Urzu4 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hello fellow bolt and chain sword members, I come to you after having my faith restored to fight for our holy emperor (I started the hobby 14 years ago as tau and am just starting my imperial guard force now) This being my first transmission I thought id introduce myself. I hope that we may bring glory to his name, and crush the xeno scum under our boots Urzu4 signing out- (ill be posting a WIP for my army as I am starting now with the painting campaign I see posted here.) On the note of posting a WIP could someone explain how I can upload photos to my profile so I can post them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Welcome to the ranks of the Guard. Tents are to the right and the parade ground to your left. Obey the orders of your senior officers and especially the Commissariat and you will get on just fine ;) There is a "how to" on using the gallery which I am sure some helpful comrade will point you towards - unfortunately I can't from my phone... Where is the Techpriest when you need them??? Looking forward to seeing your forces in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Welcome to the right side of the shooting armies, and to the B&C :D Let us know if you need more help with images, but for now tell us more about your fledgling Guard army! What models are you going to use? Do you have any plans or ideas about the type of Guard army you'd like to build? Here's the guide commissar elmo was talking about, a little out of date but should cover it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urzu4 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Thanks for the help elmo and warriorfish. Being an ex xeno scum and loving the scion models I wanted to build an army built around the scion models (making all my characters out of scion kit bashed models, and all my vets being kit bashed as well) as for a commander I wanted to do an ex guevesa (which i believe was the term for a guardsmen who fought for the tau) leading a group of elite soldiers after realizing the errors of his ways (forgive me if this wouldn't work well for lore, i'm just starting to read into it and it seems more likely such a person would be purged immediately for being a heretic). I just joined an escalation campaign and my first match will be at 500 pts. as such i am building lots of infantry (85 total) and i want to paint as many as possible. As not to double up on photos ill be posting my WIP on the campaign board and eventually a regemint WIP once i figure out what ill be. I currently have 3 heavy weapons done to test the scion scheme on them (i want my whole army to be "scions" even the basic troops) As for a direction with my army, im not sure yet. But the escalation campaign will let me figure that out haha. For my first match its all boots on the ground with some autocannons and mortars.

WarriorFish Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Escalations are a great way to start an army, keep you motivated to paint too ;) I like the sound of your plans, the Scion kits are pretty cool what sort of colour schemes are you thinking of?

Urzu4 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 I was actually going with the scion scheme for my whole army, I just posted some in the campaign but ill post here for you to see as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I like the colours you have, good highlighting too. I bet it'd look great on tanks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urzu4 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think my first vehicles will be a chrimera and a wyvern. after 500 pts im moving to 750 and from what Ive read, the wyvern forces our enemys to crumble pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Can't ever go wrong with wyvrens always take at least two when you can but never less than one ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 No, some Chimeras and Wyverns are always a good addition. Good models to work on too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Welcome to the barracks. Like the look of your scheme. You can't go wrong with artillery got a wyvern. Look forward to seeing more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Welcome. You'll find that the tents leak, and the bedrolls are lumpy, and the showers are always cold, but you'll not find a better group on the B&C. Just don't cross the Commissariat and you'll be fine. By the by, I like the name. I take it you're a Full Metal Panic! fan? Also, that's excellent work on those models. I look forward to seeing more from you.

Urzu4 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Yes Lt. Hummer haha, (hes why i was a filthy xeno scum playing tau at the start). FMP was my first anime and i've been a mech fanboy ever since. But I have seen the errors in my ways, and now purge the xeno's in his holy name. Plus i've seen the imperial mech, which I may have to purchase eventually (I still love mechs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I also love my Mecha. I also have an army of the filthy fish people, and like their aesthetic, but IG is really where I belong. Now that I have an Airbrush, I will probably catch up on my backlogged tau army, but my Space wolves come before that, since I need to spend some time on them making them look good.

Urzu4 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 thats alot of armies! I will start a WIP thread once i get my fluff sorted. I love how you guys do the campaign and the WIP threads its a good way to keep motivated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 You don't know the half of it. I have Imperial Guard, Space Wolves, Tau, Necrons, Dark Angels, and some unbuilt Orks. I have played everything except 'nids, orks, and chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RADU LYKAN Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Regarding your ex guevesa not getting purged on returning to the emperors light, maybe he only infiltrated the ranks of the guevesa on the orders of the inquisition? Rose to power and then when the time was right he engineered the recovery of 3 systems back into the imperial fold? This gives him extensive knowledge of xenos for preferred enemy wargear and also a reason for inquisitorial allies as and when you want them?

Urzu4 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 That's actually a great idea radu. I might have to steal your back story if you don't mind haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The correct term is "be inspired by" Urzu ;) Generally speaking you can't go wrong including an Inquisitor in the mix, they cause all sorts of mischief that lets you "bend" rules :P Not to mention a great excuse to add some Inquisitorial elements with their huge modelling and conversion potential :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urzu4 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 I've been toying around with the idea of inquisition or a librarian conclave. I'm liking the idea of 2 or 3 30 man squads with some spell support and artillery to back them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snazzyninja Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Artillery wise the emperor's wrath formation from the Mont'ka book seems pretty decent but I haven't actually used it in a game yet. Maybe someone who has actually used it can vouch for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urzu4 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 I saw that. Everyone mentions taking a relic stick with it but I'm not sure what they are Talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snazzyninja Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Just done a quick search for relics from the mont'ka campaign and I think they were on about this maybe? Volkov's cane: Counts as power maul but without strength bonus. However you're not taking it for melee potential, you're taking it for the fact if the officer Is giving an order within 6 inches anything but a double 6 will pass. I'd say that's probably the one because the combination of the artillery formation, giving orders and pretty much auto passing them is pretty good.
