The planet broke before the guard did.

Krieg soldier charging: *Gets shot in the knee* Also the soldier: Listen here buddy, I am not some sort of guard in Skyrim, take my bayonet

Imperial Guard A.K.A. the only reason the Imperium is still around

Standard Imperial Guard: We hold the line across the Imperium, taking on impossible foes for the Emperor. Cadians: We hold the line against Chaos so long that our planet was shattered, yet we still hold the line, so that all know Cadia stands. Kriegsmen: We will charge into enemy fire at merely the sound of our commissars whistle, and the ones that survive will do it again eagerly.

In memory of all who held the line. For all those who cried out against the dark. "Cadia stands!"

This song fits the Imperial guardsman well.

Ordinary people of The Imperium see a recruitment poster which shows a typical Death Korps of Krieg infantryman standing behind trenches: "After being enlisted, do they really give you even a shovel? Wow!"

I'd love a Battlefield style game where you play as a guardsman against an impossible amount of enemies. Like a massive PvE online game against hardcore AI.

Space Marines may get the big accolades, but it’s the Guardsmen who do 99% of the work.

Imperial guard will never give up the emperor's will is with us

Imagine how invincible a normal Human conscript into the Guard would feel if they got the chance to fight next to a Space Marine? I bet that feeling would never leave them, assuming they survived the battle. I like in how some lore the Guards inspire even the Marines and the Marines inspire the Guards to greater things.

Astartes and sorroritas may hog the spotlight, but, the imperium was built by the blood and bones of the Imperial armies , it is yet maintained by the sacrifices of the Imperial Guard. Ordinary un-augmented humans , against forces that give even Astartes pause. All honour to them! Emperor gather their brave souls.

Imperium stands on the shoulders of the Guard. For the Lost forests of Tanith, For the Nuclear Wastes of Krieg, For The broken Planet CADIA STANDS! The Emperor Protect

The guardsman are some of the bravest of humans even among the space Marines many chapters praise them for their bravery

"If you face the forces of Chaos, or any other force in the universe, you may die. This is an inalienable fact of warfare; but if you die nobly, if you die in service to the Imperium and to Mankind, you will at the least have honor, and if the Ecclesiarchy is right about anything, a place within the graceful light of the Emperor." - The Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer

Ever since DoW Winter Assault, the fans have recognized the Imperial Guard as the truest heroes of the Imperium.

"In life, war. In death, peace. In life, shame. In death, atonement."

A guardsman feel fear every day but fought xenos, gods, and demons alike for ten thousand years

The Emperor Ditch diggers approve of this.

It takes hundreds of years in the vile Warp and unholy sorcery to train and equip one Chaos Space Marine. It takes two minutes for one determined guardsman to call in the artillery strike that will wipe said Marine off the face of the universe.

“What does not kill me… is not trying hard enough.”

That last chorus with the shots of the fallen guardsmen being put to rest and comforting the civilians mourning gave me chills. Honestly well done. People really forget the human element of this universe and its rarely shown or appreciated or even acknowledged. So I love to see it

Reasons why the imperium of Man is still around #1 Imperial guardsmen #2 Believe in the well of the emperor #3 The creation of the space Marines #4 Technological advancements

Favorite thing about this video? It uses a lot of the 40k animations, even the ones that were discontinued. So you have my respect!

Apologies! Reupload because of little faulty scenes. All fixed now. Enjoy! :D

Man I love the imperial guardsman. I want to be an imperial guardsman I want to charge head first into a chaos marine or a xeno. I want to die gloriously for a imperium that won’t remember me and I will happily do it in every life I have.

"Anyone who laughs at the laz gun has never walked through a field of them."

For ten thousand years the Imperial Guard have been holding the line against an infinite tide of Chao's and xeno's. They will hold they will hold for ten thousand more. LONG LIVE THE IMPERIUM OF MAN!!!

May the emperor protect you brother.

