Help me beat imperial guard please!!!

[countkrojaer]

I have played against guard twice and i have won twice but that was against a new player.

I am soon playing an awesome guard player and in a 1000pt comp.

I play Jormungandr

I am thinking objectives are going to be an issue for me because of all of their bodies. I am thinking of taking Naturalised Camouflage as my hypa adaptive trait to try and protect against all their tanks.

Do you guys have any list AND/OR tactic advice for playing against astra militarum please?

Thank you.

They can turn off benefits of cover with astropaths, so naturalized camo may not be the best.

I think tailoring your list is not how you will enjoy the game.

Take an all comer list and try to play it the best you can vs different armies.

Regardless, guard is not very good psyker or cc wise, and -1 to hit is very efficient against 4+ shooting.

OK thanks guys.

Yes I have chosen my list as a general threat but I just thought about some last minute unit tweaks.

I'm thinking:
Walkrant with shardgullet
3x warrior units
Tyrant guard
10 or 20 hormagants
Venomthropes
1 carnifex with hvc


I think I will try to destroy at least one tank turn one with focused fire, then will try to get rid of officers if I can.

I think the OP is playing Crusade based on their posting history.

@op: if it is Crusade, make sure you specify game type since everyone will assume match play.

Hey, I am playing crusade too but this is a 1000pt mini comp with nephilim rules.
I am also playing in a 40k league with 25 players but I am using my Deathwatch for that.

I also am playing a path to glory Age of Sigmar campaign with my Seraphon.

Busy busy!

I have been playing 40k and AoS for one year and I want to get to a competetive standard, but without sacrificing fun for austere, repetitive tactics.

I painted and collect for years, since 1997, but never played.

That enough info?

[piersonsmuppet]

Prob trade out the Venomthropes for Zoanthropes, Venoms don’t stack with the fleet trait.

Tyranids shoot just as hard as the Guards at the moment while having better melee and psyhic. Basically stay in cover and close in.

A naked harpy should help.
