Hello People! I was unable to get any work done the past few days. Its sorta crazy at my house right now.

you know, I wondered how those would look.
can't wait to see them!

My Imperial Guard Cadian Rough Riders have been started!

The Horse/Legs are from the Empire Pistoliers/Outriders Plastic box set.

The Lance and lance arm is made by removing the Sargent markings from a Cadian chainsword arm and only leaving a small part of the chain sword Moter. The lance is removed from a Bretonian Knight lance arm.
i removed the lance from the arm to add the power box that sends a signal to the explosive tip, sorta like it is a pull string popper on the end of a stick with a longer string.


The Flag is a Cadian flag arm with the flag removed and a Bretonian Knight flag added. An imperial flag bobble thing was put on top.
The flag will not count for anything in normal games but I am going to make one company of 30 riders. They can only be used like that in apocalypse games and a flag in an upgrade.



Please comment and such.

You have a stompa O.o
Nice work on them!

Fluff for Rough Riders:
Before Imperial Re-founding, the Armies of Caragara Contained many Knights. There was one predominate order of knights loyal to the memory of the emperor. The Knights called them selves "The Swords of Honor." The Swords were invited to send the youngest members to join the Blood Angels Space Marines, but In a Surprising move the Swords Grandmaster, Marcus Maximus Prudis declared, "To us, Being a warrior without fear is a warrior without honor. We would rather overcome our fears with nothing but the shirts on our back."

In response to the bold and Brave answer of the grandmaster, the Blood Angels Offerd to aid the Swords in forming a New space marine chapter, One that feels fear. Thus the "Swords of Honor" Space Marine chapter was Formed. The 500 of the Best and Bravest members of the Swords were augmented to peek ability. They became the best a human can be before he becomes a Space Marine. But to fully form a Space Marine Chapter all of those young enough to Become full fledged Battle Brothers began the ination to the Swords of honor Space Marines.

But not all "Swords of Honor" were able to become Space Marines. Those that were unable to join the chapter Joined together to form the Caragaran 1st Heavy Calvary. With grandmaster Approval the 1st retained the tidal of "Swords of Honor." Both the Space marine and Imperial Guard Swords See each outer as brothers and will do anything to come to their aid.

As such when ever a large force of the 1st Heavy Calvary is around you can to soon expect to see Drop pods falling from the sky, or when The Space marines are in a Large scale battle expect to see a Thunderhawks land a to here the sound of horses.

I'll just say its because I fell in love with Apocalypse Games. The SM units are to be used only as Allies in Apocalypse games.

I have a friend who asked I make the Fluff for Lord Commissar Fluffy.
So here we go.
When Fran Flogiston was the child of Don and Jen Flogiston who were Nobility upon the planet Tarof sub sector Tennon, Ultama sector. When he reached the age of 15 he was sent away by his father to join the Imperial Storm troopers. Upon Fran's third day of training Inquisitor Marcus demanded 50 Storm troopers to join his forces. But due to a Valkyrie crash there were only 47 Storm Troopers Ready for battle. Without telling the Inquisitor, Command Slapped Armor and Gave guns to three New Recruits, Fran was one of these boys. Marcus did not even inspect the men. He just swiftly loaded onto his Cruiser, Emperors Fury, and set coarse for Sub Sector Duchen.

Sub Sector Duchen was home to only one star with three planets. Fran and the outer Young stormtroopers were quickly schooled in the Art of war. The Inquisitor caught on quickly to the training, tho he paid it no mind. After 1.5 Terran Months Emperors fury emerged from the warp. This System contained the home world of Carack Race. The Carack were a young race that had yet developed FTL space travel, thoe they were still highly advanced and not far from FTL drives. Marcus' Job was to keep the Carack from posing a threat to imperial space.

The Emperor's Fury Approached the first world in the system. The World was Designated D1, and was sparsely populated. Marcus deployed his forces and targeting research facilities. But, Unknown to Marcus he was to late. Within a 10min a fleet of Warships emerged from the dark side of the planet and opened fire on the Fury. The Captain of the Emperor's Fury had no choice but to fall back. But sadly the Carack ships did not stop pressing the attack. The Wreckage Crashed into the plains of the central content. Marcus took 20 of the best storm troopers and set out in hopes of securing the wreckage before the Carack did. He was never seen again, and the outer 30 Storm Troopers set up defenses in the Laboratory they had taken. Only the Emperor could save them now.
