Urban style paintjob, I went with the old school eavy metal bases because the only mat I own is a gw battlemat. There's some converted VDR vehicles in there, some stuff is 1/48 and others are 1/35. I also did up a count as malcador. The count as warhound titan is made from an old tyco battletech mech. One of the tanks is actually converted from a dollar store little green soldier style tank. The little dudes on the 40mm bases are converted from AT43 models, I was going to use them as sentinels but I realized they would look weird on 60mm bases and be way too short so I mostly run them as vdr. I converted some rough riders using dark elf cold ones. There's some grenadier vets and command squads in carapace armor.

If you like what you see please consider rating some of the units in the dakka dakka gellery, I would really appreciate it

**rubirub**

very nice army!
i love the conversions, they give the whole army a lot of character.
thats also a really solid and good looking paintjob.

**ArbitorIan**

This is fantastic. Simple, solid painjob ties everything together. You should make it into an Article..

**kenshin620**

Wow that is pretty awesome!

That is one of the best M3 Lee (Grant?) I've seen converted

**Optio**

Crying at the green bases that have (for me) ruined an otherwise brilliantly converted and painted army.
Sorry I just really hate green bases :/ and before someone sets me straight I know its personal preference.

**Joker58**

Wow, I am insanely jealous! Awesome looking army man.

**Rayvon**

Very nice army you have there, great conversions and a nice solid paint job.

**Griever**

Spectacular.

Those tanks......do tell.

**Lextheimpaler**

Cant believe you destroyed that battletech toy, Shame shame on you.

Nice army though :p

**ryanroberts**

Love this! And using scouts as guard seems to work- I'm calling that a green light to go ahead with the scout to guard conversions I had in mind!

**Gorgrimm**

very nice, cohesive army!

I love the vehicle conversions as well. It would be a pleaseure to play against this army.

The nice thing about the scout bodies is they tend to match a lot of 3rd party bitz makers heads.

Managed to snag it on ebay for a good price, had one as a kid so there was a great nastalgia to it.

It's a 1/35 so it was pretty big, I like how it came out though. The only downside is the multilasers counting as lascannons. Just didn't have any at the time and was too impatient to finnish it.

**bloodaxegit**

Very effective colour scheme, and I love the number of converted vehicles in this army, and the Penal Legion made from Flagelants was a great conversion idea.

**Rogue Wolves**

you have alot of cool conversions here! and the paint job is great too

**AlfonsoTheTraitor**

Awesome work I really like the APC with the three open top weapons. Great work !

**Enzephalon**

Wow....
What a massive army. I love all those conversions and the coherency of the force.

I have to admit that I do not like the green bases. To me they would look so much better on well modelled city bases.

That's just some minor critique though. Really well done.

The flagelants I run as a psyker battle squad, figuered they looked unhinged enough for the job lol

**Lone Cat**

everything in the world and outside this world.

good one meow.

**Darkvoidof40k**

Brilliant job there, very inspiring.

**DemetriDominov**

Insane. Are the little walkers sentinels, or are they Knights? Either way, fantastic job, I love this entire army.

**Two Spartan**

Love the riot squad =)

**spaceXjam**

so... how many years did you spend on this?

**juraigamer**

It looks great, and it's good to see a very fluffy guard army rather than tourney list spam stuff.

**Arcani**

love EVERYTHING except the bases. overall though very good job. Awesome conversions, gives the army a personality. What's the name of the regiment?

**Crablezworth**

Decided to part ways with'er

WHERE DID YOU GET THE RIOT SHIELDS? I WANT!

**Digits**

Always a shame to see projects sell off when so much effort is put in..........until that is you see funds ploughed into something bigger and better!

Great looking army this, very cohesive, and yet full of individual flavours.
