Rangers lead the way!

So I have been trying to concentrate on getting some work done on my Imperial guard army. For those of you that don't know, my army is called The 101st Cadian airborne Rangers. Largely based on the American 101st airborne division as well as the US Army Rangers. There was three main inspirations for my army, and I try to incorporate a little bit of each into the appearance and the way I play the army. The first being the novel Band of Brothers, which is about the 101st airborne operations in WWII, more specifically Easy(or E) company. This is incorporated in the army in the largest way. The army was given the drop troop doctine and have tiny spades painted on there helmets, as well as officers being names form those in E company. The second inspiration was from one of my favorite all time movies, Black Hawk Down. My army incorporates lots of storm troopers and carapace armory as well as the veteran doctrines. This gives an elite feel to the army, such as the US army rangers. The last inspiration to my army was a Game, First to Fight, more specifically one of the available options in the Game, mortar and sniper support. I have included 2 mortar teams in my army as well as infiltrating(light infantry) squads equipped with sniper rifles this are my Path finders.

More latter!
