This is an old Edition's Imperial Guard tactics. The 5th Edition Tactics are here while the 2nd Edition Tactics are here.
Why Play Imperial Guard!
Because they get all the goodies. No, seriously, they're present in almost every campaign book, and thus've loads of different play styles. You want an army of rugged survivalists that make Space Marines look like sissies, you can do that. You want an army of nothing but tanks, you can do that. They also've a multitude of different product lines for your base infantry models, from Vostroyan Firstborn and Catachan Jungle Fighters to Cadian Shock Troops and Armageddon Steel Legion, so there's plenty of ways to make your force your own.
