I like it. However, I have been toying with the idea of making an
armylist
for the planetary defense forces. I am well aware that they would look
very
much like IG but together with the SoB they could form an interesting
force.
The PDF would be IG with less vehicles (most as a support cards and no
special superheavies or praetorians) and worse morale (5). I know that
the
PDF would be pathetic but somehow I am attracted to the idea of Planetery
Cannon Fodder... Maybe I just have urge to design armylists right now. ;)

-->PDF forces could be an interesting addition to the Imperial lists.
They would be similar to IG (it's what the IG draws from for its own
forces), but on the whole would be less effective than the IG. A lower
morale value perhaps? Their company cards should probably be limited to
Tactical and Devastator types, and only the most common armor elements
allowed (a Leman Russ company would not be out of the question), and
artillery elements (Basilisks and Manticores). Normally they wouldn't
get special cards like Commissars, or Astropaths, and AM support would be
rare, unless a AM base was on the planet. These types of troops would be
great in a campaign game, as part of the initial defenders of a planet.
They would have to hold certain objectives, to allow the "profesional"
reinforcements to arrive. I can go with this. So go ahead Jyrki, I'm up
for it...
