My favorite part in Cadia Stands is when these two guardsmen escape the destruction of Cadia onto a Space Wolves ship, and two Space Marines on the ship make the Aquila and the two guardsmen stop but the one that brought them there just says: “Do not fear. They are saluting you.”
The Space Wolves have long held high regard for the Guard dating all the way back to the first battle of Armageddon.
For those who don't know the story, when Chaos and their Daemon masters invaded Armageddon, the Guard fought side by side with many Space Marine chapters as well as others in some of the fiercest fighting on the planet. Afterward, the Inquisition decided that members of the Guard knowing about Daemons was too high a risk to the Imperium and ordered the murder of those units. To protect hose who had stood side by side with them, the Space Wolves managed to get the last couple of living Guard Divisions to their homeworld of Fenris. Upon tracking them, the Inquisition had the planet besieged with their ships and ships of the Grey Knights Chapter. Their threat was that if the Guard units were not handed over, then the Space Wolves and their Chapter World would be all declared Excommunicatis Traitoris and subjected to the Exterminatus. To prevent this, the Guard en mass volunteered to sacrifice themselves one last time. They marched out to their doom with heads high.
Because of this honor, those Guardsmen are the only non-Wolves whose names are listed amongst the honored dead of the CHapter. Also, the Wolves' distrust and hate of the Inquisition and the Grey Knights were born.
Thus the courage of the two rescued from Cadia resonates with the Wolves as this time they could truly protect the heroes.

"A Guardsman's LIFE is to die. My job has always been to send them where they CAN die. I'm not afraid to spend men, but I never waste them!" - General Castor
“We do not know what our chances of survival are, so we fight as if they were zero. We do not know what we are facing, so we fight as if it was the dark gods themselves. No one will remember us now and we may never be buried beneath Titan, so we will build our own memorial here. The might lose us and the Imperium might never know we existed, but the Enemy - the Enemy will know. The Enemy will remember. We will hurt it so badly that it will never forget us until the stars burn out and the Emperor vanquishes it at the end of time. When Chaos is dying, its last thought will be of us. That is our memorial - carved into the heart of Chaos."
FOR THE EMPEROR!!
EDIT: for all the people. I know it the grey knight quote and saying, but I really liked it because if you take the chapter out and SPACHMARINE. It a great saying for the Guard. If the space marine can take all the credit for saving the emperor. When we know a imperial guard who wasn't even a follower of the faith of the god emperor. Then I believe the guard can take one quote from the SPACHMARINES.
Ok, so the Grey Knights are also here. That's nice.

I thought the guard didn't know about the forces of chaos.

@@dionjaywoollaston1349 One Lasgun shot is a small dingy but millions of lasguns shooting is death to traitors and heretics.

Titani-what? EMPEROR BLESSED ADAMANTIUM BALLS! STANDARD ISSUE FOR THE GUARD!
Space Marines aren't brave. Being truly brave, is being a weak, fleshy human with no genetic enhancements, no inches thick power armor and no rapid-fire rocket launcher. The Imperial Guard have only their flak armor, their lasgun and the man beside them for protection and the courage to stand their ground against the very worst the cruel universe can throw at them. And they do, in their billions they stand their ground, bayonets fixed, they hold their ground against the darkness. Imperial Guardsmen are brave, they are *Heroic*

I love that the Imperiom of Man is this, clusterfuck of different cultures that are heavily based on real on going cultures or long forgotten ones
Something that just isn't talked about enough is just the sheer size of the Imperium. It's so big and galaxy spanning that the Imperium is really more of a loose confederation of millions of planets than an actual unified central body. This is why the Inquisition and Ecclesiarchy is so necessary, because really the only thing holding the Imperium together is the belief in mankind and the Emperor, along with the force applied by those two institutions. Also keep in mind, the only real way that planets are able to communicate with any sort of short time span is through psykers, otherwise they're reliant on radio or cable forms of communication once in a local system, so without instantaneous communication it's incredibly hard to have any sort of unified culture or government.
Enemies of the Imperium hear me
You have come here to die
The immortal Emperor is with us and we are invincible
His soldiers will strike you down
His war machines will crush you under their treads
His mighty guns will bring the very sky fall upon you
We are the Imperial Guard and today is our victory day!
Ah, I see you're a fellow man of culture as well
good quote but I gotta say you misquoted a bit of it "His mighty guns will bring the very sky fall upon you" should be "His mighty guns will bring the vary sky crashing down upon you"
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!
"I can feel the warp overtaking me... IT IS A GOOD PAIN!"
*Adept of the Collegia Titanica. Stands by*
At the end of the day, though he's been ferried through hell on a ship that's ten thousand years old to some godforsaken, war-torn rock; though he deployed from high orbit with nothing but a grav chute; though he is one of ten million men and women snatched from his homeworld to fight a war he barely understands; though he has been given a weapon that fires small suns and may annihilate him as he fires because the knowledge of how it functions has been lost; though his company is supported by tractor-tanks that run on anything you can burn; though he wages war against a devouring hivemind, ravenous demons and hordes of hyper-advanced aliens with strange technologies and sorceries he never dreamed existed; no one will remember his sacrifice, there will be no records of his deeds, no glorious parades in his honor, and no remembrance of his name. All he will earn is a shallow, unmarked grave on a forgotten world untold lightyears from home.
Yet for all this thankless sacrifice a Guardsman is a man, just like you. He has no millennia-old genetic engineering, no prophetic leader, no miracles of faith. He has his lasgun, his orders, and those beside him. He is an Imperial Guardsman.
And he will hold the line.
+++ CADIA STANDS HERETIC +++
Cadia stands, brother.
A large group of Tau soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a small hill: "One Imperial Guard is better than ten Tau!"
The Tau commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the hill, where upon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence.
The voice once again calls out: "One Guardsmen is better than one hundred Tau."
Furious, the Tau commander sends his next best 100 troops over the hill and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again Silence.
The calm Guardsman voice calls out again: "One Guardsmen is better than one thousand Tau!"
The enraged Tau commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the hill. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is fought! Then silence. . .
Eventually one badly wounded Tau fighter crawls back over the hill and with his dying words tells his commander: "Don't send any more men. . .it's a trap! There's two of them! . . ."

