Imperial Guard Fast Attack

In this section we will be looking at the Fast Attack units of the Imperial Guard army and their tactics.

The Imperial Guard are not designed as a fast attack army, their main strength in numbers and big guns. However fast attack units come in hand when the big guns have broken the enemy and you need units to chase down the remnants

Scout Sentinel Squadron

Sentinels come in two types. The lighter Scout Sentinels and the heaver Armoured Sentinels.

The lighter Scout Sentinels are designed to move forward and find the lay of the land. As such they are more lightly armoured be have some sneaky tactics.

Sentinels as Scouts

How good is this? a vehicle that has the scout special rule! This means that you get a special move at the start of the game, or they can be held in reserve to out flank!

If you deploy them and use their special move. This could be used to tease the opponent, for example you place the sentinels where it draws your opponent to set up where he can shot at the sentinels, and then at the start of the game you move them in to cover, leaving your opponent with nothing to shoot!

As reserves. The sentinel can come on behind the enemy armour and gun down the weak rear armour, or harass rear heavy support troops!

Sentinel Weapons

The Sentinel has a selection of weapons to choose from.

Armoured Sentinel Squadron

The armoured dentinal is not as sneaky as its lighter brethren. It is armour makes this dentinal a much tougher cookie!
