Ok, so we had a discussion at the last game as to whether or not platoons are considered one large troop choice or if they are seperate choices (with the exception of combined infantry squads which are considered one squad). The discussion came up and one of the figures stated that the amount of lascannons that could be fielded would be overpowered(although not point effective). We finally all agreed that they are seperate units due to the combined infantry rule. So just for fun, I decided to see just how many lascannons I could field regardless of cost, although I did not upgrade the units beyond lascannons. So, for 8345 points, the Imperial Guard can field 164 Lascannons. Now thats a crapload of lascannons!
2 command squads
6 infantry platoons with 5 heavy weapons squads in each platoon
9 vendettas
9 leman russ battle tanks

Can you break it down for me? I don't know IG well enough to know where all the lascannons are coming from. And you're not referring to las pistols at all are you? Just straight str9 ap2 las cannons?
ReplyDeleteBTW, I added up all my most expensive necron units, and to completely fill up the FOC, I would only be at 5355, with 170 models.
ReplyDeleteLol, Every unit has at least 1 lascannon. The heavy weapon squads have 3 lascannons per squad, the Vendettas have 3 per vehicles, and the Leman Russ' have 1 per tank. lol
