My friend's entire IG army is black, he did the face basecoat in dark brown but was too lazy to paint their faces pale, so he just claims that they're from a sunny planet. And there is a woman model, the catachan grenade launcher metal fig is a woman.

What Women! I have never seen a single IG model with boobs. Ever!  off hand I know of Grenade Launcher girl (Catachan model), Rocket Launcher Girl (Catachan model), One of the Schaffer's Last chancers was a girl in a skirt, the female commissar, and of course there is a Gaunt's Ghost girl as well. Being the proud owner of the Amazonian fighting LXIX I do have these models in multiple, but my army is comprised of many many figures including other GW models that have been heavily converted to give my army a unique feel. OT: You can also use many different shades of brown as a base coat as not all blacks are dark skin. Highlighting with lighter shades and using brown washes. |

When I get my boys together, I'll in all likelihood vary their skin tones. There's more of an issue than just dark skin being hard to paint, however: the majority of Guard models have a European facial structure. Tallarns, for example, are modelled on British North African soldiers rather than Middle Eastern guerilla fighters. Catachans seem to be the most ambiguously raced models in the IG line, which will work out reat for me as those are the only guard models that I have en masse.
To Games Workshop's credit, they specified that at least one of the Space Marines legions, the Salamanders, was exclusively black. And the Tau are certainly Japanese-themed.

I suspect if my luck continues this way the local ANC party is going to discover this site, come in the middle of the night to break down my door and force me to paint all of my imperial guardsmen black. I don't have any black IG, mainly because I haven't got around to painting them any skin colour at all.
Meh.
Although I am planning to make some black troopers, simply so I can amuse myself by trying out different painting techniques

I think taht there are not any black IG simply because it is harder to paint colour skin than white skin...But regiments do exist! They just have helmets and gloves; that's why we can't see their skin. That's all as simple as that!
