WHITE DWARF#294 IS MECHANISED IMPERIAL GUARD NOT ARMOURED COMPANY. MECHANISED PUTS TROOP IN TRANSPORTS, ARMOURED COMPANY HAS TANKS FOR TROOPS, BUT THANKS FOR YOU RESPONCE.

Uhm, Mechinized Guard is actually in the Imperial Guard Codex. An Armored company can include Imperial Guard in transports, which would be wise. I think 294 is the current rules for Armored company.

Thats true, troops can be elite or fast attack with or without a transport, regular troops must be mounted in a transport (ARMORED FIST SQUADS & STORM TROOPERS. I HAVE THE ARMORED COMPANY ARMY LIST AND ALL THAT. STEEL LEGION AND MECHANIZED IMPERIAL GUARD ARE NOT ARMORED COMPANY. NEITHER CAN HAVE TANKS AS TROOPS.

Would one of you kind gentleman let me barrow White Dwarf #294 so I could copy the Armored Company article. I can be at BOLDO'S between 6:00 & 6:30pm on Thursday night. I'm playing them on Sunday @ the Coyote's Den. Unfortunately I can't stay to play anyone Thursday because I've gotta get home and build more tanks. (P.S. I'M STILL UNDEFENDED ON THURSDAY NIGHT) ;D ;D ;D Anyone else interested in playing, it 5$ entrance fee wins get story credit. Registration is between 11:00-11:30 am. 3 rounds 1500 points, game time starts at 12:00. If anyone is interested, let me know.

To those who are playing or hanging out at Boldo's tonight, I shall be stopping in around 6:15 hoping one of you World Class 40K players has come up with White Dwarf #294 that I can barrow till the following Thursday night outing of 40k. Can't stay long, I've gotta run home and build more tanks.
If I have a chance to get home first, I'll bring in some of my redesigned Leman Russ tanks.
I SHALL BE KNOWN AS: IMPERIAL GUARD ARMOURED COMPANY TANK COMMANDER VON DRAGON AND THE MIGHTY DRAKES.
(JUST KIDDING EVEN A ROCK BAND COULDN'T SURVIVE WITH A NAME LIKE THAT) ;D ;D

Under the most recent edition of Armored Company Company Commanders and Tank Aces allow you to take 2 troop tanks for every one of them in your army. Also both the Commander and the Ace have BS 4 instead of 3 so i usually put them in tanks that fire non-scatter weapons like the Vanquisher Tank or the Tank Hunter. Taking a Commander for 100 pts is NOT a penalty that’s just how much he costs the same thing with a Tank Ace Don't bother taking sentinels because they get killed easily and aren’t worth the points Take Hellhounds if you want, I do not like them but one might be nice Definitely take an Armored Fist squad they provide a good meat shield, or your opponent will ignore them and in that case they can be used to cpture objectives. Take a Techpreist Enginseer, you will be glad you did. That’s how i play my Amour Company it would be pretty sweet if my Company played yours I think I would win

Sentinels are listed as Fast Attack Vehicles, but they are Walkers and walkers can only move 6” and assault 6”, TRUE or FALSE. That is correct. (true)Fast attack choices in many armies are not particularry fast. The other weapon is a multilaser Ignore refrences to "Catachan sentinels just follow the rules in the basic book. Catachans dont get the extra attack, its a doctrine that gets you that. Its a misprint use the stats in the main army list NOT the summary. They FAQed this That's easy!!!!! Improved coms have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH SHOOTING. Ordinance, normal or other. They have the ability on reserves and the other ability listed dealing with Preliminary Bombardment. (Read that rule in the Basic Rulebook) The second ability has no limit but you only roll Prelimbombardment once anyway.

SNIPER-G, THINK ABOUT IT! A COMMANDER WENT FROM 50 POINTS TO A COMMAND TANK FOR 100 POINTS, AND YOU GOT NOTHING FOR IT. WHAT DID YOU LIKE TO DO, THAT YOU CAN'T DO ANY MORE, AFTER I BLASTED THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR TANKS. ANSWER: USE THE ESCAPE HATCH, THE HATCH IS GONE, FULL POINTS, DONE DEAL. "LIKE I SAID, 100 POINT PENALTY+" DRAGON OUT! ;D
