IG relying on chain of command seems quite realistic to me. While Marines are used to act independently since scout times, and other armies rely on hive mind, farseer guidance etc., guardsmen must be led into battle by smart and charismatic commanders.

Guard Ranks are more as such
General Leaps tall buildings with a single bound. Is more powerful than a locomotive. Is faster than a speeding bullet. Walks on water. Gives policy to God.
Colonel Leaps short buildings with a single bound. Is more powerful than a switch engine. Is just as fast as a speeding bullet. Walks on water if sea is calm. Talks with God.
Lieutenant Colonel Leaps short buildings with a running start and favorable winds. Is almost as powerful as a switch engine. Is faster than a speeding B.B. Walks on water in indoor swimming pools. Talks with God if special request chit is approved.
Major Barely clears quonset huts. Loses tug of war with locomotive. Can fire a speeding bullet. Swims well. Is occasionally addressed by God.
Captain Makes high marks when trying to leap building. Is run over by locomotives. Can sometimes handle a gun without inflicting self-injury. Dog paddles. Talks to animals.
First Lieutenant Runs into buildings. Recognizes locomotives two out of three times. Is NOT issued ammunition. Can stay afloat if properly instructed in the use of Mae West. Talks to walls.
Second Lieutenant Falls over doorsteps when trying to enter buildings. Says: "LOOK AT THE CHOO-CHOO." Wets himself with a water pistol. Plays in mud puddles. Mumbles to himself.
Sergeant (any) Lifts buildings and walks under them. Kicks locomotives off the tracks. Catches speeding bullets in his teeth and eats them. Freezes water with a single glance. BECAUSE... HE IS GOD!!!

Mat & Winnie: Good stuff. Seriously, I laughed.
@ Evok: Guard have always relied on chain of command. Vox Casters used to be the only way that they were able to hang onto Ld.

Sweet bleeding lord hanging upon the cross...
Vendetta
Crazy a** skimmer. Now, that's not too bad. The Valkyrie is a crazy a** skimmer in the same way.
The difference?
For the cost of 13 oldschool Plasma Guns, you have a crazy a** skimmer with 3 TL Lascannons.

Nice... *wonders how many people in the thread realize a Sergeant isn't an officer* Non Commissioned Officer but really its right it refers to any rank of sergeant from e5 to e9 or properly fitting imperial guard equivalents Corporals aren't shown because due to their illusive nature they couldnt be found for this survey.... or any other duty for that matter.

Caleidah Van Evok can anyone say A-10 tank killer? ...I'm totally gonna mod mine to look like A-10s. Thanks for the idea. I'd more go with Apache or Hind, definitely Hind, because for that price the Vendetta retains its ability to carry a squad. Plus it can take the usual rocket pods or Hellstrike missiles plus door mounted heavy bolters.
