Just been introduced to Warhammer 40k by a work friends partner and decided very much that I want to start playing it so I have gone out and brought the Cadian Battleforce set as I like tanks and it was suggested that the Imperial Guard would be the best side to go for.

Anyway, I have got all the troopers and all but two of the heavy weapons teams built up now and just started painting them up (only one basic trooper done so far!), will get some pics up soon. Not sure if my colour scheme might offend some people as its Hormagaunt Purple armour and lasguns with the fatigues in Calthan Brown. Yes they are the "old" colours so once they run out the colour scheme will be slightly different but I dont mind too much!

I worked it out and so far my army is a (slightly pathetic!) 500 points all in. Looking at getting two more Sentinels and a trio of Leman Russ' to bring my army up to a better strength.

Anyway, be nice to hear suggestions as to what you guys would suggest to add to my army (Considering getting a Stormlord to take instead of the LRs on occasions as well) and opinions as to what I have done wrong (if anything) so far!

Thanks!

Do a bit of searching for a combat patrol mission, you'll have plenty of models for that (some times local game stores have Combat Patrol tournaments).

Leman Russ's are excellent choices, as are Basilisks.

As you're new, I'll just recommend what you think is cool looking!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4164095.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4164095.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4165302.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4165302.page GMT

Anyway, took some pics of the troopers today plus my one and only Sentinel (with the big old plasma gun) but I think Steel Runner needs a repaint, not keen on the original scheme now!

1- They look cool

2- They are fun to paint

3- They are pretty handy on the table

You will find a lot of helpful advice here on painting, modeling, list building, and pretty much anything else wargame related. So, again, welcome and enjoy this great hobby. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4174768.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4174768.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4175927.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4175927.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4191202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4191202.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4193487.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4193487.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4197032.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4197032.page GMT
My first LR turned up today and the Ryza Turret arrived as well so my first Exterminator will be being built over the weekend.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4212698.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4212698.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4212746.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4212746.page GMT
If you have P&M things it'd be best to put them in the P&M section. You'll get more responses about that stuff.

And Leman Russes are excellent.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4212756.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4212756.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4212759.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/443696/4212759.page GMT
