Hi guys,

I'm raising an E:A: Imperial Guard army, with Bikes instead of Rough Riders and Robots instead of Ogryns.

Is there anything in the fluff about a world which perhaps would produce a more mechanical guard regiment as I've outlined above?

A suggestion would be Forge Worlds ie. Tech Guard. http://www.mustangsalling.dk/techguard.htm Here's what I'm doing in that direction.

Other than that I don't see any problem in saying it is a pretty standard regiment like the Cadians which is well equipped mechanically. Basing it on a forge world does hoowever present you with the opportunity to use lots and lots of veichles (Stormblades as Shadowswords, Executioners instead of normal Russes etc.)

Cheers! :)

Maybe one that has been in support of the Adeptus Mechanicus with their Regiment being impacted by that.  ???

Not sure if it is in the fluff, but it would make sense.

When I read something like " is this in the fluff?" I always think "don't know, but in case it isn't make it yourself" :) The galaxy is big containing thousands of sectors that contain hundreds of thousands of inhabited planets. If oiu want your whole guard to use matches as offensive weaponry I am sure there is a planet out there that just does that :D

So yes, your army can be a sound one. Sounds definitiviely fin to me! :D

Regards,

Xavi

PD: I am taking your ogryn/robot idea for my own army :cool:

I agree with your thought, however I also understand the desire to see if there is something already in the fluff.

I know that most of my ideas have already been done and thus if someone/something has already been developed that I can use with slight adjust me, I will.

Only when I do not find it then I make up my own story/fluff.

I know L4 would say to do what is best for me, well exploring the fluff first is fun and I like it.  :D

Back in the day (SM1), and we still use the SM1 templating system (TO&Es), the IG could have both Robots and Ogryn in Bn Spt Dets. ?I have a number of my Bns organized like this. Sentinels, Rough Riders, Thud Guns, mortars, etc. could also be added. ?Up to 4 dets per Bn. :D  That's the way they did it in the old days and that's the way we do it today !  :;):  That should be enough justification !  It's in the "fluff" history !  And Daf already said my tag line !   :laugh:

Of course, no one says it like you do.  :;):

But of course, even though I like trying to fit the offical fluff I do know I need to walk away from it sometimes and enjoy my game and army first.  :laugh:

I was just thinking, if they keep doing new editions etc, there will come a day when all veriations are covered by Fluff somewhere.  :p

If I can, I'll talk to my gaming buddy and post a pic of some of my TO&Es ... but I don't know if we have the technology ?   ??? :;):  I just like having the units arrayed on paper in front of me like a real OOB/TO&E !  I'm very old school !:D

Perhaps the dumb question of the year but exactly what does TO&E and OOB stand for? I understand it is about army organization but since I've never been in the army some of the abbrevations are lost on me :p  :;):

Cheers! :)

TO&E = Table of Organization and Equipment

OOB = Order of Battle

:D
