I'm in the process of trading some old 40k models for an Imperial Guard force for epic. Here's what I have to work with:
1 shadowsword
1 baneblade
4 hellhounds
10 Lemun Russ battle tanks
34 stands of rough riders
5 stands of ogryns
6 stands of ratling snipers
20 sentinel stands
~60 stands of guardsmen
I also have paper proxies I can print out until my wallet gets up to speed, but I'd like to use as many of the actual models as possible for aesthetic purposes. My immediate plans are to proxy the baneblade as a shadowsword and use a proxy to get a full 3 for a company. I'm also going to proxy Chimeras becasue I know I'm going to like the mechanized infantry better than foot-sloggers. I'll probably also field some of the guardsmen as stormtroopers in valkyries, but other than that I'm interested to see what I can field. I'll obviously need either flak or fighters to deal with enemy air.
