Egos, Cheque-cashing and Big F**kin' Guns...
I have no idea if this is the right place for this thread? Sorry if it isn't, feel free to move it.
So last night I spoke to my oldest friend. We have a long rivalry and now that we're both getting back into 40k the flames of war have rekindled the old hatred.
Now I know I'm better than him. He (mistakenly imo) seems to think the same in reverse :rolleyes:
So a challenge was laid down and accepted. A gentleman's agreement involving super advanced technology and massed armies. The best kind of bet.
We each have to assemble and use an army of the other's choosing.
Considering he favours CSM and 'Crons, I figured I'd hamstring him with Orks. Oh how I laughed.
He picked Guard for me. I believe I'm screwed.
As primarily a SM player here's what I know about IG: massive tanks and meat puppets in kevlar.
So I turn to you, the good people of BoLS for help. And I really mean that. Please please please help me??
Teach me the ways of the Guard?
What are they good at?
How well do they fight?
Are they tougher than Orks?
I'm having to learn about them from pretty much the ground up. I know next to nothing. As far as I can tell from what I've searched/read the Cadians are the best? I don't even know which regiments are the good ones! :confused:
Incidentally the winner of the upcoming battle will receive the opposing army, bragging rights (naturally) and a free ride on our next paintballing trip.
The expense is galling enough. What will destroy me is the mocking laughter he will even now be practising to unleash...
