I think it would "Don't panic... ESPECIALLY if there a Commissar behind you. Cowardliness is punishable by death:"

Mandemon1990 lesson number 1 in the imperial guard,if there's something scary in the front,then put something even scarier in the back to balance out the men

Mandemon1990 You simply panic in the direction away from the Commissar. Since you don't want to die, you fight like hell because a guy legally obligated to murder you for not fighting or not fighting hard enough is eyeballing you.

Also, "When in doubt, FIX BAYONETS"

Logan Stafford there are imperial guard regiments that stand as tall as space marines and don't need the fancy armor, they are called ogryns and while their intellect is at a level where they could be outsmarted by an ork they more than make up for it in brute strength, loyalty and endurance (they are also extremely claustrophobic unless their commander is with them)

No

Now go play both games and pretend roman legionares rendered as 2D sprites most of the time looks comparable to 3D rendered spacemarines with dynamic visual changes mid battle

What Arch forgot to mention, that Kommisars do not come from the same homeworld as the regiments they are assigned to. Kommisars are orphans who's parents were officiers or other high ranking personal in the administration and who died in action or other. They join Kommisar schools at a very young age and are trained to be as cold hearted as they can be.

If I remember rightly there's a Black Library short story about a Guardsman who finds himself (and the regimental commissar) the sole survivors when their ship crashes on a world inhabited by centaurs who are the descendants of a long lost human expedition and who protect an STC from a splinter group of Chaos worshipping centaurs. The Guardsman regards them as friendly abhumans while the commissar insists that they have deviated too far from the human form and are Chaos-tainted mutants in need of purging. Just checked and the story is called “Children of the Emperor" by Barrington J Bayley and is included in the 40k short story anthology “Let The Galaxy Burn" which is a motherfucking beast of a book including 38 stories and totalling up to 750 pages and includes stories from eighteen different authors.

Arch Warhammer Well, you could write a book with more detail and sent it into the Black Library, then you'll have a lot to go from.

Arch Warhammer i found this,It's a big link i know. www.google.gr/imgres?imgurl=static.fjcdn.com/comments/Warhammer%252B40k%252Bwith%252Banime%252Bheretical%252Btrash%252B_088309369202801f68113f88fad8d6b7.jpg&imgrefurl=www.funnyjunk.com/channel/animemanga/East%2Bmeets%2Bwest%2Bcrossover%2Bcomp%2B11/tNfaLgA/4&h=820&w=977&tbnid=V-14fPKVMavtrM:&docid=Cz74fFnfbCnHtM&ei=BKAiVumDBYWfsgHul47YDA&tbm=isch&ved=0CD0QMygVMBVqFQoTCOmVmbGdysgCFYWPLAod7osDyw

I’m not 100% sure if that’s true of Flak Armour, with Carapace Armour I know it is.

Lord Inquisitor Steiner von Willhelm LoL no they can’t. The IG are literally just meat shields to delay the enemy until the Astartes arrive. Even if the IG regiment had a decent leader all he can do is throw his troops at the enemy since any other tactic is a guaranteed death sentence. What can you do against the ocean-like swarms of the Orks or the Tyranids? Necrons? Chaos Marines? Lasguns do literally nothing against them, and any armor the IG can field is either matched or outnumbered/outclassed by their opponents. You give the IG WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much credit to even think they can have a hope of fighting any of the enemies of the Imperium.

THANK YOU FOR THIS POST PLEASE CONTINUE TO EDUCATE THE IDIOTS

I wouldn't put too much stock in the numbers listed in books for effective armour protection etc. I remember reading (though I can't for the life of me remember where) that the land raider was given an impressive-sounding protection compared to steel plating - someone later did the calculations and found out that it was roughly equivalent to a modern-day main battle tank. I guess the best you can do is hope that the units in fluff line up reasonably well with real life - if not, it's forgivable outside of lore because you can't expect writers to also be experts in military engineering, and makes sense in lore as just one of those things that got messed up in the ~38.000 years between now and the future

