    I missed your videos where you customize a large batch of models, especially your Kill team style videos. Those were in my opinion some of your best work. And if you want some ideas for customizing guardsmen, well I have quite a few for you. But i'll stick to suggesting one for now.
    There is a regiment that I made for an Only War campaign quite some time ago that I've always wanted to see represented on the tabletop, and I think you would do them justice. They are a religious warrior culture who honor the imperium but translate their fervor into honing their prowess, skill, and veterancy in the field of combat. Die hard warriors who are not allowed to return from the field of battle until they have slain a foe, be this by bloodying their blades or bringing back a piece of the foe. They specialize in melee combat, but will utilize range when neccessary.

    My current regiment is the Deamrian Valarian Rifles. They are originally a PDF regment drafted into the Imperal guard. They are noted for their light armor utilizing only a simple flack vest, cadian styled helmit and long coats. They often prefer their own factorum created auto guns and pistoles, though as time has gone on they have come to integrate lass guns into the regment. They specialize in cold weather and forest warfare. With experience fighting asemetrical warfare as well as Orks.

    The lore justification could be that the forces of Slaneesh have invaded an Eldar Craftworld and are winning, but Tzeentch forces (such as the Thousand Sons or other Tzeentch-aligned forces) offer to help the Eldar for a price. Eventually, they pledge their loyalty to Tzeentch in an attempt to avoid Slaneesh. That's all I can think of for a justification.

    @Pete, what about a Necromunda studio build? I bet a form of UA-cam or Twitch exist in 40K. Gotta have a nice setup for it too. Maybe some bodyguards to deal with the “fans” as well?
