and women~~, and anyone can swap their Hellgun for a Hellpistol and CCW. Two of them may also take special weapons, but no heavy weapons, and a Chimera can be assigned to them if they don't want to '''Infiltrate''' or '''Deep Strike'''.		*'''[[Stormtrooper#Warhammer_40,000\|Storm Troopers]]''': Big Toy Soldiers with Big Toy Guns, though jibes aside, BS4 Hellguns're no laughing matter, to be learned at your peril.

	**'''Infiltrators''': Dynamic entry via squatting in the mud. Unlike '''Deep Strike''' below, as many squads of Stormtroopers as you want can '''Infiltrate''' as long as the mission allows it, though not if they have Chimeras.		**'''Infiltrators''': Dynamic entry via squatting in the mud.

	**'''Deep Strike''': Dynamic entry via Para-Glider or [[Elysian_Drop_Troops\|Grav-Chute]], though again there's only room in the [[Valkyrie#In_Warhammer_40000\|Valk']] for a single squad per army to do this. Storm Troopers in a Chimera can't make this manoeuvre either, despite [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airdrop airdropping tanks being possible in real life] with far more primitive equipment than in the 40,000 Millennium. You would think the Imperium would have a medium dropship between the [[Valkyrie#Sky_Talon\|Sky Talon]] and the [[Devourer Dropship]] that wasn't [[Thunderhawk\|Space Marine exclusive]]?		**'''Deep Strike''': Dynamic entry via Para-Glider or [[Elysian_Drop_Troops\|Grav-Chute]], though again there's only room in the [[Valkyrie#In_Warhammer_40000\|Valk']] for a single squad per army to do this.

	*'''Command Section''': A watered-down Command HQ, lead by a Lieutenant rather than a Colonel or Captain, no access to Medics, Standard Bearers, or Sentinels, and with only two special weapons and a heavy weapon, but otherwise the same. They can still take a Chimera for some well-needed fire-support though.		*'''Command Section''': A watered-down Command HQ, lead by a Lieutenant rather than a Colonel or Captain, no access to Medics, Standard Bearers, or Sentinels, and with only two special weapons and a heavy weapon, but otherwise the same.

	**'''Leadership''': Allows all Morale and Pinning tests taken by Imperial Guard units within 12" of the Command Section to be made against the Lieutenant's Leadership.		**'''Leadership''': Allows all Morale and Pinning tests taken by Imperial Guard units within 12" of the Command Section to be made against the Lieutenant's Leadership.
	*'''[[Infantry Squad]]''': A 60 point Sergeant or 70 point Veteran Sergeant, and nine Guardsmen ~~and women~~ who cost nothing at all. These guys and gals're all about quantity, Lasgun and Frag Grenade spam. Each squad can take a single special weapon and heavy weapon, as well as a Comm-Link, and the Sergeant can swap his Lasgun for a Laspistol and CCW.		*'''[[Infantry Squad]]''': A 60 point Sergeant or 70 point Veteran Sergeant, and nine Guardsmen who cost nothing at all.

	*'''[[Armoured Fist Squad]]''': Before you get into the profile for the Armoured Fist Squad, a warning in bold informs you that you can only take ONE of said units for each separate Infantry Platoon you've also taken. This's a shame, as its a mobile squad with a lot of utility, coming with ten Guardsmen and a Chimera. They've got all the same stats and gear as regular Guardsmen.		*'''[[Armoured Fist Squad]]''': Before you get into the profile for the Armoured Fist Squad, a warning in bold informs you that you can only take ONE of said units for each separate Infantry Platoon you've also taken.
