Fun fact: The plasma gun is not designed to ever explode if it ever goes critical. It will just vent all heat out right on to the wielder killing them instantly.
But the way it vents all that heat means the air literally catches on fire so from someone nearby watching it vent it would look like the guns just exploded.
_And_ if there’s a third party involved in the fighting, it’s fairly easy to bribe Orks into attacking said party (So long as you’re prepared to fight off the Orks using said bribe against you later on, but sometimes you have to go with the lesser evil).
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire There's actually a situation where Imperial Guard and Orks worked together to fight off a Tyranid invasion, and genuinely meshed well together as Ork ferocity and Imperial decipline complimented each other really well. It's actually a pretty cool moment where both sides worked together for a common goal and genuinely seemed to kinda respect one another. The book's called Enemy of my Enemy in case you wanted to check it out.
@Briselance Well, they would usually only exterminatus for chaos, which knowledge of corrupts normal folk, or for tyranids, in which case he probably was genestolen anyway.
Or recruited into an ad hoc Inquisitorial team with a bunch of other malcontents and loaned out to psychotic interrogators on their paths to inquisitordom.
To be fair... 1. The guys who were killed by Drukhari got off lucky by being killed, and that quickly. 2. That Kriegsman was probably sad that he was the only one who HADN'T been killed... until he was, which probably made him happy.
Later that Drukhari scrapped his blade searching for some dna to be given to their homunculi. And then that poor guardsman will wake up in his new body in Commoragh
I love this, because it is made by somebody who clearly understands the guard, there was a lot of care taken to show off some of the different regiments. Fantastic work man!

Screw that. I’m a Guardsman supporter, these folks are us fighting the horrors of the 41st Millennium. It took us training for at least 1-2 years, we are available and more numerous than the Space Marines, we can control almost most fields with numbers, we train to hold the line longer before the offensive, and we are more human to fight as a great entity.
For example@@javierpaniaguamontero1094 that you did your best to beat the enemy after you trained in the Imperial Guard in advanced for a few years but get your award stolen by some corrupted higher ups and treated us like rubbish. Do you like something like that will happen to you and your friendly brothers of arms?
while thats mostly true: they are actually the elite of their plentary forces. Its easily forgotten but unless you are in a penance battalion you where, at the time of you being put into the imperial guard: considered the best your planet has to offer.
Enough love? That implies that they get any at all. They've been out for over 2 years now, is it too much to ask for a singular novel from their perspective?
I love the contast between the simple shapes of the gardsmen and the more detailed enemies. Really helps convey that they really are just poor, interchangable, expendible guys being thrown up against much stronger foes to die.
Commissar: Okay men it was a hard fought battle. But we finally drove those xenos hordes back across the river. HQ has ordered us to hold this position until reinforcements arrive. Send a squad to guard the bridge. Lieutenant: Sir we suffered 90% casualties during the battle. The remaining 10% are wounded. Commissar: Then send the least wounded to guard the bridge.
That guardsman at the end who dies in the exterminatus should be kissing that inquisitors ring if only he could. He failed to see the hoard of daemonettes that just warped in who were "looking for a good time."
0:49 I don't know why but that's my favorite one haha, a lunatic alien with a rocket hammer just makes me laugh. Honestly seems like something the Brutes from Halo would pull.
That isn't a rocket hammer. It's an anti-tank explosive on a stick. Yes, their way of busting tanks isn't to fire the missile, but to get in close and swing it like a hammer onto the tank. They do it that way because it's more fun.
Honestly, the most unrealistic part of this video is the dark eldar bit. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the drukhari do not kill their victims anywhere near that quickly.
Oh don't worry, between the DE's medical tech & the human brains ability to survive decapitation for a fair bit, those poor saps will get to experience all the wonders of the Dark City
If the Space Marines disappeared the Imperium would fall in a year. If the Imperial Navy disappeared the Imperium would fall in a month. If the Imperial Guard disappeared the Imperium would fall in a day.
