Oh I know it's sometimes I just can't even tell if he's f****** with us or not, not in this video in particular but just in the past I found myself sitting there like I'm know this is none since it has to be but damn I just can't tell with him if he understands or not LOL
Take a guardsman with ultimate faith in the Emperor, an angry Kriegsman with a shovel, and the man the myth the legend that is Sly Marbo. Have Mr Creed hide them unexpected behind the nearest potted plant, and instill them all with the kind of motivation that you only get once commissar Ciaphas Cain looks at you funny and his aide Jurgen sticks his Melta Gun in your face.
Thank you so much for doing this one! It's always fun to go over the meme list that should really be an appendix of the actual Uplifting Primer, by now. I never expected Guard to be made as competitive as they are now, what with every other faction needing to be able to threaten them, and justify the existence of the Space Marines, and I have no idea if 10e will "reset" them to a more middling, benchmark level, but for now they get to live up to a lot of these memes, and I love it!
@@primalreversion7034 I totally agree with that, but sometimes feel that they do, anyway, in much the same way that they do for sales/profits, or at least I feel that was, in part, how Guard worked for many years prior to their current success. I certainly could be wrong; I don't play competitively, and much of my takes on things is merely influenced by the words of such content creators, but it's my take on it, anyway.
@@venkelos6996 Astra Militarum isn't a joke in lore either, it's based on misunderstandings because their soldiers are weaker on an individual level. They find strength in numbers and it actually seriously does work
@@primalreversion7034 Oh sure. I've been a Guard fan since 4e, so I feel I know how good Guard can be. On the other hand, their 9e showing does seem to be a bit more impressive than they often had been, in the past, and some of the silly memes that xan make them famous are legit things they can do, right now. 😊 For me, the issue with Guard has always been GW; they aren't Space Marines, and so they don't get the attention. They do better than certain Xenos factions, certainly, but they often feel more like a benchmark force; what other armies have to be better then because, in the lore, they threaten the Imperium, and the Guard is what that means they fight. Their ability to best the infinite, faceless masses of Mankind is what justifies the Astartes, which is the big seller of GW. In other times, Guard were a legit horde army, like Orks and Nids are/were, which meant a big investment for bunch of disposable dudes, or some tanks that played like monsters, with just enough guys you didn't really use, just to bubble wrap up Saud tanks, and keep them in the game. I'm not saying they sucked, or that they can't still field this way now, only that they are definitely, in my opinion, in the best spot they've been for editions, and years. And it might not last; when various factions got their 9e codex, they ruled the meta for a while, before getting nerfed into shape. 10e could do that to them; I don't know, but I'll be happy that, at least for now, they seem to be in a great place, even if it means you have a few auto-include options, which means other stuff almost never gets picked, until they dumb it down, and let Astartes become THE faction, again.
What Bayonets?!! The new guard box basiclly doesn't have any, and the sets that do have them only has one...ONE MODEL that has a bayonet at the end of a his lasgun, *cough* *cough* Cadian Upgrade Spure *cough* *cough*
I was laughing SO HARD as I saw this video all the way from beginning to the end! What an absolute riot that was! xD Many thanks for making my day, good sir. Truly.... :)
You have a comedic sensibility with the way you deliver the jokes Your channel is generally amazing, but seeing how much of a humour master you are makes me wanna praise you even more
My personal favorite Krieg mini (who I have lovingly named Hanz Shovelson) unfortunately lost his bayonet when charging a chaos titan. Due to the Emperors will (and some VERY lucky melee rolls) he was able to take the titan down and win the battle.
Hanz standing truimphant in the ruins of a smouldering titan: "Sadly, the forces of chaos have denied me my glorious death. But by the Emperors will, I will have it, even if I must wrestle it from the gods themselves!"
I sure am glad this is just an April Fool's joke and that I can enjoy my brand new Guard codex for many more years and enjoy GW's newest line of Valhallans.
Catachan are the best and I will hear no argument to that. Think games workshop needs to do more with their traitor guard though, ngl they could make mental dollar by releasing a box of both but givin enough supplies to build all as loyal or traitor (that and I need more supplies in my bits box)
Guard is the worst army in the whole GW game. They force you to pay thousands of dollars on minis only to lose within 3 turns. Personally they should remove guard form the game so they can stop scamming customers.
Wait five years for a new codex, buy it at full price, learn a month later that this brand new pricey codex have just 2 month of life before it's useless. Yep, that's the GW we all know and love
Guard Auto-wounding on 6's over intercessors is ridiculous. Guard soldiers are dime a dozen, not special, and are basing material for real models. If anyone was born and bred to be soldiers, it's primaris intercessors. Literally.
I think of commisars this way. Either you stand and fight, and MAYBE survive the charge of incoming Chaos Marines... OR You try to run, and guarantee that your commissar shoots you for cowardice. The difference? One of these options offers a chance of survival.
people always forget that the Imperial Guard are actually professional, well trained, and well equipped compared to MOST things a planet in 40k is going to deal with. It's just that the nature of our fandom focuses on the 1% of battles involving the biggest baddasses you can find in this dimension or the next. Sure the lasgun sucks when compared to a demonically posessed automatic grenade launcher but it's actually a formidable weapon against "normal" humans.
Have your read Hill's Minka Lesk novels. They have some pacing issues but tell strong stories about the last of the Imperium's most famous infantry regiments.
"THEY'RE GAINING, BROTHER" says a CSM biker as a bunch of Guardsmen run at them with 14" move had me stitches Auspex you absolute legend
I actually had to take a screenshot and send it to a friend who plays space marines lol
“…and oh no here’s the commissar I’d better”
AUSPEX NOOOO
Auspex, you’re not exactly known for your humor, but Jesus. The dry delivery and clever setups through this whole video was hilariously perfect!
Dry British wit is a national prestige export of the UK.
The gamebreakors video is still one of my favorites
Oh I know it's sometimes I just can't even tell if he's f****** with us or not, not in this video in particular but just in the past I found myself sitting there like I'm know this is none since it has to be but damn I just can't tell with him if he understands or not LOL
not known for his humour? did you watch his wargamer guides? Or meme faction guides? "Either you play Space Marines or one of the NPC factions".
As a Brit this is literally how our humour is, we’re honestly worse than Germans for it 💯
Man it sucks that that Commisar executed Auspex on sight I really liked this channel. I hope he's a perpetual so we still have this awesome channel
@@CalebGrizmode did you forget to switch alts?
No there was a bot that deleted it's comment after saying I won stuff if I gave my credit card cx

