There is a certain quality in qauntity...


Great Emperor, this one's been possessed by Stalin! Call the Inquisition!

In all seriousness, though, that battle would have just been absolutely fun to watch. Lots and lots and lots of dead bugs.


The ultramarines should pick up some thing from these Guardsman, instead of relying on chainswords.

they're too "alpha male" to kill from range

it's manlier to choke the living s**t out of your opponent

You know what? Joseph Stalin couldn't probably be the ******** Lord General Militant. That's how well his philosophies fit the guard.

Yeah, I realize this is three in a row, but it reminded me of a great joke, so bear with me.


So, a Mordian, a Catachan, and a Space Wolf are sitting in a bar. Coincidentally, a fly lands in each of their beers.

The Mordian, already disgruntled by the establishments condition, pushes his beer away in disgust.

The Catachan scowls, but not being one to waste a drink, picks out the fly and takes another swig.

The Space Wolf reaches into his mug, removes the fly, and roars "SPIT IT OUT YOU b*****d!!!"

Each is then summarily executed by the local commissar for failing to recite the litany of chugging and for allowing xenos to taint the Emperor's Brew.

Omg, Imperial guard heavy weapon squads with Assasult cannons....
Or twin linked assasult cannon.
Ownage.
And the thing I said earier, the Nid player was nearly in tears, he went back to playing Dark Angels and promptly kicked the guard players a** with a hell load of Raven wing and Death Wing.

Uhm...Guard can't take Assault Cannons. They can have Autocannons, but not their shootier brothers.

Oh I know, I mean, it'd be good if they could have them.

Fluff says that assault cannons take entirely too much upkeep to be used by anyone without extreme training. I'd say that while the Guard couldn't use them (upkeep? In the guard? HA!) maybe the Skitarii would have access to them.

Still, it'd be a very good weapon, considering Ap4 N rending.

I dunno, they seem to keep their Sentinels and Lascannons in tip-top shape. They get beaten by their drill sergeant or shot in the leg by the Commissar if they don't keep their flashlights in pristine condition, too. Of course, Catachan is always the exception to this rule.

Well, as with about everything with the Guard, it varies from Regiment to Regiment.

Salvar Chem Dogs probably take about as good of care as Orks or Chaos do, whereas the Mordian Iron Guard polish their bayonets so bright they could probably use them as their ranged weapons instead of their lasguns.

According to the codex produced by GW's Tim Huckleberry, the Skitarii DO have access at them and use them on their Sentinels.
