I bought Evan's Imperial Guard stuff from him. My army expands.

I bought my friend Evan's IG collection. It's added almost half again my original numbers.

I have taken and posted some pictures. Please enjoy. If a further sense of scale is needed, that's all laid out on a 4x4 table.

Creed/Kell Company Command Squad with all advisors and bodyguards

Straken Company Command Squad with two bodyguards

Lord Commissar

6 Commissars

1 Priest

2 Standard Bearers

3 Squads of Stormtroopers (28 troops)

5 Ratlings

Guardsman Marbo

7 Platoon Command Squads (35 troops)

16 Fully equipped line squads (160 troops)

55 Extra Troopers (Conscripts, or combine with unused elements of Platoon Hqs to make Veteran Squads.

9 Autocannon Teams

6 Lascannon Teams

6 Heavy Bolter teams

6 Mortar Teams

3 Missile Launcher teams

1 Sentinel

3 Chimeras

9 Leman Russ Tanks (4 Vanilla Russ, 3 Plasma Executioners, 2 Demolisher (only one pictured))

1 Basilisk

Grand Total Time: 9 Command Squads, 7 Commissars, 28 Stormtroopers, 215 Infantrymen, 30 heavy weapon teams, 3 chimeras, 9 Leman Russes, a sentinel and a basilisk.

That's at least 1800 points of Heavy Support. (I HAVE 2000 pts, there's another demolisher I don't have sponsons on that wasn't in the picture.) Now I feel like I can REALLY take on Josh's traitor guard. The only problem I actually had against his list was pitting my (plasma armed) Executioner tanks against the Blood Pact's Main-line Battle Tanks, of which I originally only had 1. I now posses 4.

Musings on Flames of War- Really just List Buildling

I've been looking at playing late war Finns for Flames of War. The first list is a fairly straightforward infantry list, and the second is a... well, I decided to build a Finnish Armoured Company, because nobody else does. It strikes me as being a whole lot of fun to at least try out, and if all else fails, I'll have the models available to fill in the regimental and divisional support slots for Finnish Infantry lists.
