  • When a space marine dies, he screams, "For the emperor!". When a guardsmen dies, he screams,"To protect the tanks!"

  • I meant without sorry typo

  • It's funny that the imperial guard, in my opinion , is the weakest army in 40k. All they got is vehicles and weapons that a space marine can hold with a turret stand

  • @conjabo ...because they are the Imperial fething Guard and their lot in life is to be fethed.

  • Guard history in a nutshell: They die.

  • @conjabo But win.

  • 2:40 isn't that a Space Marine Predator?

  • @abc114able no that is a baneblade.

  • @sklortchity Oh, the color threw me off.

  • @abc114able oh no that my friend is the Titan hunter-killer Shadowsword. this tank is the size of four Predators in a 2X2 grid.

  • That's kinda sad... i bet the guy that made that shit up was russian... sending a shitload of people in the fire with little care knowing that the next train will bring more is their style of play...

  • Comment removed

  • We shall either cover the ground with the bodies or our enemies or our very own!

  • If you will not serve me on the frontline, then you shall serve on the firing line!

  • Haha wtf is with the guardsman wearing a barrel? explains the crappy armour save i guess...

  • IG for the over running of thi enemy's

  • it says something about the setting when a no-recoil solar-rechargable (or PISS OR FIRE rechargable) long range weapon that can blow people apart at long range is considered one of the poorest weapons in the setting

  • What do you call a Lasgun with a laser sight on it

    twin linked

  • The Imperial Guard deserve more honor than the Space Marines. They are the ones that are doing the serious work EVERYWHERE! I love how you narrate the struggle and agony amongst the ranks of the Guard. Reminds me of the Battle in Stalingrad on the movie "Enemy at the Gates". Their deaths were inevitable. They are the TRUE warriors of the Emperor!

  • @TheUnknownSoldier999 Amen to that, my friend. Even though I play Space Wolves, I would tip my hat to any Imperial Guardsman. Despite their physical and technological short-comings, they STILL fight on... They hold true to the tenacity of the human condition.

  • do the tau next !!!!

  • A man can hardly be a feminist. And I am not even agitated. I was sarcastic with my last post. Perhaps it is you who should "calm the fuck down", because I am no more an asshole than you are. I am not the one shouting insults.

  • The Imperial Guard are one of the most powerful army in the universe. What they can't shoot up, their Armor Tanks will run right through them.

  • Guardsmen + banners= cover saves for my tanks :)

  • are there more orks or imperial guard?

  • well some guardsmen actually get their training in the battle

  • And the fricking Space Marines still get all the glory!

    *A thought going through a lot guardsmen*

  • Orks still win e_e

  • yay lets be dicks and spam av12

  • uh adverts

  • when the imperial guard are destroyed the impirium will cease to exist....... with out it we have so little men.....

  • "I have seen war in all its forms. I have seen feral world savages braining each other with stones, and I have monitored the death of a whole planet at the hands of a virus bomb. I have seen Space Marines drop to certain death, and win. I have seen Titans crush whole platoons underfoot. But there is no more stirring sight in war than the charge of massed cavalry."

    -Dravin Gratz

  • Join now they were saying!

  • T'e gard need mor WAAAGH !

  • Overide97 me too lol

  • The IG are the EMPERORS true men and women fighting force..... they dont use OVERRATED SUPERSOLDIER gene crap(srly SMs just are to dam over powered with there Genes and there almost WAR blessed combatness) and are almost always needed to help fight off stuff that SMs and SoB/inquisition cant get done easy.

    To bad they make there Guns less powered for each troop and not mass produced Hotshots like the KASRKIN(shoock troopers)use and armor..... they need new Armor upgrades for them to last more.

  • Do Fantasy histories next

  • What I cannot crush with my own two boots, I will crush with the tanks of the imperial guard.

  • @abc114able i thought it was 'with words' instead of 'with my own two boots'

  • @iNiNjAMaNg0 Meh. I said it from my own memory. Couldn't find my codex to find the actual quote, so I paraphrased. 

