I’m not a professional painter by any means, but I’ve had some requests on things I have experimented with. See my “Sunfury” Plasma Glow here for example.

Armageddon Steel Legion (not updated)

Armageddon is a hostile world of major strategic importance to the Imperium. They have dealt with no less then three major Ork invasions, the latter still an ongoing struggle to this day. The most legendary character to arise from these conflicts is Lord Commissar Sebastian Yarrick. Fueled by a pious hatred for the greenskin, he has made himself a legend amongst Ork and man alike.

Cadian Shock

Cadia is the centerpiece of the Imperial Guard regiments. The equivalent to the Ultramarines for the Space Marine legions. They are some of the best fighting troops in the Imperial Guard as well as some of the best funded. Despite the loss of the homeworld, they continue to serve the Imperium and are ready to retake their world. Leaders of reknown include Sergeant Bastogne, Lord Usarker Creed, and Colour Sergeant Kell.

Catachan Jungle Troopers

Catacha is a hostile jungle world. A world that literally reacts to the Catachan’s activities and seeks to eradicate both their soldiers and fortifications. Some believe it is a rogue Tyranid splinter still seeking to overcome the tough and cunning soldiers of Catacha. Many legends have arose from this world such as Colonel Iron Hand Straken, Sergeant Stone Tooth Harker, and the legendary Guardsman Marbo.

Death Korp of Krieg (not updated)

The Death Korp of Krieg nuked themselves to the brink of civilization during the Horus Heresy to prevent the traitor legions from taking over their world. After hundreds of years of fighting underground or in a nuclear wasteland, the loyalist emerged victorious and rejoined the Imperium. Marshall Karis Venner leads this force as the supreme commander.

Elysian Drop Troops

The Elysian’s specialize in fighting pirates in low gravity or dangerous insertions. Unlike your average guardsman, they are equipped with highly specialized gear and training for their risky assignments. A rather unusual Imperial Guard force, they utilize speed over armour support.

Mordian Iron Guard

The Mordians are a very poor world that frequently suffers from food shortages and inhuman living conditions. Half of the world is stuck in eternal night, the other in blazing hot eternal day. The Iron Guard are a ruthless police force that quells the frequent food riots. Using good old brutality they were able to push back a Daemon invasion unsupported by other auxiliary organizations.

Praetorian Guard

The Praetorian Guard are, like the Mordians, a disciplined rank and file style formation army. Their reknown comes from the Battle of Big Toof River. It was a very costly affair.

Tallarn Desert Raiders

The Tallarn specialize in hit and run warfare, preferring long range strikes or close heavy firepower before disappearing back into the sand. Captain Al’Rahem is a famous leader who is particularly keen on flanks and surprise attacks, somehow able to move entire platoons in surprise attacks undetected.

Valhallan Ice Warriors

Valhalla is another one of the poorer worlds in the Imperium that has managed to make a name for itself. During an invasion from a superior sized Ork force they were able to perform excellent trap maneuvers that would isolate and then collapse massive ice shelves onto the Ork invaders. They are resolute and bitter, perfect for the Imperium of Man to direct towards their many, many foes.

Vostroyan Firstborn

During the Horus Heresy, Vostrya remained neutral instead of turning the tide during the final days of the war. As punishment, they now send each firstborn male child to the battle, never to return home as tithe to the imperium. They are each equipped with eloquently elaborated gear from their fathers. An attempt to help their children live as long as possible to make up for the sin of their forefathers.
