Thread: Imperial Guard Regiment

    Imperial Guard Regiment

    Has anyone considered an Imperial Guard Regiment? I know that the jarheads are more glamourous, but I was just curious.

    It hasn't been officially discussed, but we're going to get the Chapter finished before moving on to other projects.

    Actually it has.
    One of the original reasons that Marines were chosen was the "spare marine principal" that is to say that since the initial release of 40K as Rogue Trader Marines have been the best supported range, they were the first to get a plastic kit (the fondly remembered RTB01) and have now featured in all four boxed starter sets for 40K, this alone means that a majority of players will have a Marine laying about in a bits box somewhere (or parts of one) even if they've never actually used a Marine army, you can't really say that about any other army, certainly not IG. Unfortunately.

    Marines are also an army that most people know enough about to have an informed opinion on how one should go together (all the better for having a chapter that's decided upon by those building it).

    Other armies that have been suggested (and the answer's always the same) Are a WHFB Goblin/Orc army, a WHFB Chaos warband, a 40K IG regiment and a 40K CSM "Legion".

    Officially the answer is:- Let us get this lot sorted out first, then MAYBE with lessons learned from this project, we can start a new one. My personal favourite is currently Chaos for 40K (it has a nice symmetry) but at current speed, you should expect a new CSM codex before any official word.

    Re: Imperial Guard Regiment

    My suggestion would be to have Starlight send one IG model to every Warseer member (yes, he has enough for everyone). Warseer members could then paint them as Warseer 267th. Light Infantry (or whatever) and then send them back to Starlight. Then Starlight would have a completely painted army!

    That's just mean.

    My Warseer marine has been done for about 18 months and my Warseer Gaurdsmen is just waiting for a paint scheme.

    Re: Imperial Guard Regiment

    Damn livin in australia... it's gonna cost me too much to paint up a Warseer marine unfortuinatley.

    If i ever get to the UK or know of anyone i might try and get them to send it off to you lot or hand deliver it to a certain GW at some point.

    But i'd certainly love to have a warseer IG regiment. I've probably got 1/2 dozen spare guardsmen in bitz lying around i could certainly paint up.

    How? Are Australian GW products only made of pure gold? Is it some kind of prerequisite that you must only use brushes who's bristles are taken from the mane of a Unicorn?!

    I'm pretty certain I read somewhere that
    A, there were to be "Local" post-to points and that
    B, The Site would absorb the cost of intercontinental postage.

    Unless this has changed, anyone?
    40K spend '09: £205.70.'10: £87.50.'11: £29.00. '12: £89.00. '13: £6.00
    Models painted in 2013: 0.5

    for me it is actully cheaper to buy stuff from the uk site and pay shipping then drive to GW and buy them.
    mainly because of the pound atm
