Beta Platoon (Part 2)

Check range, elevation, load... Fire

The Mordian 19th Beta Platoon is a full platoon designed to provide suppression fire and support to other advancing units. The previous post: Beta Platoon (Part 1) looked at the structure of this unit, and the unit it in Parade Formation, today I will cover the command and individual squads.

 The command squad is equipped much like the rest of Beta Platoon's infantry squads, grenade launchers to provide versatile ranged support and some command presence for issuing orders, and lending discipline to the stalwart Iron Guard squads

Providing both discipline and support a commissar allows the platoon to be harder to break in the face of enemy fire, and can also be called upon in the event that the worst happens, the bane of Imperial Guard commander\s existence: assault and close combat. 

If you have read previous posts, you will know that most of my commissars have Regal Blue accents to help tie them with the 19th regimental uniforms, this commissar was actually painted to match my urban Cadians, but in fluff terms it is simply a resupply from the commissariat, schola progenium, or the munitorium.

A trooper from Beta Platoon, armed with a lasgun, not effective alone but when he and forty of his friends defend and objective the lasgun provides excellent fire against advancing light infantry while the heavy and special weapons chew away at tougher enemy units

   This is Beta Platoon, they are impressive laid out in formation, and they are tough to dislodge from the back field. Many a stormtrooper squad and assault veteran units owe their lives to the heavy rain of mortar shells, pining the enemy down and softening up any positions before a push against enemy lines. Next post will detail some upcoming projects and detail some personal news, that will impact the Mordian 19th in a positive way.
