The Army Begins

Look what came today:

An Imperial Guard Basilisk Battery boxset from a couple of years ago (now oop) that I found on eBay. It's just the same as 3 normal Basilisks but has an extra sprue with 'command' extras on; basically its an aquilla shaped targeting computer that goes on the side of one of the Basilisks.

Also another great buy:

This came from a guy on eBay who had an old shop, with these beauties in. They must be at least 10 years old, because of some of the OOP stuff in this lot. £150 got me:

HQ 1 x Captain Chenkov.
HQ 2x Lieutenants.
HQ 1x Primaris Psyker.
HQ 2x Commissars.
HQ 4x Special weapons including three comms troopers
Troops 4x Tactical squads.
Troops 2x blisters with troopers and sergeant.
Heavy 4x Heavy weapons, including 3x heavy bolter and 1 lascannon.

So putting this with the rest of my stuff this makes:

Men x50
Sgt x7
Lt x2
Cpt x2
Commissar x3
Primaris Psyker x1
Flamer x6
Grenade x3
Melta x2
Voxcaster x8
Heavy Bolter x3
Lascannon x4
Mortar x7
Basilisk x3

This should be a good start in an awesome army. I think I'll unpack it all and get a look at the challenge I've made for myself.
