What change you ask? It is something that has bugged me about the steel legion from time immorial -


They have missile launchers!

What more my steel legion infantry have missile launchers!

The change? Change the weapon listing in the stats to missile launchers!

I accept that the fire support squads can have autocannon, mating the majority weapon on the stands and all but this other change is absolutely vital!

I definatively agree, indeed I am surprised everyone hasn't immediately voted!

I didn't think there was *any* infantry heavy weapon on the infantry bases these days.

I also thought that Missile Launchers were in the majority on the heavy weapons support bases...

My Cadians have shoulder-fired lascannons...

And my "Valhallans" have wheeled autocannons and shoulder-fired missile launcher teams.

But I don't believe the current IG sprue contains either autocannon or missile launcher models.

Question: Are the fire support units cast as a single piece, or are the missile launcher & autocannon models detachable?

Single piece. They're fugly.

And because the True SteelLegion don't use Fire Support Platoons i don't use them :)

On Topic: While it may be appropiate to write Missile Launcher instead of Autocannon in the Imperial Guard Infantry stats but the armylists name only is Steel Legion not the armylist itself.

Its a general Tithed Imperial Guard Regiment wich has accsess to a great deal of Imperial Guard equipment not available on Armageddon but from off system ressources.

Aye.

I vote that the name 'Steel Legion' be dropped, and replaced with 'Generic Imperial Guard Regiment Army List'.


EDIT:

And that Sentinels get Lascannons.

I guess the Models have Multi-lasers. If they had Lascannon there would be energy cables sculpted under the gun.

Multi-lasers are also supposed to have cabling under the gun.

Here are pictures of Sentinels:

Multi-laser:

You're right. Bothhave cables but the Epic models not.

But as you can see the Multi-laser has some sort of panel under the barrel. It's more promonent than on the Lascannon.

Here the Epic Sentinels:

(yes i use yours :D )

Which t ome clearly show this prominent panel under the barrel.

But in the end it's really hard to tell so you can use the model for both.

In the mean time, a Lascannon has one barrel, whilst a multi-laser should have 4... the mystery deepens! :D
