Full Army Photo
The 99th Steel Legion is an elite Imperial Guard regiment made up entirely of veterans from the Second and Third Wars for Armageddon. Suitingly, they are equipped with a huge range of incredibly destructive weaponry that they have all well mastered. Plasma guns, Meltaguns and Demolisher cannons are common among the ranks of this assault force.
Over the years, Orks, Tau and Traitors alike have learned to fear the 99th's fearsome convoys.

Why I Started This Army
After getting annoyed of failing to take down Space Marine Terminators, Ork Nobz and any armour value 14 vehicles with my Tyranids, I decided to create a hard-hitting, ranged army that could take on those units.
My first though was an Armageddon Steel Legion; I love infantry with gasmasks and Leman Russ tanks, and both can take tons of AP 2 weaponry! So, I built the 99th Steel Legion, and have sucessfully blasted apart countless Space Marine Terminators, Ork Nobz and armour value 14 vehicles with its firepower.
Sadly, Tau have railguns that can annihilate my armoured units with impunity. But that's why there's smoke launchers, and cover on the table!
Death to the enemies of the Imperium! For Armageddon!
