Some things in the gaurd codex seem to have no value in my army at all. Anyone disagree?
Vets with shotguns-Its a las gun...with a 12 inch range...and its assault. It cant benifit from First rank second rank, and about 2/3's of the races in warhammer have a higher WS or I then the gaurd. The only reason ive been able to think of using it is bringing a preist and using RF or a commisar so he can rap with his power weapon or in a sucide charge...which is a perfect waste of a vet squads BS4.
Preists- Hes got lower stats then a commisar, costs more and dosent make his squad fearless or stubborn. RF is good but it dosnt work on orgyans and (as posted above) everything can rap a squad of guard on thier way to the enemy and once they get thier to. The invul save is good but its not like his squad is going to survie to fight back. The evsiarator looks alright but it costs...more.
Rough riders-never seen them used before. They look good in a assualt with the hunting lance but what happens once thats used up.
Advisors-okay...a artillary attck that scatters like shit...-1 to reseves...+1 to reseves. Do i really want to pay for this.
Commander chenkov-his stats arnt that great...his orders arnt that great...and i have to buy send in the next wave.
LR vareints- besides the standered LR and demolisher which one do you think is worth its points?
Im not critizing anything here im just asking if anyone uses any of this stuff effectily and how do you use it. I just restared my guard and havnt played to many games with the new codex (no im not a noob i just dont play to much).
Comments are welcome.
Forgive spelling
