"10 Space Marines were lost, sir" "That's horrible, our burning angels of vengeance must have foughts valiantly." "Our Imperial Guard forces also lost a rough estimate of 30,000 fatalities, bodies are still coming in..." "When?" "As we speak Genera-" "No. When did I ask?"
@@DeathDragon1730 Not really. Because again, to Krieg, you don't get to kill more xenos/heretics if you're dead. So yes, despite the memes, Krieg do care about staying alive more if it means they get to kill more stuff. Which is why they're not doing pointless suicide. It's only when said suicide will mean they kill more that they'll do it. The difference between typical Guard and Krieg is Guard have self preservation more, while lab-grown Krieg has only see their lives as a weight on the suicidal scale.
You know, a game depicting the plights of a guardsman would be pretty cool. Each time you die you get a character with a new name or something like that. It'd force you to be smart about how you approached things or even make a sacrifice to clear the way for the next guy. Seems like a solid idea, yeah? *Edit* I'm talking about all of these lives overlapping. So after twenty lives or so you have a well oiled meat grinder. Each life would take a bullet or return one in kind, but eventually the enemy would falter under the wave if bodies piling up.
We all see how they all laugh at us, but let me remind you: within these weak sacks of meat and bone, uncared for by our superiors and wept for by none, beats a HEART! A HUMAN HEART! One that carries with it the STRENGTH and COURAGE of ALL MANKIND! Within these sacks of meat is ensconced THE HOPE, THE WILL, and THE FURY of EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD, FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE IMPERIUM! Within these weak sacks of meat, festooned in thin armor and weapons only powerful in numbers... beats the heart of a man. And for TEN THOUSAND YEARS, the hearts of men have beaten, strongly, in defiance of their so called "powers"! For ten thousand years the hearts of men have stood united against a galaxy that DESPISES us for no reason, save that we have the AUDACITY NOT TO LAY DOWN AND DIE! For TEN THOUSAND YEARS, the mutants, the xenos, and the heretics have been pushed back, beaten down, AND MADE A MOCKERY OF, BY OUR WEAK SACKS OF FLESH WITH CHEAP WEAPONS AND DISPOSABLE EQUIPMENT! For us weak sacks of flesh that they so GLEEFULLY mock is NO super soldier, NO immortal warrior, NO ancient unkillable nightmare from throne knows where! WE. ARE. MAN. We are IMPERIAL GUARDSMEN, and we are down from some forgotten corner of the Imperium to fight for our species, and for safety of the people that we love! We are factory workers, farmers, storekeepers, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, daughters, sons... mere mortal humans... And so I say again! W E . A R E . M A N . And against creatures like them, teeming and numberless, powered by unknowable heresies, blasphemous technologies, or I don't even want to know what else, WE HOLD THE LINE! AND WE HAVE HELD THE LINE FOR TEN! THOUSAND! YEARS! AND WILL HOLD THE LINE FOR TEN! THOUSAND! MORE!
an entire game based around the siege of a single planet. You can push or be pushed back, you have "unlimited" guardsmen but reinforcements are on a schedule when they arrive and if you lose the landing zone you lose. Every time you die it is like the opening mission of battlefield 1 campaign and you switch to a random new guardsmen who could be performing any role and your abilities and equipment change accordingly.
Astartes: ”Chapter master, 50 brothers have died at the hands of the xenos” ”That’s half a company. How will we recover?” vs. militarum ”Sir, 4 million men have died ensuring the orks don’t advance” ”Only 4 million?!”
It's funny that we are used to loosing many more battle brothers than 50 in DoW in a single skirmish, yet that is very much half a chapter's company. You can take casualties like that once every 300 years, not every Saturday! Loosing an entire squad of terminators means loosing a tenth of the first company's elite! An irreplaceable loss of many thousands of years of combined experience, plus ten suits of incredibly powerful, expensive and ancient suits of armor. Yet, it can all be paid back with just, like, 400 requisition points. And I can't even begin to imagine the astronomical amount of full scout squads I've negligently lost to the enemy, over the years.