If the adeptus mechanicus disappeared the imperium would fall within the week If the adeptus custodes disappeared it means the imperium has already fallen
@@anthonyrodriguez8788 They are continuously fighting the hordes of daemons trying to invade through the broken Webway. If they disappeared Terra and the Astronomican would go out so... yeah Imperium wouldn't last long.
Honestly, if a guardsman actually see him it's either a "oh shit we are beyond fucked" situation amped up to 5000% or "I can't fucking believe it" situation.
@@yetipotato8567 A Karskin wouldn't have went down so easy and would have had a preternatural habit of looking over his shoulder considering how insane their training is. That must have been a guardsmen who was trying out storm trooper gear.
The guard, a bunch of dudes in the far future, with equipment barely superior to the current, just holding the line and fighting unspeakable terrors with nightmarish technology and monsters. Damn how I love the guard.
As a Guard fan, this is gold, but damn did you do that Kasrkin dirty. Still I love how you added a lot of the regiments personality in their deaths, keep it up!
Tbh I expected the end would be full of IG actually kicking ass since it's their gimmick. Hard-won battles but won by the sweat, courage and grit of the imperial guard
I admit, for me the best part is still the "jetpack" Ork and the look on the guardmen's faces that just screams "HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?!??" right before dying
Some of my favorite moments in 40K story is when Astartes honor guardsman. Salamander carrying slain guardsman off the field. Space Wolves saluting guardsman who stood in defense of Cadia even when the atmosphere was no longer breathable. In the wider spectrum of defending the Imperium of Man, the Imperial Guard is more vital than the Astartes.
In short, life frickin sucks for humanity, our enemies are generally bigger and/or more technologically advanced than us, very sadistic, and fighting on the front lines still beats life on the average world of the Imperium.
We all love the Guardsmen, their service of supplying the Hivemind with more and more biomass has not gone unappreciated and we implore more of the Imperium to conscript as soon as possible!
remember. An individual guardsmen might be able to do diddily squat against all the horrors in 40k. but 10,000 all fighting at the exact same time. well thats a whole lot of diddily as they say.
Impressive variety of Guardsmen and Xenos races. I think this is the first time ive seen an animation of the Tau where they aren't eating shit and this is the first time ive seen the Votaan doing anything in an animation.
The inquisitor sipping tea after dropping a planet buster gets me every time. Edit: Upon rewatching this for the 30th time, I had a thought, the inquisitor declared exterminatus because the guardsmen was shaking with fear, and the emperor protects, so I shall know no fear is part of their prayer. The guardsmen committed heresy by being afraid.
Awesome!! This is what love about the Guard. Just regular humans, fighting the unbelievable horrors of the galaxy, WITH SOLID BRASS BALLS!! Also, loved the Night Lord bit. AVE DOMINUS NOX!!
In a setting where you fight literal demons, aliens more brutal than a rabid grizzly bear, and your own people who are insane in every category, it takes a real badass as a regular human to face it all down.
-The laser rifle it "One Clip, One Kill !" I prefer my new weapon! The last words of the guardman who thinks Sergeant gave him a plasma gun because he likes him... 1:42
There's something poetic about the first and final guard killers of the video being Imperium. The Imperium: #1 cause of guardsmen death for 10,000+ years
Note the lack of any Catachan Jungle Fighters in this video. They were so badass, including them would undermine the helplessness of an average guardsman, which they most certainly are not.
All these foes will be crushed below a billion billion more of these boots. The guard is the only civilized force able to bring the whole galaxy down to their knees. Of all the horrors in this universe, the most terrifying is the constant rolling thunder of the artillery, the shrieking of the tracks, and the endless marching lines of brave guardsmen. The emperor protects.
@@BearThe-Small-Boy There's a lot more guardsmen than there are space marines. They're essentially the majority. There is more to it than sheer numbers though and despite the strength, they still need some help to get things done.
@@BearThe-Small-Boy quantity has a quality all its own, the tyranids are probably the only "people" in the galaxy that can outmatch the guard on sheer weight of numbers.
