GRIMDARK HHNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

It seems I'm back on a Warhammer 40k bent.

I did the lines for this late last year and only today got around to coloring it. One of my 40k story ideas involves a guerrilla war raging through the lower levels of an upscale hive-city. For this, I wanted an Imperial Guard regiment dedicated to city-fighting.

These guys are typically armed with a snub-las repeater. It's got adequate medium-range accuracy when set to single-fire mode. In auto-fire mode its accuracy is horrid, but it's able to absolutely fill a confined space with las-fire, and when sweeping through alleyways and clearing buildings, that's a must-have feature.

On top of their standard fatigues and soft armor, they wear a series of ballistic plates, shaped specifically to deflect solid projectiles away from vital body parts. It's also capable of deflecting at least some of the force of las-rounds, but it can still be burned through if a las-round hits it square-on.

Also, does anyone have a name for the planet these guys come from? They still need a name.

The color names I've got here correspond to GW's current line of paints.

Warhammer 40,000, paint names belong to Games Workshop

Cool design for using only jagged plating but erm... is it me or do the chest plates have the wrong angle based off the direction the body is supposed to be facing?

I see what your saying, but it's an optical illusion; the shape would be more clear had I shaded this. The flanges on the sides of the chestplate jut forward.

The Imperium needs more of these.
I wonder what other Las guns you could create?

Cool, but looks too high tech for IG. Their armour is supposed to be made out of cardboard and wishful thinking, not awsumatanium.

And what has the Adeptus Mechanicus to say about this? Frakkin' Cogboys...

Interestingly enough, I have some sketches for a IG mountain regiment concept, with a telescoping-stock lasgun, the idea being that they specialized in very topografically broken terrain. It isn't a SMG analog like this though, more akin to the M1 carbine or the modern M4, but this reminds me of it...

great style for IG :) and good work, even if i prefer without the gasmask (to be franc i don't like it :s)

just an objection : the angular style are realy cool but the protectiv pads on knees are a little too angular :p imagine to kneel down with it : it would be unconfortable (in my mind).

just a question : when will you make some figurines of this regiment? :3

for the name of the planet... Zarentia... but i'm not really good to find names :p

It has the feel of some of the future armors being tested by the military. My compliments!
