Today let's take a look at more units of the Imperial Guard and how to use them.

That Astra Militarum, or to us old-timers, the Imperial Guard is one of the classic armies of Warhammer 40K. They represent not only one of the largest in-universe fighting forces, but also one of the largest model ranges. Generally speaking, they are an army that requires some skill to play, but that can be very rewarding. The other week we started our deep dive in the units of the Imperial Guard and how best they are used in this new edition. Today lets finish looking at the many units at your disposal.
Hellhounds

Hellhounds are a classic Imperial Guard unit that currently comes in three flavors. You have your OG, flame-spewing Hellhounds, your acid chemical spitting Bane Wolf, which I assume will break you, and the melta toting Devil Dog. In addition to their primary weapon, each gets the choice of either a hull-mounted heavy bolter, heavy flamer, or a multi-melta. They can also take vehicle equipment, which includes either a heavy stubber or storm bolter. You can take up to 3 in a single slot for a maximum of 9 in a 2000 pts game.
The Hellhound and its variants are a pretty solid choice AM armies...

Abe is that rare thing, an Austin local born and raised here. Though he keeps on moving around, DC, Japan, ETC., he always seems to find his way back eventually. Abe has decades of experience with a wide range of tabletop and RPG games, from historicals, to Star Wars to D&D and 40K. He has been contributing to BOLS since almost the start, back when he worked at and then owned a local gaming store. He used to be big into the competitive Warhammer tournament scene but age has mellowed him and he now appreciates a good casual match. He currently covers 40K tactics and lore, as well as all things Star Wars, with occasional dabbling in other topics. Abe remains in mourning over the loss of WFB to this day.
