Uploading the file now. It should become available from this link shortly.

http://www.mustangsalling.dk/imperialguard20091219.pdf

There's a couple of images still missing/ need replacing (And some needs a bit of tinkering as there's a white line around them). Also some text needs a bit of rearranging, but I'd rather wait with that untill the text itself has been checked for errors. This is another book that was originally started some years ago, so please have a good look at the unit stat and army card tables at the end as it is very likely some changes have been made. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it is still quicker to update the old tables rather than reformatting the updated ones.

I'd be very interested in pictures of the following models:

IG Rapier Laser Destroyer
Cyborgs
Warriors
Zulu AA Battery
Scorpion AA tank

I got some usable proxies, but if better pictures/models are available I'd like to use them instead.

If possible it would be nice to have the proofreading done in the next couple of days: I figure it'd be a nice Christmas Pressie to have the IG nd Chaos army books completely done for Christmas.  :p

Enjoy  :smile:

Yes, it does suck, big time. I anticipate not finding another job for a few months, but I'll be okay.

Okie doke, here we go:

Page 3, Paragraph 2:
Quote: 

Even though these forces might number several million troops, this is not sufficient to withstand a full-scale planetary assault,;however, but it is plenty to defend against localized attacks and raiders.

Add the underlined bits, delete the bolded ones. Adding the comma is a more required than the rest, which is personal preference.

Page 3, Paragraph 3:
Quote: 

If he is satisfied with the quality of the troops he will select whole divisions into the Imperial Guard.

Swap the bold word for "induct".

Page 3, Paragraph 3:
Quote: 

None of the troops ever return home, as the cost of
moving large numbers of men across the galaxy is simply too great.

Add the comma where underlined.

Page 4, Paragraph 2:
Quote: 

Old warriors become the founding members of a hard-bitten aristocracy, while regimental commanders become the first of the ruling class.

Add the comma where underlined.

Page 4, Imperial Record quotation:
Quote: 

A commander who places his troops in a position where he may likely lose more than he may more likely gain risks far more than the lives of his men. He risks far more; he risks failure. Loss is acceptable, failure is not.

Delete the bolded bits, add the underlined, and capitalize the italicized.

Page 5, Paragraph 1:
Quote: 

Every detachment has an SHQ even though it’s not specifically stated in the army list.

Delete the n in "an" prior to SHQ. Follow suit throughout the paragraph, as it happens again two sentences later.

Page 5, How The Chain of Command Works Paragraph 1:
Quote: 

Units that are outside the chain receive no orders, and may not move, but may fire in the Advance Fire phase.

Delete the bolded comma, add the underlined word and comma.

Page 8, Assassins Paragraph 1:
Quote: 

As they may not be destroyed in the usual manner the opponent is awarded one Victory Point when the card is used, even if the action is unsuccessful.

Add the underlined bit to "award".

Page 8, Assassins Paragraph 3:
Quote: 

The Vindicare pops up from cover, strikes a righteous blow with his Exitus rifle, then fades into the underbrush once again.

Add a comma after "Exitus rifle".

Page 9, Adeptus Psyker Paragraph 1:
Quote: 

They are HQ units, Psykers, and may use one of the following powers each turn:

Add a comma after Psykers in the passage above. The same thing happens in the first paragraph of the Astropaths entry.

Page 9, Astropath Cancellation Ability:
Quote: 

If the Astropath's total is higher, the ability fails.

Add an apostrophe where indicated.

Page 9, Astropath Guidance Ability:
Quote: 

There must be an Imperial unit within 25 cm of the Astropath that can see the target to be fired at, and the artillery detachment being sited for must be within 75 cm of the Astropath.

Replace the bolded word with "sighted". You could also replace all references to "sighting" to "spotting", which I would prefer.

Page 10, Inquisitor entry:
Quote: 

They are Command and HQ units, have a 4+ Psychic Save, and are immune to all forms of morale effects.

Add a comma where indicated.

That's all for now. I'll do more if I get time... it's my last couple weeks overseas and there's a lot of crazy packing going on! Really need to look over the Chaos book again, too, since I didn't get too deep into that one...

