Imperial Guard Take 1st – 3rd: Heroic Scale Gamers 40k Army Lists
Thanks to Best Coast Pairings, we can look back at the event as if we were all there ourselves.
3rd Place: Connor Myers – Astra Militarum
2nd Place: Carmine Battista – Astra Militarum
1st Place: Nathaniel Bjorge – Astra Militarum
A Command squad led Nathaniel’s winning Guard Army with some great bodies and weapons that can dish out orders, along with a Tank Commander for more orders and even a full tank for artillery. Plus, Ursula for extra command point re-rolls, better hits (with a re-roll aura), and even a targetted +1 strength buff!
Fast Attacks bring in six Armoured Sentinels and a single Scout, for mobile armor with some pretty good plasma shots while not being too expensive.
Heavy Support has a ton of long-range support with nine mortars, a Quad Launcher Battery, and an Earthshaker Battery. All of these lay down suppressing fire from long range and excel at eliminating all forms of chaff, with the Earthshaker also being able to take out Marines or armored targets.
Finally, the list wraps up with three iconic Lemus Russ Tanks for the primary source of anti-armor threat.