that's a bit misleading, the Pak 44 would punch a hole straight through the flak vest, because the vest can stop 19MJ of thermal energy from burning its way through, purely kinetic energy it probably couldn't stop that, not to mention even if it did the guardsmen would be completely pulped. Normal rifle bullets, for example a 7.62x39mm standard ball round, puts out roughly 2100 joules at the muzzle, with .308 being about 2800 and x54r going as high as 3800, and in several books (specifically looking at Gaunts Ghosts) the Tanith troopers get mowed down by Blood Pact autoguns and stubbers, the standard stubber mentioned is a .30 caliber, and the autoguns are a heavier variant manufactured on Urdesh that was captured by the Bloodpact, I would assume that to mean something like a .30 caliber rifle, IE AK47 or FAL compared to lighter calibers used in rifles like the AK74(5.45mm) or M16(5.56). The flak vest's main priority is stopping fragmentation, but the fabrics used also spread the thermal energy across a large area. getting into stuff like specific impulse and bullet shape/composition is a bit much but suffice to say that a spitzer point bullet with a hardened core drilling 3KJ into an area about .27" across will penetrate anything wearable short of hardened metal plates. 40K also occupies the weird place in Sci-fi where not everything is some super advanced gizmo that works miracles, because either the super advanced stuff can't be made enough, or the simple stuff just works. It's very possible that in 40K high end autoguns have systems similar to the Kriss vector that redirects recoil energy, better propellants (or just using straight up explosives instead of combustibles), crazy AP rounds like the adamantium tipped bolter shells, lighter materials allowing for more recoil control systems to be built in, all of which would allow for pushing the muzzle energy of rifles higher and higher to get ridiculously OP guns, but honestly, I doubt that a 40K flak vest would fare well against .30-06 Black tip without hard plates inserted

Tyrannohamstersaurus But the sigmarines seem to be killable,they can die and lose battles and that makes their battles more suspenseful unlike the marines who send 4 dudes to kill entire planets worth of orks, eldar and daemons. I kinda respect that they are not that over powered in the lore.

Tyrannohamstersaurus The armour is created from the old world which is a dwindling resource that will eventually run out. Each time a Stormcast is reborn he loses a bit of his personality and intelligence so they might end up nothing more than moving husks. Also if a Relictor was not around their souls can get lost in the warp.

The planet broke before the guard did.

+Rellana1 good luck surviving their engagement against eldar first and getting to said eldar body before his comrades. And then the risk of bing BLAM'ed for the use of xenothech far outweighs the benefits of using said xenotech - if one is that desperate to imrove his chances he'd rater lie, stel and beg his way into special weapon operator, and make sure to be issued grenade launcher rather than plasma gun that would eventually kill or at least mutilate him, or flamer/melta that would force him into much less comfortable distance from the enemy.

I was thinking along the lines of I've read somewhere that the Imperium turns somewhat of a blind eye to higher-ranking Guard officers using captured Eldar Plasma guns,as they are more likely not to kill or mutilate the user,so the lesser ranked ones might be able to get away with it,but the Imperium being what it is,they'd probably execute the user on the spot,regardless of rank.

+Rellana1 Most xeno weapons are either too specialized for humans to use without training (As Jon said, Eldar weapons can only be used by them, and it wouldn't surprise me if Tau weapons have special way of working, so taking one would reduce your firepower since you wouldn't know what you're doing) or be too big to use, like a shoota. If you've trained the last part of your life with a certain weapon, you're probably going to be more efficient with that than if you suddenly pick something up from the ground you saw some alien use. Leave Xenotech to the Mecanicus. Avoid blam.

+Rellana1 I can just imagine a guardsman armed to the teeth with xeno weapons.

.

+TheRWS96 sort off there used to be some wierd centaur creatures called zoats before GW retconned them, however these are more like lizards then horses however considering how massive the galaxy is in warhammer 40k you can get away with homebrewing centaurs and aslong as it fits the lore most 40k fans will just look at it and go "well neat".

+TheRWS96 they did. Poor sods were called Zoats, and were exterminated by the Imperium for being FOUL XENO SCUM.

+TheRWS96 technically you could probably get away with centaurs as a stable strain of "beastmen" mutations, there where even rules for these "beastmen" back in a White Dwarf, and hell there is a plannet in the Imperium with nekomimi people soooooo yes?

+TheRWS96 "Children of the Emperor" by Barrington J Bayley has centaurs.

