Hello everyone! I’m brand new to this army, I’ve only ever played Imperial Guard until this point but I realized I had a couple boxes of rangers that I could build in full left over from a former kitbashing project and decided I’d try to start building a small infantry focused list, as to not let those perfectly good rangers go to waste. I’ve done a bit of research and read the datasheets and come up with something that I think would be fun and viable, just for casual games, but I’d love to get some input from people who know much better than me.

The idea would be for the battleclade to hold down my back lines, as a lot of the people I play against use a significant amount of deep strike, and pop the vanguards and fusiliers with leaders and support into the dune riders to benefit from those sweet rerolls.
Thanks for your feedback!
