No geneseed.
No super armor
Just flak armor, lasgun and human will, stubborness and determination.
And that is good enough.
And big fucking artillery and tanks.
@@EarFarce4 And bayonets.
Also other infantry weapons, the Titan Knights, defensive doctrine, the Imperial Navy support and specialized Regiments from other worlds@@oz_jones. No matter how strong the enemy and the horrors of the 42nd Millennium was the Imperial Guard are untold billions of men and women, both regular and irregular fighting the enemy in sheer number and firepower. They fight as one together, effective from steady defense to offense, from 1st to last line of defense for humanity.
No plot armor
Flak armor is optional

I listen to this before I do my exams. The Emperor guides my hand.
And your mind as well.
Humanity is proud to have you.
Proud to stand by your side in his holy service WE ARE THE HAMMER OF THE EMPEROR!!!!! CADIA STANDS!!!
How did it go? Did you show that exam who's the ONE AND ONLY Emperor??
The Emperor protects
Everyone loves the Space Marines, but the Imperial Guard doesn't get the love it deserves. These are real, average humans facing off against the horrors of the universe. The Imperial Guard is like the spirit and endurance of humanity in militant form.
I totally agree with you, I love how they aren't just brainwashed oversized humans who only care about war, the imperial guard are just people who either volunteered or were conscripted into fighting and do so to protect their homes and families.
I admire their bravery for that.
Is it odd I find the imperial Guardsmen better than the Adeptus Astartes come on
The Cadian Shock Troopers.
The Catachan Jungle Fighters.
The Death Korps of Krieg.
The Armageddon Steel Legion.
The Elysian Drop Troops.
The Tallarn Desert Raiders.
The Mordian Iron Guard.
The Valhallan Ice Warriors
Needs I say more?. My favourite is the Steel Legion somewhat because I love how they can get away with having multiple regiments simply because they say mechanised we are a mechanized regiment feel free to add things am fairly new to 40k so yeah.
not to mention a reflection of our most.. err effective tactics. drown whatever problem we can find in hig explosives, escessive amounts of firepower, and or human bodies till it goes away.
@@GundamReviver you forgot the most vital part BAYONETS.

my alarm would say something like "Once more into the breach you dogs!"
_"As I try to impress on the young whelps in my charge these days, it isn't the scarlet sash and the fancy hat that makes you a Commissar, it's the way you wear them. The troops you serve with are never going to like you, but if you can get them to respect you, that can be almost as good. Remember, you're going to spend most of your career on a battlefield with them, and they've all got guns, so making them think you're a liability is never a good idea."_

"I won't pretend this will be easy. But it is vital. Vital to Imperial success on this world, vital perhaps to the entire Crusade. The enemy and their ambitions will be denied, if it takes every spark of our lives and every drop of our blood. We fight for the Emperor today, fight as if we were standing at his side as his chosen bodyguard. Protect the men to your left and right as if they were the Emperor himself. Do not slacken, do not falter. Victory awaits you, and if not victory, then the glory of a brave death in service to the Golden Throne of Terra. The Emperor will provide, if you are true. His hand guides us, his eyes watch over us, and even in death he will bring us to him and we shall sit in splendour at his side beyond the Eternity Gate. For Lost Tanith, for Mighty Volpone, for Imperial Earth...advance!"-- Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt

2 Guard players and one space marines vs 5 Impossible AI Orkz.
we held out in a corner for 2 hours of stalemate.
thanks to the Emperor for Basilisk artillery.
those were the days
Sounds like the 2nd battle for Armageddon.
Thats the way to do it. :)
That sounds awesome
Skirmish in Dawn of War is some of the fun that I've ever had in gaming. I played Dark Crusade the most, but Winter Assault was the peak due to the bodies not being part of the Kroot feeding mechanic. I had screenshots of Space Marines standing among ork bodies where only the upper half of the body could be seen.
Me and my 2 buddies were like Guard (Me), Marines (Buddy 1) and Eldar (Buddy 2) fighting against like 4 or 5 Chaos opponents. Man, I held the critical point so long at one time, the point had more Guard bodies than there were pixels of grass and terrain. But those men held that damn line. I couldn't tech up but that didn't matter - my 2 buddies did. The Marine dropped like 6 dreads and 2 terminator squads in an enemy base and started demolishing them one by one. Meanwhile the Eldar managed to flank with Grav Tanks and Banshees, while he sent Wraithlords to suppress enemy production. The Marine sent 4 squads to reinforce the line.
Those Chaos boys couldn't stand up to the Baneblade too well hah.
He protec
He attac
But most importantly..
He hold the planet till it crack

