Cadians - Imperial Guard finest

The Cadian Shock Troopers are Imperial Guard regiments from the fortress world of Cadia. Cadia is located at the edge of the Eye of Terror and so forms the first line of defence against Chaos incursions, such as the Black Crusades. Because of this, Cadia is regarded as one of the most strategically important planets in the Galaxy.
Cadian regiments have been involved in many wars, campaigns and battles off-world. Because of this, the Cadians are widely regarded as the best troops in the Imperium, short of the Space Marines themselves.9,20 With the coming of Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade, they were forced to fight on their own soil. In the early stages of the Black Crusade, they confronted and destroyed the Volscani Cataphracts (a renegade Imperial Guard army) at the Battle of Tyrok Fields on Cadia itself. They were eventually successful at securing the Cadia system, although at a heavy price to human life and resources. Cadians were also among the forces that fought in the Third War for Armageddon.
Due to its location, Cadia and its surrounding neighbours are some of the most militarised and fortified worlds in the Imperium.
On Cadia (during the 13th Black Crusade), they are led by the formidable Lord Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed.

I feel more like an Imperial Guardsmen just by listening to this.

[2SSSR2]

@Song476 They I succeed in getting to you. I am glad that you are enjoying it :)

[PROkiller16]

Cadians, they're like the Ultramsurfs. Completely overused.

[2SSSR2]

@PROkiller16 At least very few people find them boring and even fewer hate them.

[PROkiller16]

@2SSSR2 That's where they differ, but you then realise that there are many more bas-arse and epic regiments than the Cadians.

[2SSSR2]

@PROkiller16 Like Krieg or Elysians?

[Herbymac0811]

Men of Tanith ! Do you want to live forever ?!!!!

[chaos574]

@VictorValgrad273 as i would gladly fight to the death side by side of anyone person who serves the holy god emperor

[eriviscale2]

The Tanith can take the Cadians anyday.

[Wolfstanus]

CAnaDIANS are weird!

[TzeentchChaos]

@Herbymac0811 then join chaos! :)

for the Emperor Better to die for the Emperor than live for yourself

[Gerard37500]

To each one of use falls a task, And all the EMPEROR requires of us Guardsmen is that we stand the line & we die fighting.

It is what we do best.

We die standing.....

@PROkiller16 blame matt ward, he is doing the never codex'es and he has gotten his hands all over all this.

used to be that people liked them, but now they get all kinds of hate.

i still want to see the ultramarines as they were before, good soldiers that mastered all weapons and tactics whilst other chapters exeled in one particular tactic or type of weapon.

and the graham mcneill books seem to be an interesting read, so i would rather go by his fluff.

[PROkiller16]

@hansw15 Who says I don't? I used the Ryza patern Leman Russes which only Forgeworld use and are a lot by the Death Korps.

Their Spirtitual Leige can suck my balls. The guy who is doing the Space Marines as a whole is a fanboy of them and seems to lower all the other Chapters because of it, hence you see them EVERYWHERE.

No doubt due to someone who is an Ultrasmurf fanboy.

For the emperor!!!
