To be accurate to the books, the squad should include one or two other models with regular equipment and stats, and names you havent seen before, to soak up damage before you get to the main characters.

Legit, you can take them as the best back field support command. With the horrid first points update of 10th mortars and carriages actually better options for points, having the ghosts as un-targetable command support for counter batteries is pretty great.

MVP for dropping in on a back line unit and wrecking havoc

@@Wasemir3 I have almost 200 kit bashed guard troopers using bits from Victoria Miniatures and GW bits mostly for my Ghosts. My Urdeshi are the standard GW guard models with the Urdeshi pattern puzzle camo! :3

Tons of insane utility in this squad, an auto include in any competitive list imho! Great versatility, very respectable firepower, quite tanky, and an insane redeploy that’s essential for mission play in 10th… all for 115 18:16 Only bummer is they cant benefit from fields of fire since they aren’t regiment, still amazing nonetheless Don’t have the new models but getting to break out my old metal last chancers to go on another daring mission has been a blast! Scope, Ox, Hero, Demolition Man, Shiv, and the Colonel himself proxy quite well as the A team of the imperial guard!

I think something else that's being overlooked is the Fights First. I missed it on my first couple of readthroughs and it looks like most other folks did, too; not only are Ibram and the boys going to hit and wound T3 opponents for for probably a good 8 or 9 damage, some of it with Dev, Precision, or -1 AP...but they're going to do it BEFORE the fight really starts. Whether charging or being charged -- talk about an upside, when facing like v. like. Put them up against other Guard troopers or similar, and they'll really gut the enemy before any attacks come back their way.

Sir I have first and only reinforcements in bound. I’m new to the guard but this was a welcoming video to watch. Thanks mate

Finally, been waiting for this 👍👍

For Tanith! For the Emperor!

Oh i have this one

you helped me better understand how to use them haha, in the last tournament in the last match I understood their real function, I always played in front and saw them die, I put them at the end and used them as a drip to do a secondary mission. Functional perfectly. Now seeing that they can come back and attack, it's much cooler, you shoot and no one shoots you! haha, Well, I could make a video on how to use the sentinel scouts.

I was thinking the same thing bout gaunts ghosts but figured I was missing something that would make them bad.

I want to do a full first and only army.

I just started building an army. I saw Gaunts ghosts at a store and it was my 2nd purchase.

The take cover order would improve the save characteristic of Gaunt to 3+, starting in the command phase of you or your enemy's turn. Then, the benefit of cover would improve the saving throw by 1. It works the same way as take aim and heavy. You would never get 2+ though, as you run into the "no cover against ap -" rule. Still, you get 3+ vs ap1.

First and only is the first thing I ever bought from GW 25 years ago, it was all I could afford and the guy said it was new and a good story so I went for it and loved the story as a kid. Now as an adult I would struggle to justify buying a 6 man guard squad for more money than a Russ, it's insane. Might stick with the old metal Gaunt I have painted up.

just found my original early 2000s kommisar gaunt blister :D

For tanith. Been using them since they came out in 9th

I’m new to 40K minis, I didn’t know astra militarum had gaunts ghosts… I was going to collect space wolves.. this is a game changer for me.

37% chance for Larkin to one-shot a light character is nice, sure.

Still have my original 30 gaunts ghosts models.

they should of added that psyker who knew when danger was coming.... but he got sent to the black ships... but now ya got milo who is a psyker and should be added as a adjacent. He can add ignore the first wound or something.

Chief! Please make a video about a noob friendly 1000point army idea! Like an extension of a Combat Patrol.would be awesome! Thanks! o7

ima order them soon..i just love them sooooo much❤

Certainly a must in my army... :)

I'm currently Eldar, but Guard will be my next army. Gaunt lost his chainsword really early. He should now have a power sword that causes devastating hits. Bragg died early as well.

Gaunt is severely underpowered only having a Bolt Pistol & Chainsword... instead of the Plasma Pistol & Artificer Powersword.

I can't see a situation, where this unit is useless... It feels like an autoinclude. Sure, each of the Ghosts have his own unique weapon and it can be a pain in the ass to remember all the different numbers, but it's totally worth it.

Killed yesterday one Manipulus in rnd 2 & a Dominus in rnd 3 with the sniper.😂

hits on 2, heavy and an order~ negates both a -1 to hit ability, and stealth. Larkin IS hitting on a 2

This thumbnail is great 😆

So if i made my own hero squad and called them gaunts ghosts and used the same stats you think anyone would complain? Ive got a bit of a theme i was otherwise going for lol

What is the tier list of officers for a mixed guard army?

Can't use Fields of Fire on this unit. Only for Regiment or Squadron units of which Gaunts Ghosts is neither.

Hi - I had a game on Monday. My opponent told me i could not improve my ballistics skills by more than 1+. I had a leeman russ with main battle cannon.

Your friend is half right. Under most circumstances you can’t improve a roll by more than +1 However the order “Take Aim” doesn’t give you a +1 to hit, it gives a +1 to your BS. So essentially you are modifying two different statistics that happen to slide together to have the same stacking effect.
