IG doctrines - a must?

[wing5wong]

do you have to take doctrines?
or can you just pick your army straight out of the list

[Ramrod]

O_O



Using the full list without Doctrines is always a valid option and is perfectly representative of any number of regiments... snip

i hope nobody posts another one of these "i dont know how to read my codex" threads, because i'll hang myself.

[wing5wong]

lol, i really should read these things more closely...

[Ramrod]

lol, please do. i don't want to die, but if i have to, i WILL martyr myself in the name of education.

[wing5wong]

lol

[alex145]

right....

[Draken2034]

omg, read the second paragraph very closely on page 55. :smash: and read the rest of your codex while your at it to. :D

[Retribution]

What might be a better topic is, Do you use doctrines in your army, or do you take it straight from the codex?

[Pokerface]

Hey do all infantry move 6inches?

[Draken2034]

no they move 52 inches. of course they move 6 inches :smash:. do i take doctrines? ya, sharpshooters, drop troops, special weapons, stormtroopers and closequarter drill(might be wrong on the name of it)
either that i take, conscripts, a modified jungle fighters, sharpshooters, light infantry and special weapons.

or i dont take any, depends on who im playing and what restrictions(points wise) there are.

[ThirdDanScoota]

Pokerface, please get the rulebook (or if you do, read it). I dont actually have the new I.G Codex, is it much different (besides the Doctrines)?

[Bregor]

TDS:

There's a good bit of minor points rebalancing in the new Codex, along with a new cast of special characters. Oh, and a good amount of units have new/different rules (ex. - Rough Riders get Fleet now instead of Trot, Hellhounds are vastly improved, Ogryns actually have a sarge now, etc.)

As far as Doctrines go, I pretty much use Sharpshooters, and occasionally Independent Commisars. Other than that, I don't really use any of them; rest of the slots go into putting units back in (Hvy Weap Squads, Rough Riders, etc.)

[wing5wong]

this post was asking if you had to use them.. not do you use them...
as i now found out you dont have to use them, i dont.
