I know you are all scared to death, I know some of you might regret joining the guard. But I do not blame you from this fear. But remember why we are here. Because the Emperor needs us, because the imperium of man needs us, we are here so our families may sleep without fear through the night. We stand here today, for them and for all those back home. We are here to show our enemy, that they are wrong. We are here to make them regret their birth. We are here to show them they are the weak and small. We will walk over them and their bones will chatter under our feet! We will show those murdering beasts the courage of man! The Emperor is watching us today. Show him what you are worth! To attack and victory!! Today we fight, today we win, today they die!!
MrAnimepredator Cadia has fallen, but let it be known that the planet itself broke before the cadians did so. BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF ALL MANKIND! RISE UP AND AVENGE THOSE WHO FELL UNDER ABADDON THE DESPOILER! LETS GET KICKIN' SOME HERETICS AND XENOS ASSES!
Lord Inquisiteur Willhelm Von Steiner we are the guard we hold the line for everyone back home who cant fight and we die for them as a mere man aginist everything we will contune to hold the line no matter the odds.
I am nameless, I will die forgotten and unknown on a battlefield far away, but I will step upon the soil of that field gladly and without any remorse. So that my brothers and sisters next to me might live. So that they might yet see the sun rise over the horizon and so that they will find the strenght to carry on the heavy burden we all carry. This popped into my head when watching this and felt I should write it down.
I was once in one of these basecamps they had. A filthy place, mud everywhere and the aroma of unwashed bodies assailed my nostrils. You should have seen them, clad in nothing more than ragged uniforms and beaten flak vests. Their guns strapped to their back as they awaited marching orders. It was almost laughable knowing what they'd go up against. Their equipment could barely scratch the enemy and many would die by fall of evening. Yet they just stood there, facing forward, chins up. A grim determination in their eyes. I walked up to one of them and silently asked, in case a Commissar would be around to overhear, what they hoped to achieve. His answer quite left me baffled and it took many days and nights to sink in. "Achieve? I don't know, victory I guess. Just doing my duty sir." Duty... that one all-encompassing word...I must say I changed my view of the guard that day, no longer considering them lowlives and just unimportant. It is clear to me now that they have an understanding of the sacrifice the Imperium makes every day. Duty.....four letters that are the core of the entire Imperial Guard, nay...the entire human race! We all have a role to play if we want our Imperium to survive, either giving your life for it or remembering that deed through song and poem. I never caught the mans name, nor do I know if he's still alive or not. But one thing's for sure, whatever that has transpired, he has done his duty just like billions before him and like billions that still will... Vako Arin ,Rememberancer, exscript from "My time with the Cadian 256th, Glory, Honour, Duty"
darkjester53 Best description of the duty and honor that befalls the Imperial Guardsmen! We are not heroes! We do our duty! Nothing more, nothing less!
"They cant possibly kill all of us!" a guardsmen says as he and his fellow Soldiers charge like an endless tide, firing las bolt after las bolt at the enemy, none being able to with stand the emperors True weapon, His Hammer, his Imperial Guard! emperor bless the Imperial Guard!
while I do think a imp guard game would be cool, I don't understand why every one is always complaining about how over used the space marines are when that is WH40k big claim to fame. to me that is like say jedi over used in star wars.
" You shall not turn your back and run when the enemy overruns us, for it is rude and cowardly to turn your back to your killer. You will die standing." Col. Aleksin of the 13th Vorian Black Watch giving a speech to rally his men and the PDF of the world they were sent to save. Only hours later there were only 22 survivors, with the most senior officer being a single Lieutenant.
Shit, with what happend to Cadia.. this song fills me with sorrow, strangely mixed with a slight bit of hope.. Abaddon must know a thing: he has just set ablaze an unstoppable flame in the heart of all true mens and womens of the Imperium: the thirst for vengeance. Oh, he might look at us as insignificant, pittyful mortals.. and yet, we, mortals, "fragile" humans, have HELD THE FUCKING LINE FOR HUNDRED OF GENERATIONS against INFINITE SWARMS of Xeno Dinosaurs-Bugs, endless hordes of barbarous greenskins, the unending tides of the daemons and their heretical servants, space commies weeaboos with standard issue railgun, space elves, fucking space Cthulhu and fucking space terminators, with nothing more than repurposed tractors (leman russ), light tanks (BANEBLADES!), flashlights and faith in the Emperor! And we're gonna push the line now, so hard that Abaddon will feel it in his anus for the next 10 thousands years! Ave imperator, glory to the guard, and VENGEANCE FOR THE FALLEN! FOR THE SPIRIT OF CADIA! FOR THE IMPERIUM!
