Hi folks

as some of you might recall from the army lists and WIP models i posted eariler in the year im planning on a number of inquisition orientated armies, the foremost being an armoured company and a standard guard army (well with lots of greniders). however ive come across a slight problem in deciding on a scheme for the troopers.

the army itself is based on a force of imperialguards men that have been inducted wholesale in to the control of an inquisitor as part of an ancient tradition and pact between thier regiment and the inquisiton, however i have been struggling to come up with ideas for the paint scheme to make this bond work.

as things currently stand the following schemes have been decided:

Tanks - dark grey with white and red identification stripes on the forward side armour, plus lots of eagle decorations and some =I= icons

storm troopers - these will be painted as inquisitional storm troopers, red fatigues and black armour with white details and =I= icons again.

however for the troopers and command staff (who are also in kasrkin armour - pics later) i have come up with the following 6 schemes but cant decide. the schemes are:

please vote and let me know what you prefer and if you have a suggestion other then those shown above please post it and let me know

thanks in advance

Could you please post a bigger version of that picture? I can't really see it all that well.

I voted for #2, but I would add red shoulder pads to it.

An all black uniform and armor would give them a sinister look.

ive tried making it bigger but for some reason photobucket wont let me make the image any bigger! dont know why

I would go with #5 minus the red gaiters

im tempted by 3 or 5 myself, seems as the stormies will be classic =I= colours i fancied somethnig that reflects that - almost the reverse stormied red cloth and black armour, troopers red armour and grey clothes. mind you i intend basing these guys all up for city fight as well so that throws another stone in the pond
cheers

6, only just red helmets for sergeants, black for corporals and under.

1. with red shoulder pad and helmet (or 6. with black leggings)

a good source for I symbols is I beam of appliable size (aviable from modell shops)