@@ltournay What is this Imperial Guard regiment of "United States Marine" you speak of? The records tell of no such regiment.
@@xxxxxx5868 it is not imperial, it is of the old, pre emperor days. The day when humanity was divided into many factions that warred constantly against themselves. It is referring to one of the more powerful factions. The nation, of the United States of America.
Por CADIA!!!
The guardsman's standard loadout varies wildly from regiment to regiment, but all of them include some form of lasgun, a couple grenades of various types, a flak jacket, and a wheelbarrow to carry the standard-issue Mars-pattern adamantium balls.
The quality of the equipment sure has decayed, back in my times we gave them TWO wheelbarrows, one for each ball!
Such is the duty of the Guard. To make do with less.
More like good old fashioned Terra-pattern
Trollaman Zerreitug Two wheelbarrows? Back in my day we didn't have no fancy smancy tanks or wheelbarrows, we had two sticks and a rock! And we had to share the rock!
kabob 007 lol that Halo reference!
Alone, a guardsman can do nothing.
But a guardsman is never alone.
To actually quote White Dwarf when the second edition Imperial Guard codex was first released "The guardsman's lasgun isn't exactly formidable, but when about forty of them open up, some impressive holes start appearing in your opponent's lines"
@Anon emous Two, one to screw the lightbulb in, and the other to commandingly say: "It is an honor to serve for the Emperor."
That does not however include the commissar watching over the both of them from a distance with a bolter set to auto aimed at them and the 300 other guardsmen keeping the fort in tip-top shape.
Unless it is a debters world, in which case...well...just one in that case, the other one would be screwing in lightbulbs elsewhere paying off the debt he too is incurring for breathing.

Some of vindicare assasin quotes from Soulstorm:

"Tell your men to stay out of my way"
they said our laser pointers wouldt even do a scratch to their armor, lets show them what a millon of these can do together.
"Stalingrad? Bah, we call that Tuesday"
And what does that have to do with Warhammer?...
Pretty easy...
Consider that like a private joke in the Guard.
Most of battle our brave Guardsmen and Guardswomen fight are far worse than Stalingrad and Verdun together. (Take example on the battle of Vrak)
So, for joking, Imperial Guards player, and other, say that kind of joke for fun ^^
As resident of Stalingrad I find this deeply insulting. Not only because real warzone is compared with fictional. But mostly because historical episodes like Stalingrad battle or Kursk's arc are inspiration for WH40k.
Its Volgograd now, Not Stalingrad.
Stalingrad is city-hero!

@@aquaface1588 I KNEW YOU'D SAY..THAT!
This is why I love playing as the Guardsmen in Dawn of War. The theme for such an army is uplifting, motivating you to fight on, to hold the line at all costs, and when the Baneblade arrives, to crush the opposition with an iron hammer.
You don't need a Commissar with a gun aimed at you, a group of Ogryn roaring behind you, a Vindicare assassin aimed down from afar. All you need is one good squad of Guardsmen, and the enemy is truly fucked. For if even one man is left standing to hold the line, they have already lost.
*POWER OF ELEVEN BARRELS*
Imperial Guardsman: Thank the Emperor you're here! We thought Command forgot about us.
Gabriel: How long have you been here?
Imperial Guardsman: About a week.
Gabriel: You held this position for a week, by yourselves?
Imperial Guardsman: Yes, my lord. We've seen some freaky stuff top, come we'll show you.
From Dawn of War.
If the ogryns are standing behind you and not covered in enemies in the front line something is wrong
Username cheks out. Glory to Ollanious, just a man, held his duty, greatest of them all.
I'm assuming that was allegory because there is always more then 1 squad
Unless you misplelt 1 and meant 10000000

you fools! my lemanrus eradicator shall show you how its done!
Its easy to be brave, when one is clomping around in about a half-ton of power armour, genetically enhanced to be super strong and tough, armed with a rapid fire rocket launcher and conditioned to litterally have no fear. But it takes being a weak, frail ordanary human, with only a flack jacket, a lasgun and the man beside you for protection, to be truly heroic.
To quote John Wayne, "Courage doesn't mean you're not scared. Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway" and the guard does.
That's the appeal to me of the guard.
The Space Marines are genetically modified, surgically enhanced, trained, indoctrinated, armed, and armored to a fare-thee-well. They're bred and built for future warfare.
The Imperial Guard are armed with laser rifles, and armored with helmets, flak jackets, and guts. (Which become apparent all too often).
I'm not a bioengineered superman... but I'd like to think I could be someone with more courage and dedication than brains....

