Do both, you could fit so much into the rules set
Mammoth Tank Baneblades, Flame tank Hellhounds, Zone trooper Storm Troopers and Shadow Team rough riders!
If not, go Nod

NOD obviouslythough both look stunning!
GDI. Now build a Mammoth!
I would really like to see you do a Hand of NOD too, that would make my day.
Imagine doing a Temple and making it 6x4 :-o
*collapses from too much awesomeness*
Why are you so mean to make us choose!
If I absolutely have to I say NOD, but just out of interest how did you do the GDI arms
are they just trimmed cadian ones?
P.S Kane Lives!

Do NOD, just because they look cooler
NOD Please!
But you gotta do the Nod soldiers wearing red with black armor though :P
Being a brave, innovative fellow, I will pick the third option: we need RED ALERT 2 SOVIETS!
Come now, Comrades! Our interdimensional proletariat allies of the Red Guards require our assistance in ridding the multiverse of Fascism, Imperialism, and Capitalism!
Now just doing Battle Reports.

3) Scrin!
4) Do both!
I figure I agree with you all, I really always wanted a little themed army of GDI to play again some Noddies. So I'm slowly going to build up bits and pieces of both and try fit the selections into (primarily, because it's so diverse) the IG army list. I was browsing through the (soon to be replaced) codex to get an idea. My immediate notions were:
My whinging aside, I have about 4 troopers left over from the box of Cadians I bought eons ago (most were turned into Tau Auxilleries, but I painted a small group up out of boredom in a basic green trooper style, along with a little heretic in there hehe). The remains are photographed below...
Ooh they're a bitter lot. Since a few of you were asking for more specifics on how I was converting the troops, I grabbed that grizzly trooper on the right and began hacking at him to make a second Nod Soldier.
The first step was to cut off the raised sides of the helmet and the imperial skull on the forehead. I also chose poorly with this particular head because the helmet is slightly ajar on the troopers head, and he has that chin guard that I had to chop off too. I tend to also cut the nose on the face right back so it doesn't get in the way when the Greenstuff goes on. Oh of course I cut the barrel off the gun as well. Largely because I don't want it to look like a lasgun, and also because if I wasted my time trying to convert totally authentic Nod rifles, I'd lose interest in the time involved to convert a real army.
For the GS, I simply put a small ball right onto his face and smooth it out, then carefully cut the visor shape into it, and neaten the edges a bit. I'd recommend using a blade rather than the hobby knife, for the finer edge. I also add a few basic little rectangles of GS to his elbows and knees for simple padding. Finally, because Nod Troopers don't walk around with exposed skin (seriously, check the in game models) unless they're a commando, I put a small strip of GS around each of the wrists, blended the one end into the flesh of the back of the Guardsman's hand, and put a more severe edge on the opposite side, so it flared out like some big leather gloves.
I quickly fiddled this guy to put some sort of progress in here, and photographed him up. I'll paint him up tomorrow
I'm presently working on a Wolverine Walker for GDI (I found an old plastic Dreadnaught which has the perfect chassis for the GDI Steel Legion Wolverine) and a couple of rockettroopers for a heavy weapons team in the Nod infantry squad (counts as missile launcher heavy weapon team).
Pic below:
I'm putting a lump of Milliput in for the chest since the pinkish tabard of the rocket guys covers it up and the other torsos in my bitz box were too bulky. Actually the spare bare arms I've got are also horribly bulky, all Catachan and Fantasy WH Chaos marauder arms (all with crazy steroid muscles on em lol), so I might have to try sculpting some simple arms... ick.
I'll try do some more work on them tomorrow, along with another GDI infantryman, a Grenadier (counts as Grenade Launcher).
Well while my piccy reply is being approved, I'll put a few extra thoughts
Nod Ogryns -> Cyborgs (totally agree with you Lepp, AND the Tau Stealth Suit models have the perfect profile for the C&C3 cyborgs)
GDI Ogryns -> Mutants or Zone Troopers. One way or another I'm making some damned mutants with rail rifles :P
When I have some decent forces I'm going to start working on terrain, namely a tiberium field and scale buildings (Hand of Nod? Hell yeah!). Probably a Nod Base because it has more iconic buildings than the GDI one (which are generally generic looking by comparison).
As soon as we have plastic greatcoat guard, I'll be there, molotovs in hand

So metal I make my own sushi. And then eat it. With green tea. Made from babies.
Between the two examples shown, I would go with the Nod. They kinda looks like a cross between Boba Fett and Cobra Commander.
... holy hell, that's what they look like! Good call CaptainMatt.
Corryn, Destro would make an awesome Commissar
