Tanith 1st need models to make them an actual army... I'd have bought the shit out of them over the Cadians I have any day.

I mean, they kinda do? It's only a single squad though. If you were dedicated though, get some 28mm alternates from another wargame that look similar enough, get some model camo-netting from your local hobby shop, and get to work.

Or, if you've got disposable cash, try the Border World Rangers from Victoria Miniatures.

[Baltenstein]

If you are looking for cheap Scots, try the Highlander infantry from Victrix.

Just give them different heads, Lasgun arms, camo cloaks and paint them in a different color scheme and presto.

Could also be played as Drookian Fen Guard, who are even more Scots in Space than Tanith. Most fitting Regimental Doctrine would be Tallarn.

Question for the professionals; would Slaaneshi be welcoming of STD's, like Nerglites, or would they be purist and avoid them at all cost?

Tanith don't really wear kilts or anything stereotypically Scottish though. Maybe their caps but that's about it. Bagpipe would help to make Milo though.

STI's aren't fun or pleasurable, so I'd think they'd be pretty against it. Though a Nurgle/Slannesh pleasure cult that revolves around getting and spreading as many STI's as possible would be a fun plot for a Dark Heresy campaign.

You can buy tanith models iirc, but not that many and its quite dear i think. Its mainly the main characters from the books, and i think only one or two regular tanith soldier models.

Not even mainly the main, if I remember it's just Gaunt, Milo, Bragg, and Corbec. The rest are just rando's

So you're really limited in what book you can set you regiment, then

It was the old Doc and and Larkin as well, have a copy of Chapter Approved from 2003 that had rules for running the Tanith in early 3rd Edition (damn I feel old).

What is the Regimental Doctrine for the Tallarn?

Found a good stand-in for the tanith that's totally not 40k the manufacturers super double promise please don't sue. $50 USD though.

"Fusion Gun"

Same company makes Not-Chem Dogs, Not-Mords, and a few others, I think Baltenstein's linked to them a couple times before too.

What is the Regimental Doctrine for the Tallarn?

Tallarn infantry can advance and shoot their weapons (except heavy weapons) with no penalty, their vehicles can move and still shoot heavy weapons as if stationary, their tank order allows tanks to move, shoot, then move again, their stratagem allows up to three units to begin the game in reserve and enter it from a table edge of your choice, and their warlord trait allows infantry to move out of a melee and then charge right into it again.
All in all, they're super-elusive guerilla fighters, fitting for Tanith.
Their playstyle sounds interesting as it is considerably different from the usual "stand at the back and shoot at everything" the Guard is known for.

[Trollgaard]

Well, I've been 'out' of 40k for a year, but the bug has gotten me again. I'm going to start a new guard army, and theme is this: Gauls in space with mammoths.

The mammoths will be proxy leman russ' with howdahs with all sorts of guns on them. I've ordered 6 mammoths, and once they arrive I can start fiddling around creating howdahs for them with appropriate guns.

The troops will be based of warlord games celts, and the upcoming victrix celts, with guns, obviously, and once I get them I will see how mixing in Catachan and/or Cadian bits will look with them.

The upcoming victrix celt cavalry will make for glorious rough riders, of which there will be a minimum of 40. I want at least 60 infantry as well (probably add a hundred to that), and to back all this up some imperial knights for the lelz. Luckily I already have a knight paladin, will soon have a warden, and I am looking for a forgeworld knight porphyrion as well. How all these dudes will fit into a 2kish force I have no idea, but I'll make it work.

Didn't rough riders get a hefty whack with the nerf-baton and fall into virtual unusability? Or am I misremembering that?

Well, as far as I know they can't receive orders, but their rules in the index, which you can still use as far as I know, are good enough where I don't think they will need orders. They can come in at will from the flanks and cause havoc.

[Baltenstein]

Outflanking Rough Riders with Meltaguns make for decent tank and large creature hunters actually.

This may revise my army plans.

Was looking at doing an army based on the LRDG with lots of Salamander Scouts given the free-form army options.

8th Rough Riders are actually a pretty good choice for Guard if you need that sort of speedy, beefy(somewhat), outflanking anti-tank unit. They are definitely going to die but they have a place. Better than 7th.

Oh how awful. Did the battle at least end quickly?

Slaughtered for sure you say, tsk tsk tsk. Well, how's his wife holding up?

Slaughtered for sure you say.

It's all Magnus's fault. Seriously. Sincerely. Honestly. If Magnus hadn't done what he'd done, the Galaxy would've been better off.
