I wasn't really into Imperial Guard until the advent of Epic: Armageddon. Like most Imperial players during the "Space Marine" era, if I needed infantry, I took marines; if I needed artillery or super heavies, I took guard. In those days, they could be fielded alongside each other with no problem, but in retrospect that allowed for a lot of min/max-ing an army, so its probably better off the way it is in the new edition, though I wouldn't mind seeing some rules for allowing allies coming from the 1/3 allowance from various support that most lists have. In any case, the terrain I'm making is themed around Forge World Mars, and I use Woodland Scenics "Iron Ore" ballast from the local railroad hobby shop as turf, giving the surface a nice reddish color! So naturally, my Imperial Guard are going to be decked out in reddish camo and overcoats. Sadly, the reddish turf idea doesn't really work well as a turf for the figures since only occasionally will I be fighting on my home turf, usually on a "standard" green mat - so I'm basing the guard with some fairly neutral brownish bases. All vehicles will be based. (eventually!) I hope you like the figures. I'm not good at naming, so if you can think of an appropriate name for a Forge World regiment, let me know!
