I never know how much to give or hold back on these things.
I guess Imperial Guard were always on my warhammer cards. Both granparents served, one in the artillery, another was a tanker, uncle was in the engineers. I myself although regrettably couldnt
serve fully due to circumstances was in the cadet force in my youth and did basic training with the South Staffordshire. So non-super power armoured test tube soldiers seems right up my street.
Started playing Guard in 2nd edition, already had a main army so couple of squads and 2 tanks that was about it. Then Big Toof River happened and managed to get my hands on 4 of the boxes
when they were released and my Praetorian life began. These did well for a while until painting and playing died off maybe 4th edition quitingt the hobby in pursuit of other interests.
Like an absolute moron I sold off all my proud boys in red.
Fast forward until a few years ago I got an urge to get back into painting this time in a different direction to the XXIV. Forgeworld Krieg sang to me with there first war inspired aesthetics
so I bagged a sizeable force probably around 2.5 - 3k point which I'm shameful to say only 1 squad of infantry, 1 death rider squad and 2 tanks have been painted thus far. Which is fine as
I haven't played a single game for well at least 15 years? maybe longer.
Anyway, I think forums are far better than this facebook nonsense everyone seems to love, so hopefully I can invite you to join me at somepoint in a slow journey as I attempt to paint more than 1 model a year.
