While trying to make some order out of the mess of confusion that my Imperial Army has become I have been taking stock of what I have and what I need by setting it all out. However, after half the table was covered (picture to follow) and I had still to place the other half of the infantry, vehicles and any Titans, I needed a break.

After reading some of the Guants Ghost books I found that I really liked the Doctors character in the stories. Ever since then I have wanted to do a Doctor for my own IG and now I have. It's not painted yet and the glue is still wet but here it is...

Looks great. I am really looking forward to seeing the two stands painted.

Thanks guys!    Are you like me, ( !?!) ...No, no, I mean, when you get an idea in your head it just hangs around until you have to do something about it. This one has been buzzing about since before Christmas.

Hmmm, Hot-Lips... say, that's not bad. Might as well go the whole hog. I can convert another Eldar into a Sister Hospitilar... Cheers, Malakai.

Painting. The Guard Orderlies and Corpsmen in their unit colours and for the Medics I was thinking maybe... em... white coveralls? Suitably blood splattered of course.

Well spotted L4, Yup, the Doc has been taking lessons from a MadDoc when he had been Captured by Orks...
"Lie still son, it's gotta' come off. You may want to scream a bit though 'cause this is gonna' hurt!"
...What, do you think the Chainsaws too much?..

Now. All I need are suitable minis for MedEvac's and a field hospital and more orderlies and stuff.

Make some field tents aka "the Swamp".

That's exactly what I had in mind too. Any ideas where I would get good plasticard here? I've never used it before.

And here is the pictures I promised. I never believed it when people say things like sorry but my cameras batteries died on me while I was taking photo's... that is until it just happened to me just now. So you're only getting the two pics for now.





I have a nagging feeling I may have collected more than my fair share of Epic. But for those out there who are struggling to collect their own army all I can say is, get it up yah!    I had to save and hunt and spend and bargain and trade and barter and haggle and save some more to get this little lot. Just shows it can be done though.

Gahh! You should sell some of that stuff and buy more things from me.

Holy Moly Warhead!

I'm starting to work with plasticard for the first time and I have to admit my respect for the guys who do it well and make it look effortless has really increased.

It's not easy to work with, it's a real pain in the rear. I would suggest going another route. Especially considering you want the tents to look like they have a little "slack" or "give" in them. Plasticard is way too frickin rigid.

Since you're in the UK I believe a lot of people go through Slater's Plastikard for theirs.

Very creative, Warhead.

Cheers, guys... you do all realise this lot is only most but not all of my Imperial Guard stuff. I have lots more... I feel soooo ashamed. I should be experimented on for scientific progress. Yes, Otterman. I'm am gearing up to do something like that at present... or I could just keep my stuff and buy/add your stuff to what I have.

If Primarch is going ahead with the 100K battles as talked about on other threads. I want in on it.

Thanks, Malakai. I'll need the plasticard for other things. Thanks for the link. Yeah, the tents might be better made using a frame and real cloth somehow... hmmm. I could always make a hospital ward like in Zulu for a city fight... or both...  especially since I want to do some city terrain and a city wall.

Given that it usually takes three companies plus additional support units to make one Battalion and three Battalions again with additional support elements attached to make a Regiment... I think I may just be bordering on a Demi-Division, Hey, I like to pick and choose. Using NetEpic and some personal organisational houserules: In Companies and Warmachines alone, not counting the loads of support card and special card units I have...

8x Rifle Companies (I had nine but traded one to Bro Capt P)
2x Tech Guard Infantry Companies (E40K Greatcoat Infantry)
2x Tech Guard Assault Jetpack Company (EW Jetpack Troops)
4x Heavy Weapons Companies
2x Infantry AT Rocket Companies
1x Mixed Infantry Support Company (EW Support Company)
2x AT Companies
2x Infantry Field Artillery Companies
2x Bike Companies
2x Sentinel Recon Companies
1x Light Cavalry Recon Company
2x Heavy Cavalry Companies
2x Mechanised Rifle Companies (c/w E40K Catachan look-a-likes)
2x Mechanised Heavy Weapons Companies (All Chimera Variants in each)
2x Mechanised Gorgon Assault Companies (c/w SM IG Assault Jetpack Troops)
1x Tunneller Mole Rifle Company c/w Veteran Rifle Company
3x Leman Russ MBT Companies (2x new 1x old types)
1x Vanquisher Tank Destroyer Company
1x Thunderer Assault Gun Company
2x Mechanised Rocket Companies
2x Mechanised Heavy Rocket Companies
1x Earth Shaker Artillery Company (Immobile)
1x Heavy Siege Gun Company (Immobile)
2x Mechanised Artillery Companies
1x Mechanised Artillery Company (Enclosed Basilisks/Medusa)
1x Mechanised Mortar Company
2x Mechanised Anti-Aircraft Company (Hydras)
10x Superheavy Tank Companies (of various types, about 2 of each type)
2x Knight Errant Households
2x Knight Lancer Households
4x Knight Paladin Households
2x Knight Castellan Squads
2x Knight Crusader Squads
2x Knight Barons
6x Leviathan
6x Ordinatus
2x Capitol Imperialis
10x Warhound Scout Titan Packs (+1 Legendary Commander Scout Titan)
3x Reaver Titan Battle Groups
5x Warlord Titan Battle Groups
2x Imperitor Titans (+1 other, gone over to Chaos)
2x Bomber Airwings
1x Fighter Airwing
1x Valkyrie/Vulture Hunter Airwing

I've guestimated it all to be well over the 100K mark. Maybe up to 150K? Not all of it is shown in the picture either. My Sisters of battle are in this picture though. Confused? I know I am. I almost have enough troops left over for the Arbiter Precinct I want to do, too.

I'm sorry if this is pure boasting indulgence but I don't get many opportunities and I want you to know I can prove most of what I boast. Besides, I got some bad news from my work with regards my eyes so this is good therapy.
