Hi folks,

being new here I thought I should show you my recently started ImpGuard army, the 74th Viridian Offworld RCT (regimental combat team).

I started this army somewhere around February or so, with the new codex not yet published and have been working on it since then. The main concept was to build a fast, lightly armored army with a cityfight-scheme which means a lot of work with camo patterns and such.

My main 'problem' is that I am a painter first and therefore it takes a very long time for me to finish a model - so the army is growing only very very slowly...

First finished model is my own version of Sly Marbo - I used parts from a number of sources for this, including Forgeworld bitz:

Next finished is a squad of Kasrkin - I had painted them 3 years back for the german GamesDay, at that point with no intention of ever starting a full ImpGuard army:

I might flesh it out with another 3 soldiers to bring it up to 10 members...

Not yet finished but on a good way is one of the old scout sentinels:

I used little magnets to attach teh weapon so I can switch them with ease.

There are a number of models in different stages of being glued together, first of my planned veteran squad led by sergeant Harker:

I used the heavy bolter from the SM scouts for building harker, combined with parts of both the cadian and catachan command sprues.

Harker will be accompanied by a squad of veterans with 6 shotguns (another use of parts from the SM scouts), 2 flamers and a heavy flamer.

Other stuff that I don't have pictures from at the moment are 2 squads of infantry, a hellhound, 1 company command squad, 1 platoon command squad, 2 support weapon squads (3 mortars and 3 missile launchers) and 2 more sentinels for a full squadron.

Hope you like my army, comments and critique are always welcome.

Glad you like them.

I will probably have my first game with the army today or tomorrow - 1000 pts against orcs, maybe using the cityfight rules. Wish me luck, it will be my 6th or 7th game at all. ;)

I hope to get some more painting done over the weekend, will show you new pics then. ;)
