Help me! 1500 Points Imperial Guard

[Deleted]

Hello everyone.

I've come here to ask for help. Please help me make an effective 1500 point Imperial Guard list. I've been on a long losing streak for a while with my Guard. I'm not too sure what to do. I will list what I have, a list that I will most likely field tomorrow, and my ideasbehind it.

I own.

2 Commissars (Gaunt and Yarrick models, I can use as Comms too!)
5 Ratlings
10 Storm Troopers
3 Heavy Bolters
1 Autocannon
4 Lascannons
3 Leman Russ's
1 Demolisher
3 Officers
48 Guardsmen
2 Sentinels.

6 Special Weapons men are within those 48 guardsmen. We do not play WYSISYG, so my grenade launchers are usually fielded as Plasma Guns. Heres the list I plan on fielding tomorrow. All report how well I did afterwards.

Doctrines: Iron Discipline, Close Order Drill, Sharpshooters, Drop Troops, Ratlings

Command HQ 87
Junior Officer 40
-Honorifica Imperius 25
-Power Weapon 5
-Bolt Pistol 1
-Iron Discipline 5
Veteren 5
-Standard Bearer 6

I will add the sentinel weapons as I see fit. Most likely they will drop troop with a heavy flamer and armored crew compartments. This list is a bit different from my usual ones, and I think by far my best.

I will most likely be playing nids. Its been a while since I played one of my friends who plays nids. I also just met someone new and had a blast with talking and we planned to play next week, which is this week. He plays Tyranids too. All just go to the back edge of my deployment and shoot em up. The sentinels will drop close and tie up some big squads of gaunts or something.

Well yesterday I got 2 games in.

That list, I gave the Sentinels Lascannons, I never Drop Trooped them, I dropped the power weapon on the HSO.

The first game was aganist Necrons. It wen't very very well. He didn't play too well and had to much faith in his single Monolith in knocking out my army. It was a very succesful game.

My next was aganist 750 points of Tyranids and 750 points of Eldar aganist my 1500 points of Guard. I did not get to finish the game for we both had to go, we just concluded it was a draw. For 2 of us had to leave early.


I think I would have won if we could finish. I don't see how I could not have. Things did turn around with this new list.

Yet that doesn't mean I now know how to make and play lists fully. What do you think of the list I gave above?

maybe not so many plasma guns??? Whatever you want though.
Iron discipline on the platoon officer. I would include a hellhound instead of on of those AT squads but thats just me. Its a very good list and I can't say that much else.
