After arming my WORMS and Motor Vipers, I decided to finally break out my 100 Imperial Guards as well. My guards once again have another nice assortment of Marauder weapons: 20 Lugers 20 mini AK-47s 20 AK-47/74 Assault Rifles w/BAYONETS & Removable Ammo clips 20 PUMP SHOTGUNS and 20 HK SOCOM "MARK23" Automotic Pistols w/ Silencer http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa94/eddiegilbert/100imperial.jpg http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa94/eddiegilbert/100imperial001.jpg http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa94/eddiegilbert/100imperial-rows1.jpg http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa94/eddiegilbert/100imperial-rows2.jpg http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa94/eddiegilbert/100imperial-rows3.jpg http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa94/eddiegilbert/100imperial-rows4.jpg http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa94/eddiegilbert/100imperial-rows5.jpg |

Thanks! It's not as impressive looking as those who have a large collection of a single rare & vintage army builder, but it was still really cool to see something like that in person. They were easy to get, as it wasn't a popular set. This army was made possible by Amazon clearancing the Procession 6-packs for $4.00 back in 2006

YEAH! As lazy as the actual recipe Hasbro used to make those guys into figures was, they look intimidating as hell in huge numbers. And that IS a HUGE quantity of figure!

Granted, I'm not one much for most "stand em in a line" type displays anymore, but it's always neat to see what the various different Viper types look like when set up en masse with others of their same type. Nice touch with the "mirrored" posing on the guys in the front row.

So I had to go with a 10x10 setup which worked out better anyway. I went with the mirrored display due to the flag bearers. I couldn't have one guard holding the flag in front of the guard next to him
