Today I would like to highlight another local army that has really turned the heads of the Fly Lords. Robert's Mordian guard army is just a spectacular piece of work. From it's crisp meticulous paint scheme, to its all metal old-school coolness factor, this army is a pleasure to face both on the tabletop, or just sitting on display. Plus, those nine las-cannons never hurt...
Please take a look, and leave comments for Robert. I'm sure he wants to know what you all think of his work.
Robert is from Grapevine, Texas, but is currently a student of UT, living in Austin, Texas. He’s been playing Warhammer 40K since the release of third edition in the 90s, and owns a 2,000 point Dark Eldar army, an 1,850 point Tau army, a 2,000 point Imperial Guard army, and a 3,000 point Chaos army. One of his favorite armies is his Mordian Imperial Guard army. He started his Mordians because he knew it would be very challenging to paint, but that once it was finally finished, it would be totally unique and an impressive sight to behold. The paint scheme of his army was taken heavily from the dress uniform of the United States Marine Corps, as is fitting for this particular regiment. Robert’s army has had many successes in fighting, and has been to a Chicago GT and other battlefields across the country, from LA to Baltimore. Currently he is working on updating his Thousand Sons army to the new Chaos Codex.

Very impressive. The choice to paint Mordian's in the Dress Blues of the US Marine Corps was inspired and very well executed. (esp the freehand banners) Kudos!
Nice work!
The color scheme is solid and looks great on table top.
And I have to agree that those nine Las Cannons look very effective...

well done, Robert. When might you do a leman russ?
Very nice job.
Makes me want to get to work on the 3500 points of Dark Angels I've been building non-stop.
nicely done.
is it 2000 points?
Guess I need to actually finish an army. :/
Good job, Robert's Chaos army looks great too. Hell all his painting looks great.
well rob you already know what i think. kick ass.
Hey robert!!! I remember those guys. They were a powerhouse up here in grapevine. Say hi to him from Jake!
I have always thought the Mordians were ultra Kool, now I remember why.
Great job, they are looking good!

Hey Robert, your use of white and yellow sets every model off and ties the whole force together. Awesome!
Oh, and I love the Commisar. He looks completely bad-ass!
Drool...
Man I wish I hadn't sold my Mordians all those years ago....they weren't even close to paint quality on these, but I never really missed them till now.
i can only say one thing. man, that's a lotta lascannons :)
Those are so painted so well that you can officially have my babies. If you can find out who I am. (This is Chris)
Great work Robert, I've always appreciated all the painting tips you've given me.
Btw robert doesn't roll well enough to make 9 lascannons deadly :P

Nice Job on the Army. I wish Mine were half as well painted.
It looks amazing!! I wanna play!
Wow! As a big fan of mordians this really is nice one! I'm building infarty based mordian army myself, with rough riders...
Man, I'd love to face that with my Imperial Guard army any day! Shoot, I'm gonna go run out and buy those models I was thinkin' bout getting today!
What are you doing??? Beating the crap out of anyone who plays you?
very impressive army. this is the first time i have seen an entire mordian army fully completed. btw are you still a ut student? i am a student at ut as well. do you know of any groups on campus that play?
Mike, if you're still keeping an eye on this, I'm still a UT student, but I'm unfortunately unaware of any on-campus groups that play.
There are two gaming stores in Austin that bring in a lot of warhammer players. I'm not sure what Dragon's Lair's game nights are, but a lot of people go to Battleforge games at Anderson Village on Thursdays and Friday nights.
