Elysians.
I love paratroopers, I love light vehicles, I love bullpups, I love Valkyries,...
But I still don't understand why they got a respirator on their sternum.

>>50409942

Good for you op, doing your part for the betterment of the board.

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with the Death Korps. Their book made me feel to much.

Catachans are cool and all, but not quite my cup of tea.

The Tanith are again cool, but I didn't care for those books too much when I tried reading them. Maybe I should give it another shot. Are there any other regiments of celts?

I honestly don't know much about cadians other than the whole fortress world thing.

Elysians seem cool in concept. I love paratroopers irl, but again I don't really know enough to be into them.

Vostroyans....me

Valhallans are cool.

Tl;dr I like all the guard, but I don't really know enough to have one I really love best.

>>50409942
The Cadians are undoubtedly the best Imperial Gaurdsmen ever. Yes, really! Thanks to the heritage of Cadia and their myriad heroic deeds, the Cadians are the exemplars of the Imperial Guard. With a few fringe exceptions who have severe mutations or stolid stubbornness, all Imperial Gaurd Regiments want to be like the Cadians and recognize Ursarkar Creed as their spiritual liege

>>50410509
Hoepfully GW decides to actualise the whole range.
It would probably the biggest endeavour possible with all the regiments already made, but it would do good to the IG I believe.
Modern plastic models would sell like hotcakes, just like the upcoming plastic TS and plastic all but confirmed SoB.

Mordians.

I don't even know what the Praetorians specialty is to be honest, apart from being British.

What 40k army is best to play in a blitzkrieg style?
I mean a highly mechanized infantry with air support (without the nazi part please)

>>50410568

Mhm. Exactly.

>>50410692
I would say Mordians, Praetorians are more of a light infantry

>>50410847
Well, as said above, there isn't much about them, and they don't even have official models. Combined with being a one trick pony (british colonial soldiers IN SPESS) makes it hard and not a very rewarding task to make an arly iut of them.

>>50410734
People say Steel Legion, but I think it's a Tallarn Desert Raiders specialty.

>>50410847
They were a big army in 2nd edition, like Mordians or Valhallans. They had one of the most successful battle reports in WD ever, the Battle of Glazer's River, against orks.
GW pushed other (newer?) armies afterwards, Vostroyans, Death Korps,...

To me it looks like the carapace of a stealer and the brighter green looks like a comical shape of a mouth, sorta. It also could be the dark shape of a man but it's not as fun.

>>50410590
Aw yisss... I kind came for glorious uniforms IN SPACEEE! when I decided for IG. But then I learned that they are like five times the cost and... kinda bailed out. Sad that even if any other regiment recives the plastic minis it's Krieg or Armageddon, or maybe Vostroyans, as there was moment they were shilling them hardly.

Sad, for the flavour of countles types of armies is one of the best themes of Space NKVD that IG was back in the day. Now they are even putting Catachans back into shadow of least flavourfull regiment.

>>50410992

Isn't tallarn hit and run desert boys though?

Tallarn are pure tanks. Steel legion are mechanised infantry through and through.

>>50409942
>Someone did another thread shitting on Catachans and subsequently admitted that he was a fan of them but resorted to shitposting to get replies, which I find kinda sad.

Typical Catachan behavior. Catachan itself is actually a lush and well-maintained paradise world, but they feel the need to overcompensate among manlier regiments from harsher worlds.

The Catachan Devil is actually a slow-moving vegan that was genetically engineered to collect lost children and return them to their parents.

Same.
Dammit I wish Forgeworld updated the Krieg to have a decurion like Catachan's have now. Cavalry over Ogryns, hardened guardsmen over psykers, and a bazillion artillery pieces...
Sadly, Krieg are only cool, other regiments are much better, and Chenkov does the same they do. But who cares? W W a e s t h e t i c

catachans seem like a bad deal
they get the same flashlights as any ig but eat 3 times as much and mush more likely to drop said flashlight and charge the enemy with a fukken rambo knife. which again is not how the guard operates and very inefficient.

But we will never have this customization again. Never ever. No more. Gone. Won't come back. Can't return. Not to be seen anymore.
This is the age of Formations, and GW can't have you customizing your minis with Emprah-knows what kind of third party.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEyrg0WU5Ao

>>50420682
Restricted troops wasn't a good design though. It was basically allowing you to restrict the use of units you would never take anyway against bonus.
Same thing with the "sacrifice a Fast Attack/Heavy Support/elite choice to gain an additional FA/HS/elite" idea.

And to be honest, a lot of customisation was more an illusion of customisation than actual customisation.

But they were still a space for it, and improving it would have been much better than getting rid of it.
