Bulk Painting Imperial Guard

Hi there guys ive been working on the rest of my imperial guardsmen and have just finished all of their fabric areas, i chose to bulk paint them by using a foundation coat and then successive highlights using a quick dry brushing technique, so here is the pic;


Due to the release of the new warhammer 40k rulebook and the impressive new rules that they have added you may be seeing quite a few different armies and units in my blog in the near future, one of the concepts I'm most looking forward to is the allied units selection option. this is where you can have a unit from another army included in your army, this depicts the different factions forming unsteady yet fortunate (and brief) alliances with one another in the face of overwhelming or catastrophic odds. this will be very fortuitous for my imperial guard army, if i understand the concept and rules correctly from what i have heard (as i dont own a copy of the new rulebook as of yet) then i will be able to include any troop choice from any of the armies available. as such, the fact that the imperial guard lack a close combat aspect, they will probably benefit from a squad of space marines close combat terminators or a squad or eldar banshees, or even a venerable dreadnaught with close combat weapons. the choises are infinate and mindblowing. so watch this space for more interesting posts and warhammer awesomeness!!

also, i have a picture of something im working on at the moment, its only in the very early stages of developement and as such i dont want to give too much away, but ive just converted my shed into a workshop specificaly for this project so that should give you some idea of the scale and epicness of the project!! so here is the pic, enjoy!!;