  • @abc114able i checked, it was words, but you were close enough xD

  • Titans

    When you say the imperial guard sucks.

    or when you do not believe in overkill.

    Either way your fucked.

  • make more of these 40k history shows

  • I love Imperial Guard :D GO FORTH MY MEATSHIELDS!

  • imperial guard has been my favorite race for around 2 years now .. i am thinking of starting to play tabletop as them

  • i decided to start reading the comments cause my video wasnt loading then the intro scared the crap out of me lol

  • @theHADMEISTER same difference...

  • @Dream146 whats your problem?

  • 5 Heretics dissaprove of the Imperial Guard...... SUCK MY CHAINSWORD BIATCH!

  • @CommissarOBTOG2205 well i play fw's renegade's but use them as guard....

  • Were those Squat Gurdsmen i saw at 2:00

  • @lantern256 I thought they were Ratlings...

  • Do a tau one

    

  • YOU HEARDED IT MARINES!! We are many millions guards for an only space marine. try to save "many millions" f3 shots with your as3!!

  • I'm an Imperial Guard fan but I field more armor than I do squads of "disposable" guardsmen. The dollar value of all that armor is pretty high but nothing says fun like an armored spearhead.

  • awesome tactics. 1 enemy heavy machine gun. send waves upon waves of men

  • @DreAm146 if they sent a female regiment to a world in need of saving....than the Emperor obviously knows that world is doomed(kill 2 birds with 1 stone)

  • "Where I fall ten more shall take my place! And one-hundred each of them! So strike me down! I am the harbinger!"

  • @AgeOfReclamation Good to see someone that knows the lore.

  • Funny because they use the same on the Tyranids.

  • @AgeOfReclamation

    His balls of steel were so hard, that a nova Cannon wouldn't land a microscopic scratch on them.

  • @AgeOfReclamation  And whatta' bout the Orks hmm?

  • @AgeOfReclamation Who unfortunately got retconned to Adeptus Custodes.

  • Photoshop posterization spam =D

  • Oh boy... GW's IP police are going to have a field day.

  • I love tank shocking imp gaurd, but when it's a pure tank army they tend to be really gay so I hate them for that reason

  • @Th3Lict0r or you just take a billion lascannons and/or melta spam. Whenever I face mech guard that's what I do. And for a cheaper, nearly as effective option, I replace the billion lascannons with missile launchers!

  • the imperial guards are like tankmeat- bad ass hell but necessary for mankind to survive-althought all are not bad, they have many great things too.

  • have you guys ever thaoght of having subtitles on your vids so not only the english can here but the spanish or the french could watch that and it probly just makes def peoples mad that there is no subtitles lol but seriosly people think about it.

  • so long story short they are nothing compared to the space marines lol

    but still awsum vid

    CHAOS FOR THE WIN!!!

  • Play Requim for a dream while watching this

    Your Welcome

  • just curious, is this a bunch of text read form a codex and or white dwarf articles or something? or mostly bits and pieces of fact pieced togeather with the glue of opinion and speculation.

  • Do space marines

    There cool

  • So basically they're Orks but with purpose. Cool.

  • Guard are win. Nuf' said.

  • i have wanted to make an IG army.. but the task of painting them all feels to hard... i would want to do a mass guardsmen list.

  • Very nice work Dave!

  • Billions of guardsman!?!?

    Khorne demands you kill faster! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL TOILET!

    Err.... Skull Throne......

  • @kouriichi MILK FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES!!!

  • Rarely see any female guardsmen... how do they reproduce? :P

  • @Se7entail didn't you know all guardsmen are Asexual

  • @Se7entail they are ordinary people...so they reproduce like we do. But of course not during a duty :-D they just take male recruits for the army .

  • @makakooos There's many women in the imperial guard, they don't make female models anymore but they do exist. Mainly because despite Games workshop's obvious misogyny they can't really give a good reason why the imperium would ignore 50% of viable recruits purely because they're women. Often do segregate regiments based on gender presumably to lessen the problems of relationships etc within the regiment.