"I am an Imperial commissar. I will enflame the weak, support the wavering, guide the lost. I will be all things to all men who need me. But I will also punish without hesitation the incompetent, the cowardly, and the treasonous!"

The Imperial Guard, the true heroes of Mankind.

Fictional characters, sure, but they are a real insipiration to me in life. No superhuman abilities, just unbreakable willpower and teamwork holding back billions of horrible enemies. We have and can achieve incredible feats, even ones we previously thought impossible, if we rely on our own strength and the stength of those around us. If only we realised how much potential we truly had.

''What is the most powerfull weapon of Mankind? Holy Machines of Adeptus Mechanicus? Never! Legions of Astartes? Never! tanks? lasers? fists? neither! it is courage, and it alone surpasses everyone!'' Lord Commander Macharius.

My armor is contempt. My shield is disgust. My sword is hatred. In the Emperor's name let none survive! WE ARE THE WALLS OF STEEL AND IRON. WE ARE BETWEEN A THOUSAND HORRORS TOO UNSPEAKABLE TO NAME - WE ARE THE WALLS OF HELL!

"Even the strongest Chaos Daemon can´t survive a large enough number of lasgun fire." -Every Commisar, ever

these's guys and the space marine are the definition of brotherhood and devotion

Tanith first and only. Gaunts ghosts. Best regiment.

Will say out of all the gaurd I would want Krieg sent to my world of it was invaided. Then at the very least I know it was taken back and maybe even in better management. I doubt I would survive myself but at least I know died I beside some of the emperors finest.

10 000 years he has held the line.

The Imperial Guard wouldn't be so easy to wreck if they had...shovels.

The Astra Militarum are the real heroes of the imperium. The little man fighting the big fight.

"By the Throne we shall take this city! Either the walls crumble before our volleys or our bodies pile so high that our tanks may roll over them!" - Commissaire Lyre rallying the Armageddon 81st.

The imperial guard will send more soldiers than The enemy has bullets

It's time to strap our boots on This is a perfect day to die Wipe the blood out of our eyes In this life there's no surrender There's nothing left for us to do Find the strength to see this through We are the ones who will never be broken With our final breath We'll fight to the death We are soldiers, we are soldiers Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh We are soldiers I stand here right beside you Tonight, we're fighting for our lives Let me hear your battle cry Your battle cry We are the ones who will never be broken With our final breath We'll fight to the death We are soldiers, we are soldiers Yeah! We stand shoulder to shoulder We stand shoulder to shoulder We stand shoulder to shoulder You can't erase us, you'll just have to face us! We stand shoulder to shoulder We stand shoulder to shoulder We stand shoulder to shoulder You can't erase us, you'll just have to face us! (Face us) We are the ones who will never be broken (Be broken) With our final breath We'll fight to the death We are soldiers, we are soldiers We are the ones who will not go unspoken No, we will not sleep We are not sheep We are soldiers, we are soldiers Yeah! Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh We are soldiers Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh We are soldiers

I do love the fact that the Cadians in this are shown to be more human compared to the cloned army almost machine like mentality of the Kriegsman.

We fight and die so that others may live. FOR THE EMPEROR!!

FOR THE EMPEROR!

Ending clip is got me a little sadness

For let it be known, 'The planet fell before the Guard did.'

This is so much honoring of human spirit, as imperial guard to marines are defenders of humanity I all ways salute the soldiers fictional and real how defend their nation and loved ones.

the ending hit me hard though

Beneath the boots of billions the deed will be done, No matter the casualties, there will never be surrender.

0 dislikes.... The emperor aproves :)

2:05 You know you're fucked when the Commissar is pointing the gun at the enemies.

