Topic: Hive army ideas.... I need some help :P

[Lt Kage]

I'm building an hive army. The idea is realy 2 armys,one police and army, and one of underhivers.
The basic idea is the army and the police are mechinised and have storm troopers (riot troops) . Now the underhivers are mostly consripts  with comissars and hardened vetrans also maybe some rough riders(bikers).
I need help with Doctrines please remmber that they will be two diffrent armys, cops and, undehivers

Any ideas would be great




Thanks for the great ideas guys

For the cops:

Grenadiers (Riot Cops?)
Iron Discipline
Stormtroopers (More Riot Cops?)
Mechanized
Ratlings (Police snipers?)

Actually I'd either do Stormtroopers or Grenadiers, not both, as it's hard to win with only stormies.

For the hivers:  You pretty much answered it yourself.

Conscripts
Independent Commissars
Veterans
Rough Riders

Which leaves you one slot.  Consider Iron Discipline (tough gang leadership), Special Weapon Squads, Hardened Fighters (fluffy for hivers), or Carapace Armor (Only for the Bikers, after all every real biker unit gets extra protection from their bikes; this might kind of imitate that).

For the cops, i'd do stormtroopers, iron disipline, mechanized, sharpshooters, and spec weapon squads.  Or you could do the exact same thing I just said, but instead of stormies, have carapace armour for the whole army. 

For the gangs I'd give you what nightblade says, but for the extra slot I'd give light infantry, since there used to sneaking into things and sneaking back out.

carapace would go well with the theme i think
