I simply love the imperial guard because of their attitude. When you're facing orcish hordes, chaos demons, ancient eldar, necron legions and all other terrible races/creatures of the warhammer universe. You'll see your first invasion against the xenos and the heretics fail.. Shortly after your second invasion force will be annihilated.. Then the third invasion dies out... but your forces keep coming... And coming... And coming... - For every one of us that falls.. TEN MORE WILL TAKE HIS PLACE!!
10/5 !!!! Amazing ending, and greta music, fitted the IG perfectly! Also, for those of you who are unaware of us. We are the Hammer of the Emperor, we strike down the enemies of the Imperium, crushing everything before us with the Lght of the one TRUE God-Emperor. The Death Korps of Krieg has always been, we are, and we will forever be standing our lines and fight. That's what we do best. We die while we stand our grounds.
"To each of us falls a task. And all the Emperor requires of us Guardsmen is that we stand the line, and we die fighting. It is what we do best. We die standing." -General Sturnn, 412 Cadian
It's one of the best pictures that emphasizes the courage of the Guard. I mean, holy shit, that ax the Ork is holding looks bigger than him. But he's a soldier, and commissar or no commissar, when the enemy is in front of you, you've got to CHARGE! Too bad the poor sod probably got cut in half.
The Emperor is our guiding light, A beacon of hope for humanity in a galaxy of darkness, as we serve him, he is our greatest servant. as we pray to him, his thoughts are only for us. And in the dark when the shadows threaten, The Emperor is with us, In spirit and in fact.
@FlameAlchemist69 I spent my time learning and remembering to detail the Necrons histroy. Still a lot for me to study :P. Favorite Races: IG, Necrons, Tau, Orks.
@Jompo92 it looks like a carapace armour = some stormtrooper or kasrkin, so they are either an orphan from any random part of the galaxy or cadian elite.
The various implants have to be installed at a young age, the highest a simple guardsmen can go would either be the higher echelons of the officerhood, or to be selected as a member of an inquisitor's retinue as an inquisitorial storm trooper.
The Imperial Gaurd: a bunch of average-Joes some not over 14 years, old fighting monsters, aliens, giant Bug freaks and undead robot Pirates, sometimes with nothing more than a lasegun.... to protect their homes and family. I respect you Gaurdmen!
The imperium would be gone in months at the most without the guard in a never ending battle to keep humanity safe. We are under constant attack, yet the imperium is still around doesn't that say a lot, that the guard is winning most of those battles and that we loose more worlds than we gain because we are attacked from all sides. The imperial guard is a force to be reckoned with and if we were losing most of our battles the imperium would be getting very small very fast.
whether your playing the table top version or the dawn of war ver, there's nothing quite like the imperial guard for holding the line with massed ranks, tanks, and most impressively long range artillery basilisks. as long as your carefull, or have heavy back up you can grind almost anything to pulp. On the subject of Gaunt's Ghosts I usualy think of them as less regular army and more like modern day marines with there think outside the box mentality.
target practice? when hot artillery fire rain down upon you, when our war machines flatten out your heretics, when our supreme fire power over whelms your strongest Daemon, we are the ones in the end who yell TARGET PRACTICE!
My Crimson Fists Astartes often fight alongside the troops of my friends 3rd Cadia-Regiment, and they do fit pretty well. We all serve the one and only rightous Emperor Progenitor, and may all our enemys fall to ashes.
@CoreMarine Actually Ogryns and Ratlings are examples of so-called 'abhuman' species, humans who have lived on low/high gravity worlds and evolved to fit the environment. They are tolerated since they fill important roles in the Imperial Guard, but there are other 'abhuman' speices that have been destroyed by the inquisition for various reasons such as dangerous psychic abilities.
@MyCrownOfWorms they have more than enough people to hold them off havent you heard the guards men say "where one of us falls ten more are ready to replace him"
I have at my command an entire battle group of the Imperial Guard. Fifty regiments, including specialized drop troops, stealthers, mechanized formations, armored companies, combat engineers and mobile artillery. Over half a million fighting men and thirty thousand tanks and artillery pieces are mine to command. Emperor show mercy to the fool that stands against me, for I shall not
Jasper: Because the Imperial Guard have Techpriest Enginseers in their Ranks Tyler: In the books the Imperial guard have access to experimental Powered Combat armor ( Sripped Down version of Space marine armor) and its not an assault cannon is a Chaingun differences lies in Ammo Caliber and Weight of the weapon and its stopping power.
@Comrade4561 Orgyns, Ratlings (i forget what they are called) and there is one more alien thing (i think) that I know is in the Warhammer 40k games along with Orgyns but I forget what they are called. (I think they start with a K).
The only outdate gear that i seem to notice are the tanks that dont have sloped armour.While most of the infantry gear seems like it was late coldwar period if anything.
It all depends on the regiment in question really. What you saw most probablly was the Krieg company which has wepons that look like they are from WW1 actually gassmasks and all.
@theninjaswerehere Depends on which recruit world you're refeering to, The people of Cadia usally get military education from the first day they can walk.
@FlameAlchemist69 Unfortunately for me, I had no idea that they weren't called Xenos. I don't exactly understand all the races and/or units that fight in the armies I just play the games. (Tabletop and virtual.)
living in the 41st millenium is cold, but simple and satisfying. You have a goal in live, you have a united race, you have a real god. I would love to either be a space marine or a member of the imperial guard. What is life worth if you do nothing with it?
You are right, but in Dark Apostle for example the 133rd Elysians fight with (relative) success against a host of Word Bearers of more than 1000 marines
@Razgriz515 In apocalypse, one sniper killed Abbaddon and wounded a Khorne Lord, just right after my own baneblade got catastrophically destroyed and wiped out my entire army :(
The wierd thing is the imperium wants to keep chaos a secret from the guardsmen any IG that knows about chaos is executed unless they have special permission from the space marines
@ma82fo Given what I've seen of the Imperial StarFleet, while its dreadnoughts are heavily armed and armoured they have several serious design flaws....they are primarily broadside armoured vessels with one (or rarely two) spinal mounts. Meaning you must turn the ship to aim the weapons. My fleet would be comprised of more modern vessels with turreted weaponry. Fewer guns, but able to outgun the Imperium by bringing more weapons to bear in a given direction....
Is that a storm trooper at 2. 40 with an assault cannon strapped to his arm if so what the hell i thought only terminators had assault cannons as personal weapons
The artwork for the warhammer 40K is so good
I agree Fifteen Hours is brill
go imperial guard! im happy to own an army of imperial guard!
what i cannot crush with words
i can crush with the tanks of the Imperial Guard
Rockin choice of music pal. Freedom Fighters FTW!!!
Duuuuuud cool video. NICE WORK 5 stars. Imperial guard is my absolute favorite race!!! Tu me they rock :D
Chaos Player: "Oh i just lost one LP,.... well nevermind"
Guard Player: "That´s what Horus said too!"
"It's better to die for the Emperor than to live for yourself"
Damn. Theartwork was very well done. 5 stars. Keep them comming!