This song just hits different 💯👊🪖

Took some time but it is finally here! The Imperial Guard video, Soldiers of the Imperium of Mankind in the Warhammer 40k universe. Tried to involve as many Imperial regiments as possible. I hope I made you guys all satisfied with the result. Leave a like, a comment and subscribe for more! See you guys in the next video. Leave also in the comments down below what your favorite Imperial Guard Regiment is. Mine is the Death Korps Of Krieg with Steel Legion as a close second.

2:45 My favorite shot

As always beautifully crafted and presented as a story with a strong audio background. Enjoyed every second of this video.

Should be dedicated to our boy SODA for getting a contract with GW rip AL his old WH40k videos. Great work on the music video bro

Damn boy, tomorow you go to the Imperial guard.

It even looks like the song was in fact inspired on the imperial guard

Playing this song in my head got me through all the hard times in basic training

Едрить.... Это.... Это идеально.... Прям нет слов!)

Ah, the true hero of 40K. The Imperial Guardsman.

This is pure art. I love this song to death and you just made such a clean cut and awesome music video of my favourite universe. Thank you for this video and I hope to see more of it!

So cool

Those flashlights get pretty deadly after 40,000 years of redesigns.

I cant believe you actually used the song! I am glad you used the recommendation of mine from the Attack of the Dead Men video!

Ah yes. Imperial Guardsmen. The Emperor's middle finger.

I love it. The guard are the backbone of the Imperium.

My bayonet is forever ready! I’ll lay my life for my next brother!

Idk how many times I watched this, but I will do it again and again, because it's beautiful

They Are the Real Héroes from Warhammer

Never underestimate the guardsmen. We have held the line for 10k years and we kept the line strong. As the emperor wills it.

So long as one Cadian still stands fighting then Cadia stands with us!

I like Space Marines / Adeptus Astartes as much as any other imperium fan, but i'm more of a BIG fan of the Astra Militarum and its Imperial Guard regiments, especially the Cadians, i used to have catachans..but i then moved onto Cadians as they had that more space-trooper theme to them, similiar to starship troopers, plus the fact that the Space marines respect cadians a helluva lot says alot about cadians in general!. Cadia Stands!. Also it is true, that the guard do 99% of the work and the space marines swoop in and take all the credit in most cases, unless thats not true...i honestly would stick with the guard through and through, because they don't have any fancy power armour or anything like that, they just have pure faith,courage,bravery and guts behind a Lasgun and everything else and fighting pretty much all of the imperiums enemies non-stop.

2:30 Well isn't that a perfect combo even as they march towards the front.

Awesome video music really fits well. Even though it is a fictional universe you get a feel of What they had to do

A normal human facing the horrors of this world is inspiring

They have held the line for 10,000 years.

I like when the song says "we will not be broken" it's the DKoK.

I love how this animation keeps its tone so loud and clear

Armed with only cheaply made armor they stand as the shields of the Imperium, with their backs to the wall they willingly fight to the last, you'll see a Space Marine and give them the respect they deserve, but when you look at a guardsman you will salute for they serve to the end of their short rope with nothing but pride.

Salute For the Imperial Guard!, You Clone trooper !,And For the Emperor !.

Helsreach, such a good animation

Good job soldier, FOR THE EMPEROR!

I love this song, now I love it even more 💪

Perfection at it's finest

Epic... GO SOLDIERS ¡BY THE EMPEROR!

I love how the guardsmen actually care for the citizens

Keep them coming Spartan! Your editing is superb putting music vids together.

The emperor protects

Nothing can compare to the joy I felt when I saw a Krieg with a shovel charging forward.

The deathkorp of Krieg don't need whistles and horns to motivate them to attack, they need those to tell them when to stop

This would make a perfect movie trailer.

WOW MISSED THIS ONE, thx a good... get... back... up... song. Thank you for making this. No words are enough

There are some other songs that could be done, small lyrical changes to make them MORE 40k themed but this is awesome!

The Imperial Guard is the wall on which the enemies of Man break.

Kriegsmen looking to Commisar: CAN WE CHARGE YET?

There once stood a mighty fortress
