Drop Infantry Platoon
(See
Infantry Platoon in Codex: Imperial Guard)
Found in every single Imperial Guard regiment out there, the infantry platoon is an ubiquitous representation of the Imperial Guard, as it makes up the very backbone of the army itself. As standard, a guardsman is equipped with a lasgun and outfitted with flak armor that provides minimal protection.
The standard infantry deployment, including officers, their staff, many guardsmen and a wide variety of heavy and special weapons. They are tactically flexible and make up the bulk of most Imperial armies.
Mechanized Infantry Squad
(See Armored Fist Squad in Codex: Imperial Guard)
These are units of guardsmen, much like an infantry squad, but mounted in a Chimera. These are more tactically flexible than infantry platoons, but lack the large numbers of guardsmen. They may take various heavy and special weapons.
M577 Chimera Armored Personnel Carrier
The
troop transport for the Imperial Guard follows in the idea of 'as many guns as
possible' toting six hull mounted lasguns, a turret mounted weapon and another
heavier hull mounted weapon. It can carry up to 12 men and is adept at arriving
out of nowhere and deploying a large array of troops. It has the advantage of
being amphibious, and so can also take part in naval assaults. It is very
durable, and is the basis for many other of the Guard's heavier vehicles, such
as the Basilisk, Hellhound and Griffin mortar. They play a heavy role in
mechanized regiments such as siege tank regiments or motorized rifles regiments