The Guardare the real fighters of the Imperium. No Space Marine can under stand the real courage and devotion a guardsmen can offer. His courage is both his strength and will. His devotion is loyalty to Imperium and Regiment. The Imperial Guard are the real fighters of the Imperium, the ones who die and shed there blood to protect the Imperium. The ones who really fight, remember "Mess if the best, Die like the rest. For Cadia!"
Right. No Astartes can understand the bravery of the guard because they know no fear. But that dont mean they are not real fighters for the Emperor. The Space Marines are the Emperors finest.
I respect the Space Marines, and the service to the Emporia and Imperium. But they Guard are the body of the Imperium, and fight more battles than the Space Marines. I would serve in one of there Regiments, than any Space Marine Legion. My dedication is to the guard, and will serve the guard to the end.
Calum Deighton I also respect the heroic and noble guard and their sacrivice to mankind. Whithout the guard there would be no Imperium and no mankind. But I go with my battlebrothers. The fight must go on to protect all humanity. Ave Emperor and his loyal sons. May the Imperium never fall.
Today the Emperor Looks down on us. Today the enemy trembles at our gaze. Today we purge the heretics from this planet. You are Noble, You are Strong, You are The Imperial Guard. Do not falter, do not fall, You are surrounded by brothers and sisters, You have the might of the entire Imperium at your back. SOLDIERS OF THE IMPERIUM...DO YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER?!!
Death Korps is based off the late WW1 Imperial German uniforms, that is why they have WW1 type trench coats and WW1 type gasmasks plus they use elaborate trench systems, just like the Germans in WW1, the Legion of Steel on the otherhand has WW2 Blitzkrieg tactics and uses more WW2 type uniforms. also the Mordian Iron Guard are based off the 1860's - 1870's Bismarck era German troops, with full dress uniform and high dicipline, just wanted to put that out there. :P
For everyone of us who falls ten shall take his place, we fight for the emperor and our people, each of us is a small spark in the dark void of space but we are innumerable and ever growing, one day we will shine bright enough to end this eternal darkness that plagues our universe, one day humanity will destroy the heretic gods themselves, one day humanity will have a golden age, now we march towards the enemy without fear, as we march over our friends bodies we will have no fear of death
Damien Pace Well, actually Putin doesen't give a single fuck about things inside Russia. I know what i'm talking about, trust me :( I live in Russia, and everything is not so good. Especially the roads, they are fucking terrible. Our government loves to shit on citizens of Russia, and also they like to steal every piece of money they can grab. So, a lot of people are angry. Also our army is not an Imperial Guard. It's strong of course, but soldiers are treated well, like in any European army. And no one wants to die for Putin, I can assure you.
xrhstos xaralampous Yep. We will fight to protect ourself, but we won't attack anybody just because some reasons. Unfortunately, a lot of EU countries think other way.
They are all regular guardsmen. Not treated as any more valuable than another. Yes most of the time sergeants are the only ones who will have pistols and chainswords. But if you read the codex and supplements it can vary from reg to reg. IE some will outfit every guardsman with a pistol. Those 'specialists' you speak of are still regular guardsmen. The only difference is they are given the honor of using a special weapon and maybe some extra training but they are still just a regular guardsman.
the principle of the commisar is based off the russians, that is true, but i was talking about their uniforms, which are inspired by the wehrmacht. also i have to correct you on some things, Valhalan's are based off the cossacks, yes they are russian but different, if that makes sense :P. the death korp are based off WW1 germans, NOT NAZI'S! the Armagedon legion of steel on the other hand...
Another extremely well done tribute to the unsung everyday troopers who are the sledgehammer of the emperor beloved by all. Congrats m8 i actually was inspired by alot of the frames you showed here, i salute thee 07 - ALL GUARDSMEN FOLLOW ME TO GLORY!! *baneblade cannon boom*
"Only the most powerful and influential members of the Imperium possess a power weapon as a result. Inquisitors and high-ranking Commisars or Imperial Guard officers tend to possess them, as do members of various noble families with potent political clout and wealth. The Space Marines make use of many of the power weapons in existence, as is their right." I see that we have diffferent understanding about meaning of regular
"I will toughen you up or use you up, or both, as the Imperium Requires."- Lord General Castor, CIC of all Imperial Guard forces in Sub-Sector Aurelia.
ambitious, but totally worth it. as long as each story, you play as a different guardsmen in different armies, and fight a different enemy in each campaign
"Quickly attack, we can't let the astartes take all the credit this time" said no guardsmen ever. "Drive me closer i want to hit them with my sword" best line ever in any game.
The majesty of the Adeptus Astartes knows few equals, true, but the Imperium is kept whole by the countless billions of Guardsmen who give their lives in service of the Emperor. Emperor protect us.
