crimsondave Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I've got what I consider to be a adequate force of Imperial guard. I have everything in the codex other than all the Baneblade variants of which I have a Shadowsword and the regular Baneblade. I'm trying to get a Necron army going of which I have a good start but I can't quit buying IG! How did you "finish" your army or is it like smoking meth and you just keep buying until you die?

Venix Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 How did you "finish" your army or is it like smoking meth and you just keep buying until you die? Well I finished my first IG army a decade ago by selling it after getting bored to a tournament player. Then I got the bright idea to buy an infantry platoon and never painted it for whatever reason. It still sits in my box of shame. Maybe I'll just do contrast cadian 8th just to be done with them one day. Then I got the bright idea last year to heavily customize a slow grow 1980-2000 russian inspired army with AKs [autoguns] that I'm still working on that costs more and takes longer to finish than normal IG due to FW and 3rd party bits and scions convert to look like Kasrkin, most of the tanks also have LED search lights and are custom resin casts or upgrades, and I still have two more LR to build and paint and I'm waiting on a Crassus and some other stuff to "finish" my main list procurement wise initially. Plus some OOP fortifications. I'd like at least one of everything, and still have hopes to add an artillery company and 30 man platoons of several other known regiments so I don't get burned out by painting the same scheme a second army in a row, and perhaps force myself to structure purchases and list options by theme and playstyle for variety sake. (I have around 8-9k of Blood Ravens, but I'd like to hit 10k one day.) Save yourself, it's a trap! crimsondave 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363048-i-have-an-imperial-guard-problem/#findComment-5502113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Be aware, soldiers of the Imperial Guard! Heretics have been going around spreading seditious rumour of such things as "completed" and "finished" Guard armies. This is blasphemous heresy! All right thinking Guardsmen know there is no such thing. There is only service in His name in greater military might. If you discover anyone peddling the filthy lies of the alien report to the commissariat with information immediately. Together in faith and duty we can guard against such falsehoods. Be strong! Be safe! Trust in the Emperor and build up your forces for only in duty do we earn salvation. Only in death does duty end. When I die, I want my plastic mountain sent out with me in my longship...

Ldorte Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Well I've got news and better news. Your service to the guard never truly ends due to the fine array of equipment on offer. I started my guard army as a backup force to my Dark Angels. I no longer own a Dark Angels army but have over 5k of Guard now. Some of the armour is pictured below, I have since added quite a bit and don't plan to stop any time soon. The better news is that if you have purchased everything in the codex then you can dip your toes into the forgeworld line. First its an upgrade pack for your chimeras, then its a vanquisher turret for a Russ and soon you'll have plans for an entire cabinet of resin goodness.... So chin up, grab your lasgun and get back into the fight WarriorFish and crimsondave 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363048-i-have-an-imperial-guard-problem/#findComment-5502185 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Marshal Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) I started into Genestealer Cults purely on the basis of, "I have an excuse to expand my Guard, but now as a Xenos army!"
