When I was a teenager, I started collecting a Valhallan Imperial Guard army for Warhammer 40k. Unfortunately, between the limited range of models available and my equally limited funds, my collection never grew much beyond a couple of squads of infantry and a single tank.
Fast forward to today, and I’m seriously considering diving back into the mass forces of mankind with a new Imperial Guard/Astra Militarum army. Not only are the new plastic Cadian models amazing, I’ve recently come across a couple of amazing armies that have reignited my passion and given me plenty of inspiration for this new project.
Firstly, for months I’ve had my eyes on Ed Maxwell’s incredible Krieg army. He takes his world building and army structure very seriously. I’m going to lean very heavily on this side of his army for inspiration.
And the second account that’s really caught my eye is Jaymis Horsey. He’s an outstanding painter and his Cadian colour scheme has really caught my eye. I think I’m going to look at a colour scheme very similar (but probably no where near as good!) as what he’s done. Here’s one of his posts showing off his amazing infantry…
