132nd Mechanised Infantry Divison

The run up to Christmas has been ... err EPIC, in so many ways. I've been buying and selling, painting and stripping, basing and re-basing. Eventually I find myself with four large armies. Two are old ones (my Space Marines and Orks) that have been re-vamped and modernised, whereas two are completely new.

I've always wanted an mechanised Imperial Guard army; the sight of all that infantry, all those transport vehicles and all those tanks makes the Imperial Guard look fantastic upon the battlefield. However, it's all that infantry, all those transport vehicles and all those tanks which has put me off painting the army myself. Last September, I found out that my luck was in: a club mate was selling his huge Imperial Guard army. 

Fantastically painted by a guy called 'Pete', I snapped the army up before anyone else. The army was five infantry stands short of three full infantry blocks; it also needed some objectives. I set to and in no time at all an 8,000 point monster, of an Imperial Guard army, resurfaced ready to take to the battlefield. You can see what's in the army below:
