I don't think of the IG as an idividual army. Even in SM2 I thought of the
"Imperials" as one conglomerated army. (And was often labled as heretical
on this list!) I also don't mind the IG having crappy stats. The only thing
that bugs me is that I have to pay through the nose to get those crappy stats!
