They have medics.

Do you want the points rolled? Or just assign 100 points on top of the base 20?

[Bdthemag]

I was going to roll up a "Weapons Specialist" But if anyone has any other advice on what I should roll up, tell me.

Roll whatever you feel like being. Weapons Specialist is a good general weapons guy, who can use a variety of weapons pretty decently. Keep in mind he's NOT a sniper though, and in the core rulebook the Ratling serves that general role. Although with the supplement Hammer of the Emperor, a non-ratling sniper specialty was introduced which is more of a pure-sniper role, while the Ratling is now more of a sniper/sneaky/agile type role.

Do Imperial Guardsmen have medics, or do they die too fast?

They do, it's one of the specialties. Generally people seem to think that the Imperial Guard is just a gigantic wave of people getting murdered in ten seconds, it's only sort of like that. You have a low life expectancy and generally a lot of casualties are expected, but you're somewhat unlikely to do a few minutes into the fight unless you're unlucky. Medics are very important and they'll be in every single kind of regiment, regardless of their purpose.

Rolled, preferably. I trust you guys not to fudge your rolls or cheat. Remember, you have to keep what you get though. You are allowed to roll ONE set of stats, and you can choose only ONE to re-roll. Whatever you get after that, is what you've gotta keep.

Medic it is!
I'll roll up stats in the morning, when I can read straight.

[Elfeater]

Would the specialist be able to use a melta gun? Because an army of drop troopers would probably want something like that.

(( Is this good or bad? ))

Pretty decent rolls you've got there. If I remember correctly, thirty points in a stat is considered completely average. If you have a forty or higher in a stat, that's generally considered to be pretty good. Make sure to add any bonuses you get from picking stormtrooper, and be ready to add on to your stats depending on what kind of regiment you guys want.

Would the specialist be able to use a melta gun? Because an army of drop troopers would probably want something like that.

Yes, a weapon specialist is able to use a melta gun. It might be sort of difficult to acquire, and I'll see if I'll be able to get you to start with one by default. The Weapon Specialist is basically just someone who excels at using non-lasrifle weapons that don't exactly fall under the heavy weapons category. Things like shotguns, flamers, and meltaguns fall into this.

I'm not sure how I do aptitudes? I know I have 300 xp to spend since I'm a specalist but I can't seem to find the full list to choose aptitudes from with the prices.

[Bdthemag]

I'm not sure how I do aptitudes? I know I have 300 xp to spend since I'm a specalist but I can't seem to find the full list to choose from.

If you check around pg. 100 there are a few rules and tables regarding aptitudes. They can be a bit difficult to wrap your head around, but it isn't too hard. Basically, each type of role you can choose has aptitudes that basically determine what they excel at. It makes it so you spend less XP on things that your role would naturally be able to pick up and learn easily, and makes things that are a bit beyond your roles abilities more difficult to obtain. Pg. 102 lists all of the things you need to know regarding aptitudes and how they affect characteristic, skill, and talent advances.

[Alexandria]

Oh I see, ok adding it now.

[Harbingerjm]

Well, I haven't read the books yet, but some sort of aircraft-focused regiment would be what I would advocate.

You COULD be a full-out pilot regiment if you wanted to, although I don't remember if that regiment was a homebrew one or in the newest supplement. Probably the former, but I assume you mean something like drop-troopers. They basically drop in from just inside the atmosphere using gravity chutes to slow their descent. It's pretty cool.

Yeah, I figured we could specialize in paratrooping, space combat, piloting, and the like.

Fluff-wise, space combat and piloting are Navy, not Guard.

[Elfeater]

So, we are going to be a drop trooper regiment yes? So we can add those into our stats? But we need to figure out a home world as well?
Also with the equipment, do I ad that aswell as starting equipment?

[Bdthemag]

Oh I see, can you not improve weapon training? I don't see it on the talent list.

It's on page 153. Keep in mind that the pdf files are compatible with the search function your pdf of choice uses.

You guys need to discuss things a bit more before you decide, so don't add it in yet. Just give it a day until you all actually figure out everything.

Ahhh ok, I'm guessing starting skills come in at the first rank? I.E Known?
