I like the Space Cossaks. I just wish that they made a Rough rider version of them. Maybe mount them on Steampunk Style Robotic Horses.

elysians, only 'coz they the are like futuristic spec ops. if there was a second choice i would pick death korps, because they look pretty cool and they lots of awesome models (3 different types of the standard infantry squad! advancing, at ease, and firing.)

I always liked the valhallans. I thought of space russians as closest to modeling the guard feel. Also because they have the the old style heavy weapon teams which I think look awesome.

Mordians; I don't know why, I don't think the're anything supercool. I just 'like' them.
I loved the older tallarn models; but the newer FW ones are putting me off them for some reason

I voted for the Praetorian guard. Ever since the Big Toof River display with them I placed them at the top of the guard units. Infact, I went and painted my Steel Legion in red coats and blue pants. They are my 1st Praetorian Assault guards.

Mordian Iron Guard because of the blue uniforms and dress hats worn into combat. No combat armour needed, just iron hard resolve.

Catachen (but I have to convert them into chaos renegades as either Khorne or Undivided) because they are freakishly deadly in the fluff and having them on the board is like unleashing an army of rambos.

Tanith, mostly for the fluff versus the model range. Valhallans are second, fluffwise.

Now, for the models themselves, well the Elysians are what I'd want to field, but I would miss the story aspect (as I don't know much about them).

Although I appreciate the fact most of the Cadians stuff is plastic so have used them alot in the past.

My fave 100% are the Praetorians, I still regret that one of the few times I was utterly and compleately broke was when those boxes where released.

If they do ever do Mordian/Praetorians in the future in plastic, expect to see a full Imperial Guard version of Rouke's Drift compleate with terrain.

No overall favourite.
They all serve as sandbags in the end.

Although I am modelling up a praetorian army using plastic cadians and head/helmet swaps from WF Zulu war line infantry (the cadians have tunics under their flak vests).

I did this not because I particularly like the range of models they had, but because I don't like the plastic catachans, or metal Tallarns, Valhallans OR Vostroyans (really loathe them).

Right before voting it was a toss up between Death Korps and Steel Legion, who are very similar looking and equally awesome. I ended up voting for Steel Legion just because I knew Death Korps would get more votes.

But right after I voted I realized I was wrong, and that my favorite IG aren't listed. Because my favorite IG are CHAOS RENEGADES.

I must say that I have quite a soft spot for most of the Imperial Guard regiments but I voted for DKOK as the range of models is just fantastic! Elysians and Vostroyans are tied second for me with the Steel Legion coming in third. Surpisingly the Guard army I have done is the Cadians, probably due to it being cheaper to do, though I have also bought all the models for a Vostroyan army as well. Just taking a break from the Cadians at the mo with a marine army!

2. Mordians - My dad was a US Marine and I always wanted to paint some like that for him for his b-day

Tallarn Desert Raiders all the way (since I got my first box back in '98). I just wish they had a few more models in the range... a flamer would be great, as well as a standard bearer, another officer, maybe a medic or comms guy... wishful thinking more than a decade on!

You've got to love the old metal Guard... They've got so much more character than the cheesy new plastic infantry, including the metal Catachans and Cadians (although the command sprues are pretty good in my opinion).

Check out my gallery for pics of the first 10 Tallarns I've repainted from my old army, which is getting a big revamp!

Gotta hand it to the Steel legion; those guys are outstanding and i wish they weren't left out of the plastics.
Still hope putting Yarrick in finecost was a hint that Steel Legion would be marching up to fill the role of the good uniform army. Lord knows cadia can't do that.

Don't know why they chose cadians and catachans for it but it sucks they chose dull & rambo clones for the guard regiments. I like Catachans but i don't think i could paint them proper. Steel legion i can paint; i don't need to detail any faces yet they still have more character than the Cadians.

I really like the Elysian trooper models from FW. I enjoy the fluff too - the only thing I don't like is that they have no tanks - or anything heavier than a Sentinel for crying out loud. So I'm scratchbuilding an airmobile tank to accompany Valkyrie-dropped squads. (If you want to see the WIP, check the link in my sig hint hint nudge nudge)

Elysians have to be the bravest Guardsmen around - jumping into the 41st Millennium with nothing more than a grav-chute, their trusty lasgun, the Emperor's blessing and their standard-issue balls of steel.

Not pictured: His giant balls. But just barely.

Altough, if, in the far future, they start remodeling the valhallans and make them in plastics I would probably get as many of them as possible. But, as said, that it is if they get a total makeover. If todays models is given out in plastic then no. Just nu.

