Hi there. I've been meaning to do this for ages, and yesterday's Combat Fatigue tourney gave me the perfect excuse. The very first army I collected when I got back into the game was my converted Empire Militia/Imperial Guard army. The painting was very basic, and I included every guard-like model I had, using the 3ed
IG Codex.
It's been sitting in a box for years now, occasionally venturing out to be some allied Inquisitor's guard elements, but since the release of the 5ed
IG Codex, I thought it was due a quick update - at least so that it's useable. The plan is to turn this into a Infantry/Blob themed
IG army - probably no vehicles at all, and very little high-tech weaponry. Jobs to do are.
- Give the whole army a ink wash and highlight - the painting was never that good, and the wash will help.
- Give the whole army a matt varnish - I used to use tons of Purity Seal and they're very shiny!
- Rebase the whole army - scrape off my terrible old green flock/gravel texture.
- Put the heavy weapon teams on 60mm bases, convert the loaders into more characterful loading models.
- Re-arm with low-tech special weapons - the whole army had plasmaguns before and now I want flamers and grenade launchers.
- Build any extra models needed, see what bits I have over and make additional heavy weapon teams.
Here's a before and after shot for comparison. I've updated the Article for this army, with full army photos here -
