I am curious on the general popularity of each regiment.

Sort-of Elysians, but I use custom lore for them.

A custom regiment from a marine homeworld that lost it's marines.

You should probably add homebrew but i settled with Other

Yeah, if it's a homebrewed just vote "other" or the closest applicable regiment.

(I personally play Tallarn btw.)

DKoK

EDIT: and a custom mechanized army with Cadian bodies and Pig Iron Productions Kolony Militia heads.

Way more of Death Korps than I suspected, lol.

I use Steel Legion models.

Homebrewed fluff and colors though.

Cadian. Out of the 'WH40K' selection I think they look the best.

Standard colours. A 'swampy'-looking green for their armour, and a dark brown for their fatigues. Lasguns are black with silver furniture.

Why is the most published regiment shoved into "other"?

Tanith First and Only for me... with some Pardus Armour.

Even Pardus, we know of its 8th, 12th, and 34th regiments.

I am sorta shocked at the amount of DKoK. I play DKoK and love my trench coated troops. I have my own fluff behind them and call them the 110th mobile infantry and city pasification korps.

I also use the renegade models for my CSM allied Imperial Guard... not really any one given regiment

6? I am curious as to how many this finishes at.

I personally love each and every IG regiment, and can totally see why someone would choose each and every one, lol.

I'm surprised at the lack of Catachan on this poll.

Sorry, I probably shouldn't have.

Because there are no readily available Tanith models?

Catatchans.

Because, yeah Rambo is BA. And unlike other regiments, they foster classic macho values like leadership by example, a blatant disregard for danger, and hand-to-hand combat.

Nacho, nacho, nacho man... they wanna be,
a nacho man!

Lol, for some reason I never really made the Catachan-Rambo connection until just now.

I have major respect for that.

Voting for a friend that doesn't have an account here and I can play with the army if I want: Tallarn!

Woot, woot! So awesome to hear I'm not alone

Steel Legion, all the way. Custom colours, backround etc., though.

I have my own regiment.
only use the cadian models..... since there is nothing else available (cheaply and readily anyways, without having to order special models and such.)

Otherwise its lots of heavy armor and experimental weapons

I don't have a lot, but Valhallans are my poison. I've put a bunch of money down on the Raging Heroes kickstarter with the intent to use them as 'counts-as' IG. I figure they would make good Valhallans. (I'm just going to model the Jailbirds on desert bases. )

Oh my god thank you for showing me this, lol.

I'm going to buy some for my Tallarn when they launch.

I shall first purchase Cruz, that heavy gunner, paint her in Tallarn colors with black skin, and use her as Gunnery Sergeant Harker.

DKoK (see signature link).

I'm not hundred percent a IG player they are my allied troop but I do a kind of rag tag thrown together looking homebrew regiment.

I've got an airborne force that's technically Inquisitorial Stormtroopers leftover from the 3e Daemonhunters book that serve as Allies to my Grey Knights, but in my fluff explanation they're Harakoni Warhawks, which are hilariously obscure (they aren't mentioned in the fluff except for about a paragraph buried in the 3e Imperial Guard Codex, and the employees at my local Games Workshop store have never heard of them).

I´ve got about 1,5k of Cadian Shock but if i had the $ I´d get a massive amount of DKOK infantry. Those models are so neat that I am thinking of dropping IG until i finish uni and earn some real money...

Then they got some love recently! I knew I heard that name before! They show up in this book: (Spoilered because of gigantic image)



And they KICK ASS!!!

37th Catholic Space Nazi's

But I do use Nazi uniformed models, painted in a black and green scheme to take away from the stigma

Common man, the special character that operates alone behind enemy lines from the guard codex is called Marbo.

Personally I run a home-brewed army. I think playing guard encourages you to make up your own paint schemes and history.

Plus, it allows me to collect multiple model types and just say that they're all from the same planet. I have a ton of cadians, catachans and some valhallans. Sad to see that the metal valhallans are gone from the GW website. Hopefully they bring them back as fine cast at some point. With my minis addiction I was going to start steel legion and mordians eventually.
