How to make a paratrooper for a valk/vendetta

So as promised a quick tutorial. What you need for this is a metal coat hanger (although metal piping or rod will do too), glue (I used the gw superglue), a saw/good knife and a guardsman (or if you have a valkyrie/vendetta one of the gunners is perfect).

Salamanders vs Imperial Guard 10/07/11

Ilya brought along his Salamanders and I was more than happy to try out my reinforced guard against them! Mission we rolled for was Capture and Control, dawn of war deployment.

Magnetised Valkyrie/Vendetta 1 + some tips and tutorials

I have been busy researching and building the first of my valkyries. Pretty much everything has been magnetised and I'm just back from spraying it. Now today I have to build the vendetta and hopefully get some paint on at least one of these.

The finished thing

Imperial Guard Army List 1500pts

Edited 9/07/11 because of missed calculations

See link at the bottom... :D

So, I'm on holiday now and will leave the space hulk termies as they are for the comp. On the bright side this means that there will be some real content coming up on this blog - battle reports. I will probably play Paul this week and should have a game against Ilya this weekend. Now onto what this post is really about.

I have put together an army list, please note this is using stuff I have and mostly have built. I have actually constructed everything in this list apart from one meltagunner and the two valks. I still need to paint pretty much all of it though apart from the hellhound and three russes. (the infantry are mostly basecoated however). Note hb means heavy bolter. Also I plan to magnetise the valk and vendetta - they will probably both run as valks with hellstrike missiles in the next few games.

Lord Commissar	80pts	power sword
Primaris Psyker	70pts
Veteran Squad	130pts	plasma gun, flamer, nade launcher, power sword,  demolitions
Platoon Command Squad	115pts	2 melta guns, standard, plasma pistol, power sword and medi-pack
Infantry Squad 1	120pts	flamer, commissar power sword, heavy weapons team with ml
Infantry Squad 2	70	pts nade launcher heavy weapons team with ml
Infantry Squad 3	65pts	nade launcher, heavy weapons team with ml
Hellhound	130	hb
Valkyrie	110	hellstrike missiles, multi-laser, heavy bolters
Vendetta	130	triple lascannon
Leman Russ Executioner	230	hb and plasma cannons
Leman Russ Eradicator Nova	160	heavy bolter
Leman Russ Vanquisher	170	lascannon
Total	1500	pts
Tactics: Lord Com joins with platoon command(ride in vendetta_ or pos infantry squad. Infantry squads blob up to protect tanks/counter charge. Russes take out massed infantry with hellhound. Banquisher and flyers take out enemy armour (helped by blobbed infantry and other stuff). Vet squad rides in valkyrie taking out assorted targets. Psyker runs as a distraction/joins infantry squads in the rare that they are not blobbed up or just joins the blob. Also I found a very good website and someone called Ailaros while surfing the interwebz, go check him out. the picture up top is credited to him!

Apology for inactivity

So sorry about not having much posted lately, but I have fallen ill and thus have been unable to do anything.
