As most of you (should) know, I have rather a passion for the massed armour of the IG.
However, I have finally decided that painting my regiments in the style I started is:
a) not as pleasing to the sys as I once thought they were
b) Takes FAR too long for me to get a decent army ready for E:A's release.
SO, I'm going to put together a new army for E:A, painted fast & effective, with less detail but hopefully still decent gaming quality.
Luckily, my collections are large enough for me to be able to do this, and still have enough models to finish off my original regiments over the coming decades
My Problem - I'm totally indecisive as usual & would like some input.
My 4 options I've tried on really speedy (for me, in comparison to the old metho!) painting:
On the left we have a desert scheme. I'm VERY tempted by this as my current regiments are green, grey & White (Agri, city & tundra) so Desert is new. It also fits in well with Armageddon since a lot of the planet is sand covered. 2nd benefit is that I've decided to base my epic Demonhunters on a sand base so they'll have some support if I ever use them!
Next we have the simplest paint scheme of the lot. Codex Grey. Fast, effective, but rather boring. The plus side is that I've already got a LR company and a few support vehicles (tank transporters, trucks & recovery vehicles) painted like this as its how I was doing my reserve forces originally.
Then we have what is basically the same design, but with a camo added.
Then we have what is essentially Steel legion. That wasnt the intention when I paitnted it, I just wanted to try a lighter camo stripe that the previous version and it turned out like this. Downside for me is that it will be very similar to a lot of other armies, and I always like something different ?
So, opinions please!
This army will be painted fast, a bit like my Iyanden force was or some of my later 25 & 28mm armies, so no super-detailed ideas, but any other suggestions are warmly welcomed.
