Why Play Imperial Guard

When recruits are inducted into the Imperial Guard, they are given four things: their regulation flashlight (commonly referred to by the troops as "lasguns" for some reason,) their regulation cardboard box (which certain regiments have taken to cutting up and wearing into battle, calling it "flak armor,") a large stack of toilet paper (which the recruiters refer to as the "Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer,") and a regulation extra large wheelbarrow that allows them to cart their massive brazen balls into battle.

Pros

  • Versatile and strong vehicles.
    • Versatile and strong vehicles that can shoot into close combat, and are finally free of the burden of the Heavy keyword.
  • Dirt cheap hordes of infantry that can be fielded among multiple force multipliers such as Company Commanders, Commissars, Astropaths, and more.
  • Combining the above two points means you'll have an easy time filling the Brigade core detachment.
  • The Imperial Guard are the true heroes of Warhammer 40,000.

Cons

  • Overwatch being shifted to one of the core 7 stratagems means shenanigans are largely over with a few exceptions (Crusade narrative battle honour)
  • Command point overhaul means you now have the exact same amount of CP your opponent does. Gone are the days of spamming brigades for tasty CP.