imperial guard: one is NEVER enough for anything ever

GOOD vid.I LIKE THOSE IMPERIAL SOLDIERS IT REMINDS ME OF THE STARSHIPTROOPER BUT MORE BADASS
BATTLEFIELD 2142 MUSIC! OMFG! *favourited all your vids and liked them*
CADIA STANDS!

@MyCrownOfWorms BECAUSE WE GUARDSMEN DIE STANDING. legendary words my friend
For every hero commemorated, a thousand martyrs die, unmourned and unremembered
The Imperium is a big place.
I could see Marines learning a thing or two from the Guard in certain situations.
Cadian,Valhallan and Vostroyan regiments are my fav
Nice. I was in fact going to use this song for my Imperial Guard originally.
Nice vid. Love the song brings encouragement
Good choice of song man, i remember hearing it playing Freedom Fighters back in the day. Keep up the good work ^^b
Without this video I would have never discovered Warhammer. Thank you 2009 youtube

go imperial guard! they're the true heroes of humanity
Perfection!

257th Imperial Guard Armor Regiment at your command! For the glory of the God Emperor in His name we will not fail!
your heresy is only temporary...but the emperor is eternal
Awesome!
jentlemen with the knew codex prepere for the ride of the valkiries..... long live the emperor hail to the imperial guard!!!
To us chaos we have another name for the imperial guard TARGET PRACTICE!!
@FlameAlchemist69 I spent my time learning and remembering to detail the Necrons histroy. Still a lot for me to study :P.

@Horus998 thats the theme song for the game Freedom Fighters for the original X-Box.
Only balls of the truest steel can make the men and women of the Imperial Guard do what they do and do it right.
the imperial guard is nothing but cattle before the power of the dark gods!
The various implants have to be installed at a young age, the highest a simple guardsmen can go would either be the higher echelons of the officerhood, or to be selected as a member of an inquisitor's retinue as an inquisitorial storm trooper.

2:39 This picture is awesome!

