A friend and classmate asked me to sketch an Imperial Guardsman after watching me draw yet another reptilian hybrid (one with the M82-like sniper rifle is the exact sketch). Thanks to him, I did so with, yet again, more references.

My own IG Regiment, hailing from the hive world of Corinth, wears this uniform. I picked the doctrines as being Carapace Armour, Grenadiers, Iron Discipline, Sanctioned Psykers and Storm Trooper Squads just to have fun with an elite shock company. Who wouldn't have fun with special forces?

This guy is wearing Carapace Armour with a helmet, more or less based off the marine helmets in Halo, with an HUD. And if you noticed his legs being too short, give yourselves a break - the guy is wearing something similar to what the romans had underneath their armour, albeit another colour (likely red in honour of Macedon). The lasgun is unmodified.

I personally understand that I need to work on his left hand as it looks like a piece of junk and possibly his sling (the lazy Sergeant)

All references were made from the Warhammer 40,000: Imperial Guard Codex (carapace armour & lasgun) and Halo: Combat Evolved (helmet with HUD)

Looks like a Guardsman from any number of outer rim worlds. All of which are just cannon fodder for the Emperor. Maybe it’s just the skirt but he looks a little stumpy. Perhaps there is reason to visit his world to check for mutations in the gene pool...

:-) John L Morgan replies: "I favour the Imperials. However, Corinth is more of a seemingly unimportant blackwater world technically not used by the Imperium. As such, Corinthians are renegades using equipment bought off from the Imperium. No madman of an Imperial would be in the right mind to go to Corinth anyways.
I’m pretty sure Commisar Ibram Gaunt would have put it as their philosophy: "No man is expendible in any field."

When I saw this, a quote instantly popped in to my head:"Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life." I would also like to add:"For those who seek perfection there can be no rest on this side of the grave." I was very happy too see some WH40K work. Nice sketch, but you need to work and practice more,as we all do...

:-) John L Morgan replies: "I’ll admit that this image is a little old - I drew the guy when I was in the later half of Grade 9. However, I do appreciate the comment"
