Hey everyone... lurk here quite alot and thought id put up my current project as a log on here... i am also on Dakka dakka / IGMB / and bootcamp , but i feel i have alot to share and i like the look of this place so heres what i got so far...Welcome to my plog featuring my custom Guard army called the EDF... heres some fluff..The largest terraforming ship to ever leave the shipyards of mars was the Eden, the ship housed several regiments of newly formed imperial guard,ground and air vehicles, building materials and many families to be a strong workforce once the terraforming process was sucsessful.the ships aim was to find a suitable planet to terraform and become a new earth and a new location for the imperiums efforts to push into deep space.The Eden ran into trouble though, during the long flight the ship entered the warp and this lead it to be lost, when the ship finally exited the warp they were greeted by a series of class 6 planets that could take up to 10000 years to terraform.during the terraforming process cabin fever became common and many generations of humans never saw outside of thier ship sectors...this lead to several wars on board the eden and factional warfare and gangs became common, until one man stood up and helped form a peace treaty to reform the crew... with the ideals of 20th century democracy he formed a strong leadership and crew morale until the ships doors finally opened to the new world ... EDENThe edf belive the imperium have abandoned them and now fight for the defence of their home planet, in truth the journey through the warp did many unexpected things.not only did it take them far from the influence of the imperium, but also took them onto a new dimension that tecniqually if acsessed though wormholes sits somewhere near the eastern fringe close to Tau space.Eden is a peaceful world, and sends small envoys to find new citizens throughout the stars... Eden is home to many different species.well enough of that... kinda hate writing fluff, it always get all cheesy ... basicly i wanted an army with all kinds of races, like an overly clever ork that didnt fit in etc... purly bacause painting and modelling humans all the time bores me a little and i like the challange of converting different species now and again...so anyway... on to the minis!as you may had noticed , The citizens of Eden are mixed race, this is also reflected in their military force. General Petraeus' most trusted team members are his communications officer 'captain blake' , a loyal orc called cpl Jakka , a human/kroot hybrid named SSGT Knarll who acts as the teams weapons expert and a reprogrammed cyborg sentient AI named Trooper 8. Each of his staff are feircly loyal to the general in combat and refuse to fight for any other general within the EDF.because the EDF is not an imperial force, it has no 'commisars' ... insted it has EDF heros as commisar stand in's .Banes and Elias are twin brothers, but also sworn enemies. During a traning exersize they had a major disagreement and swore to kill each other if they ever made contact again.The EDF generals know to make sure the twins are always fight far from each other.Marbo /this is my harker mini... to fit in with the 20th century military style i decided that his weapon must look more like a 50cal m2 rather that the heavy bolter... so.. imagine that the weapon smiths stripped a Hvy bolter down to the componants and put it together in the lightest most practical way for a human to carry... not that this harker stand in wouldnt have the strenght... he stands a full 5mm higher than any other trooper, hes a beast of a man...Harker / MSGT 'theTank' DanesMSGT Danes initially joined the EDF as a logistics member, using his great strenght to unload transports. Once command saw Danes however they quickly saw his potential as a icon to the EDF and put him on a gruelling traning regime that even a darksider could not pass. Due to his strenght and size (8ft, 3 inches) he quickly became known as a man not to mess with and became a legend in his own right within the EDF lightsiders. With a customised,lightened heavy boltgun he strides into battle clearly seen amonst the normal ranks, raining death apon anyone who dares to try and take Eden.Only known as Mantis , this shadowy figure is feared by many but trusted by EDF command. Edens rules on citizens with psyhic powers are very strict, under normal conditions a man with the power that Mantis holds would not be allowed to live on Eden , but Mantis has proven that dispite his great power, he has full control of his actions. Mantis wears a gaskmask purely to strike fear into whoever looks at him, in truth, he is not the most hansome of men and dislikes his appearence and is self consious of what people may think of him.Lt Marshal is one of the EDF's highly trained TAC (tactical air controller) his job is to liase with Air units and artillery units and guide bombs and shells onto target using his high powered communication equipment. Lt marshall holds the record for the most fire missons confirmed kills , conducted during EDF military strikes.The EDF is split into two distinct military detachments.the Lightsiders and the DarksidersThe lightsiders are the main element in the EDF, they comprise of all ground troops , light transports, light and heavy tanks, artillery units and fast attack ground vehicles... the main responisbility of the Lightsiders is to hit the enemy head on.the lightsiders wear 20th century ACU pattern fatigues with desert tan assault gear.The Darksiders are the EDF's specal forces and comprise mainly of Air attack, air support and marinetime assault... The darksiders main roles are recconisance, air assault , special operations and black ops.The darksiders have no set uniform, the units choosing what suits them best when they need it. The darksiders all comprise of veteren troops, and with this status ...recive the best gear the EDF has at its disposal.. many Darksiders are issued with NVG and newer more powerful autoguns and lasguns.showing different conversionshavent got many squads made up yet, but i plan on having a few interacial xenos squads... heres a beastman prototypeheavy weapon teamSpecial weapons teamElitesratlingsratling squad 2Ogryn unit WIPworking on a rough rider guard biker squad at the momnent, heres a prototype testall my vehicles have magnet technology to interchange weapon loadoutstransports all WIPall of my vehicles now have custom track armour like thisvendettaHellhound/banewolf etcLeman russDestroyer Tank hunterFast attackTauros stand in WIPand one for scaleSentinalsManticore (scratchbuild)Basilisk WIP
