A battery of Imperial Guard Basilisk Artillery deploy ready to deliver an Imperial blow to the enemies of the Imperium. In the background can be seen an Imperial statue of a Space Marine.
The models are from the Epic 40000 era and are very well detailed.
From Simon’s collection. More photographs of Epic Imperial Guard.
Here is another photograph of Simon’s BaneBlade, it is very BIG! He’s done a really nice job on it and it looks very impressive on the battlefield.
More photographs of Imperial Guard Baneblade super heavy tanks.
So you’re an Imperial Commissar and you need a personal transport.
No way are you going to be happy with a Chimera or a Leman Russ, no you need the biggest and the best, you want a Baneblade super heavy tank.
This very nice Baneblade modified for an Imperial Commissar was on display at GamesDay 2007.

Here are a trio of Imperial Guard Salamander from Simon’s collection.
The Salamander command vehicle is one of the many vehicles based on the flexible Chimera chassis. Armoured Company command sections are often equipped with the Salamander Command vehicle, allowing them and their Chimera borne infantry keep up during an assault and support the tanks.
These conversions were made, probably about ten years ago.
I am pretty sure that these are Griffon hulls, as for the gunners, well would you believe me if I said they were Ork Buggy Gunners?

Simon’s Imperial Guard Infantry form a line awaiting the advancing Orks!
Having written before about the plastic Stompa, from another source I have got further confirmation that there will be a plastic Ork Stompa and it will cost £60.
This same source did not deny the Plastic Shadowsword either.
One new thing from them was that when these models are released in April, there will also be the release of a revised version of Apocalypse.
This Imperial Guard Medusa is from Simon’s collection and the photo is from a recent game.
More photographs of Forge World’s model Medusa.
This is Simon’s Imperial Guard Hellhound.
He has made a few changes which make it look more like the Churchill Crocodile variant from the Second World War. Rather than have the external fuel tanks on the back of the Chimera, he has added an external fuel trailer. This is from the Ork Skorcha model with an additional fuel drum added. In combat this would have the advantage that if the main flame weapon was taken out (or ran out) they could drop the trailer for greater speed and better manoeuvrability.
In our games we do use the Apocalypse flame template and this earlier posting explains why.
More pictures of the Hellhound.
This photograph was taken at Games Day 2008 and uploaded live to the blog during the event.