Obscure IG regiments anyone?
It is not the mighty golden Warrior-Demigods of the Custodes that have ensured Humanity will survive. It is not the valor of myself and my brothers and cousins that has ensured that Humanity will continue to stand against the horrors of the Warp. How could it be? For all of our strength, we have been modified into perfect killing machines. We are not Human. We could not stand between the forces of Chaos and Humanity; we did not stand between the Arch-Traitor and the Emperor upon the Vengeful Spirit. That is our eternal shame, our greatest failure.
And it is the greatest pride of the Guard, that between the traitorous son and the wounded Father, stood a Guardsman.
The Human soldiers of the Astra Militarum are the ones that ensure that Humanity will stand strong, for they are Human, and they die standing.
But you can't put a concept of bravery on the astartes as they don't even know what fear is.
For everyone of us who falls! TEN more Shall Take His Place!!!!!!

The rub is that, while the Imperial Guard can count on functionally limitless manpower, the trick is actually getting that manpower where it is needed.
The Imperial Administratum can take litterally decades to act on calls for help from worlds under attack, sometimes centuries in fact and even if they were to act immediately with a degree of efficiency that is almost unheard of for them, the Warp is not exactly the most reliable means of faster than light travel... it just happens to be the only means of FTL travel available to the Imperium, so even when dispatched, Guard forces can take years to arrive, a few days, they could arrive before they were even sent out if the Warp really feels like trolling, or they may never arrive at all.
Its really down to sheer, bloody minded law of averages, that Imperial Guard forces arrive where they are needed at all really.

"You would laugh monster. But let me remind you.
Within this weak sack of meat and bone, uncared for by his god and wept
for by none, beats a heart. A human heart, that carries with it the
strength and courage of all mankind.Within that sack of meat is the
hope, the will, and the fury of every man women and child from every
corner of the Imperium. Within that weak sack 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 your so called "powers". For ten thousand years, your black
crusades
have been pushed back, beaten down, and made a mockery of, by weak sacks
of flesh with cheap weapons and disposable equipment.
For that weak sack of flesh that you so gleefully mock is no
supersoldier, no immortal warrior, no creature cursed by chaos like you.
He is a man, an Imperial Gaurdsman drawn from some forgotten corner of
the Imperium to fight for his species and for the safety of the people
he loves. He is a factory worker. a farmer, a storekeeper, a father, a
brother, a son, a mere man. And against creatures like you teeming and
numberless, powered by the wills of thirsting gods...He holds the line.
He has held the line for ten thousand years.
So what is your excuse, monster?"

ChapelTheMechanist 100000 losses in a single day is indeed Victory in the grim universe of Warhammer 40000. In greater battles, entire regiments fade away, obliberated by their foes. But they go to battle convinced in their faith to the God-Emperor of Man. You say a hundred thousand is grim, we call it the usual day in the Imperial Guard. Feel free to join or be executed by a Commisar.
thats actually very good, depending how big the battle was

The Imperial Guard may start off as more numbers than anything - Frail, scared, clumsy.
BUT! Over time, they come to grow into an unstoppable force of hardened veterans and warriors, supported by the ever watching commisars, and with their mechanized might, these once puny humans grew and learned. You should have stopped them when you had the chance. Now they're here. And they're coming for you.

The guard, while impressive, is not able to withstand the true horrific powers in the 40k universe in the long term unless another enlightened age were to occur. Though they would put up an excellent fight if no deities are materialized. Fully unified Orks, Awakened Necron or even the Tyranids would eventually corrode them away.

