I recently started an imperial guard army. I didnt want to go with the usual gunline gameplay or tank company. I wanted a fast hard hitting army.
My guys call themselves the “Vesuvian First Strikers“ and are the human equivalent of speed freaks.
I use anvil industries minis, armored with gas mask and berets. I only field veterans and command squads. So far I've got about 70 soldiers, some with flamers, some snipers and a few autocannon teams.
Other than i have 2 vultures, 2 valks, a vendetta, 2 avengers, an old lightning (which i'm very proud of), 3 tauros venators (3 more about to come) and a to-be-converted-to-wheels taurox
Current plans for future buying: 2 more taurox, 3 tauros, maybe a commissar or two, a few more veterans and some rough riders on bikes (really looking forward to this conversion but it'll take much money and effort)
Everything with threads or legs shall not be in this army. I'm thinking about converting russes and/or chimeras to wheeled drive but i didnt find the right base models yet. I really am sinking much time and money to make a gorgeous army but I cant help but feel like it will not be effective due to the flyer rule change. What do you think about this project?
