Bring it down lets you be sure of getting hits to overwhelm defence dice. Plasma, volley gun and grenade launchers are all good backfield vantage point choices. Comms lets you do a melta or flamer rush, moving, dashing and then firing to give a 15” threat range. This means that you can normally take a round of fire before dying, and can output damage at a respectable rate. A bolter equivalent weapon hitting at 3+, 4+ save and 4 special weapons with 8 wounds a model. How do Imperial Guard Teams Play? If you’ve gone for pure Scions, then you’ve got superior soldiers. Clustering your models together with their low saves is just asking for blast weapons to hit multiple models at a time. This means that someone shooting them and messing up your ability to relay orders is a risk. Reliance on Comms operatives – if you want to give orders to Guardsman they either need to stick close to the leader or a comms operative needs to shadow them.Try not to let that happen to your 8-wound model with a 5+ save. Command Chain – if you lose your leader you lose access to all of your Strategic Ploys.Against guard equivalents or grots then you may luckily take them out in a round or two of shooting. Against targets with power armour and high wounds they will kill them slightly faster than waiting for them to die of old age. 7 wounds isn’t a long life expectancy either, and bolter equivalents are worse for you than battered mars bars. Flak armour – the Emperor is not exactly protecting you with 5+ saves.Scions have bolter-equivalent basic weapons, access to decent special weapons, and don’t have to worry about a comms model relaying orders. Tempestus Scions – Kill Team seems built around ten-model teams with operatives who have a 4+ save, 2 APL and 8 wounds.Orders – the Strategic Ploys for Guard are decent, and if you have a Tempestor Leader then you get one free every turn.And more imoprtantly, a pure Guardsman or mixed Guard and Scion team can have 5 special weapons, including 2 plasma and 2 melta, which opens you up to overwhelming enemies with weight of fire as you finish them off with your flashlights. Guns – While lasguns may not be worth much, but you get a lot of them.Lasgun mooks can sit on an objective as well as tooled-up Scions. Numbers – You can have 10-14 models in your team and this lets you play a board control game.
