Hey /tg/, /K/ommando here, been thinking of getting into 40k as Imperial guard and got a great idea. I wan't to start a guard regiment based off the Baathist Military forces of Saddam, Assad, and Gaddafi, with a attachment of Tempestus Scions based on Russian advisers like the Spetsnaz.

I though don't know how I would go about getting the right parts to make it, I thought Tallarn looked to much like Beduins and not organized looking enough to replicate their armies. I was thinking some Mix of Cadian and Tallarn parts, though not sure if I could find better parts somewhere else.

Would involve a lot of time and effort to get the right feel like Arabic or random moonrunes on sides of Bane-blades and Leman Russ tanks. Valkyries and Vendettas would be modified to look like Mi series Hinds.

The Regiment would also be heavily Mechanized with Significant Armour support either on the field or in reserve.

Your basic troops are Conscripts, then. Elite troops (Tiger Forces, Republican Guard, Hezzie) are the Guardsmen.

What you first have to consider is that all those arab forces are/were utter and unsalvagable shit. There is literally nothing good to say about them, even their supposedly elite units are subpar in every respect.

I guess you should use the 30k Militia rules, they are a lot better for representing such lack of quality (you can have BS2 tanks and such). Also, forget commissars, priests, and such. Your dudes should run off the table frequently and you should lose by rout more than from actually suffering casualties.
>>
Just some advice, youll find it very difficult to get tallarn nowadays.

Also I think baathist military forces should be served well in 40k with lots of commissars. More paranoid about loyalty rather than combat effectiveness.

At their paper best they followed as you probably know, alot of russian doctrine. So tanks, mechanized infantry, etc... Surround your more elite forces with conscripts representing local arab militias and NDF type units.
>>
>>52911295
I agree and understand that. I never said I wasn't prepared to take hits due to my choice of forces.

>>52911355
You think I should use cadian models but paint them brown and try to get a lot of faces with beards then? Maybe some catachan heads for some of them too since a lot of bandannas and caps.

Also dumping some images of exact uniforms real quick.

Check Aeronautica stuff. You'd probably like Vultures (which are basically 40k gunships). Stormtroopers on Vendettas/Valks are also a neat way to do Russians.
By the way, Scions box has a shitton of heads in berets which would work nice on default cadians.

I would also recommend the fantasy flagellants for bearded faces/close combat weapons and Catachans for bandanas / torsos without armour.

Take 1 company command squad, give them camo cloaks and 4 sniper rifles.
Ejoy your cloaked vets with a senior officer that can issue amazing orders that allow your snipers to ignore enemy cover, give them monster hunter etc. Seems pretty Hezbollah to me.

Thanks any specific Gunship that would work like the Hind? Again i'm new, though the Hind is both a transport and a Attack helicopter that is great at killing tanks with Rockets, and ATGMs while the 30mm tears up infantry. Anything like that? Here is a pic incase you don't know?

So why don't you look into Team Yankee, a 15mm game where you can actually have Mi24 Hinds fight M1A1 tanks and Bradley AFV's with TOW missiles and shit like that?

No rotor wing aircraft but it sounds pretty much like the Valkyrie to me buddy. Gunship with troop carrying capacity.

Just so you know, we're about to see a big rules revamp in about a month or two, so if you want to start modelling these guys I would hold off any big vehicles purchases until you know what's good. Maybe start with a squad.

Because i'm actually in the military and don't need to play a game to scratch that itch. Though I don't get to command Regiments against Demons, Traitors, Xenos and such though, and the diffrence between them and Iraq, and Russia is the W40k enemies are actually fucking outrageously evil. Though you did catch my interest and i'll look into it. How are the rules for nations like Iraq, Syria, and Libya and say fighting against the US 2nd Armored Division? Also East Germany always been a fan of them.
>>
>>52915903
>Thanks any specific Gunship that would work like the Hind?
Basically, by default you have two flyers: Valkyrie (your flying APC, closest thing to Hinds you can get, it has a multilaser to deal with infantry and can carry rocket pods) and Vendetta (modification with limited cargo capacity and anti-tank retrofit).
Vulture is a Forge World model that is closer to Mi-28. It has a heavy bolter turret and a shitton of retrofits from AT missiles and rocket pods to a fucking twin-linked gattling cannon to ensure full annihilation of anything that has 4 limbs. Pic related.

Fair enough.

You'd probably want to use the USSR rules to represent Iraq, Syria, and Libya fighting against the US 2nd Armored, because that is most likely who would be supplying the munitions in that case.

East Germany has their own specific force for Team Yankee.

You could also put together something for the Israel - Arabic conflict.

The fact that your hatred of a game consumes enough to actively seek out discussions of that game for the sole purpose of bitching DOES kind of point to you not having a lot going on in life other than anger.

Ok, so for one thing you need to exaggerate some aspects of these dudes if you want them to look good on the table. So i'd seriously look at using those beret heads for every trooper, along with catachan torsos and legs, alternativly space marine scout legs look a little more tactical. You dont want the cadian legs, they have the bottom of the tunic on them. Also the genestealers have arms which arnt as muscled as the catachans. They also have autoguns which look kinda metal. Though you could probably use lasguns from the catachans too.

However getting the bits for all of these is going to cost quite a lot of money.