Page 10, Grey Knights entry:
Quote: 

The Grey Knights are a unique Space Marine Chapter that belongs to the Ordo-Malleus branch of the Inquisition, rather than to the Adeptus Astartes.

Delete the bolded 's'.

Page 10, Inquisitor entry:
Quote: 

These are the watchdogs of the Imperium, always on the alert to punish those that stay from Imperial Doctrine and destroy those tainted by Chaos. They are Command and HQ units, have a 4+ Psychic Save, and are immune to all forms of morale effects.

Swap the bold word for 'stray', add a comma where one is underlined.

Page 10, Ordo Malleus Inquisitor entry:
Quote: 

They are Command, Elite, and HQ units,

Add a comma where underlined. I believe these are called 'Oxford Commas' or something strange like that. They aren't particularly necessary in most cases, but when followed by another 'and' it looks, and reads, strangely without... at least for me!

Page 11, Colonel and Major entry:
Quote: 

Due to their superb tactical experience, they may change the orders of one Imperial Guard detachment that is within 25 cm, immediately after you activate it.

Delete the comma after "25 cm".

Page 12, Beastman entry:
Quote: 

Beastman:

I'd pluralize any non-character units with multiple models to a base. "Assault Infantry" works because infantry is a group, as opposed to infantryman, which is singular. On page 12 you'd need to pluralize Beastmen, Combat Engineers, and Hive Gangers. Cyborg Berserkers is already plural. This sort of thing would need modification throughout the entries following this page, as well.

Page 12, Hive Ganger entry:
Quote: 

The Gang Boss must be within 25 cm of all Hive Gang detachments in order to give them orders - they may not be given orders by any other CHQ unit. If the Gang Boss is killed roll D6 - on 1-4 the gang must make an immediate morale check or rout. , on a 5+ the gang explodes in a berserk fury to avenge the death of the Boss. All and all stands gain +1 to CAF for the rest of the game.

This one's messy. Same as always, though. Delete the bolded ones, add the underlined ones, capitalize the italicized.

Page 13, Human Bomb entry:
Quote: 

not only have they committed crimes, but in so doing they have betrayed the Emperor.

Add the underlined comma.

Page 13, Ogryn entry:
Quote: 

Although mainly Close Combat troops, they are armed with short-ranged, rapid-fire weapons. Devoted to the Emperor and willing

Add the underlined commas and 'the'.

Page 13, Ratling Sniper entry:
Quote: 

These are small humanoids that occupy some Imperial worlds, and they possess an uncanny skill with rifles as well as being able to act independently. They operate independently

Add the underlined comma and words where indicated. Also, I would delete the bolded section because it's totally redundant when sitting right next to a sentence that says the same thing in a 'special rules' context.

Page 13, Penal Trooper entry:
Quote: 

The collars are controlled by the officers and are detonated when discipline needs to be enforced., such as when a Penal Platoon fails a morale check, remove. Remove one stand and make the morale check again.

This is another rewording preference. It seems to flow better. Add the underlined, delete the bold, capitalize the italicized.

Page 14, Storm Troopers entry:
I would rewrite the Special Rules segment like this:
Quote: 

Storm Troopers have a number of special rules:
1) They receive a 6+ saving throw against barrage weapons. Ordinary direct fire weapons are not affected.
2) They are not bound by the Chain of Command rule.
3) All Storm Trooper infantry stands may act as Forward Observers for off-table barrages. They may only call up artillery attached to their own company, however.
4) All Storm Troopers are elite units.

Note that the proposed segment has a couple of minor modifications regardless, including the capitalization of Storm Trooper(s) throughout and a comma added after 'company' in section 3.
Also, capitalize 'troopers' in the paragraph immediately following the Special Rules segment.

Page 14, Warriors entry:
"in sight" scrolls one line too far so it is half obscured by the fancy camo background.

All infantry done! Tomorrow I plan to get through page 22 at least. While plotting this out, I noticed the Zulu AA battery is hanging out with the Vehicles. Why is it not in Heavy Artillery? Seems like someone maybe addressed this one already. Apologies if so.
