http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40K for a while now and just finished painting up my Imperial Guard (Grey and Black), now that I'm done with that and am currently too poor to buy some more I thought i'd write up some fluff for my army! So far what I've got is their regiments name and their home worlds name; The 93rd Corovian Vanguard, nicknamed "The Corovian Meatbags" due to the fact that they're often found right at the front of an assault...being the meatbags and cannon fodder between the nasty xenos/heretics and the important people. The planet they're from is called Corov which is on the fringe of Imperial space. Now that is pretty much what i've got, yeah I know not a lot and i'm working on it, but whilst im doing that I thought 'Hey why not let the people folk at DakkaDakka have at it and help me out and come up with some fluff ".

Cheers in advance guys, if you need any more info about the army just ask

Try to find a single special, unique element or theme and build everything around that.

What class they are recruited from (gangers, tribal warriors, professional standing army, conscripts, etc)
Their reputation and personality (stubborn, ferocious, disciplined, undisciplined, crafty, etc)
Favored tactics, favored weapons
Common iconography. Heraldic colors, symbols, animals, mottos, nicknames.
You already have some of this of course. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635894/7613589.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635894/7613589.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635894/7613749.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635894/7613749.page GMT
Do you prefer neat uniforms Mordian Iron Guard style or more of a grimy Armageddon Steel Legion look? Do they march into enemy guns in ordered regiments or they do they surge forwards in a mass of bodies? What about vehicle use?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635894/7613763.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635894/7613763.page GMT
