    Song Lyrics:
    "It's the Guardsman’s life for us
    It's the Guardsman’s life for us
    'Stead of Rations
    We get Got
    'Stead of Armor
    We get Shot
    It's the Guardsman’s life
    Don't if feel like the Squad is always dying?
    Don't it seem like the Armor never fits?
    Every day, there’s another execution
    And Space Marines take all the credit!
    No one's there when the enemy starts blasting
    No one cares if you Live or if you Die
    Grim-Dark life
    No-Peace life
    No-Respite life
    Only-War life
    Emperor we never see
    Emperor, what's that?
    Who's he?
    Victory or Defeat
    For the grinder, You’re just Meat
    It's the Guardsman’s life
    Fix Bayonets!
    Prepare to charge!
    It's the Guardsman’s life for us
    It's the Guardsman’s life for us
    'Stead of Rations
    We get Got
    'Stead of Armor
    We get Shot
    It's the Guardsman’s life for us
    It's the Guardsman’s life for us
    No one cares for you a bit
    When you're a White-Shield-Kid
    It's the Guardsman’s life
    It's the Guardsman’s life"

    This video might be exactly why I pity the imperial guard but also why they're my favorite. When your sci-fi world has a faction where they send some random dudes to fight cosmic horror with disposable equipment but somehow actually holding the line, that faction already has my heart.

      _And_ if there’s a third party involved in the fighting, it’s fairly easy to bribe Orks into attacking said party (So long as you’re prepared to fight off the Orks using said bribe against you later on, but sometimes you have to go with the lesser evil).

      ​@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire There's actually a situation where Imperial Guard and Orks worked together to fight off a Tyranid invasion, and genuinely meshed well together as Ork ferocity and Imperial decipline complimented each other really well. It's actually a pretty cool moment where both sides worked together for a common goal and genuinely seemed to kinda respect one another. The book's called Enemy of my Enemy in case you wanted to check it out.

    The inquisitor sipping tea after dropping a planet buster gets me every time. Edit: Upon rewatching this for the 30th time, I had a thought, the inquisitor declared exterminatus because the guardsmen was shaking with fear, and the emperor protects, so I shall know no fear is part of their prayer. The guardsmen committed heresy by being afraid.

      Catachan player here, I only ever lost 1 game. I still call bs on it. If you're in a 1v1v1 match and your two enemies go into melee, you should be allowed to gun them down. The only match I ever lost, this was back in the days when you could set up and not move your army, a Cadian player and CSM player tag teamed me in a 1v1v1 match, going into melee with each other than not rolling hits just to prevent me from shooting at their infantry because "can't shoot at units in melee" until the Chaos boys got close enough to melee my imps. It was utter bs. Only kills I got was a Chaos tank, 2 Chimeras, 1 Basilisk, 3 Sentinels and 3 Leman Russ. I'm still sore about that bulls**tery.
      Of course, I never won a match either, just draw after draw after bloody draw. Seems like we never had the time to actually finish a match or get done enough for a clear victor to be decided.
