We don't need the fifteen points for it, though.

Why exactly are we getting Skirmishers when we don't have mounts? Ambush can just be bought with experience points.

You can't use a multimelta hand held dude, it'd rip your arm off if I'm remembering it correctly.

The heavy gunner flavortext specifically mentions them carrying multimeltas.

Ah, I read the fluff under the bullpup. It sounded like a good mix.

Yeah, thats what I meant, so we replace the melta with a multimelta.
Multimelters are heavy weapons, not sidearms. Meltas are, IIRC, longarms and hence practical to wield without a tripod or something.

The carbine is faster to reload and lighter but the bullpup has longer range.
So it's a case of which you'd prefer, I prefer the carbine and since it's our base it frees 10 points.


Because doing it that way means half the team won't get it, taking it now gives it to everybody which will be useful for our stealth approach. The extra damage will be helpful.

For our preferred heavy weapon is going to be a multimelta.

It might be helpful to use those ten points for a long las set, for sniping.

They can cover us from high ground so a sniper would be useful.

I planned to be a sniper, but not wanting to be a ratling, I went with Heavy Gunner. I'm considering switching to Sharpshooter later.

If you want to be a non-ratling sniper, check out the Hammer of the Emperor book. You can spend XP to make yourself more like a sniper later on, but it'll take a lot of XP considering the Heavy Gunner has a different set of aptitudes.

Ok, here's a suggestion, since you voted on Drop Troopers instead of Rough Riders (or, indeed, any of the other Regiment Types that would be much more effective for guerrilla fighting than Drop Troops), let's not get Skirmish, aka a Training Doctrine specifically designed for mounted troops.

Except it's not specifcally for mounted troops, extra damage for attacking by surprise is just as effective for non mounted troops, especially since we need to drop people as quickly and effectively as possible given our low numbers.

Finally, someone says it.

Guys, seriously. So far it seems like half of the players just solely want to be a super badass character, and are going for the generic "cool" sounding ideas. Please put a little bit of effort into knowing Imperial Guardsman lore, read the rulebook some more, put some more effort into your character besides whether or not they're cool or not. If this turns into a giant dick waving contest IC where everyone is trying to one-up each other, I guarantee you that I won't want to DM this for too long.

I don't plan to, I designed this character long before the regiment was settled and all the stealth stuff wasn't my idea. I can see it's potential though. Dropping in quietly behind the enemy then wreaking havoc.
My character is based around protecting her squad and being a loyal soldier. If they come out of it looking better then me it doesn't really matter.

It's all in the background I'm designing for her :).

For the most part I've just gone along with other peoples ideas if I didn't hate them, like I hate rough riders.