Despite it's grim dark setting, no science fiction franchise gives me as much hope as Warhammer 40k.
No other franchise dares to predict that we will not only be around in 38,000 years, but we will be able to fend off mindless monsters, literally demons from hell, and entire civilizations intent on our destruction. Warhammer40k predicts we can hang on not with fancy wonder technology or godlike A.I's, but with nothing more than overpowered flashlights, bayonets, faith and the human spirit.
The emperor protects! (but don't retreat or the Commisar will have to shoot you.)

Adore this vid, great work!
A soldier once asked me, "when did the guard form?"
I told him of a legend, of a myth so old no one knows if it's even true or not. Passed down through the countless generations of guardsmen.
Tens of thousands of years ago, before the Emperor, before the first age of the Imperium, when mankind was still reaching for the stars. Their was a simple soldier, one you would find anywhere. He saw the first portal open to hell and in a desperate defense fought legion after legion. In time he would stand with others against the hordes invading Holy Terra, never yielding even as his rage grew. Soon, he was forced to make a choice: retreat to the distant colonies or charge into the heart of the enemy. He chose to stand, alone, against impossible odds. His wrath upon the demons instilled a level of fear unmatched in their history, and to this day they still fear those soldiers armed in green armor. The constant reminder of the one being they could not defeat.
He was the first to hold the line in the name of mankind, as you in turn do so soldier. . .
Best.Crossover.Ever!
Commissar : must force his soldiers to hold the line at all cost.

In the immortal words of Commissar Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM, "Frak this!"
"Astra mili what? Your in the guard son!"
Both the writing and voice acting in these videos are fantastic
Every 40k video from you guys gives goosebumps! love it!
Inside a guardsman beats the heart of a man, more powerful than any weapon in the universe.
"A guardsman lives in the present because he has no future"
In Holy Terra, in this entire Imperium. WE RESPECT OLLANIUS PIUS, the CHAD
Quite possibly your greatest video so far.
PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD
15:36 "Illegally modified to deliver more energy per shot."
Wait, there's laws on show strong a lazgun can be? I'm real new to warhammer and that doesn't make sense.
No, because when you use more energy per shot you faster run out your battery. Instead of reloading, GRAB YOUR BAYONET AND KILL THESE XENOS SCUM!
there are illegal multi-barrel lasguns, that's what I remember off the top of my head
Obviously yes, because its electrical components are made to specification and don't like excess voltage or amperage just like any other electrical device.
It's like trying to overcharge an electric car, of course something will burn out eventually if you try.
Only a certified Tech-Priest is allowed to make modifications to your weapon
Pretty sure the unsanctioned modification of imperial equipment would be considered some kind of tech heresy. Gotta get those toasterfuckers on Mars to dip it in oil and mumble in binary for a few weeks first.
naming and describing every single regiment gave me goosebumps, 40K & the templin institute are truly a level above everything else
Out of all the myriad of factions and sub factions within WH40K, the Imp-Guard is perhaps, no it is with certainty, my favorite. And only for the simple fact that they are truly Mortal, they are truly brave, and they are truly worthy of respect. The other factions possess some grandiose augmentation or genetic BS to be effective. The Guard have their fear, guts, faith, and simple damned stubbornness. That's it. And that's way more BA than some goon in poofy armour. At least to me.
All the factions are cool, but the Imp-Guard are the real badasses, to me.
Tell me if I'm wrong but I think lasguns are like Ak47, but in space
With lasers