"It is these bellions of unsung heroes that allow for thr Imperiums continued existence" Actully more like, "Humanitys existance". May the Emperor protect you all.
it's always the generals and govenors that get the recognition, but it's the guardsmen who are on the frontline, actualy facing the enemy head on, and the govenor/general that hides behind his hordes of guardsmen, tanks and baneblades..
In the Name of the Emperor we will Hold the line In the name of Humanity we will stand fast In the name of all who have fallen we will fight In the name of our Lord we will die FOR THE EMPEROR FOR THE IMPERIUM OF MAN!
I've always thought them just cannon fodder, but seeing the devastation they cause on the table with a couple of lasrifles and a meltagun or two I have a whole new respect for Imperial Guard.
@BlackTemplar43 Incorrect, there was fighting on both. So we have established they built the foundation of the Imperium by conquering the Sol system. Then comes the fact that they kept fighting on their own. Here, since I like the Geno, we will focus on them. They fought a 6 week campaing against Orks on Foechion, fought draganoid cadres on Zantium, and fought Nurthene rebels on Nurth. No marines. They fought, and they Won, all to build the Imperium during the Great Crusade.
"Enemies of the Imperium, hear me. You have come here to die. The Immortal Emperor is withus and we are invincible. His soldiers will strike you down. His war machines will crush you under their treads. His mighty guns will bring the very sky crashing down upon you. You cannot win. The Emperor has given us his greatest weapon to wield. So make yourselves ready. We are the First Kronus Regiment, and today is our Victory Day"--Governor-Militant Lukas Alexander, Commander of the 1st Kronus Regiment
Warhammer 40000 is based on the Starship Troopers novelle that was released back in the 50's. Cadians used to look like the armies in Starship Troopers, but was later changed
what i want is a warhammer game that lets you be any race of the warhammer universe that is in 1st or 3rd person with all vehicels and weapons as well as maps that i would cry and beg for like a little boy.
they look more like German troops to me, remember, the present US uniform was not used yet when the IG were introduced, they still used vietnam type helmets, and the present helmet is based of the stahl helmet. plus, you want to claim that the commisars dont look like german commanders?
In the end, I say it doesn't matter if your one of the Space Marines, the Imperial Guard, the SoB or any of the other armies who fight for the Emperor. All that matters is just that, you live and die in the Emperor's name while defeating his foes. For the Imperium! For the Emperor! Only in death does duty end!
@deadfinchboat: either you meant the "Death Corps of Krieg" (which is more or less the western front in WW1 in one regiment) or the "Steel Legion of Armageddon" (which is strongly influenced by the german troops of WW2) :P
Imperial Officer I have yet to hear a story of the PDF doing its job competently. They are considered badly armed, poorly trained, undisciplined fops at best by the freaking Imperial Guard.
@DelightfulTyrant And It was the Marines who built the Imperium. The Imperial Army simply provided garrison forces and transport while they were shaping the Imperium. It was only after the Heresy that the Army was divided into the Imperial Guard and Navy. Horus Heresy was the first conflict which called for their military assistance.
Soldiers of the Emperor,to me,stand and let no terror fill you .Together we are mankinds onlu hope,not one step back,not one tremble...hear my words,know that the Emperor smiles upon you.Triumph and victory to the bold!
that would have been well cool! im sure you heard that dark millennium being turned into a single-player/co-op/multiplayer game now. maybe that will happen in that game. or it's gonna be space marine 2
I don't know, being a regular guardsman gives you the most options. For personal weapons you have: laspistol & gun, chainsword, power sword, power fist, longlas sniper, bolt pistol, bolter, flamer, heavy flamer, plasma pistol, plasmagun, grenades (frag, krak, melta) grenade launcher, hotshot lasgun & pistol, meltagun, shotgun, autogun & pistol and many more. Then you have heavy weapons: autocannon, heavy bolter, mortar, missile launcher, lascannon. Being a regular has more toys to kill with.
Honor the Guardsmen, for in their chest beats the heart of a man. He has no special powers, no super strength, no augmentations. His faith lies within the Emperor of Man. He who was born on some forgotten planet in some corner of the galaxy. He is a factory worker, a farmer, a store keeper, a father, a brother, a son. He fights for not just those he loves, but for man kind as well. He has stood the line against those that would destroy the Imperium across the galaxy. He held the line in the imperial palace during the Horus Heresy, he held the line during the black crusade. As Cadia broke, the guardsmen continued to hold the line as the ground under their feet crumbled into space. For ten thousand years the guardsmen has held the line and he will continue to hold it.
90% of all of us will be guardsman if 40k was real.
And I'd gladly die because I'd finally have a cause noble enough to fight for.
