Guard Tales

May 2009·p. 21

THE SHORT VERSION

Alan and Michael Perry trace the range from Aly Morrison’s early Imperial Army figures. Bomber jackets and Marine-derived helmet shapes precede the later regiment identities. Catachans and Cadians establish recognisable visual themes without simply copying historical uniforms. The designers stress translating archetypes into the distinctive forty-first millennium.

Editorial: Campaigns and the Imperial Guard

Mark welcomes the Guard release and its eagerly anticipated plastic aircraft. Three battles follow a commissar through different stages of his career. He also describes plans for a Middle-earth campaign linking skirmishes with larger formation battles. New rules and miniatures are presented as prompts for further stories rather than isolated releases.

Codex: Imperial Guard

The new codex combines the Guard’s background, regiments and army list in one volume. Troop and vehicle rules accompany a full-colour gallery. Its one-hundred-and-four pages portray disciplined human soldiers supported by enormous numbers and armour. The release notice establishes the publication that the later design feature explores.

Cadian Command Squad

Five plastic specialists can become a company or platoon command group. Alternative weapons, medical equipment and two banners support different roles. The pieces also blend into other Cadian kits. Spare components let the collector spread character and equipment across a larger army.
