I've a question for all you WH40K players out there. (Stop cowering and
come on out; I know you're there!) How are guard squads comprised in
40K? Marines seem to come with one heavy weapon per squad for
tacticals, and 4 per squad for devastators. Or at least that's how they
seem to be on the new E40K stands.
When making IG stands, should I mix in some heavy weapons with the
tactical stands? If so then how many per squad? How many per stand
when buying
IG Heavy units?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

OK, I admit it, I've got a 40K Guard Army.
THere are 2 main squad types:-
Tactical Squad Which consists of 1 Sergeant and 9 men.
THe Sergeant is armed with a laspistol and a sword, (with optional
upgrades).
The Troopers are armed with lasguns. One trooper may be armed witha
special weapon, (flamer, meltagun or grenade launcher). Two troopers may
be formed into a heavy weapons team with either a lascannon,
autocannon, heavy bolter, missile launcher or mortar (_not_ a mole mortar).
If the trooper operating the heavy weapon is killed, the other member of the
team may pick up and use the weapon, if he is within 2". In addition the
team may be split off whilst the rest of the squad moves forward.
Heavy Squad.
Consists of 6 troopers who are formed into 3 weapons teams, who may
have any combination of the above heavy weapons.
Note that The lascannon, autocannon and heavy bolter are all mounted on
wheeled carriages, (similar to the Russian WW2 machine guns), which are
about half the size of the old Thudd Guns.
There are no assault squads in the list, although you can use Rough
Riders and Ogryns in this capacity.
