This week I am bringing out the IG with 8 tanks and a
vendetta. I have a feeling that it will
be like seeing the aftermath of a demo derby.
Before I go into my plans let’s take a look at what I am bringing.
HQ
Command squad – 2 snipers, lascannon, chimera
Troops
Platoon- command with Chimera
Infantry

The idea is put one squad of Vets in the vendetta and let it
cause havoc around the board when it come is and drop its contents near an
objective. The 2 platoon squads will
merge into one squad making a 20 man squad with stubborn, which makes it a nice
tarpit. The company command squad can hang with the heavy weapons and give them
fire on my target twinlinking their shots, while the platoon command can give
the blob first rank, second rank. Sure 32
S3 shot are not amazing but it is better than nothing, plus it has 2 plasma guns
hidden in there.
With this I have used almost all of my IG. It shows me the next purchase I need to make
is more guard bodies. I am short at least
2 sargents and I need to distinguish a commissar. Since my army all includes closed helmets I
don’t think I can use any GW model for my Commissar. I think I will run one of the guard bodies
with the great cloak base painted all black with green highlights might be able
to convey a commissar and still fit in with the rest of the army. Next to my orks the IG is the most completely
painted army I own.
That’s all I got for this week, if you have any ideas for a
helmeted commissar (maybe a recommended model) let me know.
