I have not really been taken in by any of the codexes that have been released for 6th ed. That is except the Eldar, I think I have gotton the bug. To be honest, all I know is Imperial Guard and this is a chance to be a bit more bold with colour schemes and build something really cool. I really like the Wraith Knights.
What I just can not get my head around (and this is the same for when I have looked at making space marine lists) is having to trust armour saves. As in the lack of models on the table and thinking how easy they could be killed!
Anyway this is a list I have come up with - Just off a flick through the codex without fully researching it - What do you think?
HQ - Spiritseer (uses psyker powers and allows my wraith guard and blades to hold objectives)
Troops - Windrider jetbike squad x10 (A unit to take objectives in the field, probably in reserve)
Troops - Rangers x6 (Just for a bit of range shooting to provide a bit of cover and distraction)
Troops - Wraithguard x10 in Wave Serpent (a bit of firepower, hoping the Armour saves and wave serpents will help them, could e used to intercept enemy transports or even have a go at shooting into the sky at flyers)
Troops - Wraithblades x6 in Wave serpent (Will lead the vanguard and go straight down the middle drawing firepower and maybe take a few casualties in combat.)
Heavy - Wraith Knight + Ghost Glaive + Scatter Shield + Shuriken Cannon[/b} (To try and just destroy the enemy line)
Heavy - Wraith Knight + Starcannon + Suncannon (Would be used to destroy enemy armour)
Heavy - Wraith Knight + Scatter Laser (Possibly held in reserve and comes on to either provide range fire with scatter laser or charge in and help with hand to hand)
What do people think?