  • @Dream146 GW "obvious" misogyny??????

  • @Atreas40000 I'm not a militant feminist but the fact is that while the literature is awesome and really good for having strong female characters the actual 40K game doesn't. You can point at the sisters of battle but in the actual fluff they're essentially women who wear power armour but can never be as good as space marines because that's a boy only club for no good reason. I can't remember when I last saw a guardswoman model if ever and then there's daemonettes who run around topless.

  • @Dream146 but thats the whole idea of daemonettes- they seduce and enchant their victims to reduce their ability to fight back. and there are LOADS of female eldar / dark eldar models including special characters. Tau have commander shadowsun whos female and im sure theres more examples. its just the imperials which seem to have the andocendric gender bias but thats more down to their divisions than anything

  • @Dream146 there were a few catachan female "special weapons" minis that came out durring 3rd edition, 'nade launcher is the most commonto see floating arround. there is the female comisar, schaffer's last chancers has warrior woman and rocket girl in the unit still in production(under the collectors catagory on the gw site), and I believe that there were originally a female or two done for gaunt's ghosts.

  • @IRONBLOODxMECHANIQUE okay well that was third edition but isn't it about the fifth edition now? anyways the fact that you can count the guardswomen models on one hand is not a glowing review.

  • @Dream146 there is a female inquisitor model for the daemonhunters. The Dark Eldar and the Eldar are filled with female models...female Space Marines??? Are you serious?

  • @Atreas40000 Oh you mean the witches who run around wearing practically nothing? or the guardians for whom the only way you can tell that they're female is that the chestpiece has breasts? Also what's wrong with the idea of female space marines? it's too late now to ret-con it all but frankly when you're using made up bullshit pseudo-scince to explain your super warriors there's absolutly no reason to exclude a gender.

  • @Dream146 you're totally ignoring the context of the entire 40k universe. It's based on pulp science fiction. There in no place there for political corectness there while partial nudity is mandatory. Plus the Space Marines are chosen among the bigger stronger and toughest humans of a population. Women can never compete against a man regarding these attributes.

    you are forgetting the all female warrior caste of the Banshees, some of the most feared melee fighters in the universe.

  • @Atreas40000 Ah so now we've moved on from outright denial to making excuses for the fact, Women actually make very good soldiers we know that now so in the 41st millenium they should still know that. Like I say there's no good reason to not have a role for women in the space marines beyond the fear of immasculating all the rough and ready super human boys with their huge guns and giant armour. Then there's the banshees relegated to the role of all fighting women, lithe agile screaming crazies.

  • @Dream146 I've served in the army, women make TERRIBLE soldiers.

  • @Atreas40000 Though I must say this arguement is getting old you have failed to make a good point and have grasped at thinner and thinner straws as we went on my mind remains thoroughly unchanged on this matter. Don't get me wrong I love the 40K universe and the fluff and it's all good I just have problems with GW and the corporate policies they pursue.

  • @Dream146 This will be a series of responses to comments you have made

    1) As an air force officer have passed through the academy (I specialized in psychology and flight technology) I can assure you that the washout rate divided by gender is skewed strongly in favor of men. The physical demands of flight, combat and the rigors or front line deployment simply surpass what most of our female cadets are able to train for. However, they are routinely better than male counterparts at data -

  • @Ranmafan101

    and logistical analysis and co-ordination.

    2) There are areas in biomedical research that favor man over women and vice versa. Because of the target nature of the audience that GW is marketing towards (15-30 year old men) that in their universe the particular process of creating a space marine REQUIRES a male genotype. After the process they aren't even men. According to original canon they lost not only the desire, but the ability to have normal intercourse. In essence, they

  • @Ranmafan101

    are neuter. So gender doesn't really factor.

    3) It's stated in canon that the Sisters of Battle are so favored over all others in the imperium that THE EMPEROR HIMSELF lends them psychic aide in combat. Space Marines don't get shit. So that's a point in women's favor in GW fluff...

