hey if you mange to hold out long enough and not loose too many guardsmen you might just buy enough time to let the astrates take all the credit.

There are far more incompetent things than movie Stormtroopers. Signs aliens come to mind for one.

WOW! I wonder if this guy realises this is from the IG omnibus. all it is is just with more color and less picture
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am well aware of that, which may be why I said I only colored it in the original description as well as not claiming to be the original artist.

This has to be one of my all time favorite pieces of art GW ever did for IG. I love what you've done with it. The color really adds alot.

The caption on the image said the the IG destroyed this particular Hive Fleet didn't it?
Well, anyways, brilliant work here. I really like your style, adds a lot to these old images.

um no....they are not....it says so in the Guard codez that they won that War.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, but most of them died anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Provide proof? because I have yet to see any proof regarding your claim, where I do have proof because I got the Codex.

Well, they're being assaulted by tyrannids, most of the in a normal situation should have had a awfull death even if the aftermatch was a imperial victory. Is logic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well your 'Logic' is about as important as an ant is being stomped on.
You have failed to provide any proof on how many deaths there were, you have failed to provide any evdience that they did not win the battle.
And you have a biased Anti-Guard mentaility.
So anything you have to say is nothing more than the ravings of a Troll.
I bid you good day sir!

I actually like the guard enought to corrupt them and field them my friend. And no, I'm no troll, I just know that a human life is weak and frail and many of the man in that image should have fallen to the tyranids because that's the way the guard win battles, pilling corpses of their own. They are no better than butchers for their own men, and that's a fact. That's the way most of the officers in the guard play they "chips", and many times it works. Like in the immage of that battle, the nids have reached their lines, many deaths, even in victory, that's the way the guard is.

Once Again your 'logic' is flawed and is that of an obnoxious toad, you gladly focus on The Guardsmen's deaths or turning them Evil. Your so called 'Logic' and 'facts' are nothing more than the ravings of a Biased Alien Lover
And who says your my Friend? We are not friends,
Nothing sickens me more than 'your' type of people, Those who either Hate or enjoy fucking with Humanity for thier own twisted mind, and get a kick out of thier suffering.
yeah we are done here. Xeno Loving Toad. >

You may hate me, but I love you pal, you're pretty amaizing, I really respect your faith towards the guardsmen, even if they are weak, hopless and corruptible. Thanks to your problematic kind, your damned imperium have held against us for so long, even if slowly you're crumbling. I hate the nids by the way, and I'm no toad. Just a fair and respectfull preacher of the true gods. Death to the Xenos and hell to the fall emperor. For Lorgar and the true gods we shall see you burn, burn in the warp forever. Or maybe not, usually people don't like evil to win, sadly. And by the way, in the toad affair, I'm not a toad, I don't preach nurgle to be able to become on of his toads, I go for chaos undivided, imperial scum. XD

True gods my ass. your wisps of smoke are about as important as an anthill is to a Man.
Your so called 'gods' are nothing more than bickering children, infantile in thier great game.
Where they toy with you like one would toy with some puddy.
Oh and you are a toad, because Toads are a lesser species from Man which is what Chaos and your kind are, toads. Weaklings, Failures in general, even your 'precious' gods will forsake you in the end.
and you will all become dust.
At least us Imperials our Faith in the Emperor, we Held you back for 10,000 years and we shall do so for another 10,000.
oh and hey hows Cadia? I hear its real nice what with the Imperial Navy and Airforce bombing whats left of your 13th black crusade, seeing as how your 'fleet' if you could call it that, haha, was Pretty much wiped out and sent running once again to the eye to sulk like the children they are.
And when your forces were so close to Finally taking Cadia. Haha
Sure Guardsmen died by the millions, yet Cadia is still ours Because They held out for the Imperial Navy to gain control of the space around it, and Cadia will be rebuilt, and its defenses only intensified.
So what was that About Chaos being all powerful? and unstoppable? hmm, looks like your amusing ego is wrong 'Again'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, they are ash, pain and thought. We created them, we gave them power and now they sall rule above all the living. And well, they're not a freaking corpse in top of a toilet XD. The great problem with you imperials is that you're so clustered in your faith that you can't even try to undestand the other points of view, on the other hand we accept anyone smart enough to praise the eight pointed star. You've held for 10,000 years and you'll held for maybe other 10k years, but in the end you will fall, you're being pinned down in every front, the Necrons awakening, the tyrannids and orks crushing everything and in the end, when you're at the side of the abyss shall you cry for our help. Cadia can wait, Abbadon's incompetence has costed us dearly, but eventually everything shall be corrupted and fall.

All I see here is the rantings of a Loser grasping at the few strings he has to protect his own little ego.

Yes, yes, governor. I remember you, we've already had this conversation...in a youtube video. If I don't recall wrong in a imperial guard tribute that has the Unsung War as soundtrak. Don't worry governor, you'll die alone, unsung and unremembered, as you weak fools like to die, while I can achieve inmortality at the cost of meaningless millions. It's a price I'll gladly pay.

Blabbing a little, but you sound exactly like someone I met a while ago, an other blind fanatic of the false emperor. I really thought he might have been you.

Glad ya dig it, I find old-school GW pics to be the toughest to color, can't figure out why, so thankfully I don't run across em too much.

What a magnificent piece of artistry. My compliments to you, master colorer of art. I should have the link set up by tonight. To quote an old proverb made famous during Pearl Harbor, "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!" In other words, keep up the good work.
