263 pts

Colonel Stranski leads a Command HQ consisting of himself and four guardsmen. They are mounted in a Chimera (see below). They have the same stats as a standard Command HQ from Codex: Imperial Guard.

Command HQ: Stranski is armed with two plasma pistols (counts as twin-linked). These are also Trademark Items (see Codex: Imperial Guard). One member of the Command HQ is a Medic, equipped with a medi-pack. One member of the Command HQ carries a comm-link. The other two members of the squad carry melta-guns. All are armed with frag grenades.

Chimera: Stranski's current Chimera is the regiment's HQ vehicle. It is a standard Chimera with the following upgrades:

Weapons: It is armed with a heavy flamer, and hull mounted heavy bolter.

Options: Stranski's Chimera always has the following upgrades, as described in Codex: Imperial Guard. As the command vehicle of his unit, it has improved communications. It also has smoke launchers. It may take any other Vehicle Upgrades from Codex: Imperial Guard as for a normal Chimera.

HQ: Stranski, with his squad and Chimera, are a single HQ choice for an Imperial Guard army.

Special Rules

'All guns blazing': Stranski likes to be in the thick of the action. Whilst riding in his Chimera, he may fire both his plasma pistols from the hatch. He can fire these in addition to any other weapons the Chimera is firing, and can fire them regardless of how far the Chimera travelled. The plasma pistols count as twin-linked.
