Cyber Soldier Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Was looking at the whole Imperial Guard (Cadian) look earlier and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get the old style UK Police riot body armour? Particulatly the torso protector with shoulder pads. Also I was wondeing what sort of carriage kit you think would go well for a guardsman. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hehe, I always chuckle when I see that symbol I think Vietnam-era stuff would make a nice Imperial Guard look, at least as a basis. Link to post Share on other sites
Cyber Soldier Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 I was thinking old ALICE stuff but only on the belt because you rarely see a guardsman with a webbing yolk. Who can deny it is one of the coolest looking symbols EVER!!! VITA IMPERIALIS!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

SwatMP5man Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 In this months Ai mag theres an advert for a company called adventure1, apparently they supply, ARUs, riot police, the SAS and SBS for protection equipment. Give them a look at www.adventure1.com, i'v never dealled with them or looked at the website but may be work a try. Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Its www.adventure1.co.uk unless you want to buy Thai property if they supply ARU and SAS ill run naked through the streets of london... thier an amataur surplus and camping outfit with some plce, and a covert stab vest... theres no useful gear there for a imperial guard loadout, or any, unless you want a sweedish cooking set, or a overpriced steel m1 helmet...

CobaltSky Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Sorry but you'll be disapointed. They have some gear which is used by ARU and SAS but these guys are surplus not suppliers. Link to post Share on other sites

Jagdraben Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I would say pick any Vietnam or WWII era uniform... then make some armor out of ABS or PVC plastic (breast and back plate for a basic Cadian-style load-out)... mold an Imperial Eagle onto the breast plate... take a blocky gun (G36 with VN mags, T-65K2 with VN mags, HK416 with VN mags, G3, FAL, FNC with VN mags, M14, SPAS-12, &c.), throw some webbing on (under the armor) and, poof, insta-guardsman. Sidearms should be worn in belt holsters and should be of WWII vintage or a block machine pistol (ie: MP7, MAC-11, Skorpion, &c.). This basic guardsman can be easily modified for virtually any world by changing the color of the utilities, spray-painting the armor various colors or patterns, changing the pattern of the armor, completely omitting the armor all together (for Catechan, Valhallans, Tallarns, &c.) or increasing the amount of armor (for Kasrkin and Stromtroopers), varying the headgear, honor scrolls and Holy symbols for more seasoned units, Inquisitorial units, more zealous units, &c. Great. Now I want to do an IG load-out instead of a KSK load-out. Of course... once you get down to it, anything would work, given the amount of variability that there is within the Imperium... so long as you've got an Imperial Eagle somewhere prominent, you should be fine. (Or a Chaos symbol, if Traitor Guard.) In His Name Link to post Share on other sites

Treadhead Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 just get some ww2 russian kit and an iperial eagle badge from GW <{POST_SNAPBACK}> oddly enough Valhalla by Manowar just came on winamp as I read that... It must be a sign... that aside though, that'd be bloody good idea though... might get a little hot in the summer though! if i were to go down the cadian route I'd probably make some original armour from fibreglass to get the look just right...

Cyber Soldier Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 The old riot stuff has just the right look for Cadian armour, the shoulder guards are just right with the torso protector. Link to post Share on other sites
Kyrian_Zenda Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Can someone post a picture of the guards you're trying to recreate? I for one have no idea what you're on about and I wouldn't mind seeing what you're aiming for Link to post Share on other sites

Melonfish Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 don't bother with body armour, you want ice hockey armour, it gives you the pectoral plates and the sholder guards, the stomach is usually free and you can crylon it easily. for the helmet, a shelmet (sp?) would look right for a cadian, you can use a paint resi for the mask. fatigues. just standard BDU's plain colours would be better tbh like sand (especially if your going for the pic) high leg boots, then webbing belt with pouches (alice is fine, or OD PLCE) you can use a yoke if you want but its up to you. good luck building the lasgun. pete Link to post Share on other sites
