Praetorian Imperial Guard Muster Pt I: Whole Force Layout (638 Strong)



I'm planning on a series of posts over the next two weeks or so to focus on the different aspects of the army from the Commanders through to the Abhumans before focusing on the other non-Praetorian elements including the Ventrillian Nobles, the Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder/ Penal Troops/ Last Chancers and Gaunt's Ghosts.

As for the numbers in the title, the Army consists of  the following Praetorian models:

Armoured Fist Platoon - 55

Redcoats - 5 Platoons of 55 - 275

Lascannon/ Mortar Squads - 30

Ordnance Crews - 12

Tunnelers - 55

Fleet Troops - 55

GrimDark Camel Corps - 55

Stormlord Veterans - 40

Green Jackets - 40

Salamander Crew - 6

Gorgon Gunners - 2

Basilisk Crew - 3

Command HQ Veterans - 4

Sentinel Pilots - 6


Compare the above to this from 15 Aug 2011:


For the first time ever, I can no longer fit my other Imperial Guard forces on the same 4 x 6 table as the Praetorians.




This is in no way a legal army.  The Platoons are based around the 3rd Edition onwards Platoon set up, to wit, a Platoon Command and five Infantry Squads.  Additionally the Stormlord and Green Jacket Veterans no longer have rules, especially ones allowing three of the same special weapon in a squad.