This line up would probably be the A-Team of Warhammer 40k.
A catachan jungle fighter, Krieg marine, and Cadian veteran walk into a bar. Nothing else is left to exterminatus as a result
The ending is perfect. Hope Auspex is okay 😂😂
Ya great ending lol
Confirmed, Auspex Tactics is Tony Soprano.
Gotta love those shovel memes
Kriegers for the win
Gotta hate those shovel memes
Steel Legion for the win
Gotta love the razorwire mems
Tyranic War Veterans for the win
@@anexistanthuman2435
Ahh it's okay my Steel Legion army is run as both so I get the best of werhmact, gasmask noises and shovel memes

They aren't supposed to make armies weaker or stronger depending on how powerful they would be if their tabletop armies were fielded in lore.

@@venkelos6996 I, as a fellow Guard player, don't really see this issue. They're in the best spot an army can be: powerful, but not too powerful.
"When the man in the fancy hat tells you to do the Imposible... You DO the Impossible! HOO-RAH!" ~A guardsman, probably...
The single best ending to an auspex video yet
The fucking cutoff at the end afddhshffj
Killed it on April fools Day, auspex. Loved it.
What Bayonets?!! The new guard box basiclly doesn't have any, and the sets that do have them only has one...ONE MODEL that has a bayonet at the end of a his lasgun, *cough* *cough* Cadian Upgrade Spure *cough* *cough*
Only one meme missing by the very end: the Jeanstealer Cults!
Don't you know? They stole it. That's what happens when enough crossfire tokens get on something.
damn i didn't realize the tyranids really just needed some apple bottom jeans lets give them some and so they can be chilling
I have been waiting for this
THE WALL OF GUNS
-primarch corvus corax
I love when you do these kinds of videos.
Very based and funny as always. Woulda been hilarious with a gunshot sound effect at the end too
Nah, the absence of sound leaves it to the imagination lol, makes it funnier
This was perfect in every way.
This was fun, please do the other faction 😂
Agreed. We need some proper memery for all of the factions with a solid base to work from. (Which is most of them.)
ghazkull better go Krork and krump angron like a bug for what he did to Ol bale eye
I woke up, looked at the date, and thought “auspex video 👀”
One day well get rules for the lost and the damned. They'll update them any day now.
I was laughing SO HARD as I saw this video all the way from beginning to the end! What an absolute riot that was! xD
Many thanks for making my day, good sir. Truly.... :)
Lol auspex got blammed 😂
nice ending
Haha oh no here’s the commissar!!😂
best video i have ever seen
The power of tactical rocks
That's sound great!
Hey Auspex, you have a white back!
So much fun!
I do wondered if the guy that made up the autowound on 6s is fired yet...
It was Cruddace, it's always Cruddace
Any more meme guides for the rest of the day?
Lol. I'm going to need 2 hellguns for this HERESY!
Love this!
We need möre funnies from you
Great!
Rest in peace 😢
Where Chemdogs
comment for the Skull Throne
Best faction.
I assumed the last video was the April Fools video.
You seem to be talking mad shit for someone in shovel range.
'Based' Mordian Glory c.2023
Screen grabbing all these memes fyi
Add a comment...78
I knew it! I knew Auspex wouldn’t let an April Fool’s Day pass without a video…
As a former infantry men, I can confirm.
Fancy hat guys yelling at us does make us run faster then you'd think possible 😅
Are you from the U.K?
“Oh no here’s the commissar I better-“ the dry delivery that matches all your other videos makes this line all the funnier
almost as good as Luetins "never mind that best get on with your work"
You have a comedic sensibility with the way you deliver the jokes
Your channel is generally amazing, but seeing how much of a humour master you are makes me wanna praise you even more
"...the Ratlings, fresh back from taking the ring to Mordor."
Amazing.
$147.50 for 5 Deathriders? Was there a sale on or something?
bro shit like is why i won't be getting into tabletop anytime soon i aint got cash like that 😭😭😭😭

