Color scheme for Valhalla regiments. Fan book

[Grig]

Hello everyone, I am trying to put together a small reference book on Valhalla Ice Warriors.
I am interested in information about the color scheme of the regiments.
If anyone has information, please share it.
The codex has color scheme options, but it is not clear what kind of regiments they are, and what camouflage was used where - I am very interested in your opinions.
I am also interested in the banners, even if they are fan-made.
In this database
there are only a few regiments that were mentioned in the Codex and Fiction.
14 main regiments
1 light infantry regiment
2 mountain guards
2 artillery regiments
1 tank company
6 tank regiments
Is that all Valhalla had?

I heard that there were at least 2 guards regiments. What about the assault regiments?

In the codex of the 3rd reaction there is art showing guys in high fur hats with the number 1. At that time, "Vostroyans" had not yet been invented, so here is a Valhallan, probably a Valhallan grenadier or possibly a guardsman...
I understand that all this is speculation and fantasy, but the whole Warhammer is one big, well-written and logically constructed fantasy with details.

I really want to hear your options and opinions


I have a project, I am writing a version of a fan background on the Valhallan regiments, with illustrations and descriptions, I want to publish a book, quite a lot of work has been done.

If you haven't already, I would take a look at the ciaphas Cain novels as he spends a significant amount of time attached to valhallan units, most notably the 12th field artillery and the 597th mechanised (formed from the 296th and 301st infantry regiments). I am sure there are descriptions of the uniforms worn at various points. They also reference Lady General Sulla who is a junior valhallan officer in the 597th during his time with them which may be of interest to your book.

 

In terms of the units you have listed, there will be significantly more than that, those will just be the ones that have specifically appeared in writing. It's not possible to list the thousands of regiments from each planet that would actually exist and part of the joy of the background is the scope that gives to make your own units.

I never understood camouflage and the imperial guard

 

Thats the tactic of a coward

 

The 18th, tundra wolves commanded by chenkov is the most famous, thou of course little lore exists. 

 

Make whatever regiment and colour scheme you want.....

 

On your question about, 'is that all Valhalla had', well new regiments are created all the time, once per year* when the annual tithe draft comes around, then again when they are needed to be drafted on request by local ongoing warzones. 

 

*The tithe draft is not set in stone to be annually, its worked out per system, some systems like cadia and kreig have multiple tithe drafters per rotation.

I read all of this. And not only about him. Yes, there is some description there.
I would be interested in what kind of regiments are depicted in the codex.
Basically, you are right, of course, more field of activity, more space. BUT this is the Army and it should have a system ))))
so I want to organize this as best I can. Some will accept it, some will not. But it must be done

I think you're on a hiding to nothing here, honestly. There is very deliberately no complete information on most facets of the imperium, and Valhalla is going to be no different. The philosophy, often repeated by members of the GW studio team over more than three decades is that if you present a thing and say 'here is every fact about this' then you leave no room for the imagination. And GW are generally selling you your own imagination, as projected onto their toy soldiers. That's why there's only a couple of hundred 'officially recognised' marine chapters- i.e. ones that have been written about in GW publications. The undescribed remainder are supposed to be there for hobbyists to fill in with their homebrew stuff.

There's no comprehensive list of all the regiments from Valhalla, and there's not going to be, I don't think. You're just going to have to make up 99% of it.

This is understandable, but I would like to at least know what kind of shelves are depicted in the codex

Commander Chenkov was always one of my fav lore characters, not that there was much lore

 

Kubrik Chenkov - Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

 

Some of his famous victories include:

 

Chucking ten million guardsmen at a fortress, most of them died, but he won, he even got the merit of the high lords for such a quick victory 

 

Marching troops in parade ground formation thru a minefield to clear it!

 

and of course the infamous defeating hive fleet Jormungandr with only one million guys

 

Hero of the Imperium

more info on the wiki as well, the lord high commander of the taros campaign was a valhallan. 

 

But as to linking colour schemes to specific regiments there just zero lore on that. 

 

The majority will prob wear the standard artwork uniform, the unshanka hat with the grey overcoat