Reminds me of how the narrator of the All-Guardsman Party described their character creation process. For anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of witnessing this glorious greentext series, here's the Cliff Notes: They were playing a W40K tabletop RPG, I think it was Inquisitor. Like the name suggests, you roleplay as an Inquisitor, roaming the Imperium purging heresy and xenos filth wherever you find it. The players of this particular campaign decided they all wanted to play as Imperial Guardsmen. Instead of each player rolling up one character, they started the campaign by playing a 40K wargaming scenario, some legions of Guardsmen attempting to defend a world against a Tyranid swarm. By the end of the battle, about 100 Guardsmen survived out of a force of hundreds of thousands. An Inquisitor ship rocked up and evacuated the survivors before subjecting the planet to exterminatus. Out of those 100, half were summarily executed by the Inquisitor because they were either hybrid Tyranids disguised as Humans or were infected with Tyranid eggs. The remaining 50 were inducted into the Inquisition and served as a pool of characters from which the players could draw whenever one died during the main campaign.
The grey knight at the end just cracked me immagine being the only survivor of a xeno attack and the last thing you see is a adeptus astartes in shinning armor BASHING your skull in.
Except that space marines take long ass training and super enchancement. The guards take less and even if they didn't if you think 250,000 guards is 1% let me tell you a fun fact…,it ain't…
@@psmmajus it is strange that the guardsmen are considered the elite of a planet's military the best of the best sort of thing but when they face an enemy they die like cattle, all that training wasted.

*"A quarter million of my battle brothers died for a STUPID HILL?!?"* Grey Knight: *"They sure did!"* Guardsman: "But Grey Knights don't exist!" Grey Knight: *pulls out power hammer,* *"They sure don't, son...."*
In that moment a custodies appeared out of the shadows and slapped the space marine away. The emperor has foreseen this man as critical to the imperium and send one of his finest royal guard to see to it that no harm prevents him from his destiny.
Guardsman: we've finally claimed the hill in the name of the emperor, what was the importance of this strategic point? Astartes: Securing our picnic site
When you realise the oldest marine is over a thousand years old while the average life expectancy after landing for a guardsman can be as short as fifteen hours.
I'm pretty sure that there are some marines that have lived during the times of the Horus Heresy that made it to the 41 millennium, but I ain't got nothing to back that up
@@DopaminedotSeek3rcolonthree There are, a lot, but either as Dreadnoughts, lost in the Warp before returning, or in the stasis pod. Dante is very specifically said, repeatedly, to be the oldest marine who is not a Dreadnought and he's about a thousand years old.
@@DrDoom77976 essentially the gray Knights have a scorched earth policy, because they have to deal with chaos demons. If a loan guardsmen seemingly killed off a bunch of demons, single-handedly, he is considered possessed or corrupted, and thus must be purged.

During the Siege of Vraks there were 14 Million Guardsman Casualties over 150 Space Marine Casualties, 9 Titans, and 4 Inquistors. And it's considered a pyrrhic victory because they lost alot of Space Marines and 9 Titans
It was basically blow for blow, the space marines seemed to have suffered the worse percentage wise considering they're leading main assaults and did not really get to fight thier chaos counterparts. The titans were blow for blow and the guardsmen, well we can always print more.
It's pyrrhic because all the goodies on Vraks that the war was fought to reclaim were either expended in the fighting or tainted by Chaos, on top of both taking too long, requiring more resources to win than planned for, and Vraks itself being lost due to taint
@@tarektechmarine8209 If you measure in real life terms, yes. If you look up known campaigns and their units and remember that the average Guard regiment is ten thousand men or a few dozen tanks/few dozen artillery pieces, you'll see that Space Marines in actual practice generally are outnumbered by the Guard only a hundred to one or a thousand to one. Sometimes even as low as one Marine per Guard platoon in a battle. This is of course because writers have no sense of scale, but the fact remains this is probably what they intended. I know on the overall galactic view, the Guard outnumbers them more like a literal billion to one, but on the battlefield that isn't the ratio that matters.
The imperium really needs technology. With the guidance of the emperor, or at least what remains of him, surely they won't degenerate into a second dark age
Kriegsman: we lost 1/5th of our forces. Commissar: hmm… as a reward we’ll make it 2/5th and if you all behave well half of you I’m willing to get killed. Kriegsman: this is why you’re our favorite commissar!
I mean, it takes years just to create a Space Marine and decades to train him up to full lethality. With guardsmen you just give them a uniform, a gun and send them off on their merry way.
This reminds me of a show idea I had. Picture an Isekai set in Warhammer 40K, the guy has to survive 1 day in the universe and each time he dies, he becomes something/someone else.
My favorite scene involving astartes dealing with loss has to be in Hellsreach when doctor Nerovar starts throwing the equivelent of his dead brothers' labeled testicles at the head priest of their chapter, Grimaldus.
Reminds me of the Rick and Morty Episode where a machine churns out the instances how one person sees the other. While the Space Marines are Jerry congratulating and being füll of himself, the guardsmen are the strong Jerry, ready to die.

