All Crewed Up

These are the now unobtainable ( I believe) crew for the Imperial Guard.

I love the tank crew models. I believe there were rules for them as well at one point. If the Leman Russ took certain hits the crew could leg it and escape.

I also keep an eye out for the Valhallan models where they sit across the tank, much like what happened in WWII. I think GW missed a trick not producing crew and models to go on and around vehicles for all the different regiments. I think a lot of gamers and modellers would have snapped them up.

Imperial Guardsmen - Armoured Company

I have collected a fair few footsloggers over the year years... as well as a pretty large collection of tanks Some of the ones below are the ones I have bought prepainted (or were painted a long time ago)

I have actually painted more guardsmen in the last couple of years than in all the twenty years previous to that... quite simply my painting was awful when I was younger... now if you squint really hard in a dark room it does not look too sore. I have actually done a few tanks since I collected the above lot... all painted up in a similar scheme... including heavily modified Salamander Command Vehicle. Watch this space while I dig out the pictures.
