Do It Yourself Guard Regiment Kit

I have the first draft of a DIY kit for designing Imperial Guard Regiments at http://iceriverguards.info/DIY_Imperial_Guard

I would welcome feedback - do y'all find stuff like this useful?

VERY USEFUL!!! Thanks for the effort... VERY cool! I like making my own background (I think is the best part of !) but you may not believe how many times I got stuck in the middle of it. Now, I have a place to go and jump-start my creation. THANKS!!!!


You just earned a Sticky Thread!

So what you're telling me is I should go ahead and finish the versions for Orks, Tau, Chaos Marines, Dark Eldar, and Eldar I have in various states of completeness

That would be really cool. Really enjoyed the guard version (though buttons to switch through the different sections would be nice).

While I would never randomly roll to make a background, it is interesting to see all the elements for a background in one place.

This is awesome and perfect for people who can't make decisions, like me. I am totally doing this for both my Cadians and my Catachans.

THANKS! I will post results later.

Thanks for the feedback! I will add links like that to each page when I get a sec.

Meanwhile, If you go to the "Army Design" tap in the main navigation and mouse over the DIY Fluff kit link, each page is in the navigation.

Awesome resource for background building! The only thing that could make it better is to turn into a webform so people can do it all online (random generate or not, pick things etc) and then create a pdf or so of it.

It's a good idea, but I will be honest it's something that will have to wait. I am a computer programmer/analyst for a living - I don't want to spend my time off doing coding too. If I get a bug in my ear, I might but there are other hobby projects I want to do first.

I do have the entire article as a Word Document - perhaps I should make it available as a PDF for download, that way people can use it off-line

If you do, please let me know. I will post an announcement on the Download section with a link to your site (not to the document), so people get to see your place and other stuff too!

I know what you mean, I'm a webdeveloper/designer for a living but when I get home I mostly don't feel like sitting behind my computer for work. Only for reading the forum!
