Not an army unit selection thread, but one on the theme/background and colour scheme (including the all important tank camo!) of your Imperial Guard forces. I'm building up on the real dog soldiers of the Imperium in anticipation of the upcoming release of Armageddon.
I've gone for a balanced force that represent the XIII Orion regiment. Lots of infantry, plus a fair amount of artillery, armour and super heavies. Orion is a standard industrialised world, filled with sprawling urban areas and their agri-based hinterlands (no hive scum here
!) Units of Ultramarines, Imperial Navy fliers and Titans may well seconded to the Orion formation when on active duty. A newly raised Imperial Guard regiment that some considered to be an unlucky inheritor of the 13th designation, they went into their first blooding with a heavy burden to dispell. This new Orion force however have proved their doubters wrong with a number of stirling encounters in their initial baptism of fire against Orkoid system encroachment and are now waiting to be shipped off to the Armaggon warzone ready to (hopefully) establish their repuation as one of the illustrious Guard battleforces. Colour scheme is generally a light grey for troopers and (goblin) green and (codex) grey bands on most of the vehicles. Should work in most standard urban/wild battlezones.
All my IG Regiments are numbered after units I served in ...
