Well there's a hell of a lot of pictures. I'm slowly adding more units, hoping to get some griffons, devil dogs, medusas and manticores. I really want to do more penal legion and psyker battle squads, I've really dug them in recent games. Feel free to leave any feedback or ask questions.

*stunned* whoooow..i rarely see stuff like that 4000+ points of ig+well painted+nice conversions=pure awesomeness

That is win - sweet paintjob!

Very, very cool, you should be proud of such a large an impressive army!

Agreed, it is very nice to see such a large army painted to this standard.

Oh my god, it is amazing that you have the concerntaration/stamina/interest to paint so huge an army, and to such a high level! Out of interest, how long did it take you to paint it all?

Over a the course of a bit more than a year probably 200+ hours. I try and give everything equal amounts of attention but I'm more concerned with uniformity and assembly line style painting than trying to make everything a work of art. My armies tend to be kinda bland overall but have a unified look. Hoping to try and do some more camo oriented vets one day that stand out a bit.

What a clever use for a plastic Goliath model. I have a few of those floating around. Thanks for the inspiration.

Great looking stuff!

Some truly fantastic conversion here. I'm gonna have to pinch one or two ideas.

Sweet!
Great job. The only thing I don't dig is the bases. It just seems wrong with that "grassy sunshine" look.

I got a soft spot for the old school eavy metal look

Looks good , that's a lot of painted guard .

Yours is one of the nicest/largest complete guard armies Ive seen in a LONG time. Nice work man

Very good paintjob and

huge...

huge...

huge!!!

Man, you blew me off my chair! Keep up the good work!

Finally somebody else who has a decent sized painted guard army.

Any plans for further expansion of forces?

Incredible.

Nice work - I like the consistency in the paint scheme, along with the conversions.

Very Impressive. The overall effect is great. I like the level of conversion in this army.

Well I've read polonius's awesome codex review for the second time recently and it's really made me want more psyker battle squads. The one thing bugging me a lot lately is the lack of plasma and melta in my army. I've got 3 standard guardsmen total with plasmaguns, same with metla, it just bugs the hell out of me.


Thanks for all the kind words from everyone, it means a lot. Feel free to borrow ANY ideas that tickle your fancy, I take it as a huge compliment

FWIW, I just ordered some Skaven Plague Monks as the basis for my Psyker Battle Squads (20 models/box = 2 squads)

holy freakin crap that is AWSOME!

great conversion. I have found out that if you fill in the eye hole on the vox helmets with gs it makes it look like a visor and very hi tech.

Crablezworth, I think what makes this army so impressive to me is that while it is huge, it's full of conversions and all sorts of different modifications to different models - and yet, you've got a consistent, cohesive paint job that makes all the models look like they are truly a unified army. Bravo!

Impressive!
