The Codex: Imperial Guard is an expansion book for the Games Workshop Table Top game Warhammer 40,000. This book was published for the first time in 1999, and is for the 3rd edition of Warhammer 40,000.
This was the second codex the Imperial Guard received and had a general army list which could be tailored through using fluff and background information. It included a large number of tanks and vehicles, most of which were dropped in the later 4th edition codex. It also had a much reduced number of Special Characters, removing for example, Al'rahem of the Tallarn Desert Raiders.
The book has 49 pages and the cover is printed in colour while the majority of the book remains in black and white, although there are several pages of colour images of miniatures.