BF to the Imperial guard! Bless you man! :D
Immortality is the Gift of Chaos
It's one thing to fight Chaos when you're a space marine, but try being a guardsman
georgekostaras space Marines are cowards compared to the guard!
first time i heard this i said O YEAH THIS IS MY GUARDS MARCHING THEME!
My Crimson Fists Astartes often fight alongside the troops of my friends 3rd Cadia-Regiment, and they do fit pretty well. We all serve the one and only rightous Emperor Progenitor, and may all our enemys fall to ashes.
@theninjaswerehere What makes them so badass is that they succeed. "They will learn to fear me."
@CoreMarine

agreed, the spartans at Thermopoli held off the persian empire for i forgot how long. Leonidas was a great commander and it showed strategically.
@MyCrownOfWorms they have more than enough people to hold them off havent you heard the guards men say "where one of us falls ten more are ready to replace him"

GLORY TO THE EMPEROR
They have the most badass tanks in their universe, if not THE BEST, superior number means its hard for the enemy to defeat them
good making
"Some say it's good to die for the Eperor, I say it's better to kill for him."
- Lord-Fieldmarshall Aaron Tyursk, of the 407. Terra -
Imperial Guard!!! Flashlight guns WOOH!!
Let us rest this argument then and combine our powers to overcome chaos!
oh i remember the first soundtrack from Freedom fighters, this makes me want to play that game so much, too bad they scraped the sequal.
Because that's the artistic style for the Leman Russ.
Excellent tribute, I may prefer the space marines but I.G. is also really good if you know how to use them
All hail Ollanius Pius - He held the line.
When the going gets tough, the IG send in more men!!!!!!
All hail immortal god emperor, our shield!
@Comrade4561 Orgyns, Ratlings (i forget what they are called) and there is one more alien thing (i think) that I know is in the Warhammer 40k games along with Orgyns but I forget what they are called. (I think they start with a K).
The BesT! FOR THE EMPEROR! LONG LIVE THE IMPERIAL GUARD!
The Necrons will consume all. Not even the Imperial Guard will be able to stop them. We are just souls for them to consume.
@Martinenkovy i absolutely agree with you mate..
The only outdate gear that i seem to notice are the tanks that dont have sloped armour.While most of the infantry gear seems like it was late coldwar period if anything.
FOR TANITH! FOR THE EMPEROR!
THX :)
@MyCrownOfWorms Simple:Commisars-"Whentheres something scary on the front put something scarier on the back......"
"When in doubt, throw more men at it."
@ImperialGuard9001 Pretty often it's rather "either you die now, or serve first and die after some time"...
It all depends on the regiment in question really. What you saw most probablly was the Krieg company which has wepons that look like they are from WW1 actually gassmasks and all.
Imperial Guard = the hammer of the empire of man
@theninjaswerehere Depends on which recruit world you're refeering to, The people of Cadia usally get military education from the first day they can walk.
FOR THE EMPEROR!!!
March Of The Empire.
The Imperial Guard ftw : D
Fat Vid ,thumbs up !!Where can i find the pic of this forward jumping guard at 2:06
@FlameAlchemist69 Unfortunately for me, I had no idea that they weren't called Xenos. I don't exactly understand all the races and/or units that fight in the armies I just play the games. (Tabletop and virtual.)
living in the 41st millenium is cold, but simple and satisfying.
You have a goal in live, you have a united race, you have a real god.
I would love to either be a space marine or a member of the imperial guard.
What is life worth if you do nothing with it?
for everyone that falls ten more will take his place... lets see chaos deal with that!!!
FOR THE EMPEROR!
You are right, but in Dark Apostle for example the 133rd Elysians fight with (relative) success against a host of Word Bearers of more than 1000 marines
@Razgriz515 In apocalypse, one sniper killed Abbaddon and wounded a Khorne Lord, just right after my own baneblade got catastrophically destroyed and wiped out my entire army :(
Glory the Imperium of Man!
Man, the Battlefield 2142 main theme is an excellent choice for this vid. And I suppose March of the Empire is a good choice too.
Have to say the guardsman in 2:05 is one brave guy
True
The Last Chancers, and 15 Hours best books MADE
Do not ask how you may give your life for the Emperor. Ask instead how you may give your death
The wierd thing is the imperium wants to keep chaos a secret from the guardsmen any IG that knows about chaos is executed unless they have special permission from the space marines
By the Emperor it shall be so!
@ma82fo Given what I've seen of the Imperial StarFleet, while its dreadnoughts are heavily armed and armoured they have several serious design flaws....they are primarily broadside armoured vessels with one (or rarely two) spinal mounts.
