I love play all infantry guard, I love winning even though my opponent took 100+ models of mine off the field. Now with the new Dex and veterans and conscripts getting cheaper and with commissars being cheap and flexible and priests adding fun stuff, its looking better then ever for my army!
But now I've got some deciding to do. Where is the best place to put heavy weapons? In HWT would give me the most for the point cost but low leadership and low model count makes me hesitate. Infantry blob squads gives me lots of fodder but a lot of 'wasted' points on those models that may not do anything all game. Veterans bring the better BS and lots of special weapons, has a few fodder models but its only 10 guardsmen and can be a poi t sink pretty quick.
For the assault/move up blobs I'm trying to decide between combined squads, conscripts, or both. Combined squads allow me to take upgrades and special weapons and they'll be able to hit something when they shoot. Conscripts are so damn cheap though I can just send them off to be slaughtered without batting an eye. However, taking two conscript squads would require me taking 2 PCS and 4 infantry squads. That's a heavy tax if I'm adding in veterans so I might limit myself to one conscript blob and take both kind of blobs.
Primaris pskyers also strike me as new and happy tools. Just wondering which deciples I should take and where to put them. I am planning to take 3.
Anyone have luck with rough riders in this addition or is overwatch the end for this unit?