+Genetic Heresy you don't just kill cat girls they are given to slaanesh as gifts once a month

Holy shit...how have they not run out of meat shields to throw at the xenos yet with that small of an army?

Most estimates I've seen put the Imperium at 4 quadrillion.

Did you come back for a rewatch?

they are called ratings, they are a species of human that evolved differently to most. They are small, but agile and have good eye sight so they are used as snipers by the gaurd

sam swann ratLings. Ratings are naval personnel. Rate-ings versus rat-lings.

By 40K standards, it's the most peaceful planet in the galaxy

Lallepop Lord of Ahegao that's not saying a lot from what I have seen.

so you know nothing than.just a typical thinking.maybe you should read or smthng

😲😲😲😲😲😲😲.....my god, mind blown

Much of the higher-end technology and equipment for many human colonies degraded and broke down from overuse over the many millennia from the Long Night to the 41st Millennium. Plus isolation from the greater community of Mankind while being left behind on a hostile backwater in some random corner of the galaxy might have left to some populations to adopt some... questionable habits. TL;DR version: Apocalypse level event happened; Human colonies are cut off from each other (their globalized economies/societies collapse and chaos and ultra-violence ensues). A lot of people are killed; shit breaks down, knowledge is lost, and there's not enough people left afterwards (or any at all) who know how shit works/made/or fixed.

You should watch "If The Emperor Had A Text-To-Speech Device", there's a whole episode all about The Emperor's past and Humanity (Pre-Imperium).

In the Eisenhorn trilogy, a meeting takes place on a human world that is still in the feudal age in a pocket of the galaxy that had not been invaded by any xeno's, so the characters have to meet in an abandoned castle so they can avoid 'spooking the locals'. For all we know, we're part of the imperium, and we're being kept in the dark since we haven't been exposed to chaos and tyranids yet!!!

FishizzleBoy well, terra is earth, and I do not really think we would not notice being the capital planet

+Nichita Mihai Fighting weaker tribes and orcs would surely work with 18th century warfare.... we are in the 21st century and most of their infantry is 21st century styled fighters throughout the empire the 18th century isnt the medieval period and single shot rifles are useful if used correct.

David Pursglove lol dude I know that 18 th century isn't medieval period. He also mentioned that some of the soldiers are equipped and organized in a Medieval fashion of warfare. And that for me is fucking ridiculous to have even in a SF universe. I'm sure that 21 st century military has no problem dealing with horse tribes barbarians. Just use automatic rifles and explosive weapons and you rout them by scaring the bastards.

alot of the worlds dont understand the technology and when they do they have to adapt to it.... lol plus orks = heavy Melee units galore making Melee combat useful so they are used more for melee on melee or somesort of ambush they'll most likely have a lazgun and a melee weapon :P

+Nichita Mihai True if you don't take into account the long night, practically all technological advancement went down the shitter on Earth, the mother-buggering Homeworld itself. I think i'm justified in believing that the Homeworld would be the most advanced place under human control (or at least damn close to most advanced) and there they had to reinvent Atmospheric flight! Thus the technology and tactical know-how on some far away backwater colony planet would more likely than not Atrophy Far Far more severely than on the Homeworld. Now the reason as to why an imperial guard regiment stationed on the aforementioned Backwater would lose the majority of their tactical understanding and technological superiority would mainly come in the form of lacking supplies in both men and equipment. Such a backwater wouldn't be worth much in the eyes of the Imperium and it has become painfully clear that the Imperium only modernizes what they consider 'important' worlds. 5 generations pass on the backwater with minimal Imperial contact and all of a sudden the entire regiment has weaker weapons less advanced tactical thinking because they haven't needed to advance, their weapons are more than good enough for them to win their current engagements and their a lot cheaper than the more modern Las-variants. At this point in time the regiment's command staff would be almost entirely composed of arrogant man-child types who have very little grasp on strategy due to them having incredibly cushy lives in the local capital. The Imperium also doesn't give a damn as to what weapons and tactics some backwater out in the middle of nowhere uses as long as their capable of catching a few bullets before they can hit the elite regiments. Technological Atrophy at its finest! Any Questions?

Nomadalien The entire Universe would be less chaotic and peaceful without the Imperium. Yes just leave it to the actual Chaos, Orks, Tyranids and the other Xenos and all the sudden the Universe is more peaceful.
