Well guys, I have a new job with nothing to spend money on, so I am going to start an Imperial Guard Army. As a note my main opposition where I live is Space Marines and Tyranids.

Fluff behind the 'Army'
Approximately 150 years ago one of the High Lords of Terra managed to pass a motion to start a crusade into a region that was previously conquered by Solar Macharius, spearheaded by Terrans, but followed by many other regiments. This expedition was initially successful, however when the Tyranid threat appeared the expedition found itself on the forefront of this meatgrinder, now on the brink of annihilation the force is gasping for life in a sector torn by war.

Okay here are the available roles

Okay guys I have a slightly odd template, here it is

Name: Dalcassian
Age:185
Description: Grey Hair, Large Build(or w/ever this is basic description)
Likes: Commanding from the Front, drinking with the soldiers, glory
Dislikes: Cowards, Traitors
Hopes: To see Terra once more
Model:(Now this is important, if you guys all do FW models it will take me much more time to make this army due to cost)Cadian Commander

Also if you want to rename your squad tell me, this however will be on a first come first serve basis.

Age:31
Description: Jet black hair, emerald green eyes, reagal face, fair build, never seen out of his emaculate uniform.
Likes: To see his tank spit death on the foes of the Imperium, spends much time on his tank, often paints artsy kill marks on the basket.
Dislikes: Failing, people who fail, foes of mankind, a dirty tank when on leave.
Position: Leman Russ(2) Commander.

Can I be the Platoon Commander? If so, his name is Prometheus.

Erreul I need a character name, and BattleBrother I need more info Welcome to the expedition.

Call me... Dane

Age: 44
Description: Black hair, Medium build, Blue eyes, Scars from many years of battle
Likes: Drinking, Having lots of glory
Dislikes: Heretics, Xenos or anything against the Emperor
Hopes: Nothing

Now the name

Can my tank be renamed to Arrogant Bliss?

Erreul wrote:Can my tank be renamed to Arrogant Bliss?

Done

Name: Flyk "Ricochet" Gummsman
Age: 34
Description: Well built, matte black hair, dark brown eyes, chiseled features, rarely seen in uniform
Likes: His tank Doom Harbinger, fist fights (he's very good at them to), his fellow crew, and amasec
Also likes: Aiming, firing, hitting, celebrating, in that order
Dislikes: New tank commanders, missing, crying, airmen, anything with more firepower than his tank
Hopes: To one day meet a tank commander who doesn't die in his tank (explained later), to blow up a titan, and shoot down a flyer
Model: Imperial Guard crewman http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440253a&prodId=prod40007a the one with the fuel canisters
Position: Gunner of Doom Harbinger (Tank 1)

I will send some more detailed fluff when it is ready.

Also, there should be drivers for each of the tanks, otherwise we would be getting no where.

Thanks boss. "Arrogant Bliss road into battle, spitting hell from it's canons, causing the foes of mankind and the God Emperor to wither away, crushed under unforgiving treads, the liberated people happy and over joyed thanks to the tanks actions." The tank would began amazing propaganda machine.

Alright, editted names positions etc(I ditched the loader position, in favor of a driver)

Looks good.

hmmm...I will have to pass. I guess I am just into the RP board ATM, and my 'join an army' enthusiasm died off when the original one was disbanded.

Damn, this one looked fun :/

Can I be a Vet? I shall be called Diuos.
