Well after reading through the fifth edition rulebook it seems to me that a kasrkin army of minium squad mates and maximum plasma guns isn't going to last too long. So I've been tossing around various guard ideas, still trying to find a good list that will last me. I am currently in love with the vostroyan guard models and their cossack look but upon reading their truly horrendous choice of doctrines (I know they are gone in the next codex, but I dont want to wait until march to make my army) I decided that such rustic russian looking models would make a cool army based around the Royal Scourges of Sepheris Secundus (Dark Heresy anyone?), a planet that is going to play heavily in my upcoming campaign. Anyway this is what I came up with:
Doctrines: Carapace Armor, Veterans, Grenadiers, Ratlings, Iron Discipline
HQ
Command Squad - Bolter, Plasmagun, Iron Discipline, Carapace Armor - 76 pts
Sentinel - Multilaser - 45
TROOPS
4 Stormtrooper Squads - 10 man, 2x Plasmagun - 120x4
Chimera - Extra Armor, Smoke Launchers, 2x Heavy Bolters - 93
ELITES
Ratlings - 10 man - 110
2 Hardened Veterans Squads - 10 man, Carapace Armor, 3x Plasma - 135x2
FAST ATTACK
3 Sentinels - Lascannon - 55x3
HEAVY SUPPORT
Basilisk - Indirect Fire - 125
2 Leman Russ Demolishers - Extra Armor, Smoke Launchers, Sponson Plasma Cannons - 193x2
