Command HQ
Wargear: Heroic Colonel ‘Icarus’ - Carapace Armour, Storm Bolter, Chainsword, 'Iron Discipline', Pet Vapourwyrm – "Draco" Honoured Commissar ‘Tichondrius’ - Carapace Armour, Storm Bolter, Chainsword Bionic Implant (Not bionics!) Veteran Guardsmen - Medic ‘Helios’ w/Lasgun, 1 Standard Bearer ‘Decimus’ w/Laspistol & Chainsword Guardsmen - 1 Vox-Caster ‘Themis’ w/Lasgun, 1 Plasma Gunner 'Dozan'“I wondered at first what madness had taken this Phoenix’ commander seeing as he brought a trained vapour-wyrm into warfare! The little critter is cared for better than any of the troopers, yet they did to my amazement not complain. I felt of course that although it wasn’t in their place to do so, I would have understood it better than their silence! Little after little did I understand their reverence – This creature embody their regiment and it carries with it at all times the history of their past victories. Its shrill cries remind those with second thoughts to fight with greater fervour, as to not bring shame to their glorious heritage and it does the job during enemy fire with a zealousness most Commissars would envy, and with perhaps greater effect! The love of their regiment is greater than any threats I could put on them, and they should feel honoured that I have found none of them wanting…” - Commissar Tichondrius
Anti-Tank Support Squad Wargear: Guardsmen - 3 Lasguns , 3 Rocket Launchers All are Sharpshooters Anti-Tank Support Squad Wargear: Guardsmen - 3 Lasguns , 3 Rocket Launchers All are Sharpshooters Fire Support Squad Wargear: Guardsmen - 3 Lasguns , 3 Heavy Bolters All are SharpshootersDesigner’s Note:
I wanted a hardhitting HQ, that could sit back and outshoot most armies. While making sure that they circumvented the imperial guard weakness which only they (with but a few exceptions) can affect. MORALE! I joined a Commissar with the HQ, so that the colonel gets a Ld10. I paid the upgrade of a Master-VOX, so that ANY unit, and several at one time, with a vox-caster should be able to use the leadership of their colonel. A weak army with a leadership of 7 is now a teeth-gritting leadership 9 army (They don't get the added bonus of the commissar, sadly...)!! In addition those within 12” (Wave 1) who can use the leadership no matter what, is also within the company standards range, so they can re-roll their morale tests! The squads included are there for a number of reasons: The Missile Talons for anti-tank purposes, and the Heavy Bolters for close range anti-infantry purposes.
