So having been a fan of both 30k and FO4 for a while I decided that I needed a 30k army themed along those lines. That being said this will be a pre-war ish US Army themed army. They'll be wielding ( hopefully) water-cooled assault rifles whilst wearing body armor and helmets of the combat armor variety for those familiar with the video game Fallout 4 ( and attached images below for the Fallout 4 art book). Survivors of a dark age may be one of my provenances, but the rest of the provenances and the list as a whole is up for recommendations. Of course it will be based on an infantry heavy list, ie lotsa either levies ( representing US National Guard troops) or regular platoons (being Active Duty US Army), and grenadiers (representing power armored troops). I tend to prefer lotsa bodies in my armies, that being said recommendations are why this post is here.

I like it! Although I am more partial to my idea:

Civil War confederates (where armor beyond a 5+ is represented by kine-shielding from packs worn on the person) it will be a stupid, fun, amazing army

Nice idea mate, always good to see fallout love on Dakka.

Looking forward to seeing this realised,

The fallout and warhammer aesthetic goes hand in hand

Helmets are in the works though exnay on the guns. Oh well we'll say that they are carrying combat rifles. Vic Miniatures is providing the vast majority of the soldiers bodies and guns. While I think I'll be raiding Vinni miniatures for the power armor troopers. I've got everything ordered! Now I have to think about my list..... Also does anyone use the arvus lighters? I kinda wanted at least one as a counts as vertibird but they're armor and weapons choice are like eeeeeh. Though I guess they fit the Vertibird perfectly, ie a gun armed transport rather than a gunship.... Any thoughts on Provinces? I was thinking survivors of a dark age and chem inhalers, sticking with the fallout theme, lol.
