Praetorian Expeditionary Officers and Imperial Allied Commanders of His most gracious Imperial Guard.
Presently elements of the the 1st of foot (Macharian Thunder Guard) and support regiments will depart en rout to the xeric single-biome planet of Oribella VII - known by the imperial indigenous as 'Rubella' (Little Red). A small cohort of fanatical Space Marines have been designated 'Renegade' by the illustrious Inquisitor Lady Marwood and it has fallen to my subordinate Colonel Lord Praetori (Honorifica Imperialis, Order of Macharious, Knight of Medusa) and his boys to reconcile their souls to the mighty Emperor. I have personally received credible intelligence that the enemy relies on orbital drop pod assault tactics and utilises master crafted melta, flamer and thunder hammer weapons.
I have noted much recent correspondence on the matter of task force formation. As such, I earnestly supplicate you, my fellow senior officers, to weigh the following brigade formation for the prior mentioned mission and submit you sentiments (if any) post-hast.
As the Emperor protects, so must we.
(Acting)Brigadier-General Ackland.

Sound's good Sir,
ReplyDeleteShould be able to give those traitors a run for their money.
Looks good, and you have drawn my attention to the DKOK army list! It makes for interesting reading, particularly ws4 RR with an invulnerable save and re-roll difficult terrain.
ReplyDeleteThank you my good Commissar, we will do our best.
ReplyDelete-Winterborne, also I like the close combat weapon & pistol & hunting lance kit-out. After the lance has been used they revert to 2 close combat weapons, very useful. Add to that Kamir's Furious charge and fearless and they are going to be a pretty wild unit (although technically it is not legal to having Kamir with DKOK). Order them to "MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!" and its likely you can charge a unit 24" away -which is why I didn't take special weapons. Im just waiting until I have enough made for the apocalypse list, so they can have 4+ invulnerable's when they run.
Great Blog!
ReplyDeleteIm following you!
You can follow me too !

Yeah being able to charge 24 away I'd pretty useful, that cavalry can run and still charge makes them rather dangerous. Only downside to kamir is the rage meaning you might not have that much control over them. Wait. That's almost like real historical cavalry!! If only you could chuck a priest on a horse too...