@@BearThe-Small-Boy when you have a hammer, every problem is a naill and the guard is the emperor's hammer, their infantry may be crap relative to the other factions but their artillery and tanks are second to none, even then they are also outnumbered when fighting againet orks and tyranids yet they still hold the line and push back againts the darkness
@@felop1187 The space marines I think are also called the scalpel, combine both a scalpel's precision cut and a hammer's force and you get good results.
0:44 Hey! I know this monster! He's one of those Tzeench lords that I had seen in a video about the animation of their deaths! And even, before that time that I mentioned there, something was said about the "Space Marine". Is Warhammer (the one with the lizard men and such) a shooter?
It’s a Lord of Change. A greater deamon of Tzeentch. I think they were in Boltgun but other than that I don’t think they are comming in games of 40k. Khorne gets all the glory. But they are the tabletop!
Catachan player here, I only ever lost 1 game. I still call bs on it. If you're in a 1v1v1 match and your two enemies go into melee, you should be allowed to gun them down. The only match I ever lost, this was back in the days when you could set up and not move your army, a Cadian player and CSM player tag teamed me in a 1v1v1 match, going into melee with each other than not rolling hits just to prevent me from shooting at their infantry because "can't shoot at units in melee" until the Chaos boys got close enough to melee my imps. It was utter bs. Only kills I got was a Chaos tank, 2 Chimeras, 1 Basilisk, 3 Sentinels and 3 Leman Russ. I'm still sore about that bulls**tery. Of course, I never won a match either, just draw after draw after bloody draw. Seems like we never had the time to actually finish a match or get done enough for a clear victor to be decided.
This video might be exactly why I pity the imperial guard but also why they're my favorite. When your sci-fi world has a faction where they send some random dudes to fight cosmic horror with disposable equipment but somehow actually holding the line, that faction already has my heart.
the only one that was happy? Krieg! becuase Krieg... also i do feel bad for those poor souls.

In a setting where you fight literal demons, aliens more brutal than a rabid grizzly bear, and your own people who are insane in every category, it takes a real badass as a regular human to face it all down.
Definitely a veteran guardsman created this. Intimate knowledge of guard life.
And yet they've held the line for millennia and will continue to hold the line. They deserve nothing but respect!
To be honest, guardsman have munitorum issued balls of adamantine. To face those odds and usually holding the horrors back takes courage.
Everyone on the battlefield is shooting and screaming in different language is the most warhammer thing I ever seen
Gotta say though, getting to play an armored company was pretty mint ... more so with the battery of basilisks at the back😂
That bit about the Dark Eldar is about as nice as you can expect to get with them.
Hey props for adding in different regiments :D A forgotten thing in GW's eyes...
Squats?!
Cool. :)
-The laser rifle it "One Clip, One Kill !"
I prefer my new weapon!
The last words of the guardman who thinks Sergeant gave him a plasma gun because he likes him... 1:42
I can now proudly say this video inspired me to look into Warhammer lore and start buying my own collection!
There's something poetic about the first and final guard killers of the video being Imperium.
The Imperium: #1 cause of guardsmen death for 10,000+ years
I hear your argument and raise to thee: my melee focused veteran kriegsman in Darktide who's an absolute menace towards the heretics of Atoma Prime.
Look, if you are fighting the Deldar, the ones killed by being chopped in half are the LUCKY ones.
Fun fact: On tabletop you can kill a titan by doing this 0:36
It is a long process, but it can be done
2:01 man, I *instantly* knew what was coming here, lol.
Outstanding work 👍👍👍👍
Only missed opportunities were cleaning out Ogryn bedrooms 😅 and the Mechanicus “consensually” turning you into a servitor
"Ain't that the truth " -Random Guardsmen
Note the lack of any Catachan Jungle Fighters in this video. They were so badass, including them would undermine the helplessness of an average guardsman, which they most certainly are not.
0:12 Gotta go fast.
Absolutely perfect!! XD
Best most hilarious way to portray the Guardsmen
Guards fans will watch this and say:
“See? The Imperium cares about humanity.”