You know you're focused on numbers when even your Command squad is a band-of-brothers setup.
A battle is written in this song. Here's what's going through my head:
0:00 - Planetfall. The ships have docked and are beginning to unload troops, supplies, and support teams.
0:18 - Platoon and squad leaders are being briefed by the commissars on the mission at hand: they must take that mountain being held by a Chaos warband.
0:36 - Deployment begins. The combat battalions are scrambled backed by the support teams.
0:46 - First blood. Combat begins and the first guardsmen and cultists fall to tank, lasgun, and artillery fire.
1:14 - The fighting intensifies, guardsmen and cultist are going down by the hundreds as the tanks on both sides blast each other to bits. Neither side is giving way.
1:34 - A breach has formed in the Chaos lines! But it's being held down by a couple of Chaos marines! But seeing no other way forward, the commissars call for a charge!
1:46 - Fighting begins in the breech. Hundreds more fall to the might of the Chaos warriors. But under the command of the commissars, the inspirations of the combat priests, and the sense of duty to the Emperor, the guardsmen press forward.
2:12 - It's working! The breech is getting ever deeper and deeper as the guardsmen pour forward and rapidly scale the mountain, slaughtering untold numbers of heretics. Even the Chaos marines show signs of uncertainty.
2:34 - By the Emperor they've done it! The peak of the mountain has been cleared, the heretics have been almost completely eradicated and the Chaos marines have retreated.
2:43 - The commissars order that the regiment banner flag be mounted onto the peak of the mountain.
2:50 - The flag is mounted as the guardsmen stand proudly around it, thanking the Emperor for this victory.
2:56 - Zoom out with the flag in the center of the screen.
3:03 - Cut to black.
Love it!

Two from the 13th last crusade as Cadia literally broke apart:

"The planet broke before the guard did!" Became an Imperial Guard battlecry after Cadia's defenders kept on fighting on a planet breaking apart

Kasrkin Squad ready for war!
Думаю это не кто не прочитает но это композиция напоминает те дни когда я впервые зашол в игру в 2015. Я конечно школьник но родился в деревне и там был старый комп моего брата. Ну и вот так я познакомился с Dawn of War, Warcraft,Diablo,CS1.4,Titan quest.
Я ВИЖУ!) Красава ! Так держать!) Заходи на мой канал, я в DOW1 играл ещё будучи 14 летним мальчиком 15 лет назад ...
Заходи на стримы, в 7 вечера по МСК провожу их (+- 1 час)
ЗА ИМПЕРАТОРА!
Astra Milibullshit. They'll always be the Imperial Guard!
The Astra Militarum is just the GW copyright name, because you can't copyright Imperial Guard.
@@kevincass9917 Because fuck you if GW can't copyright everything.
Hell, they sued another company that was using the oversized pauldrons... and won.
@@DonVigaDeFierro Really, huh
Surprised they haven't ever touched Blizzard then, what with all the glaring similarities
@@MrCh0o IIRC both Warcraft and Starcraft were meant to be Warhammer and 40k games... But something happened (maybe GW was being GW) and Blizzard never got the rights.
I don't remember the story well, but it follows along those lines. Maybe somebody else can shed more light on it.
When I play imperial guard in any of the strategy games, I like treating the common guardsmen as more than just expendable fodder.
Vary their loadouts to counter likely threats, give them proper vehicle support, pull them back when they're in trouble and reinforce them.
It feels weird but I'm quite fond of setting a good example to my little digital soldiers.
I suppose you didn't happen to play the best 40k game? Dawn of War 1 had Commissars an-[BLAM]
that is heresy their sole duty is to serve as the front line of the Imperium and die so that the worlds of man do not fall and that duty includes being sent to the death by the billions they will hold no matter the cost or face the wrath of the emperor
If you will not serve in combat then you will serve on the firing line.
Ah a challenge worthy of my skill !
I play this theme in every time I get a full guardsman squad in Darktide, FOR THE EMPRAH
The best part, you can tell Jesper was inspired by this if you listen to Emperor of Mankind from the Darktide OST.
I love how this video is old as youtube
¡Glory to first Man to die! ¡Chargeeee!
Ghost: Mess die with like the best the rest
The man running:mess with the best die like the rest
CADIA STANDS!!!
Glory to the Imperium!!!
CADIA STANDS!
GLORY FOR THE FIRST MAN TO DIE!
Despite preferring the Adeptus Mechanicus/Knight Households combo on the tabletop (and technically Necrons), the Imperial Guard are my *Favourite Faction* in 40k. Because you have superhuman demigods of war, thousand-year-old fresh-faced recruits who have mastered the art of warfare to an extent impossible by normal human standards, people in armour and battlesuits which make their armour look like cardboard and their guns look like laser pointers, Football Hooligans/Fungusmen as strong as the demigods, Space Locusts capable of devouring a planet's biosystem in a day, and the literal twisted contortions of thousands if not millions of years of human and alien minds made manifest - and then you have the guard. Regular humans, barring some enhancements for some of the commanders. A force whose only redeeming merit in the eyes of their commanders is that they are expendable (for most of them anyway). A force for whom the *tanks are considered to be worth infinitely more than the soldiers*. Despite all of this, they step up and fight. They join the fray against all of the above, with their inferior weapons and training. They fight on despite knowing how little they matter to their commanders. Planets break before they do.
THEY HOLD THE FUCKING LINE.
Not even the Emperor knows how many there are in the Imperial Guard. No one are keeping count.
Humans, not Tyranids, are the ants of 40k aren't they?
"We are the Imperial Guard. It is time we started acting like it!"
Rather than saying something controversial, imma say it here, I'm an Adeptus Astartes fan first and an Astra Militarum fan second.
But can we please all remember how badass we all felt in winter assault when this started playing?
This is literally the theme of Humanity
"... The Imperial Army..."
"The Imperial Guard."
"The Astra Militarum."
"THE WALL OF GUNS."

