IG vs. CSM
Posted: Sun 20 May, 2018 9:02 pm
Hi
I'm relatively new/noob, and find myself in a lot of trouble when facing Chaos Space Marines (especially Plague Champion) when playing as IG.
I usually play Comissar, and build order usually goes as follows: [Starting Guardsmen Sergeant] - Sentinel - Guardsmen - gens, nodes, etc. - Catachans
Somewhere in that lot I might get Carapace armor and/or Power Sword for the Commissar.
My problem is that, when facing 'nade launcher heretics, coupled with CSM piercing, Noise Marines, Blight Grenades, etc. my Guardsmen squads usually turn into mush before they accomplish much, and my catachans/LC tend to get gunned down before they get into position to tie up 'tics/NoiseMarines/Havocs.
Any advice? Going tripple guardsmen sounds suicidal, but would double Sentinel be prudent? Could Single Guardsmens+Sentinel->Double Catachans work?
-Thx for reading