"How fast can our Hive Cities reproduce to bring Imperial population numbers back up after we lost another planet yesterday?"
Yup, that sums up a Guardsman's lifestyle pretty well!
The Night Lord made me laugh.
AVE DOMINUS NOX!
Well, this was just saved to my "Keep permanently and watch often" playlist! For the Emporer!✊️
GREAT job on the Tyranids! 😍
All these foes will be crushed below a billion billion more of these boots. The guard is the only civilized force able to bring the whole galaxy down to their knees. Of all the horrors in this universe, the most terrifying is the constant rolling thunder of the artillery, the shrieking of the tracks, and the endless marching lines of brave guardsmen. The emperor protects.
amazing especially with the part with kreig
Im proud i can be here within the first 5 hours of upload, absolutely iconic content
Ironically, the most powerful force in the imperium is the imperial guard despite guardsmen being known for dying a lot.
How?
@@BearThe-Small-Boy There's a lot more guardsmen than there are space marines. They're essentially the majority. There is more to it than sheer numbers though and despite the strength, they still need some help to get things done.
@@BearThe-Small-Boy quantity has a quality all its own, the tyranids are probably the only "people" in the galaxy that can outmatch the guard on sheer weight of numbers.
@@BearThe-Small-Boy when you have a hammer, every problem is a naill and the guard is the emperor's hammer, their infantry may be crap relative to the other factions but their artillery and tanks are second to none, even then they are also outnumbered when fighting againet orks and tyranids yet they still hold the line and push back againts the darkness
@@felop1187 The space marines I think are also called the scalpel, combine both a scalpel's precision cut and a hammer's force and you get good results.

An alien with that colour palette and a needle point tail just screams Frieza to me...
2:09 Exterminatus moment.
Bro 😂😂😂😂😂Ace in the Skullllllll, the video is fire, best Warhammer 40k video of the millennium
1:46 "FOR KARL!"
Your video speaks to exactly why 40K is SO POPULAR and APPEALING to me! 👍👍👍👍
Вот это я понимаю вернулся, дак вернулся, Cool video
Bro actually gonna dip for 2 years at a time and then drop one of the best bits of 40k fan content
A scenario that was missed:
“look, the Emperor’s angels! We’re saved”
(It’s the Grey knights)
I love how you made the Valkrie look so 'Metal Slug'
0:44 Hey! I know this monster! He's one of those Tzeench lords that I had seen in a video about the animation of their deaths! And even, before that time that I mentioned there, something was said about the "Space Marine". Is Warhammer (the one with the lizard men and such) a shooter?
It’s a Lord of Change. A greater deamon of Tzeentch. I think they were in Boltgun but other than that I don’t think they are comming in games of 40k. Khorne gets all the glory. But they are the tabletop!
@@firethunderplasmaball5717I'm still curious if Warhammer is a shooter or a strategy game.
@@victorhernandes9151 yes
@@victorhernandes9151 If you want a shooter from fantasy Warhammer, try Vermintide.
"prepare to charge" hits me hard every time man
Proud imperial guard player, have lost every game I have ever played :)
Catachan player here, I only ever lost 1 game. I still call bs on it. If you're in a 1v1v1 match and your two enemies go into melee, you should be allowed to gun them down. The only match I ever lost, this was back in the days when you could set up and not move your army, a Cadian player and CSM player tag teamed me in a 1v1v1 match, going into melee with each other than not rolling hits just to prevent me from shooting at their infantry because "can't shoot at units in melee" until the Chaos boys got close enough to melee my imps. It was utter bs. Only kills I got was a Chaos tank, 2 Chimeras, 1 Basilisk, 3 Sentinels and 3 Leman Russ. I'm still sore about that bulls**tery.
Of course, I never won a match either, just draw after draw after bloody draw. Seems like we never had the time to actually finish a match or get done enough for a clear victor to be decided.
I just realized that you made those tau vidios. Amazing seeing your more longform content. I have been blasting this every time i can
