Steel Legion, Done Right!

I kept telling my friend to set out his Steel Legion for an inspection (a display of the inventory) and he finally did it and allowed me to witness the Uldun Steel Legion sans the troops.  The troops too would have been breathtaking...  Well, it was still breathtaking but I hope to get the full display in the future.  I am also revealing my first Elysian Tauros.  This will be featured in my 506th Elysian Drop Troop regiment.  I need to make more in fact.  Here you are, the 2nd Uldun Steel Legion (because being the 1st would be too presumptuous)!

The Steel Legion tank company.  The bane of Ork invasions to say the least.  Notice the converted Hades Drill to the right just in front of the super heavy tanks.

Baneblades and a Malcador.  Dropping 10 inch pie plates like its going out of style.

The Hell Hounds are the first rank of tanks with Chimeras following close behind.  Any Imperial Guard army needs a solid 10 Chimeras.  You'll never regret it.  Your enemy will.

Two Shadowswords (strength D baby!) and the mighty Hellhammer.  These super heavies bring the pain.

Six enclosed compartment Basilisks (back row), which my friend says they usually do the most damage in his Apocalypse games.  One open topped Basilisk, a Medusa, and 3 Recovery vehicles that add to the repair capability of a tech priest.  Speaking of which I used a tech priest to repair a volcano cannon my last Apocalypse game.  They are worth the points!

These are some unorthodox Armored Sentinels that I envy a great deal.  The back row sentinels have a low profile which is awesome, and the front row sentinels float/fly.  Tell me that isn't creative.  My friend is brilliant to say the least.

That is a Steel Legion army.  There are two Valkyries I did not get into the pictures.  This is what your 40K army collection should look like.

Sigh, to see these in action charging....  Poor Orks.

My friend did this Tauros out of a space marine Land Speeder and motorcycle bits among other bits.  It looks awesome and didn't cost an arm and a leg.  I will be making more of these for my 506th Elysian Drop Troop Regiment.

There you have it.  My friend is quite the creative genius.  He is able to see things and create new models with just a few moments of thought.  I only wish I was as artistic as he is.  In the mean time I am utilizing his tips to help make a decent Apocalypse army for myself.  I hope this blog post inspired some of you folks.  The Imperial Guard has tons of legendary regiments full of character that you can build on to make your own fun armies.  Let me know if you tried something you saw here.  The Emperor Protects!
