so on the third of January I'm having a mega battle and I'll be using my guards for the first time.

so heres the list (the will be supported by 1000 pts of smurfs)

HQ

Rommel and his body guard (creed and kell)

senior officer armed with plasma pistol and power weapon
4 guard escort with a melta gun and master vox
command chimera autocanon, heavy bolter track guard pintle stuber
support squad of 3 laser canons
troops

junior officer armed with bolt pistol and power weapon
escort of 4 guardsmen with 2 flamers and a vox
chimera with 2 heavy flamer and pintle mount stubber and track guard (this squad will be right behind the gate)

10 guardsmen with a meltagun and a rocket launcher VOX

10 guardsmen with a meltagun and a rocket launcher VOX

armored fist squad
plasma gun and vox
chimera with autocanon and heavy bolter as well as pintle mounted stubber and track guard


the battle will be in a big castle/bunker thing my guards will be defending and the junior officer will be right behind the door along with his chimera to burn anything that comes along me and the smurfs will fight against nids and chaos (i know not the best of matches but thats are only option). so what do you think?

C & C welcome

are you allowed to have creed and a regular hq platoon?...

I'm gonna go check right now, but I don't think thats allowed

[rarves]

You should mount Rommel in an armored fast vehicle, because in North Africa rode a command half-track called shreik or something like that.

...too late the battle was on the 5 of jan. so...ya...and i am alowed to have rommel and an othe hq option because he only takes one hq slot.

[twerd]

cool how did it go

[fatuous]

Yep, u deffo can take both, states u can in the codex cos Creed will take over ur HQ chimera forcing the officer to walk

I thought u could only take him with Cadian armies over 2k, but u don't have to use cadian docs, so guessing the cadia thing not a biggy.

So how did it go, and do u have pics of the castle?
