The propaganda mantras on your tanks are a really nice touch. Loving the dystopian vibe.

Love that heavy mortars and heavy caliber artillery guns are "Riot Dispersal Vehicles"

++ Thought for the Day: War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength ++

These are the kind of armies I love. Not painted to perfection but damn good theming and story telling. Builds so much character and narrative

That is by far *the* most interesting and inventive Imperial Guard force I have ever seen. Looks really good to. I'm so jealous most of my things look terrible.

oh God painting all that white makes me feel physically sick, fair play to you

Hell yeah! It's your budget tau :D

When one of the models said "keep your family safe" the regiment seemed like really good guys. Then you explained the fluff and the sentence sounded a bit more sinister. Awesome army though, the color scheme makes then way cooler than the usual cadians.

I think we found Imperial Guard version of Marines Malevolent

This was ridiculously pleasant to watch. Would love to see you do this dive into origin and background for all your armies.

As someone who has a Star Phantom army, you have my condolences. Edit: also as someone working in HK right now, I love your Hong Kong police inspired army 🤣

Great look and even greater fluff. General Francisco has my vote.

Brilliant. White? .. White tanks?.. White? I can barely paint a helmet white without frustration. You've done a fantastic job, and the theme is awesome. I have a grand total of 9 guard models since I started to collect them last month :)

Love the General Franco jokes and motif. The family-friendly fascism is nicely done too - completely ordinary, banal and acceptible. Great units and powerful army of course.

Ohoho, this is wonderful. I love the concept of a Guard regiment being used as an enforcer military instead of the local Arbites or Palatines. I love the Nineteen-Eighty-Four general theme and references, and I love how it's nicely separate from Nineteen-Eighty-Four in all the details. Wonderfully done, Auspex, I look forward to seeing your other armies if you choose to make more of these.

Love the 1984 referances! I also started my guard in 5th ed. But it was the Leman Russ that brought me to the guard. I made an old FW tank army with the plastic Russ kit, had about 6 to start and have expanded ever since. Get some super heavies next they are hilarious to run!

That's looking awesome, congrats on painting all that white. Although. Got to be honest. I couldn't resist not to weather the shit out of that lovely blank white canvas haha.

So it's Marines Malevolent , but as imperial guard , I can dig it 👍👍.

Planet 'Orwell' is simply brilliant, as is 'guardsman 101' - very well thought out and executed background for your army, and frankly hilarious slogans on your vehicles as well! (y) I'm a big fan of 1984 myself.

This has been my favorite video you have done yet. The models really look great and I especially love the fluff. Also great job on the pictures too. Please do all your other armies! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great content!

I've got a Griffon Mortar myself!! I miss Bunker Buster shells!!!! I wish they continued making the model!! I'm at 9000 points myself, though with Cadians, Catachans and Armageddon Steel legion. Keep up the great work!!

I'm doing a similar guard army with many riot-suppression oriented conversions so this was really inspiring - I've been putting the symbol of the tyrannical Trade Commission ( Comisión De Comercio) run by my despotic, conquistador themed Rogue Trader on the side of my tanks but now I think I might put some slogans on there as well - it's very Mussolini-esque! Well done on what looks like a very successful project

This is absolutely fantastic. All that small detail down to the writing on the tanks and vehicles is awesome.

black lining is on point, i love the film canister and land raider inferno cannon hellhounds. this video was randomly presented me by yt for no reason. pretty neat to see this old stuff sometimes. also the pic with the three mortar teams, every base got its own unique basing technique, its like a good guard army always is, it takes time to build and paint em, and afterwards they look good together. this awesome conversions too are some ive seen plenty of the battlefields from long ago. i love em o7

Thanks for sharing your army! The amount of work you've done with conversions and magnetizing is amazing. This video has been a treat!

This is really nice stuff, very unique look, makes the Cadian kits a bit more interesting and i like the Orwell fluff

This really is an interesting guard army for a more game focused person, which is awesome!

Holy cow, this is awesome! I love your channel so much. What a special surprise to find a video about your own army! Thanks for everything you contribute to the Warhammer community.

As someone who plays guard, I got to say great job on the army! I love all the different units (especially the Rough Riders) and the paint scheme. Keep up the great work, I have your vids on when I’m working on build and painting!

I love the background blurb for your army :) Definitely the heels of any narrative

Thank's for sharing! I love looking at what other people do with their models. The sheer volume is respectable and the white looks absolutely great. The vehicles are especially good. I'm painting my own homegrown space marine army white with silver and black details. I'm using black templar bits and it's coming together quite well.

Looks great! I love the personal twist :D

This is amazing, just the amount of creativity you did with this army.

What an awesome job. Looks great. Very impressive. Very counter intuitive going for the clean look with the guard. Like your idea with the old photo canisters for the hellhounds.

I love the slogans on the tanks!! You don't only do great videos but you are also a great painter

Original, creative, and great to look at. Good work, dude!

This is a very nice blast from the past, I starten in 8th and it's so nice to see the progress of guard over the previous editions. I love the pallet too

Love the aesthetic and backstory. The flame iconography really pops. Always nice to see homebrew armies. Really respectable kitbashing too.