Does anyone get fed up with the awful BL books on the Imperial Guard, the Tanith 1st and only are reasonable. But there is never a competent highly trained and elite guard unit that actually uses tactics. Yes they are a meat shield at the Strategic Level, but at the tactical level there would be some highly proficient, veteran and grizzled units. Think of the Napoleons Old Guard, or some of the SS Units in WWII. I would like to see some better literature, anyone who has read "A bridge too Far" "The Longest Day" "It never snows in September" knows that elite infantry formations (like Fallshircmjaegers or Paratroopers) are extremely professional and tenacious even in the face of overwhelming odds and high casualty rates. I just find that the Imperial Guard is portrayed as "Meh", which is fair enough for PDF troops but not for all the Regiments in the Guard, some are average, some are exceptional (Catachans, Elysian's and Krieg).

I agree, (though I would've mentioned the French Foriegn Legion, the Royal Marine Commandos and the LRDG long before the Waffen SS). The Kaskrin's get a pretty good write in by Dan Abnett in Hereticus and he gives the IG a fantastic flavour in his novel Legion in the HH series (to my mind, the best in the series thus far) I think that most of the BL authors are going through the motions and using a template and/or their 12 year old son/nephew to ghost write for them!!

gicks30 wrote:kasrkin are my favourite IG models so my vote gooes to Cadians

Yep, I'd go for Kaskrins and along with them, the 4th edition Stormtrooopers (the ones who look like a SWAT Team gone gonzo!

I love Elysians but can only afford Cadians so my Elysian STYLED Army will be mainly Cadians, suitably converted to look airborne-ish, with Sentinels, Valks and Vendettas )

Valhallans because I started when you could only get metal guardsmen. So it was them Mordians, Tallarns, Awful Looking Cadians or Catachans.

I picked up some Valhallans and some Catachans, but hated the flesh they had so much of.

When the Steel Legion came out I picked up some of them, and I wish I'd got some praetorians when I had the chance.

I've always liked Valhallans.

If they ever made plastic Valhallans, I'd have to fight pretty hard to resist temptation.

Always had a soft spot for the Steel Legion. Trenchcoat Guard always look amazing - on the tabletop, in artwork, in fluff, or just simply on a single model basis. And sure, the Death Korps have an awesomeness to them, but there's just something about the Steel Legion that really appeals to me. I'd give an arm and a leg for GW to produce a new plastic range for these guys, full of customisable options and the like.

why does no one like Catachans anymore! They are Rambo, Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, and all the other awesome jungle battle guys combined. And by the way, in the fluff they eat nails, benchpress terminators, and kill marines by the bushel, but in game they are just guardsmen. They really need a current edition codex.

I love the feel of the Catachan. The hard soldiers and masters of the Jungle Fighting and sniper teams, and they have some killer heroes to lead them. If only Mordians had that...
I also have loved the Vostroyan since the Battle Report (Back in 5th) in the WD about Commissar Von Blacke and his ventures.
Mordian look awsome as well, and I'm thinking after my small Cultist bands finished as well as my other guard army I might collect a Volpone based Mordian, Vostroyan and Steel Legion army... Still just an idea though.

It's almost unfair comparing Elysians and FW Tallarns, but just taking into account fluff and general model range, for me, it's:

2) DKoK

3) Mordian Iron Guard

4) Praetorian Guard

5) Steel Legion

Damn true. So incompatible with Cadians now as the proportions on the arms are just obscene, even for heroic scale. Still I love them. All guard are great, but only to the civilians they are defending, and presumably to the commander shelling out the cash to buy them!!

Thanks to many hours of tireless lecturing from people who care I can tell you DKoK actually borrow from across many uniforms present in the world wars. There are bits of French, bits of German, and other bits on the side as well.

They are pretty much designed around the soul-draining life of that era, sent off as young men who believe they are defending the greater good and committing themselves to the bleak future of unending war. And 'Krieg' is war in German.

At this point, I will probably buy the next IG plastic outside of Cadians just to promote NON-Cadian IG. Preferably that'll be Valhallan, Tallarn, or Krieg, but I would also eat up redone Catachan, Mordian, or Vostrayans.

It be better to have 4 different IG books with different standard human factions versus 4 different SM books.

I really like the FW Tallarn range, but I'd never pay for an entire army made of them. It's a shame that I'm so heavily invested in plastic Cadians that I'll never use anything else.

I love the fluff of the catachans. I have had a blast making a jungle board to use them on.