It’s really sad that the only regiments anybody seems to care about are cadia and krieg. I want Vostroyans and Tallarns back.
I want Steel Legion and new Catachans too. I'd compromise for some Chemdogs.
Attilans are pretty epic atm
@@nebiros_at9473 I really wanted steel legion if i get into guard.
Gib Elysians and Steel Legion back GW
I didnt see the 1st tanith in that video
seems like their camo cloaks worked!
I can’t wait for this meme guide for tenth edition to come out…😂😂😂
Brilliant work
Does that mean we're not getting a new Primaris marine squad reveal by AT today?
7:55 Tallaran so forgotten, they don't even show up in the image of forgotten regiments 🥲
honestly i've always thought Valhallans are more forgotten than tallaran
Looks like the Praetorians are suffering this fate too.
I sure am glad this is just an April Fool's joke and that I can enjoy my brand new Guard codex for many more years and enjoy GW's newest line of Valhallans.
I... Wish. I really wish.😢
Catachan are the best and I will hear no argument to that. Think games workshop needs to do more with their traitor guard though, ngl they could make mental dollar by releasing a box of both but givin enough supplies to build all as loyal or traitor (that and I need more supplies in my bits box)
Ciaphas Cain should get a model
Happy April Fool's day!

Bait surely 😂
This but Primarines and unironically
Waiting all week for this uplaod
Wait five years for a new codex, buy it at full price, learn a month later that this brand new pricey codex have just 2 month of life before it's useless.
Yep, that's the GW we all know and love
Just remember that you can buy minis from Warhammer Historical and convert them!
*Cries in Steel Legion fan as they got no section here and rarely get any love from GW*
Ow, meme guide! Nice. Auspex, thx for the content!
i'll miss auspex tactics, the very informative videos couldn't save him from the commisar.

You have no idea how space marines are made, do you?
Lol Guard wall of lasers go BRRRR
9:54 f in the chat for Auspex Tactics
You should actually do this for every faction
I think of commisars this way.
Either you stand and fight, and MAYBE survive the charge of incoming Chaos Marines...
OR
You try to run, and guarantee that your commissar shoots you for cowardice.
The difference? One of these options offers a chance of survival.

Arnt they going to be essentially unplayable in 10th if they can only use 6 units of infantry troops?
5 years with no codex sucks, but as a Dark Eldar player I gotta say it: 12 years no Codex.
I dunno infantry heavy armies are looking pretty good with born soldiers, it lets you do some pretty silly stuff with lasguns
People shit on the lasgun yet they’re still like 100x stronger then anything we have irl today ._.
The Russian Invasion of Ukraine is what the Imperial Guard looks like in real life.
No excessive penetration mention over here..but still plenty of chuckles.
If number 1 isn't "wait a full edition to get updated rules just to get outdated months later" then idk what it could be
“After all, why not fall to chaos?” Auspex tactics 2023
Didn't see the finale joker coming. Neither did you XD
"They're taking the Ratlings to Medrengard!"

Auspex April fools always a banger
As a pyro TF2 player... I love the Kriegsmen.
there's no mention of sentinels because they'd all walked off
The thing is that the Imperial Guard is hands down the main army the Imperium of Man has by far on ground wars. And they are normally forgotten
That god damn dry British humor man it’s my weakness
hope to see more faciton memes in the future
I require one of these style of videos a week!
I larfed :D But you neglected to mention Steve.
A meme guide without tts voice? How low have we fallen
Cadia Sands
Plzzzzz yeeees
Please make this format for loyalist space marine
i'd love to see one of these for all factions.
Ratlings taking the ring to mordor 🤣☠️
1:02 the yellow one is pointed the wrong way
We are the hammer of the Emperor!
He's BLAM'med :( Noooooo
