Well the troops choice for the Imperial Guard are done now- so starting from the top we have:
Infantry Platoon Alpha
Lieutenant Lysanias and Platoon Command Squad 409
Sergeant Rhodes and Squad 265
Sergeant Festus and Squad 812
Infantry Platoon Beta
Lieutenant Paris and Command Squad 707 Accompanied by Commisar Gibeon
Due to too much Imperial Armour the command squad is mounted in a Salamander Scout – Scratch built forge world are way out of my price range…
Sergeant Troy and Squad 190 mounted in Chimera Sepulchra – again scratch built – trying to save money!!
and finally Sergeant Jones and squad 541 mounted in Chimera – Mortis – this one’s actually a GW model – spot the difference??
and thats the Imperial Guard done for now next is the compulsory block of Blood Angels… I’m not painting the whole of the armies in their entirety as I need some variation otherwise I get a bit bored and sloppy in my painting
Hope you like … more next week
Happy New Year to all 40K Fans..
As if anyone is actually reading this..
Anyway Back to the plot.. each army is going to be built in blocks of troops and seeing as it’s just battles between my son and I – and occasionally his friends (seeing as I’m a middle aged wargamer – I’m Johnny no mates) we decided it would be easier to pre-create the armies in 4 blocks based on similar points values and then roll a d6 to determine which size of forces we will have. This means we can get stuck into our game straight away and not bother mucking about with army lists – time being of the essence before ‘SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED’ makes us pack up and ‘tidy away our toys’.
So first Imperial Guard HQ and General Finnigan 
This is the model I’m going to be using for the General. It’s one I painted a while ago and think I did a reasonable job.. To build up the points and because we wanted them, we added a body guard for him, Regimental Standard, Medic, Vox Caster, Heavy Flamer and Regimental Advisors. Then seeing as a certain person had been reading the Imperial Armour books it was decided to mount them all in an Arvus Lighter for quick getaways – just in case..
The full team ready to go
astute observers will have noted that the regimental advisors are not the GW ones – I scratch built them myself from IG bits – same with the Lighter – sorry GW but I need to save some money somewhere.
Next – moving on to the Platoon Squads Troops Choice.
Sergeant Troy and Squad 190 mounted in Chimera Sepulchra – again scratch built – trying to save money!!
