Hey folks,

This is something I haven't really gotten around to taking decent pictures off, but it is something I did a looooong time ago (somewhere in 2005 I think). My inducted imperial guard units and inquisitorial stormtroopers of my daemonhunter army.

With the new codex, these guys are now sadly stabled. A big pain in the ass, because they did take me HOURS to finish. Mainly because I decided to give them white armor and I opted to give them additional armorplates with greenstuff. It was an excersize to learn basic GS manipulation and to paint white anyway...

The parts that actually got finished:

Some detail shots:











And a few shots of the stormtroopers:





It's a shame that these guys have to be benched. For those necron players complaining that their pariahs are gone... well, GW forced me to dump half my painted force with the new GK codex. I don't blame them though, I chose daemonhunters because of the GKs and not the imperial guard.

It could serve as the start of a small imperial guard force though. I still have a few plastics lying around, and if I get a few more chimera's and meltaguns, these guys might still serve as good veteran chimelta spam someday. At least they'll have some modelling done to them to back up their "veteran" status this way...

If I'm lucky, I might be able to get a crapload of IG vehicles second hand and I might do something with it in the future. For now, this project is in the freezer though (at least, painting wise).

Hope you like it!

I feel your pain for what gw did to our Armies,Mine was a mixed force of WH with DH allies plus a DeathWatch Kill team.They have gotten me so upset that i sold off the Bulk of my 40k Collection and stopped playing 40k.Really nice job on the painting. Me i am tabletop at my best.

Absolutely utterly beautifully painted miniatures. Bold and striking white contrasts perfectly with the red.

Job well done!

Great job, your white paint job looks so clean I am jealous. To bad about the codex but looks like a great start to a Ad Mech Army using the IG codex.
