Warhammer 40K Imperial Guard List

I also call this list "The Stovepipe of Doom!"

HQ
- Command Squad (Med-pack, Regimental Standard, Vox, Power Fist, 2x Bodyguards)

Troops
- Infantry Platoon (Platoon Standard, Vox)
1st Squad (Heavy Bolter, Vox)
2nd Squad (Amalgamated with 1st Squad, Autocannon)
5x Heavy Weapons Squads (Mortars)

- Veteran Squad (Shotguns, 3x Melta-guns, Chimera)

Heavy Support
- Griffon Mortar
- Leman Russ (Standard)

1000 pts.

I've laid this out primarily for 2 on 2 games. I feel that the low-ish number of tank busters and close combat weapons is suitable for an army of low toughness, high casualty characters. That and there are a total of 15 small blast templates, all barrage weapons, and therefore "pinning" weapons as well as 2 ordnance pie plates.

Yes, Marines in Rhinos, Ork Speedfreaks and Eldar Blisterwagons are a tough nut to crack with only one Autocannon, but I expect to whittle down the list for 1500 pt., 1 on 1 games. I'll add more power fists, flamers and autocannons to make up the difference.

  1. This would ruin my 'nids day, but my marines with a Shooty-pred would ruin this. Seeing as it is 2v2 based it would be nice to see this list coupled with my IG list. It has the opposite weaknesses. I will post it later! Maybe we should try the guard vs Vamrats and his brother (Eldar/Tau, or Marine/Marine).
