So, are there any plastic IG forces that are NOT Cadians? Preferably, anything that comes in bulk, rather than per-character basis.

From Games Workshop? Catachans.
Forge World has quite a few. [url=http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Guard/Tallarn_Desert_Raiders?filter_reset=1]Tallarn Desert Raiders[/url], [url=http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Guard/Death-Korps-of-Krieg?filter_reset=1]Death Korps of Krieg[/url] and [url=http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Guard/Elysian_Drop_Troops?filter_reset=1]Elysian Droptroops[/url] I believe. They also have some extra tanks and emplacements and shit.
All I did in my chem class today was read the wh40k lexicanum. I consider it time well spent

Dat price of 25 dollars per 3 figures for Tallarn.

Catachans.

I imagine some conversion would be needed if you wanted more than just conscripts/weapons team. That is if you only want plastic.
Although I'm not too familiar with IG and I may have missed something on the GW website.
So... Heavy support orks... battelwagon over kanz? No fancy gubbinz for a warboss, just pretty standard, I think 2x wagons are thebest choice.... but kanz are so fun...
[QUOTE=wraithcat;33321698]Sure and the west coast muties don't make more SM's more or less for the sole reason that the vault dweller destroyed the Vats.
Essentially supermutants and FEV vats would probably be tantamount to tech heresy in the imperium. Which means eradication.
Ghouls would probably cleansed as well just for good measure.
Keep in mind industrial mutations do happen in wh40k usually on hive worlds. But are usually seen just as devious as chaos mutations.
Long term evolutionary changes on the other hand are grudgingly tolerated. With one of these common changes being the ogryn switch which has happened on many high grav worlds and the imperium has actually seeded ogryns to some human unsuitable worlds as well.[/QUOTE]
I thought psykers were the next step in human evolution, Thats what made the Emperor so great. He was before his time, and was and still is the best psyker of mankind (or any race for that matter).
Or were Ogryns just some weird accident and Pskyers are the more accepted step for evolution?

Something about this terminus ultra really speaks to me.
If we're going on about 40K colliding with another universe (borderline heresy I say) here's one for ya!
You know the Strogg from the quake universe?
Weather or not stroggos (strogg home world) gets destroyed will probably be down to who finds it first.
If any Imperial war leader with half a brain fins it, boom.
But if Tech priests find it.....
Strogg aren't even very far from the most extensively "upgraded" techpriests. And they don't still stand a chance.
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;33325868]Strogg aren't even very far from the most extensively "upgraded" techpriests. And they don't still stand a chance.[/QUOTE]
Maybe, But the strogg literally run on dead bodies and the IG like to just throw alive bodies at things till they die.
A dead body isn't instantly converted. It needs to be taken behind the lines and implanted with gear. Meanwhile the IG is burying you in corpses and outnumbering you a thousand times. Orbital bombardment or artillery takes out facilities, etc.
Only things that can take out 40k is either super-advanced scifi tech like the Culture, or enemies with even greater scale, like SupCom/TA and TTGL.
Of course, a Necron accidentally dropping the Celestial Orrery also counts.

How can anything have a greater scale than W40K? Doesn't seem like SupCOM/TA has any of that.
And by TTGL did you mean the Anime?
By TTGL I mean the mecha (from the animu).
SupCom / TA ingame build times are canon as said by the devs. Counting from that, they need a week to completely strip a planet, a month for a solar system, and from there on they're unstoppable.

[/QUOTE]
The only things I've ever heard of being more powerful than 40k, was some bullshit powerful animy stuff. The thing is somewhere on factpile, where 40k usually fucks shit up, with their favorite being Kharn.
[QUOTE=thisguy123;33325791]But if Tech priests find it.....[/QUOTE]
This would be the first time Adeptus Mechanicus would overrun their enemies and cut them apart for studying, in a giant wave of techpriests, falling from the sky.
It might as well be an orgy... OF SCIENCE!
The only other GW plastic IG force you can get is Catachans. The new command squad is quite nice, but the regular boxes with them have a bit outdated models, although a lot of people still like them. You can get FW conversion kits for the Cadian plastic GW kits in form of hostile environment gear for them, or even modify them to be Tallarn desert raiders instead. If you feel rich, you can start an old school metal GW army, or if you are even richer, start a DKoK or Elyian drop troops FW army.

Psykers, next step in the evolution? You damned heretic. Fear and loathe the psyker.
gonna start painting culitst chan on my landraider this weekend. Sadly the way I bought the damn thing someone thought it was a great idea to switch around the boarding hatches and lasguns.
[editline]18th November 2011[/editline]
Not that I ever use my landraider as a transport, god no my infantry is too precious for that, but it complicates the painting.
[QUOTE=thisguy123;33325879]Maybe, But the strogg literally run on dead bodies and the IG like to just throw alive bodies at things till they die.[/QUOTE]
They may run on dead bodies (well, they do actually if we remember those lovely grinders) but they can't make soldiers from dead people. However, if capturing heretics would give a chance..
IG/Mechanicus would need moving "Heretics-to-Stroggos soldiers" and "Dead-to-Stroyent" factories too.
Unrelated, but do Ogryn psykers exist?
[QUOTE=Scar;33327337]Unrelated, but do Ogryn psykers exist?[/QUOTE]
They can't enter transports.
So no. No they do not.
[QUOTE=Scar;33327337]Unrelated, but do Ogryn psykers exist?[/QUOTE]
Ahaha, that'd be impossible.
The Ogryns are so stupid that they couldn't even understand how the Warp works, let alone control it.

Well the arm and core in TA sort of stripmined a planet circa every four seconds at the height of their war... Plus in the battle logs they have weapons that potentially put the Orrery to shame. Or had before they more or less exhausted all resources. Shame reason they no longer have spaceships.
The strogg on the other hand are fairly primitive from an imperial standpoint and have technology that can't compare to imperial. That failed first landing due to ground defenses? Routine for the imperial fleet.
And strogg soldiers? The mechanicum already does this better with the Skiitarii.

Psykers are a gradual human developement which seems to happen irregardless of environment. It's possibly genetic and possibly something else as well.
Same goes pariahs really, as the probability of them dieing out is far too high (very low chance of them getting children).
Ogryns and Ratlings on the other hand are fairly standard genetic deviations which happen due to environmental changes. Those two would fall under standard evolution and adaptation.
Keep in mind that wh40k is just utterly giant and massive and with enough time you would probably find large enough genetic differences between the various worlds of the imperium to not even make "humans" from one world crossbreedable with another.
Really humanity has remained more or less so simmilar only thanks to the genetic purity the imperium puts forward.
[QUOTE=Hoboharry;33328254]Ahaha, that'd be impossible.

ORK ORK ORK ORK ORK - you don't have to understand the warp, or even control your powers in order to be a psyker.
To be honest, I actually wonder how easy it would be for a demon or enslaver to possess an ogryn psyker.

Yeah, I meant one lone commander warping in on a planet and basically starting from zero. Of course it would speed up exponentially.
Do any of you guys reckon there's an interest in those gameboards people make?
Wondering if it's worth hand crafting them, then selling them.
So the question is, would you guys pay for a gameboard hand made, over the citadel realm of battle ones?
TA has nothing to do with my 40k, what is this noise D:
So I'm getting the sense that FP is basically imperium scum?

I wouldn't pay because I'd make one myself, heh. But try making one, see how it turns out, and then try to find out if anyone at your FLGS is interested. Keep a picture folio with you.
send a message to the Blue Table Painting guy, he seems friendly enough to point out how the finances of the hobby flow.
