Hey! This sounds like a great idea! I'd be up for throwing my regiment into a hodge-podge army of sorts. I have just started putting together my army...mostly drop troops with a good helping of Colonal Shaffer! (The 13th legion has joined the 750th Omega drop Corps to fulfill yet another suicide mission no doubt!) ;D

Woohoo thanks Commissar Kommandant Chew, some one who's up for it.

I personally think that a crusade against the Tau would be a good starting point for our community regiment. We could even have the Ordos Xenos in it.

Right so whats the deal with the crusade i need a bit of clarification?

if your talking about combining forces under grim, then how is that different to the armies section of his site?
Is the difference that it will actually do something? if so how will that work. Are we to beat up on the tau/ork/nid etc boards?

This doesn’t make much sense to me, as far as i'm aware a fair few regiments from this board are combined in the EoT campaign (although i'm not) so how do you explain the movements of so many regiments? especially if the EoT is the make or Break sector of the galaxy?

so many questions need clarification
But anyway it intrigues me and i'll be up for it.

This was just a suggestion.  If people are not interested in creating a Community Crusading Force, then no one is forcing you to.  

One reason I think it is a good idea, is for creating a community beyond just the internet.  Imagine if you will several memebers of the community going to games day with similarly painted armies or with a crusade badge on their figs from the same army.  I think that would be very interesting.

It also gives us a chance to add detail and fluff to armies that might interest other players to start collecting IG.  If I've heard it once, I've heard it too many times "Why don't more people play guard?"  Here is your opportunity to showcase your abilities and maybe draw more people into the IG fold.

What about resurecting the 40th corps? For those who don't know, that was us in EOT hence the reason for my big title, as commander of The Mechanized forces, Gribb was my XO if I remember correctly.......

Starting up the 40th Korps would be the best starting... already has about 25+ armies on the force org. chart and already has some fluff around it with which to expand for this purpose.  I will dig through my computer and try and find the org. chart that we had worked out for it. (strange thing is I was going through some old papers around the computer a couple days ago and I found the original army chart for the Corps.... only had 10 people on it....)

Which ever way you do it, you can count the 5th Descott Guard in.

Will we be having a badge for this regiment? something easy to paint? I'm currently  without an army badge on my guardsmen, so I have  the space to put the  regiment badge in.

We could always design a badge and have water slide transfers made.  There are several companies online that sell the material to create your own water transfers.  

Once the army is up and running, we could probably take up a collection to have these printed up and sent out.  It would probably only be a couple of dollars each to print up enough transfers for everyones regiment.  We would then just have to mail them out to all the members of the army.

I pledge the First Orios to the crusade.

Praise the Emperor
First they came for the Jew's,
but I did not speak up because i was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Protestants,
but I did not speak up because i was not a protestant.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak up for me.

I don't really like transfers as they are alot of hassle, and get scratched off easily, unless you put protective stuff on 'em, which often makes that sholder look really glossy while the rest of the model isn't.

this is off topic, but Karl, why do you always have a picture of a different gun and a short discription of it?

frankly, i don't care much about guns, besides

the M16-A2-203, or the M-40-A1

First off , I don't like the Idea of a Community Regiment ,
Though I do like Gribs Idea of Having each member Take a Picture of there Army (Shrink it) and put them all to gather .

Secondly , the Desert eagle is not that rare of a gun nor unknown by many it is infamous and synonymous with names like Cougar Magnum , ...

Damn man, you need to lighten up a bit. I was just mucking around. Besides, the HK G36 is a better assault rifle than the M16 ;) But, I won't get into a big fight with you over it.
I just like guns, and I decided to put a pic of a gun and a short description every coulple of days or so. I didn't know it would offend anyone.

Narvlen, as for the M-60... it's a possiblity...
Edit: On second thoughts, I won't. I don't like crappy un-reliable guns that break all the time :P (and yes, the M-60 is a crappy unreliable gun that breaks all the time)

yo man, i never said how "Good" the M-16 is
i just like the gun and the controversy it faced in vietnam, and how it is still effective to this day

then again the one in vietnam had full auto, and i think it used ball powder, no?  and i think it was the A-1

i agree, M-60 is nearing the chopping block

M60 was barely adequate to its intended mission, and has some drawbacks: the bipods and the gas chamber were permanently attached to the barrel, so qiuick replacement of the hot barrel in the battle conditions was 'tricky' at least, and required the shooter to wear heat-protecting gloves. The barrel should be changed after 200 rounds of the rapid fire. Another drawback (at least, it is known from my sources) was fragility of many of the parts in the operating group. Key among these, and inherent in the design, was the firing pin, which seemed almost guaranteed to break right behind the forward shoulder. The total acceptance troops of the M60 was not too good.

But it turned even worse when new, lightened variant of the M60, called M60E3, was introduced. The only positive thing that could be said about M60E3 is that it has non-removable gas chamber that beared the non-removavle bipods, and the new barrel had the carrying handle that also was used to replace the barrel. The "lightening" of the construction dramaticlay decreased the reliability of the gun. The new, light barrel was capable of no more than 100 rounds in rapid fire. 200-300 rounds of the rapid fire without replacing the barrel could simply destroy the barrel. The reliability of the M60E3, used by US MC, was even worse than of original M60, and one of the main reasons the US MC adopted FM MAGs as M240D was wery poor acceptance of the M60E3's among the troops.


Basically a shortened version of that: The triggar breaks easily, you have to replace the barrel after every couple of hundred rounds or so, which is very hard, and in order to do that you have to wear heat-resistand gloves.