Имперская гвардия вот настоящие герои вархаммер 40000 ! У них нет вторых сердец, третьих легких и силовой брони они побеждают вопреки всем и всему! Аве эмпереор!!!!
Зачем обижать то сразу? А улей бегемот кто остановил, кадианцы что ли? Криговцы или вальхальцы? Нет Ультрамарины, если забыли вспомнить не сложно.
He was just a rookie guardsmen and he surely shook with pride.
He checked off his equipment and made sure his laz was primed.
He had to stand and listen to the commissar who roared.
“Forward, for the emperor!”
Glory, glory to the emperor and I.
Glory glory we shall sale across the sky.
Glory glory we will hold the bloody line
For the glory of the emperor!
If life is the Emperor's currency, then he's broke.
It means he's on a spending spree. Buying up the galaxy like no happy shopper ever did.
+zombievideos247 He has bad accountants.
+zombievideos247 A wise man spends his own money sparingly, but spends the wealth of others lavishly.
cadia broke before the imperial guard did.
REPORTAIN FOR DUTAY SIRE!
"Failure is the weakness of the enemy!","Releasing ELEVEN barrels of hell!","All guardsmen, Follow ME to GLOOREEEEY!"
"The Sarge got 'is leg shot off, we're knee-deep in xeno carcass, m'canteen's been empty for two days, them karkin' Ratlings have already legged it, and the Commissar's gettin' antsy.
I'S A LOVELY DAY T' BE IN TH' GUARD!"
FOR THE EMPEROR AND IMPERIUM!!!!
As a kid, the Space Marines were my absolute favorite. Superpowered badasses in power armor - how could you say no to that?
Now, as an adult, I have much more appreciation for plain-old grit: your everyday men/women that are given the bare minimum, and are expected to rise up against insurmountable odds.
Miss me with that hashtag shit: I mperial G uard ftw.

Damn if relic won't release the guard for dawn of war 3, at least for the first expansion or dlc, im going to brand them as heretics. Im tired of always seeing the same bloody space marines.
Marines ain't everywere, they are a quick surgical strike force.
You know who is on the whole imperium fighting against everything the galaxy has, dying in droves but still winning? the goddamn Imperial Guard that's who (or Astra Militarumn now, but i dont like the new name, it sucks).
A marine knows no fear, a guardsman must fight against fear in order to fulfill his duty, along with faith in the emprah, the aid of fellow guardsmen, and good old commisar .
Apparently Relic is trying to go for a more simple approach, with an emphasis on just throwing units into the fray, cause fuck unit preservation. This kinda works with the Imperial Guard, Orks, and Tyranids, but not with Space Marines and Eldar. Watch Arch Warhammer's impression of luetin's interview with the devs. Honestly it's horrific what they are trying to do.
It is exactly representative of tabletop thought.
you can never get the accuracte representation of fluff in a game without making it really shit. Its very accurate to the tabletop though
I want to see all Imperial forces. Guard, Space Marines, Sisters of Battle and the Skitarii.
Yes
