I have an Imperial Guard Shadowlord. does anyone here have a good set of tactics for its use?

I run a baneblade and personaly never want to have flammers on it, I'd rather reach out and touch with the Hvy Bolters.

I'd stick with heavy bolters and a second pair of sponsons, thats allot of fire from 1 tank then, especially when packed with guardsmen as well

have not built the sponsons yet, was originally thinking heavy bolters for them. the second pair of sponsons would be nice, but i am not sure about the points for my army.

its only 100pts, in apocashit thats absolutely nothing really when you have 30 times as many points

that is very true. but, i want to be able to feild it in normal games too.

I wouldn't worry about that, since apocalypse stuff is for...well apocalypse, not basic 40k games, and for good reason, it would be far too underpriced for what devastation it could cause in basic games of 40k.

Aside from that, you need approval from your opponent. With that kind of firepower, they will probably always say no.

OK! now, back to the tactics question originally asked. Would a direct charge, guns blazing; or a flanking maneuver, laden with infantry be a better use?
