So in celebration of finishing my Leman Russ and Armoured Sentinels (need to post finished pictures of them…) I thought I should post a group shot of my Traitor Guard army. I also needed to put together an official army list for the army for the painting competition on Sunday as well. As you can see they came a long way from just two months ago.
My company commander with his horde as his back drop and the two sentinels looming in the distance.
I am still needing to paint two more heavy weapon squads and two scout sentinels to finish what I currently have built. I also have another platoon worth of troops from a friend at the store but they may have to wait for some tanks to bolster the line first.
The Army List using only what is painted:
- HQ: Company Command Squad 137 pts
- Company Commander with bolt pistol, power weapon and melta bombs
- Veterans with regimental standard, medi-pack, plasmagun, vox, krak grenades
- Troop: Platoon #1 352
- Platoon Commander with bolt pistol, power weapon, melta bomb; standard, 2x grenade launchers, vox 77pts
- 2x squads with vox, flamer, power weapon, melta bomb , krak grenades 85 pnts each
- Heavy Weapon Squad with 3x lascannons 105 pnts
- Troop: Platoon #2 352
- Platoon Commander with bolt pistol, power weapon, melta bomb; standard, 2x grenade launchers, vox 77pts
- 2x squads with vox, flamer, power weapon, melta bomb, krak grenades 85 pnts each
- Heavy Weapon Squad with 3x lascannons 105 pnts
- Fast Attack: Armoured Sentinels x2 with plasma cannons 150 pnts
- Heavy Support: Leman Russ with lascannon, heavy bolters 185 pnts
Total: 1176

Fantastic! I love the look of a nicely painted (Traitor) Guard army.
That is an amazing army! The fluff and composition are perfect for a traitor army. And your paint job is insanely awesome! Love the customizations.
Dude – looking at this army makes me want to make a traitor army!
Daaaamn that is a sexy shot on the first pic- excellent camera work sir. Nice choice with the inquisitor model for the CC- does he count as having carapace armor, or is he just showing off his badassitude?
Beautiful looking army! I browsed past this page once already tonight, but I was left so impressed by your army I had to come back again to leave a comment.
I love renegade armies and these are a fine example. Very nice work. John
thanks guys! It’s a nice change to build and paint non-power armor guys. I’m taking them all to the local GW this weekend and will hopefully get some more pictures of them in “action”
@Max: Since the IG codex doesn’t allow just the CC to be in carapace (the full squad or nothing) he is just a badass until I get a full squad in armor.
Incredibly thematic and consistent! I’m impressed with the amount of work that must have gone into converting (or would corrupting be a better word?) all those Guard units to the side of Chaos.
They look absolutely brilliant all together! I have about 1500 points of DAs now and literally 1/3rd of the number of models! Damn the Guard being able to cram all those numbers in to such a nice amount of points. Really nice work, one of the nicest armies I have seen to date
@Paul: converting the basic troops wasn’t too difficult, it was more of a kit-bash than anything. The only real modification I made to the models was scraping off all the aquilas. GW keeps coming out with great plastic kits that have all sorts of crazy bitz, I somethings buy a unit just to scavenge its sprues!
@73rd: There is something about taking all the individuals and bringing them together that feels good. I know what you mean about the number of models! I have about 3k of Iron Warriors and I easily outnumber them with my traitor guard already!
Thanks for all the complements guys!
