I'm planning on making a small imperial guard force, maybe 1000 points, fluffwise they are meant to be a numerous but highly skilled fighting force to act as the basic frontline troops to back up my marine force (whether or not i actually battle with them is a different story)

i basically need ideas on what colours, what camoflague pattern and what conversion work if any i should use

my marine scheme is



fluffwise they are based on a gigantic ship, and number around 10,000 and have high quality gear, so yes, ideas please

aha, was thinking something that declared their allegiance to the chapter, and they dont generally have need for camoflague, as they participate in lightning assaults, boarding space hulks and deploying fast and hard on the ground to prepare the battlefield for marine insertion

i think that is beneficial to my interests, probably black armour, outlined in light grey and then grey camo on the fatigues, im liking that, thanks dakka

and now, any ideas for the models themselves? it would be preferrable to have normal guard models but with full face helmets..dunno, ideas?

that could work too, so basically an elite centric force, like kasrkins and such, maybe a valk once i save up

hm, the first one most defs, i see the models as kind of a mix between normal guardsmen and odsts, only because odsts move fast and drop from orbit fast but yeah, good idea cheers
