For my Platoon the JO needs 4 other guardsmen to make the HQ. Where do i get 4 guardsmen on their own!?! Im not buying another box just to add 4 men to it and even if i did i wouldnt use the excess 16 cus i dont want to expand my guard army more atm. WHat did you guys do to get the 4 men?

You mean the metal ones? I thought they stopped making them when the Cadian shock troopers came out.

Go on the GW website and order bits from the Cadian box. I think each set of sprue has enough parts to make 4 or 5 guardsmen. You'll need the legs and bodies frame and the arms and guns frame. If you don't want to order bits, what's so wrong about having the parts to make 16 more troopers? You never know when those bits might come in handy.

Buy ten - the extra will always come in usefull sometime. You could give these extra men different Special or Heavy weapons to the ones you've already got in your army.

i had bought a cadian heavy weapon team (pack of 3) and i bought a pack of cadian shock troops. I built 10 of em as one squad and i built 6 of them to fit an anti tank squad...i had 3 men carry missile launchers and the 3 of them to match the others carrying the missile launchers to look like they were part of the squad...and sooo i got 4 extra men!

Another box Shocktroops will do fine. Just think a bit into the future. You'll need more command squads in the near future. so you can make up to 5 "retinues" or you can make up an extra squad. So the box is a really good investment.

well, knight good idea, but heres what you can, could of done
buy 2x cadian shock troops sets buy 1x cadian hvy weapon platoon set (3 of em) buy 1x blisters of special weapon teams buy 1x blister of junior officers (2 guys)
then,
assemble your troops, add the meltas and plasma's into 2 of your squads, and heavy weapons in three, and a normal special weapon in the other, then you will have 8 spare guys, or you could downsize this a bit somehow, but that is a good idea,
i just managed 2 get 5 guys because my friend sold me his ig troops and he only had 15 troops lol
and yeah, or you could just buy a cadian shock troops set, and add a 15 man squad to your platoon, or have a start of a new one

Squads only ave 10 members. But the HW and SW idea is imho the best option. Every HW team gvies you 2 free guardsmen

yup, and for those who dont know: imho= in my humble opinion
and thankyou knight XD, yet that option is costly, but its mainly for people who are starting out.

then what ever you have left over you can use as a remnant squad, so there is a good place for your other 5 guys to go Fishk. As far as the extra guardsmen go in the HW teams i used them to flush out a few squads myself...the kneeling minis look great mixed in with the rest of them.
