Description
Some time ago, someone in DA told me to draw the Imperial Guard sometime... Well, looks like the time is finally upon us, as this is the first of a series I did with many IG troops
Cadia is the stone inside Abbadon's boot, right in front of the only safe exit/entry to the hell known as Eye of Terror, blocking (or trying to) most of the heretics movements. So the local IG is hard as titanium, their flak armor is wildly copied around by other IG troops, and their equipment is meant to make them ready for everything and anything, from trench digging to wall climbing.

The Guardsmen Regiments all have their own influances from armies throughout history. Their TvTropes page describes them like this:
The Cadian Shock Troops are basically a futuristic version of World War II Britain, down to being led by a big, charismatic figure who is seldom seen without a cigar.
The Catachan Jungle Fighters are both sides of the Vietnam War, and a good bit of Rambo.
Valhallan Ice Warriors are grim and determined ice worlders using artillery bombardment and human wave attacks right out of the Great Patriotic War.
The Vostroyan Firstborn are based on the Imperial Russian Army, and pass down Ancestral Weapons worth more than the Guardsman wielding it.
The Atillan Rough Riders are mounted forces either Hunnic or Mongol in flavor.
Tallarn Desert Raiders are heavily reminiscent of early 20th century Arab forces.
The Praetorians wear pith helmets and red coats and fight in firing lines with wheeled field pieces, right out of Zulu.
The gas mask and trenchcoat-wearing mechanized soldiers of the Armageddon Steel Legion are straight from the World War II-era German army...
While the gas mask and trenchcoat-wearing siege specialists in the Death Korps of Krieg are straight from the World War I-era western front, with French, British and German equipment/background.
The elite Elysian Drop Troopers take notes from just about every paratrooper and air-cav force in military history.
The Mordian Iron Guard proudly wear dress uniforms into battle and fight in close order drill, evocative of the Prussian military.
The Tanith First-And-Only are scouts and woodsmen beyond compare who wear blue facial markings and march to the sound of bagpipes.
The Savlar Chem Dogs are an Army of Thieves and Whores known for its drug use and looting.
The Scintillan Fusiliers, comprised primarily of local elites and essentially a futuristic version of 17th-18th century Italy, particularly Venice, at its most decadent.

As critique, I think her legs and feet are a tad too short.

Hahahahahhahahaha
Well... I think the armor is quite bulky, and the backpack just give her a sense of being too broad in the torso... In fact I draw the girl first and then made the armor over her
Hummmm... small feet? Chinese people probably will be amazed by her XD
