Nice Cardinal..

If I do another 40k army it will be IG too.. Cadians with some of these guys just 'cause they're cool.

that little house gets a workout…

It's an authentic 40,000 AD building, complete with shrine to the Emporer and "Burn the Heretic!" decor.

and if you walk around the other side there's an 88 in the courtyard…

people offer to buy the house…I am giving the Chateau a break..actually the Steel legion look like they would be right at home with the backyard furniture..

Word, I am working on some plastic Cadians with Secrets of the third Reich, Westwind Production, German head in Gasmask..the Steel Legion owner wants first refusal on them..I have to get away from the German thing, actually I have a lot of vostoyan that have an 18th century Russian thing about them…I am too much the historical gamer..

Nice look – I did a bunch of IG for WH 40K and adopted a similar DPM look – they were the plastic Cadians, and I just don't like the helmet, so I trimmed them down and scratch-built a bunch of US Army style Fritz helmets

I agree about being a historical gamer – a couple of guys in the group are WH40K fanatics, and for me the Imperial Guard is about as far as I can go – at least they have tanks and APCs

I don't play 40k anymore , the rules are very offputting..
