IG Elites Section Review

Often times I find people giving tactics and advice through reviewing the codex. So I'm giving it a shot with one of the shortest, and hardest to define categories, the Elites Section. So hur goes.

Ogryns: I like small units of ogryns, because they still get the job done in CC, and their job is to provide a speed bump, and they do that considerably well. Even the hardiest heroes have a tough time killing them in CC, they will, but it will take them a while. with a unit of three, having a total of 9 T 5 wounds. Overall, if you ask me, just a hair too expensive, I think for a viable option should have been closer to 30 points a pop. :/ but hey, still good.

Storm Troopers: There are three ways to field storm troopers that work, infiltrating, mini mech, and deepstrike melta. Deepstrike melta is the most common option, as it only requires 5 men, and its deepstriking melta... not too shaby, but if you want melta this is the ONLY way to deep strike it, so yeah. Outflanking chimeras, is a fun idea, but your better off using them to support your line, and provide a little extra oomph of firepower somewhere on the table fast. Infiltrating is a decent option, and the one I take most on a given game. I find taking twenty of them with two plasmaguns each, and a plasmapistol, nothing else, and infiltrating is a fine way to get a turn of shooting on the enemy and devastate their forces early on. In the long run they are going to die, a horrible violent death no matter how you use them, so yeah FOR THE EMPERAWR

Ratlings: I love the bejessus out of some space hobbits... seven meals a day, one for every hour they're awake. Anywho, they are great, as a cheap durable unit, that can also snipe. I find taking the bare minimum here of 3 for 30 points is a great way to get another unit out there, and get it to soak up some shots. Go to ground for a 2+ coversave, and you can put them anywhere on the board, thanks to infiltrate.

So there you go... wait a minute, where are the psykers? MAGIC IS THE DEVIL'S WORK!!!
...I haven't used them, and never will, so I am the last person who should give you advice on them.
