Guardsman - LW2

"Where I fall, ten more shall take my place! And one hundred each of them! So strike me down! I am the harbinger!"
- Ollanius Pius, an Imperial Guardsman

Requires LW2.

Guardsman - A spiritual successor of the Trooper mod, designed for Long War 2. The class has similarities to rangers, but are obviously much cooler because they're called Guardsmen.

Brave, disposable soldiers, guardsmen go into battle with their rifle and combat knife. They perform dutifully as frontline fodder, but they can specialize into pseudo-grenadiers, stealthy ambushers, vigilant guardians, or deadly marksmen.


Normal stat growth - HP: 3 - Aim:18 - Will:6


Custom Perks: Mark Target - Mark a target for your allies to shoot. Allies get +15 aim against the target and that should stack with Holotargeter. 4-turn cooldown. (Mark Target, Trooper)

Lethal Shots - Your shots may not be any more accurate, but, when they do connect, they hit harder and your missed shots may still graze. Shots deal +1 damage and have an additional roll to graze (Grazing Fire, LW2)

Krak Grenades - Your explosions are bigger, faster, and you get free shaped charges. Gain the effects of Salvo and Volatile Mix and you get 1 free shaped charge, along with an additional shaped charge per charge in your inventory. (Modified LW2_APA_Smokescreen, Field Medic / Salvo, LW2)

Fenguard Training - Surviving many battles has made you much more skilled at subterfuge. Gain Phantom, Shadowstrike, and Conceal and 2 mobility.

Karskin Implants - Cybernetic enhancements make you stronger, faster, and more resilient. Gain Immunity to Fire, Gas, and Acid, along with the benefits of Combat Fitness and Combatives. (Combat Fitness and Combatives, LW2)

Scion Training - Harsh training and improved equipment make you much deadlier with your rifle. +10 Aim, +2 Damage, and +1 mobility.

Art of War - Maybe you're an opportunist, but who cares? It works. Deal 2 more damage with an extra 15% chance to crit against exposed targets. (Art of War, Trooper)

Spread Out - Call a warning to your allies, giving them increased mobility and dodge for 2 turns. 5 mobility and 20 dodge for 2 turns, 6 turn cooldown. (Spread out, Trooper)

Death Watch - Make a final stand, taking shots at any foe who moves or shoots around you while penalizing your defense. Wide Area Killzone with -20 defense, 4-turn cooldown. (Death Sentence, Trooper)

Fervor - Zealotry to your cause makes you do more in less time. Permanently gain an additional action, but lose 5 mobility. (On the Move, Rogue Class Mod)

Credits: LW2, because it's awesome and makes me have more than 2 active squads

Trooper Class Mod, because this thing was built on it

Field Medic, because I couldn't add that friggin' shaped charge any other way

Rogue Class Mod, since I referenced it for the basics and used On the Move for Fervor


Obviously, I don't own anything here. If anyone from above has a problem with this mod, contact me and I'll take it down. This was 30% for my own use and 70% FOR THE EMPEROR!


Recommedations: Lasguns - Because you need it. Not literally.

Spec Ops Knives - Because it looks better and is placed better than the default LW2 combat knife.


Xskin System - Because guns are expensive. There's an xskin ini file included in Guardsmen that will make Spec Op Knives a skin for combat knives, just uncomment everything once xskin is installed. Delete the ; to uncomment things.
