Start with a a regimental command company, a tank company and an artillery company then get formations to suit. Getting an infantry upgrade for the tank company is always an idea, just make sure they have chimeras to mobilise them! A couple of hydras, definately one with the artillery, a SH tank always goes down a treat, if you have points to spare another IG inf company for garrisoning or even storm troopers in valkries would be useful. |

Take a look on the Epic forums Here There are quite a few threads about starting armies in the tactics and forces section that should help. |

Theres a bit about this in the April White Dwarf magazine. As noted on this board (somewhere), buying models from Forge World can work out cheaper. I'm going to get a couple of boxes of infantry, 7 Chimeras, a Leman Russ company & an artillery company from GW and my Baneblades and shadowswords from Forge World. Furgie |

I'm not sure about Artillery Companies, they seem like a lot of points for something that is very vulnerable to being taken out by air assaults, bombers or even normal formations. If you spend more defending it from air/ground attacks then it ends up costing a lot more then the already costly 650. After playing against IG in my first game last night I would probably go for something like this: (baring in mind I have only had one game and that was me playing Orks  )Tank Co. 1 Vanquisher, 9 Leman Russ 650 1 Hydra 50 700 Regimental HQ 1 Commander, 12 IG Infantry, 7 Chimera 500 1 Hydra 50 550 Infantry Co. 1 Commander, 12 IG Infantry 250 1 Hydra 50 2 Ogryns 50 350 Storm Trooper Plt. 8 Storm Troopers 200 4 Valkyrie 150 350 Vulture Squadron 4 Vultures 300 300 Artillery Battery 3 Manticores 250 250 Deathstrikes 2 Deathstrikes 200 200 Rough Rider Plt. 6 Rough Riders 150 150 Rough Rider Plt. 6 Rough Riders 150 150 |

It can be useful to look at what you want to build towards, so when buying for a smaller army you don't end up with formations you don't want in a larger one. |

Hiya I'd definately drop the hydra from the infantry company as it won't last 5 minutes being the in vehicle in the formation. The army also seems a little more assault orientated than I would play certainly. The tank and HQ companies should be made mandatory. Their invaluable. Infantry is always good and your not playing imperial guard if you don't have any artillery. Tank Co. 1 Vanquisher, 9 Leman Russ 650 1 Hydra 50 700 Regimental HQ 1 Commander, 12 IG Infantry, 7 Chimera 500 1 Hydra 50 550 Infantry Co. 1 Commander, 12 IG Infantry 250 4 Fire Support 100 or 2 Snipers 50 2 Ogryns 50 350 Artillery Battery 3 Manticores or Basilisks 250 250 Rough Rider Plt. 6 Rough Riders 150 150 =2000pts Would give a nice mix and be fun to play with. |

And get yourself a new keyboard. The one you have now seems to be faulty. |
