Hi guys! My name is Colby. I'm new to the hobby as a whole, and to top it all off, i am also a first time painter. I love the guard. Yes, the badass super soldiers of the 41st Millennium are all in all amazing, it's the guard that catches my eye. The normal humans like myself just given a lasgun and a inspiring speech from his priest doing his/her best to fight off the horrors? Now that's a bravery everyone can strive too! I'm based out of Nappanee area, so my ability to make it to games depends on my schedule, i would love to meet some of you guys to start learning the system (i have a Start collecting army, core book, and codex, dice and tape measure.) so i have everything i need 
(Here are the boys i've painted so far, no bully plz  )

Welcome Colby! The painting looks great, guard are a good place to start with lots of cool models and time to build up before your new codex!

Welcome Colby! The painting looks great, guard are a good place to start with lots of cool models and time to build up before your new codex! I'm excited to assemble and paint sentinels I'm still unsure what type of army i want to build. My ininal idea for the army was a army that used cleansing flame, mostly to burn ork spores. Like a ork clearing team, but i was told flamers are quite weak, so now i'm just sticking what looks cool into a army haha. I'm sticking with cadia, maybe kitbash some models? Look at old lore and make a regiment off? So many possibility's, so little money! |

Welcome! I'm a firm believer (especially with your first army) to build, paint and play whatever strikes you as fun. You can worry about what is "best" later (if you even want to ever build an army that way) so if in your head your intrepid guardsmen bring the cleansing flames of the emperor to the ork hordes... go for it! We're a pretty friendly community here, so whenever you're looking to get some games in, even if you don't have very many points, we're here to help! And great job on your first painting! it can be daunting at first, but just jump in and get paint on models. You'll have your million guardsmen painted in no time |

Welcome to the community!
I like you camo paint scheme.
And i like your concept of burning orks. The galaxy needs more toasted Orks.
Look forward to seeing you around

Maybe a 2 special weapon squads with flamers, along with armored flamer support... i might redo my army ideas now. Personally, i'm based in Nappanee area, finding a game would be sick, but most likely won't have time for it.  The Nexus, where i bought my paints was telling me there is games going on every Saturday. I prefer a more local game if possible, but eh. That's life. |

Welcome fellow Guard player! I too play guard and have been for awhile now. I always bring my Guard to tournaments and have a blast. I have never played against another Guard army before so maybe now is my chance. Anyways, if you want to theory craft and talk Guard I've got just about every unit, except manticores.

You know he’s a real guard player when he chooses Deathstrikes over Manticores. 😁 |

(changes to the firing system) A missle is fine, but arty is supreme. |
