Ran IG for the first time last night and had a few problems. I wanted to see if they were normal.

I had 5 Leman Russ and 2 Hell Hounds

  • Do you get results 1-3 on the Pen table a lot preventing you from firing your template weapons
  • Do you scatter your blasts consistently to the point where it seems like you're doing something wrong
  • Is it a good idea to run Squadrons so that when someone assaults them they can take out the whole squadron if for example, they are a Monstrous Creature?


The reason I ask is that IG scatter is only 1 BS worse than SM scatter, so I did not figure it would be that big of deal, but it seemed like the blasts rarely hit their mark. I've never played guard so I was wondering if you get used to it or this was an anomaly that will correct itself with more play.

Also, if you were wondering my guys were in 3++ cover and I always had my AV14 side pointed toward the enemy, except during the assaults of course.