    4) You seem to be reacting purely out of knee jerk feminism. I can only assume that you are just starting college, or decided to rebel against the male oligarchy without properly educating

  • @Ranmafan101

    yourself beforehand. While I agree that the world at large is male oriented, the balance towards equality has seen more progress in the last fifty years than in the entirety of human history. I applaud this. In my relationship I absolutely enjoy the fact that my spouse holds equal, (Probably greater) responsibilities and decision making power within our life. So while I agree with your overall ideology, I'm perplexed by why you decided to tackle a male oriented industry.

  • @Ranmafan101 So...basically you're pussy whiped... 

  • @GovernorDerek If you think that an equal relationship equals to being "pussy-whipped", then the advice I have for you is to grow some brains.

  • @BlackTemplar43 He said that his wife is better than him and makes most of his decisions in the Decision making, if thats not "Pussy-whipped" then I don't know what is.

  • @BlackTemplar43 I don't mind Equal Relationships, but when a Man is subserviant to his Wife or Gilrfriend, that means he is Pussy whipped.

  • @GovernorDerek And I take it that if a man controls his wife however he pleases, it is entirely acceptable.

  • @BlackTemplar43 Dude what the fuck is you're problem? are you some kind of feminist who gets pissed off at every little slight? Calm the fuck down. I said I have no problem with Equal Relationships. Asshole.

  • @GovernorDerek Or is it that his wife is cock-slapped?

  • @Ranmafan101 Space Marines don't need it, they have their pure belief to win a battle and dont forget the Adeptus Custodes ....

  • @Dream146 and if re calling the Banshees "a bunch of screaming crazies" then you obviously dont know much about warhammer 40k...

  • @Atreas40000 you mean the way that they're better sharpshooters? they're better pilots? they're better equipped psychologically speaking for dealing with killing other people? yeah I can see why they're awful soldiers. I know a lot about 40K in fact I used to collect eldar before I grew up and realised space elves are no fun but in fact howling banshees are somewhat fanatical and in fact have the ability the "banshee's scream" or at least they did when I played them.

  • @Dream146 better pilots????? BETTER PILOTS? Vert few even manage to fly a fighter jet and that's an ambitious estimate. I have served in a prominent Air Force Academy and I am speaking out of personal experience here. Most women in the army end up not to be able to handle it psychologiacly, and they are receiving special treatment because of their gender. VERY FEW bright exceptions manage to shine in their respective fields in the military. That's the truth, you can deal with it or not.

  • @Atreas40000 Wow, truely you are a credit to the force and I think we now see your opinion lies and frankly I'm disgusted I even attempted to have a conversation with you on this now. Please don't bother to reply I'm very much done talking to you.

  • @Dream146 I thought it was mentioned somewhere that some part of the geneseeding process just didn't work on women. Besides, aren't sister of battle basically (less common) female space marines?

  • @louie97ation Yes that is their reasoning for it but it comes back to my point that if you're making up your own pseudo science there's no reason you can't have women in your super soldier program except you think it might spoil the manly image of big muscle bound men with huge guns. Sisters of battle do exist but they're basically well trained women in power armour and are the militant arm of the ecclesiarchy and they are held in high regard but don't have the mythic status of space marines.

  • @louie97ation Actually, I'm fairly certain that there are more Sisters than there are Marines. However, they're less mobile on a strategic scale, which means that, proportionately speaking, they see less action than their numbers would imply.

  • @Stheno16 Wait, what was my original comment? I forgot. I sure HOPE there wasn't a point where I thought there were more marines than sisters.

  • @Dream146 i have no idea if women make better soldiers but since men are biologically able to make muscles faster and more efficient plus they have more testosterone, it makes sense to use men for space marines ya know? for a women u would need more injections, surgeries and implants compared to making a man into a space marine

  • @Lesnar37 Women don't make better soliders but there are roles were they are just as if not better suited than men and vice versa basically it's more the fact that men get the greatest warriors in the galaxy and women get a grudging second place as the sisters of battle and there's no reason for it at all.

