	The meat and potatoes of the Tyrants Legion - after filling your compulsory FOC slots you should look here first. You get more options than ANY OTHER army since you get the entirety of the Space Marine codex to sift through and most of the options available to Imperial Guard players. This is also why your other FOC choices come off as bland, since marching your giant space marine squads forward while covered by Medusa/Basilisk artillery squadrons is pretty amazing.

	*'''[[Leman Russ Battle Tank\|Auxilia Battle Tank Squadron]]:''' Leman. Fucking. Russ. It's a big tank. Holds the proud title of best tank in the galaxy for its size and cost. Side effects include: Templates, lots of dice, lots of AV. Take in units of 1-3. While you don't get as many choices as the standard [[Imperial Guard]] however, the same tactics apply and you can never go wrong with a Leman Russ. In 6th edition, Leman Russ lost "Lumbering Behemoth" rule, and became a Heavy vehicle, instead. This means that you are limited to only 6 inches of movement. However, you can fire all your non-ordnance weapons at the same turn, as if you haven't moved, meaning that non-ordnance Russes (Exterminator or Annihilator) are made even more rapetastic, at slight disadvantage of Ordnance ones (Battle Tank). Remember this, and kit out your tanks accordingly.		*'''[[Leman Russ Battle Tank\|Auxilia Battle Tank Squadron]]:''' Leman. Fucking. Russ. It's a big tank.

	**'''ALTERNATE TAKE''' - Take a full squad with two flamers and annoy one of your opponents mid-strength melee units at close range, but refuse to assault them in close combat, that's the point. Your opponent will have to suck it up and assault them instead, forcing them through unenviable twin-linked overwatch fire > flamer hits > followed by counter assault > then try to take out toughness 5 models. ''Even Howling Banshees might have a problem charging against this unit'' Either that or they attempt to slug it out trading ranged attacks with them and trust me: your army has bigger guns!		**'''ALTERNATE TAKE''' - Take a full squad with two flamers and annoy one of your opponents mid-strength melee units at close range, but refuse to assault them in close combat, that's the point.

	*'''Auxilia Hellhound Squadron''' - 1-3 [[Hellhound]] ~~Tanks~~ (you can't take a variant). The standard Hellhound is a very handy infantry-killer. If they're not Marine-equivalents (and even they will be hurting once the wounds pile up and they start failing saves), and not in a transport, they will die. What's that? You opponent has Rangers/Heavy Weapons Teams/snipers holed up in a building somewhere giving your commanders and high-value units a hard time? The Inferno Cannon laughs at cover. The range of the IC means that you can expect them to hit enemy infantry starting on turn 1 (move 12", fire 12", cover another 8" with flame template). Ran in support of longer-ranged anti-tank weapons for popping enemy transports, Hellhounds can also serve to finish off units from disembarked vehicles. In 6th edition, Fast vehicles can now fire 2 weapons at full BS at cruising speed, so enjoy the possibilities of hull weaponry combinations.		*'''Auxilia Hellhound Squadron''' - 1-3 [[Hellhound Tank]]s (you can't take a variant).

	*'''Sentry Gun Battery''' - Tarantula turrets as Fast Attack WTF!? Regardless, lets roll with this. You get a battery of three immobile twin linked Heavy Bolters that have Toughness 6 and two wounds. With the option to add three more and swap them for a Multi-melta for free, or pay for TL assault cannons or TL Lascannons. Being automated, you have very little control over what they actually do in the battle, they select their own targets based on pre-set criteria, you basically just get to choose at deployment what their arcs are: 360 degrees but at 18" range, or 90 degrees at 36" range, so you're rarely going to be blasting things across the table with these things.		*'''Sentry Gun Battery''' - Tarantula turrets as Fast Attack WTF!?

	In a strange decision that seems to fly in the face of all other armies' ally choices, Forgeworld decided that the Tyrant's legion pissed everyone off so much that they can ONLY take Imperial Guard or Codex: Space Marines as Allies of Convenience. Nothing else... No desperate allies and certainly no battle brothers.

	*'''[[Lugft Huron]]:''' The man himself, before his heart turned black. He is a bit of a special guy who is so far above everything else that he seems out of place. He costs a boatload but considering how cheap many of the units are you might justify paying for him. His special rules are handy: '''EVERY UNIT''' in the army shares Ld10 which is awesome for this army, as it makes Auxilia much more likely to stay on the tabletop. Furthermore his Chapter Master Ordnance bombardment is two-shot and finally all friendly units get Counter-Strike the turn they arrive from reserves. His equipment loadout means he won't mesh well with the army. He's the only thing with a 2+ save and is a melee character in a gunline army, and NOTHING else can deep-strike along with him. Though new Ghost Razors being AP2 means he can go toe to toe with most other characters at initiative order, re-rolling to wound and forcing re-rolled invulnerable saves means he may likely come out on top.		*'''[[Lugft Huron]]:''' The man himself, before his heart turned black.