They were playing a W40K tabletop RPG, I think it was Inquisitor. Like the name suggests, you roleplay as an Inquisitor, roaming the Imperium purging heresy and xenos filth wherever you find it. The players of this particular campaign decided they all wanted to play as Imperial Guardsmen. Instead of each player rolling up one character, they started the campaign by playing a 40K wargaming scenario, some legions of Guardsmen attempting to defend a world against a Tyranid swarm. By the end of the battle, about 100 Guardsmen survived out of a force of hundreds of thousands. An Inquisitor ship rocked up and evacuated the survivors before subjecting the planet to exterminatus. Out of those 100, half were summarily executed by the Inquisitor because they were either hybrid Tyranids disguised as Humans or were infected with Tyranid eggs. The remaining 50 were inducted into the Inquisition and served as a pool of characters from which the players could draw whenever one died during the main campaign.
Imagine the dissapointment the greyknights would find thrmelves in after a battle with a 100% guardsman fatality rate
This channel is pure gold. You deserve more subs.
Dude your whole channel is a delight. Keep it up!
You have got yourself a sub, I love the attention to detail for this funny skit!
The grey knight at the end just cracked me immagine being the only survivor of a xeno attack and the last thing you see is a adeptus astartes in shinning armor BASHING your skull in.
I love how the guardsmen casualties are just sleeping shibas lol
To be fair, 1 Space Marine and 250,000 Guards are both 1% of their respective fighting force. Both are equally traumatic.
Except that space marines take long ass training and super enchancement. The guards take less and even if they didn't if you think 250,000 guards is 1% let me tell you a fun fact…,it ain't…
@@psmmajus it is strange that the guardsmen are considered the elite of a planet's military the best of the best sort of thing but when they face an enemy they die like cattle, all that training wasted.
@@MNM-lq9te i mean when your enemies are demons from hell, space vore bugs, or 65 million year old immortal murder robots that literally waged war on the gods themselves, well its kind of hard not to die like cattle huh?

That Grey Knight sending him to the Emperor had me dying! 🤣
Why is this...actually well made...damn
*"A quarter million of my battle brothers died for a STUPID HILL?!?"*
Grey Knight: *"They sure did!"*
Guardsman: "But Grey Knights don't exist!"
Grey Knight: *pulls out power hammer,* *"They sure don't, son...."*
A Warhammer meme with a Sabaton cover song at the end
*Beautiful*
Guardsman sees a slaaneshi demon, assumes its some weird ass xenos race. Visited by a very shiny gentlemen moments later.
Unironically these animations are top tier
Dogelore 40k
Was not expecting Sabaton, but im not disappointed.
In that moment a custodies appeared out of the shadows and slapped the space marine away. The emperor has foreseen this man as critical to the imperium and send one of his finest royal guard to see to it that no harm prevents him from his destiny.
I mean, statistically speaking 250,000 guard isn't even 0.0001% of their total count. It's the equivalent of a SM stubbing his toe
Guardsman: we've finally claimed the hill in the name of the emperor, what was the importance of this strategic point?
Astartes: Securing our picnic site
Imperial Guardsmen: "Why do you give me your most impossible battles?"
The Emperor: "You are my strongest compost."
I'm loyal to the Imperium up until the Grey Knights get involved, ain't getting killed over some BS
When you realise the oldest marine is over a thousand years old while the average life expectancy after landing for a guardsman can be as short as fifteen hours.
I'm pretty sure that there are some marines that have lived during the times of the Horus Heresy that made it to the 41 millennium, but I ain't got nothing to back that up
@@DopaminedotSeek3rcolonthree There are, a lot, but either as Dreadnoughts, lost in the Warp before returning, or in the stasis pod. Dante is very specifically said, repeatedly, to be the oldest marine who is not a Dreadnought and he's about a thousand years old.

The gray knight joke got me good
can you explain to me what the joke is? im new to warhammer
@@DrDoom77976 essentially the gray Knights have a scorched earth policy, because they have to deal with chaos demons.
If a loan guardsmen seemingly killed off a bunch of demons, single-handedly, he is considered possessed or corrupted, and thus must be purged.
@@DrDoom77976 Grey Knights are a particularly secretive Space Marine chapter, and when they deploy to an area, they don't leave witnesses in order to uphold that secrecy, so this also means killing or mind-wiping any civilians or friendly soldiers who are still alive when they arrive.

