Since there seems to be a major interest in the game here, I have created this thread.

First of all,
"For the Emperor!"

Second,
The Imperial Guard does more work and takes more casualties and is just 100% more awesome than those damned arrogant Space Marine Jerks.

Third,
The Imperial Guard has so many troops it lost count.

Fourth,
Cadia!

Fifth,
Flashlight LasGun volleys own.

Last and most awesome of all,
CIAPHAS CAIN, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!

For The Empire, indeed

I once made a conversion for the old bungie game myth 2 soulblighter. It was the warhammer 40K heretic s pace marines.

-Sonix, The Heretic Marine Of Awesomeness

The Imperial Guard has more men than you have bullets!

What in Carl Sagan's name is Warhammer 40k?

As I said, what in Carl Sagan's name is Warhammer 40k? TVTropes can't cut it.

If you don't like it GTFO.

I don't see why people don't like space marines. Honestly Impeiral gaurds can shoot their pew pew lasers all they want but a terminator marine could wipe thousands of them in a single breath. Plus you don't wanna see what a dreadnought can do.

Hmm, I looked at the link and I guess it seems acceptable. I'm
just not into tabletop games.

There are videogames.

Also

The Imperium would fall apart without the Imperial Guard.

Just sayin'

Commissar: "CHAOS IS AT THE GATES!"

Governor Militant: "Throw more men at them."

Guardsmen: "BUT SIR!"

Commissar: "HERESY!!" *BLAM*

A Guardsman slumps limply to the ground in a pool of blood...


And that is the Imperial Guard.

You forgot the most important part.

Millions of men charging at Chaos screaming: For the Emperor!
Millions of men dying
Chaos runs out of bullets and gets covered in bodies
Commissar: Send in the tanks!
Chaos: Crap.

As I always say, Khârn the Betrayer was pretty fun to be around, and contrary to popular belief he actually had a sense of humor as well. Probably the best example was in the middle of the campaign during a sweeping of an Imperial Guard command post, with Khorne Berserkers and our Red Rivers company marching directly into the defensive fire. The closer we got, the more apparent it became that the only thing holding the Guardsmen together was a grizzled looking Commissar in full uniform, one gun turned on us and another firing on any of his men who looked like running.

Khârn was at the tip of the assault, and so he got to the Commissar first, plucking the screaming officer up by the neck and holding him over his head.

Then, out of nowhere one of the other berserkers grabs the Commissar's legs and roars "MAKE A WISH!". Well, as you can imagine everyone on both sides forgets about the fight, and watches Khârn and this other Khorne-worshiping marine just start pulling on this Commissar at both ends, the old man screaming out oaths and curses like you wouldn't believe! You could almost hear the sound of flesh tearing and bone snapping over the cheering.

Then, Khârn just let go. Totally not expecting it and pulling with all his might, the Khorne Berserker just falls backwards and starts tumbling with the near dead Commissar into a damaged hellhound, his armor grating off it and sparking!

Well, after the explosion we all turned back to Khârn, who had managed to keep a hold of the Commissar's fancy hat. Ol' Khârn put it on, and damned if it wasn't the funniest thing any of us had ever seen... till he turned to us and bellowed "I'M THE NEW COMMISSAR" at us.

They tell me five thousand traitor guardsmen died that day before someone could take that hat off him.

What a kidder!

...I have been inspired to write a short story based on Warhammer 40k.

Looking around, the lore seems pretty decent. Have I got this right:

It's focused on humanity as some space empire called the Imperium, who worship some mysterious Emperor god. They have soldiers called Space Marines who are like Spartans but cooler looking, and Imperial Guard are like the mass army. They hate every other race and fight Orcs (in space!), Elves and traitor Space Marines called Chaos.

If that's right, I will officially declare myself a fan of the story and look into it more. I don't think playing the game would suit me though.
