Over the Christmas Holiday I started a Manticore for my Imperial Guard Army!
I've not touched this Army for years (It was featured in White Dwarf 266 in its earliest incarnation) & my mate Craig is going to use it at The Caledonian Uprising event.
As all the vehicles in my Army are based on Landspeeders,
I have used a Sace Marine Scout Landspeeder Storm as the basis,
which makes life much easier as i dont have to cut a speeder in half. :D
Anyway here's the a wip's, the picture's are not a great though.

Nice :-* :-* :-*

Looking good so far!
I must thank you, rather belatedly, of course.
It was your IG army that gave me so much inspiration all those years ago that made me want to do a Catachan-based force.
I didnt steal ALL your ideas, though. I opted for a walker themed army.
That was such a fantastic looking army, I remember it fondly.
So....now that I have the chance, I can say;
Many thanks aircav!

but not many, I need to get new pictures of the army & I dont have a copy of the white dwarf anymore :(
-
Aha, that one, I remember it now 8)
The chances are slim but I might have an extra copy, if so do you want it?
cheers