+Light 1988 nah, I'd be imperial navy, its just a lot more awesome! :D

Warhammer 40000 is based on the Starship Troopers novelle that was released back in the 50's. Cadians used to look like the armies in Starship Troopers, but was later changed
as a follower from the start i can say at least you stick to your favorite.
As always: "This hill belongs to the EMPEROR or no one shall get it!!"
truly epic
In death we have a name.
And the Emperor knows the name of every loyalist who ever died for him.
what i want is a warhammer game that lets you be any race of the warhammer universe that is in 1st or 3rd person with all vehicels and weapons as well as maps that i would cry and beg for like a little boy.
gentlemen cant we all agree that both space marines and imperial guards are awsome
they look more like German troops to me, remember, the present US uniform was not used yet when the IG were introduced, they still used vietnam type helmets, and the present helmet is based of the stahl helmet.
plus, you want to claim that the commisars dont look like german commanders?
In the end, I say it doesn't matter if your one of the Space Marines, the Imperial Guard, the SoB or any of the other armies who fight for the Emperor. All that matters is just that, you live and die in the Emperor's name while defeating his foes. For the Imperium! For the Emperor! Only in death does duty end!
@deadfinchboat: either you meant the "Death Corps of Krieg" (which is more or less the western front in WW1 in one regiment) or the "Steel Legion of Armageddon"
(which is strongly influenced by the german troops of WW2) :P
The Imperial Speed Bumps.
Tommy9834 No that's the P.D.F
Imperial Officer I have yet to hear a story of the PDF doing its job competently. They are considered badly armed, poorly trained, undisciplined fops at best by the freaking Imperial Guard.
yeah that's what there a speed bumb they sit they and have the enemy drowned in there blood till the Guard or the Astartes arrive to deal with it
Tommy9834 its funny everyone thinks of the army below it that same way but everyone agrees the pdf is the worse
Soaking up bullets for the IG since 30,000 A.D.
the storm troopers have access to most of the good ones of those weapons you mentioned
FOR TERRA'S GOLDEN THRONE, FOR THE IMPERIUM OF MAN!
oh god emperor I'm crying manly tears.
For the glory of the imPerium Sir!
@DelightfulTyrant And It was the Marines who built the Imperium. The Imperial Army simply provided garrison forces and transport while they were shaping the Imperium. It was only after the Heresy that the Army was divided into the Imperial Guard and Navy. Horus Heresy was the first conflict which called for their military assistance.
4:25, that Ork nob is gonna 2 get own by the sheer AWESOMENESS of that Guardsman. Dude, he probably got his balls made of steel, man
finally, some1 gives credit to the imperial guard
1:04 don't even think bout it guardsmen.
Soldiers of the Emperor,to me,stand and let no terror fill you .Together we are mankinds onlu hope,not one step back,not one tremble...hear my words,know that the Emperor smiles upon you.Triumph and victory to the bold!
I feel like the imperial guard represent humanity more then anything else. Humans fighting within their human limits but fighting non the less.
that would have been well cool! im sure you heard that dark millennium being turned into a single-player/co-op/multiplayer game now. maybe that will happen in that game. or it's gonna be space marine 2
I don't know, being a regular guardsman gives you the most options. For personal weapons you have: laspistol & gun, chainsword, power sword, power fist, longlas sniper, bolt pistol, bolter, flamer, heavy flamer, plasma pistol, plasmagun, grenades (frag, krak, melta) grenade launcher, hotshot lasgun & pistol, meltagun, shotgun, autogun & pistol and many more.
Then you have heavy weapons: autocannon, heavy bolter, mortar, missile launcher, lascannon.
Being a regular has more toys to kill with.
Don't forget though of the other races, Orks, Tau, Eldar, that game could have so much potential man!
They are the unsung heroes of the imperium.
I'm only 23, I can wait.
he definetly got ripped in half
Honor the Guardsmen, for in their chest beats the heart of a man. He has no special powers, no super strength, no augmentations. His faith lies within the Emperor of Man. He who was born on some forgotten planet in some corner of the galaxy. He is a factory worker, a farmer, a store keeper, a father, a brother, a son. He fights for not just those he loves, but for man kind as well. He has stood the line against those that would destroy the Imperium across the galaxy. He held the line in the imperial palace during the Horus Heresy, he held the line during the black crusade. As Cadia broke, the guardsmen continued to hold the line as the ground under their feet crumbled into space. For ten thousand years the guardsmen has held the line and he will continue to hold it.
707th Cadian Avengers, reporting for duty, Sir!
@Mortenhendriksen I guess I was nitpicking with the Legions/Chapters thing. Sorry for that.

Guardsman:
"I was unaware that Sheep were still domesticated by the Imperium."
Quantity has quality of its own.
you must have a lot of balls to take on an enemy twice your size and thats why i love the Imperial Guard
