<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Imperial guard (counts as)"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Imperial guard (counts as) i was just wondering, because im not really a big fan for the models representing imperial guard, could i use some other models instead, would you allow this, and what are your thoughts about it.
if it is allowed (and ill check with local gamesworkshop) i would use hobbyco minis, i havent checked the scale for them but fingers crossed.

oh and if it happens ill either have an ANZAC corp or a british commando style.
C&C


edit: i just found out the 8th army is the way im going and they are scale 1:72 if that helps

I think you need to broaden your conception of what the Guard can be. The following is an incomplete list of official Games Workshop miniatures equipped with Lasguns or Autoguns. All ranges (except possibly Scavies) also contain at least a few different heavy and special weapons. With the exception of the Rogue Trader and Necromunda plastics, all of these miniatures are either still in print, or else are metal, and thus easy to buy used and strip down. (It's also worth noting that the plastic Cadians and Catachans look significantly different than the 2nd Edition metals.)

Rogue Trader
-Generic-looking Imperial Guard "Necromunda Spiders" (metal and plastics)
-Squats (metals and plastics)

2nd Edition
-Cadian Shock Troopers (metal)
-Catachan Jungle Fighters (metal)
-Ice Warriors of Valhalla (metal)
-Mordian Iron Guard (metal)
-Praeortian Guard (metal)
-Tallaran Desert Raiders (metal)

Necromunda
-Cawdor (metal)
-Delaque (metal)
-Escher (metal)
-Goliath (plasitc and metal)
-Orlock (plastic and metal)
-Redemptionists (metal)
-Scavies (metal)
-Van Saar (metal)

3rd Ed.
-Cadians (plastic)
-Catachans (plastic)
-Ganunt's Ghosts (metal)
-Steel Legion (metal)


4th Ed.
-Vostoyvan (metal)

Upcoming
Re-cut Catachans (plastic, rumor)

In addition to all of these possibilities, plastic Cadians and Catachans have allowed many armies to be made combining different sprues (Bretonian bodies with plastic Cadian arms; zombie sprues mixed with Catachans, etc.)

EDIT:And how could I forget Forge World, which has fleshed out many of the "classic" lines and also created several whole new armies (Death Korps of Krieg, Elysian Drop Troopers, etc.) The Imperial Guard have the widest model range of any 40k army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228343/535425.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228343/535425.page GMT Imperial guard (counts as) GWs will only let you play on their tables with GW models(or conversions that are primarily GW, plasticard scratch builds aside).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228343/535437.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228343/535437.page GMT Re:Imperial guard (counts as) GW and probably no official event is going to allow another manufacturers minis. GW has limits set on how much of a mini can be converted from non-GW parts so forget about whole models.

Well not 100% true. I've seen someone who works at GW build a fully converted plasticard mini. I have also seen GW let you use them if they are a good enough conversion. Then again, my FLGS is pretty nice to everyone.

DKoK I think are some of the coolest mini's in the game although it wouldn't be the cheapest army to build.

Ive seen those smaller army minis in hobby stores and they are alot cheaper then IG


You dont have to buy an entire 2000pt + army in a month. There are many games you can play with just a squad. Take your time and slowly buy your army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228343/748860.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228343/748860.page GMT