Love the inclusion of Sabaton's In the Army Now cover.
"Sir, we lost a systems worth of gaurdsmen"
"Seems like a mayor victory then!!"
i just love it when you add lines from elder scrolls in your vids
i love everything about this, just wish it lasted longer :) the choice in music that lovely guardsmen voice line, and the funny mouth movement and smiles before his death just made this so funny.
They face Almost the EXACT same foes as the space marines, the fact that ANYONE Lived is a fuckin Miracle
Plottwist: the hill are also just dead guardsmen that were ordered to take a trench
i love that this ultra chant is the ultramarine ultra theme song accrose all the ultra despiction of ultra marine
*STOMP STOMP* TTS LIVE !
_remembers "ending" of tts_
*ultra sorrow and anguish*
Band: Sabaton
Song: "You're in the army now"
A masterpiece
Love your work mate.
glorious victory for the guardsmen i see
During the Siege of Vraks there were 14 Million Guardsman Casualties over 150 Space Marine Casualties, 9 Titans, and 4 Inquistors. And it's considered a pyrrhic victory because they lost alot of Space Marines and 9 Titans
It was basically blow for blow, the space marines seemed to have suffered the worse percentage wise considering they're leading main assaults and did not really get to fight thier chaos counterparts. The titans were blow for blow and the guardsmen, well we can always print more.
It's pyrrhic because all the goodies on Vraks that the war was fought to reclaim were either expended in the fighting or tainted by Chaos, on top of both taking too long, requiring more resources to win than planned for, and Vraks itself being lost due to taint
@@tarektechmarine8209 If you measure in real life terms, yes. If you look up known campaigns and their units and remember that the average Guard regiment is ten thousand men or a few dozen tanks/few dozen artillery pieces, you'll see that Space Marines in actual practice generally are outnumbered by the Guard only a hundred to one or a thousand to one. Sometimes even as low as one Marine per Guard platoon in a battle. This is of course because writers have no sense of scale, but the fact remains this is probably what they intended. I know on the overall galactic view, the Guard outnumbers them more like a literal billion to one, but on the battlefield that isn't the ratio that matters.

Losing a Million men to get 2 feet of ground is an entire foot more than thought to be possible to be captured, Astounding work
When your population is in the high trillions, and billions born every second 4 million casualties is quite light
The imperium really needs technology. With the guidance of the emperor, or at least what remains of him, surely they won't degenerate into a second dark age
I mean the space marines have a good point. You need the gene-seed to continue making marines, and it is a little too valuable to just leave...
Underrated Warhammer Channel
Your my favorite 40k channel and i like alot of 40k channels
Astartes lost 10
"i will never financially recover from this"
Militarium lost 1 million
"by the Throne, that is a miracle that we lost only 1 million"
The draft man said “THIS IS THE CHILD”?
Great editing!
Kriegsman: we lost 1/5th of our forces.
Commissar: hmm… as a reward we’ll make it 2/5th and if you all behave well half of you I’m willing to get killed.
Kriegsman: this is why you’re our favorite commissar!
Because you got like quinitillion fleshy bits vs a million supersoldiers
In the grim darkness of the far future, there are only shibes.
I have returned after the passing of Brother Cheems. He is with the Emperor now
I mean, it takes years just to create a Space Marine and decades to train him up to full lethality. With guardsmen you just give them a uniform, a gun and send them off on their merry way.
Commenting on every video so you have more engagement and hopefully the algorithm favors you!
The PS1 Alien Resurrection Xenomorph SFX just knocked me back 2 decades!
That song choice got me so hard
When you remember the time and cost it takes to make an Astartes vs. the cost of giving some S.O.B. a Lasgun and pointing him towards the enemy.
That poor grey knight, he looked at the last gaurdsman
Now the space wolves or salamanders will show up, or emperor save us the lamenters
If the lamenters show up you better pray to the emperor that ultramarines also show up or else you're fucked
This reminds me of a show idea I had. Picture an Isekai set in Warhammer 40K, the guy has to survive 1 day in the universe and each time he dies, he becomes something/someone else.

My favorite scene involving astartes dealing with loss has to be in Hellsreach when doctor Nerovar starts throwing the equivelent of his dead brothers' labeled testicles at the head priest of their chapter, Grimaldus.
How old was Nerovar, he was an apothecary but seemed even less stable than the rest.
Came back after the defend the banner from Space Marine 2. Rip Tharius.
After everything, it was just a "bonk" meme
Reminds me of the Rick and Morty Episode where a machine churns out the instances how one person sees the other. While the Space Marines are Jerry congratulating and being füll of himself, the guardsmen are the strong Jerry, ready to die.
“ I sent wave after wave of my own men until the killbots reached their kill limit”
