Thanks, and it's no problem! For Ole papa palpy I used Army painter black primer spray can. Applied 2 coats of thinned army painter matte black to everything except the face and hands. I used army painter pale corpse to color the skin. I used citadel nuln oil to apply a wash to the face and hands being careful to wipe away excessive pooling on the face. I wanted just enough to highlight his features. once those dried I applied a matte varnish to every thing except his bow tie and cane, which were varnished in gloss.

Thank you for info!

Has anyone had a chance to test him out? I made an army with him, 3 guards and 3 storm troopers, I feel like it may not be the strongest list. Anyone who's used him, I'd love to hear how he works.

Have you tried substituting another unit of IRG in? (replaces all the DLTs, and Extra Stormtroopers)

He'd have to drop something from the emperor tp get an extra point to fit the same squad in or drop recon intel.

Fair enough, I think he can afford to have one of 4 units a little further behind.

Do you find royal guard that much better than Stormtroopers? Their range is much worse and their dice are a little better. It's easier for the stormies to aim aand shoot and hang out in cover. The DLT is so good and once you lose a guard or two they seem to lose quite a bit of punch. Just wondering why you remove what makes the stormtroopers amazing to squeeze in a fourth royal guard unit

The game plan would be to rush into melee (where they have a decided advantage, and can’t be shot at, and where there’s no DLT).

Stormtroopers in this grouping are just there because you can’t have less than 3, and to capture points maybe.
