I don't play astra militarium, I play death guard. But I'm making a board for my brother and I to play on. It's death guard versus Astra militarium themed. This is one of the new trench tiles I made. I borrowed some of my brother's models to stage in it.

Test model for Penal Guard (late WIP)

(Full Guard Collection showcase). Been painting since the late 90s when Goblin Green was still in fashion. Most of the Regiments have some representation, about 70% of the infantry are orignals and metal, some prints, some 3rd party, about 40% of the armour is.

Really I just love the regiments. Mostly play in 3rd edition so have very little need for the new stuff.

If your interested in the Regiments Fluff, its below.

And thanks for having a look.

The Fluff:

The 87th Remnants, formed from the surviving defenders of Forge World Rhineforte from a splinter fleet of Hive Fleet Jörmungandr.

Where once grand regiments stood, mere companies or platoons remained. Often lead by officers of higher rank who in turn now commanded some of the toughest Guardsmen in the solar segmentum.

In their wisdom the Administratum decided to grant the highest surviving Officer on the Planet (General Sven Von Svenesson) as overall commander of these ragged forces. Ordered him to arraned what he could into a combined arms Regiment and granted his forces settlement rights over the ruins of Forge World Rhineforte and the surrounding solar system.

General Sven has combined units where he can, slowly forming his forces into something resembling a functional army, known on offical Records as the Rhineforte 87th, though known amongst the men and local populous as the 87th Remnants.

The Regiment boosts Artillary Companies, an Armoured Company, a Recon Company and many infantry Companies.

The Regiment has an above average number of Commissars, Priests and Psykers. Mostly this is due to the marginally lower attrition rate of command officers when taken in context to the loss of manpower. Though the 87th Rhineforte have built up a reputation for excellence in the surrounding systems and as such newly promoted Commissars are sent the the ranks for some addtional training amongst such talented troops.

Scattered across the Planet and in the various orbital stations and moons across the Rhineforte Solar System, the Regiment has entrenched itself firmly within the Rhineforte planetary Hierarchy and local PDF.

Often one company of the Remnants will work alongside PDF forces and can be instrumental in turning the tide of a conflict.

Hello! Does anyone know where I could possibly find these models? They look like they have some absolutely brilliant kitbash potential but I can’t seem to find them anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I built a 1/35 aircraft carrier section for a client a while back and had, left over, this turret. Its a Mk38 Close-In Ship Self Defense Turret. Swapped the barrel from a leftover autocannon. Plonked it on a Chimera hull that was already modifed with some "BMP" aftermarket parts from a maker i cant for the life of me remember the name of.

Just the one title, looking for inspiration

Please let me know your thoughts… this is a test model for a commission service

We interviewed Sgt Arrowood and got to hear the story leading up to this.

I finally finished the interior of my shadowsword conversion.