  • @Dream146

    Uhmm, warriors are soldiers. So if you believe women don't make better soldiers, isn't it logical that the most powerful warriors are men? Besides, by your logic, its not fair unless the women come first over men, which is a kind of double-standard argument. In any case, Sisters kick major ass, its not like they are a distant second from SMs.

    Keep in mind the fact that war games don't tend to draw a large female audience. I commend GW for making an all-female fighting force.

  • @Dream146 Besides, the WH40k universe isn't meant to be a nicey politically correct universe or even closely resemble the modern Western world. Its a kind of a medieval gothic sci-fi setting. The lore about the Space Marine chapters basically make them out to be medieval templaric orders, in other words knights, whom in actual history were usually men; history is cruel.

    Just because the Imperium may be sexist doesn't mean GW is though. They are just going for a certain themed atmosphere.

  • @Se7entail are many females in the guard

  • That was cool, heres hoping for more vids like this

  • Ace video!!!!

  • the guardsmen. suprised their kit doesnt include those MASSIVE balls that they have to go into battle like they do

  • @miniwargaming whats zombie town?

  • wait.... who is that guy with the huge beard at 0:50 on the left?

    and whats that weird stuff sticking on the side of his head?

    lol xD

  • Its been a while since Ive seen any MWG vids. And now they have commericals.

    u_u

  • MORE 40K HISTORY VIDOES 4EXAPLE CHAOS DAEMONS!

  • REAL history of the Imperial Guard: Not good enough to be Space Marines, these bullet magnets rely on heavy armor and cheezy table tactics to eek out last minute objective captures. Many believe the Guard were created by the gods at Games Workshop so that the multitude of models needed by IG players would buy each GW employee an DB7 coupe.

  • @thatguyjaysen Someone's jealous that the Imperial Guard are the real men of the 40k universe.

  • Is this going to be on the test?

    

  • jeah you´re right gravenangel

  • isn't it true that the Imperial Guard originated from Earth (now renamed Holy Terra)?

  • @DRgIgGiGlEs The Imperial Guard were acctually a part of the Imperial Army who were split up to become The Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy, but as the Imperium of man itself started with the Emperor on Holy terra, that is true in a way.

  • @DRgIgGiGlEs yes every human or humanoid thing like a space marine or guardsmen originated on Terra in the 40k universe

  • @NmanXwantedX ... Tau, Eldar and Orks are technically humanoids too...

  • ork own ork own

  • That was depressing

  • @thetomahawkwarrior

    Welcome to Warhammer 40k :D

  • Another cool vid. I really am enjoying this series.

  • Garro founded them

  • Pls do a 40K History of the Grey Knights!!!!!!!!

  • @LoardMerlin I'll second that motion!

  • IG = nid food

  • @huntercd Nids = Guard target practice.

  • @LupineSpacePirate That pretty much sums up today's battle I had. And I was on the delivering side !

  • @kerstmanneke82 Good fun isn't it?

  • Semper Fi! OORAH!

    

  • more terrain builds plz

    sorry for my bad english ... i'm french :)

  • IG FTW!

  • i always love the guard 

  • You call them flashlights?

    I call them 30 armour saves.

  • @Groshonee1 i lolled so hard on this one because it is sooo true!

  • What do you call a lasgun with a flashlight attatched to it?

    -Twin linked

  • @Haggismckilt that joke has been used at every guard game I play ^^

  • In flashlights we trust.

  • thats why i love miniwargaming

  • The Imperial Guard is one of my top two armies in 40k. I hope they do Imperial Navy and the Tau Empire next (They are my other top favorite army).

  • wow. this is horrible.

  • bftbg

  • Looks like you had some good models in this video. Its a real shame that you distorted them so much.

  • THEY HAVE HOWEVER NOT TAKEN ROUBERT GUILLIMAN AS THEIR SPIRITUAL LIEGE AND CAN NEVER BE ULTRAMARINES!
