Minervan Tank Legion Imperial Guard Army List

The enemy before you is no differnet than any other we have faced. Trust in the Emperor, hold the line, and guard yourself against weakness. They will break upon our wall of steel like waves against a cliff, and then we will punish them without mercy.

Colonel Derrick Skautt, Minervan Legion

Forces

The Minervan Tank Legion Imperial Guard Army List uses the datasheets from the Minervan Tank Legion Forces section, the Imperial Navy Forces section, and the Titan Legion Forces section.

Using The Army List

The following army list allows you to field an Imperial Guard army that is based on an Minervan Tank Legion regiment. It can also be used as a stand in army list for other armoured Imperial Guard regiments, such as the Dniepr Tank Corps, Konig Armoured or Teutonian Heavy Tank, among many others.

Minervan Tank Legion formations come in two types: companies and support formations. Each company you include in the army allows you to field any two support formations. Although you can only take a support formation if you first take a company, they are treated as separate independent formations during a battle and do not have to move around together.

In addition, companies may be given up to three company upgrades. Each type of upgrade can only be taken once by a company. Upgrades are added to the company and are not a separate formation. Support formations may not be given company upgrades. Each upgrade that is taken adds to the cost of the company, as shown on the upgrade chart. Note that you may take any type of upgrade for any type of company.

Tank companies and squadrons may be comprised of different Leman Russ variants. The number of variants is listed in the units column. The variants themselves are listed in the Leman Russ variant and Leman Russ rare variant charts. Each variant taken adds to the cost of the formation or upgrade and no more than one in five Leman Russ variants may be rare per formation.

Minervan Tank Legion Imperial Guard armies may be supported by Imperial Navy assets and Titan Legion battlegroups. A maximum of up to a third of the points available to the army may be spent on these formations.

Special Rules

The Commissars rule applies to Minervan Tank Legion Imperial Guard armies (see Commissars).

Amphibious

The Armoured Legions of Minerva are able to convert many of their vehicles on the fly for amphibious use. For every 1,000 points one Tank Company may be designated as amphibious before being set up on the table. Amphibious companies count marshes as No Effect and river as Dangerous.

Commissars

An Imperial Guard army may include one Commissar character per 500 points, or part thereof, in the army. The Commissars do not cost any points.

Commissar units may be added to the army at the start of the battle before either side sets up. If the army includes a Supreme Commander than the first Commissar must be attached to the Supreme Commander’s formation. Any further Commissars may be attached to any other formations.

You may not include more than one Commissar per formation. You may not add a Commissar to an Imperial Ally formation. If you have more Commissars than formations any excess is lost.

Roll a D6 for each breach on the unit in the end phase of each turn. On a roll of 1 the unit is destroyed and all units within 5cm suffer a hit on a roll of 4+, and on a roll of 4–6 the breach has been repaired. Any breach not repaired causes one point of damage.

Imperial Void Shields

Imperial Titans are protected by void shield generators. The number of void shields each Titan has is noted on the Titan’s datasheet.

Each void shield will automatically stop one point of damage and then go down. Do not make armour saves for damage stopped by void shields, nor allocate Blast markers. Once all of the shields have been knocked down, the Titan may be damaged normally and you may make saving throws against any hits that are scored. Hits from close combat ignore void shields but units using their firefight values must first knock down any shields before they can damage the Titan.

Void shields that have been knocked down can be repaired. Each Titan can repair one downed void shield in the end phase of each turn. In addition, if a Titan regroups it can use the dice roll to either repair the void shield or remove Blast markers (e.g., if you rolled a 2 you could repair 2 shields, remove 2 Blast markers or repair 1 shield and remove 1 Blast marker).
