And so the guard sucks in another one! Long live the grunts! I've been
into EPIC for many years now, but am also trying to make the change from
mostly marines to mostly guard. The only problem is that Guard Tacticals
just seem to be worth so much less than what you pay for them. I haven't
been able to come up with any good ideas for utilizing them yet. Right
now, I think I'll just have to pile on the Commisars until I can't stand
the cheddar. Be sure and let us know if you come up with any better
ideas.

I'm sure they will. Jervis mentioned they were going to do a _major_
revision of the Guard sprues. Personally, though, I'm rather hoping
they don't drop the old, generic guardsman. I really thought that
hordes and hordes of cheap, anonymous, expendable grey fit the
"presonality" of the Guard.
