Imperial Guard

I am nearly finished my 3rd Plattoon of IG. Each plattoon is composed of 3 Infintry squads and a Command Squad. Each Infintry squad has 1 Seargent, 1 Vox Caster, 5 Regular Guardsmen with Lasguns, 1 Special Weapons, and a Heavy Weapons Team usually made up of a Auto Cannon. The Command Squad consists of a Junior Officer, a Vox Caster, Heavy Weapons Team and a Special Weapons.

Right now the Heavy Weapons Team in the Command Squad is being painted. After they are painted, I'll apply decals and the 3rd and last plattoon will be finished. There are pictures at:

I am still missing about 6 infintry from my 2nd Plattoon, but I'm currently not motivated enough to finish them. Although I did prime 2 Special Weapons infintry.

Imperial Guard army -- Preliminary

I have recently started a IG army. The army was actually bought for my fiancee but she wasn't doing anything with the army. Also I was getting bored with my Tau.

The difference between the Tau and IG (modeling wise) is that there is more options in with IG. More options for models, posing, colour schemes, and for painting. The IG models are more detailed, and I can do more with them. Conversely, it takes more effort to produce an IG model than say a Fire Warrior.

For now I've decided to stick to the standard Cadian colour schemes. I've produced 1 Leman Russ tank, 2 test soldiers and a Sentinel walker.

I'll try and take some pictures of the test pieces today.
