Imperial Guard Project - Part 6 - 1500 point version.

So I mentioned in a couple of posts that I would be testing the 1500 point version of my 'Foot' Guard army first as I didn't need to do any of the conversions for that variation.

I've since then had 3 E-Mails asking what that is as simply dropping the Elites doesn't bring the points down to 1500.

So here it is,

Total Roster Cost: 1500

It's still got pretty much the same fire-power but has lost the 'trick' units of Marbo and the Psyker Battle Squads. It also has slightly less of a safety margin as there are less Vox's overall and less Meltabombs in the 'Blob' Squads.

It will be adequate for testing purposes and if it works I may take it to one of the UKGT's which are still depressingly behind the times at 1500 points.
