The Imperial Guard is a vast fighting formation, and unlike smaller forces such as Space Marines even basic troop movements involve the mobilisation of thousands of men.   In order for these orders to go smoothly the Valhallan Imperial Guard has a substantial command structure.  The first link in this chain of command is a Lieutenant and his Command squad.

Two of the Guardsmen may be formed into a weapons team armed with one of the following heavy weapons: heavy bolter at +10; missile launcher at +15 points; lascannon at +20 points; autocannon at +15 points; a mortar at +15 points.   One model may be given a comm-link at +10 pts.

The entire Command Section may be equipped with frag grenades for +5 points.

Characters: One Guardsman may be upgraded to a Veteran Sergeant at an extra cost of +10 pts.  The Lieutenant and the Veteran Sergeant may be given additional equipment from the Armoury.

Medic: One Guardsmen may be upgraded to a medic at an additional cost of +10 points.  The medic is equipped with a medi-pack.

Tech-Priest Engineer: The Command HQ may include 1 Tech-Priest Engineer at an additional cost of +40 points.  He carries a power and a laspistol and can be given any equipment allowed from the Armoury.
