Warhammer 40,000/2nd Edition Tactics/Imperial Guard

Special Rules

Veteran Skills

You can pay extra points to note that a unit is trained in a Veteran Skill. Command HQs and Command Squads (both foot and mounted), Infantry Squads and Heavy Weapon Squads, Rough Riders, Ogryns and Ratlings are all eligible to purchase a Skill (and only one Skill) from the list below, while Stormtroopers *must* purchase a skill. Note that vehicles and vehicle crew may not purchase a skill, and neither Primaris Psykers nor Commissars may benefit from skills even attached to units possessing said skills.

• Crazed:

• Dead Eye Shots: When shooting a direct-fire weapon, you reroll misses. Solid on Ratlings, and decent on Stormtroopers.

• Freedom Fighters:

• Grizzled:

• Guerillas:

• Hardened Fighters:

• Slick Crew:

• Stealthy: If this unit is in cover, it's at -1 to be hit in addition to normal cover modifiers.

• Street Fighters:

• Tank Hunters:

• 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 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.