Your lore is fucking fantastic. I don't think Ive ever seen anyone do something like this. And it fits with the 40k universe as a whole while also making callbacks to great classics of liturature. Grimdark indeed...they kinda remind me of more competent, lethal, effective Peacekeepers from Hunger Games. Probably the white.

my work is done! thank you for committing to showing us your army.

Greetings from the snowy forests! You have wonderful miniatures and excellent work! Thank you so much for the inspiration given by this demonstration!

this is amazing great job!

Absolutely stunning. As a returning Imperial Guard player I'm genuinely in awe of how original and clever your force is.

The planet's name "Orwell" is a pretty cool reference.

Awesome fluff. Extremely imaginative and creative. Great job.

my man needs to get on "40k in 40 minutes", as another imperial guard fan I love your work, keep it up!

Very nice!! I love your background. Lots of imagination.

a total inspiration thanks for sharing!

I love it. Great theme / lore!!

The dystopian world being named Orwell is a very nice touch.

Now we need to see all your armies. Love this one 🙂

Beautiful and hilarious army :D Thank you for the showcase =)

Brilliant. Beautiful. Heartwarming.

Really cool army you've got there, I'd really love to see them in action on the table top :D

Thank you for sharing your army

Great video and Army. I love the lore and the look works well with it! I try to create a lore section for all my armies - it helps guide my painting and buying. And after hours of painting, its my tribute to my armies - who normally die defending the Emperor!

I feel like we're all living on planet Orwell now, awesome army and lore to go along with it, love the state propaganda on the vehicles

Very very cool.....always tempted by Guard.

great work!

What a lovely army, You say you aren't a painter but those look great. Love the Orwellian name

General Francisco: Me being Spaniard: Confused and nervous noises

That's really cool!

What a fun army. Orwell would be proud!

some nice pieces !

Wow! I need to start my Krieg army. Great content, thank you.

I love this. Awsome guard.

Love this, just stumbled across it. Last week I went to work (secondary school) as Winston Smith for world book day 😂

Absolutely brilliant fluff!

These are brilliant!

Your army is so awesome

I love homebrewed armies. The theme and execution is great. To me this kind of army blows a master crafted but vanilla IG army off the table any day of the week for coolness.

Very cool. Cheers.

I love the name of your planet “Orwell”. Nice nod to 1984

I love everything about all of this...

This was awesome

That Mortar carrier looks awesome

General Francisco *The International Brigades dislike this.*

I like the jump packs man. They also kinda remind me of Buzz Lightyear... I really like all the slogans and the conversions are very nice. Thanks for doing the showcase... do you have any other armies you might make a video like this for?

Love this. My guard army are a band of mercs

Awesome theme

The black and red cloaks are gorgeous, and I love the flame motif too. I wonder if you used a stencil

I adore how on the nose your theming is

Awesome army! Love the Orwellian slogans!

These are amazing enough to make me want a guard force! I love the crisp white. ... I might borrow some elements if you don’t mind 😅

Solid army. Love the theme👌. Deffo instrested in the idea of making money buying and selling (mentioned earlier😅)

What an amazing army! Literally the 1984th

I am usually not big on Imperial guard, but I appreciate the repressive army vibe. The fascist, 1984 and Starship Trooper vibes I also quote like. Also do you only collect Imperium armies?

I love this backstory, it’s very fun being the bad guy in 40k. I love the riot police idea and style, the slogans and threats are just beautiful. My guard force is the subordinate to my rouge space marines army. They are the 234th rabid assault Corps. And the space marines are the Serpents of Iron. Their armour is factory grey cause they steal and strip the paint away, only having regiment numbers and symbols. Basically the force is a mechanized infantry who use primarily sentinels and guardsmen, who often advance without care for hazardous environments by the orders of their space marines who believe whole heartedly that they are “doing their part for their god emperor” who they still believe in despite being excommunicated living on a space hulk that’s hunted by many imperial institutions for dealings with xenos.

The generals name is asociated with the spanish dictator francisco franco or is just a coincidence

6:09 imagine your just walking along and you see a valkyrie with 2 massive gatling guns on it

Beautiful

Love it. What if Tropico but in space?

your a unexpectedly good painter, i love the free hand work and your lemun russ tanks really show how good you are but one GLARING issue on your models is the gun barrels not being drilled 6/10 could have been 9 but those undrilled barrels are very noticeable still great though, just goes to show that being competitive focused play is no excuse for grey tiding

Looks dope.

Double-plus-good army, you have there.

Wow man that is an excellent looking Army and an awesome concept behind them. With loyalist forces like that, traitor guard doesn't look so bad Also there's a lot of people that say white is actually the hardest color to paint

Nice to see Griffons still with us (I have 3) and did I see film canisters for the hellhound fuel tanks?

That is a delightful theme for a guard army, and frankly, if the tithe continues the high lords will totally turn a blind eye.

It s a decent paintjob tbh. Looks alright as a bunch
