New IG Codex

All I can say is... Wow. When they said they overhauled the Imperial Guard, they were not kidding. I picked it up yesterday and just finished flipping through it this morning while I was running some tests at work. I would say the Guard are a force to be reckoned with now.

The new orders from the officers can boost key areas when needed.

The heavy squadrons...yes squadrons of tanks, well you can imagine the look on your opponents face as you pull out 9 tanks for heavies alone.

And Hydras... don't get me started on Hydras as an Eldar player heh.

All in all, I think this is going to make the Guard a fun army for players again, but you can definately see codex creep.

Oh and this new trend with Imperial Psykers having access to better powers than Eldar... not cool I say!
