Lex Imperator! By my blade and my brand of sanctioning, I swear to serve till the day of my death in the defense of the Imperium of Man, in the purging of the taint of heresy and mutation from within, and in the destruction of the fithy xenos! I pledge my soul, safe only in binding to the Emperor most Divine, to this holy task! Only thus may I purge myself of the unclean taint of my psyker nature! For the Emperor, and for Holy Terra!
@genestealerhybrid Actually they did. By 1944 Nazi-Germany did use Commissars or Leadership Officers (Führungs Offizieren) to stop the disintegration of their armed forces. These individuals where instructed to ensure that the soldiers fought to the bitter end and they could use whatever means neccesary including summary executions.
I study the ww2 history,but i have never heard anything about commissars inside in any part of the Wehrmacht .I know about Military Police soldiers and some parts of the Gestapo and the SS used to execute cowards
Please send me a message with the url of a site that says about commissars in the german army,so i can read the story
The IG Commissars are actually modelled after the Nazi-German polical officers called Kommissars. Their task where to spread 'motivation' amongst the faltering German Armies during the later parts of the 2nd WW. If threats where not enough the where given the right to summarily execute soldiers who faltered in the line of duty or showed signs of cowardice.
The Imperium is a model of human history and is loosly based on the midieval Holy Roman Empire who where ruled by a Emperor.
yeah its nazilike but if you read the fluff its the right thing to do, so the lesson to be learned is that in the future its ok to be totalitarian. like in judge dredd
the guard models are based on US troops to an extent with russian influance, plus some WW2 german influance (a leman russ looks a hell of alot like a Panzer Mk4 imo )
The Imperium is Communist. It's also fascist, racist, quasi-Nazi, and basically every "bad" political philosophy in the world. And it's kinda oligarchic, but then again, the Emperor is the nominal ruler, so it's more of an oligarchical dictatorial monarchy. If that makes sense.
Thought for the day: Intolerance is the Emperor's greatest gift to Mankind.
I dont think the Imperium is actually communist, but their methods of staying in power and enforcing discipline are clearly inspired by the soviet union (commissars!).
The system of military governors is sort of roman-like, the inquisition doesnt have to be explained and the extreme racism and obesession with "genetic purity" is very nazilike.
No, they took the most oppressive ideas from every regime in the world: the Spanish Inquisition became our dearly beloved Ordos, the Soviet political Commissars became, surprise surprise, the Commissars. But it kinda is communist, in a way. After all, look at the agri-worlds. How many of the workers, especially twists, get paid for what they make? It's just taken away from them and redistributed to the Imperial Guard! If that's not Communism, then what is?
They did not need to go to every regime in the world. The source of all this style and ideas is solely good old Europe. And both german Nazism and "russian" Communism are European made nightmares. Yes-yes, communism too, from Karl Marx being bona fide European philosopher to communist leaders in Russia being direct agents of France, Britain, Germany and US. So it all fits like parts of puzzle. Also, those agri-worlds are typical for bona fide European serfdom, as was Soviet "kolkhoz".
True, true. But, as the policies of European serfdom were adopted by the 'kolkhoz', then that system became socialist too. Besides, GW themselves have said that the Imperium is meant to be a mish-mash of the world's great dictatorships-non-egalitarian political systems. So I rest my case.
I HATE it when people say that IG is an German army it Russian MASS INF MASS TANKS MASS BOMBS does that's sounds like Russia to me HELL the commissars was a really rank used in there army in second world war IT WAS THE SAME JOB really they could kill people for retreating or for saying bad about the government it Russian NOT FUCKING nazi German
"only in death does duty end" that is for space marines its not like they execute every guardsmen who is to old to fight, lol and on cadia you only have to serve in the imperial army for a minimum of 4 years.
the 121st marine regiment standing guard for the emperor, finest elite beachhead assault force in the imperium and our slogan is"dont stand still, cause we'll make the kill
If you read the books, a genestealer can almost kill a space marine. It was a tactical squad aginst half a dozen genestealers and one of the space marines died, 3 more were badly wounded. Genestealers are taller then humans.
Blessed are they that reap the sinners from the sight of the Emperor.
Damned are those that consort with Chaos!

Don't think so, humankind is destined to rule the galaxy and no alien can match our prowess.
One guardsman can with faith and a fully charged lasgun kill a whole group of genestealers.
The easiest way of killing an ork warboss is shooting him in the head, he will drop dead by the instant.
