I would join Cadian 412, there is just not many man like General Sturnn. And he do not send his man into slaughter ( like some other Imperial commanders... )
So what about you guys?

Probably Cliche but I will put my life on the line for Ibram Gaunt.

Elysians are so well-trained that I imagine they don't throw lives away...

Plus, air support is pretty nice.

Either elysians or catachan. They both seem to be regiments that don't throw lives away like cadians, and like above I like the idea of air support, instead of walking everywhere, and having to small arms fire a tank to death. Catachans on the other hand kill 'nids with their bear hands.

Catachans have bears for hands? Is this some sort of bizarre genetic experiment performed by the Adeptus Mechaniucus?

Caused simply by their awesome manliness

I have to say Elysians, just something about the sheer coolness of drab grey drop troops rappelling out of a gunship to cook toast with their guns...just awesome!

Tanith first and only. Just so I could meet Mkoll/MkVenner, and then promptly develop an inferiority complex.

I'd sign up with the elysians. I would try to become a Vulture or Valkyrie pilot. Failing that, piloting an armored sentinel should be fine.

And what about parashuting from high orbit and gun some Orks in freefall using LasFamas?

Surely badass, but too dangerous for me.

I would feel better with 75 mm of adamantium armor plating around me.

Are Elysian pilots in house, or imperial navy? Cos I missed a trick on that one.

Vostroyan Firstborn.

Because you have cool armour,a nice big hat and a nice shiny lasgun.

Plus you start training from day 1.

Tanith Fisrt and only, Vostroyan firstborn, or...hmm...praetorians.

I'd sign up to join any unit with Commissar Holt attached to it.

Dude, he is vallhallan


any ways id go for Tallern, Why? dude im like a ghost in the dessert and i have laurence of arabia as a comander! (or well we all are a bit like him....)

Tanith First and Only.

Vostroyan. They look cool, they sound cool theme and fluff wise, they have cool hand made tech, they drink Rhazvod, they have a name that rolls of the tongue nicely, they have cool nicknames like "The White Boar", they've got better connections to the AdMech, theye're stubborn.

They're me in a nutshell

I like the sound of the Vitrians from the gaunts ghosts book, something about their philosophical way of war.

tanith first and only, I prefer being able to hide and shot the heretic more than the thought of haaving a shiny armor that a las-gun on high power can go trhought anyway.

And I would be able to meet Larkin, MkVenner, Mkoll, Gaunt (), Soric, man I forogt the name of the miner that loses his memory, Varl, Hark, Caffran.

Plus, Gaunt is one of the fairest (and not an *** which is rare for a IG commander), so putting my life on the line for him would not be a problem. I would so shoot Cuu on the first occasion thought.

You realise you can actually use a spoiler tag right?
And OP an Elysian regiment...
Sounds like fun jumping out of a dropship and trusting in unreliable technology to keep me alive.

didnt know thanks

Cadian 412

Reanimator wrote:Are Elysian pilots in house, or imperial navy? Cos I missed a trick on that one.

Not sure either.

Since they are purely drop troops, and always function with valkyries, I guess they have their own pilots. At least for their transport vehicles. Otherwise, it would be too complicated to constantly assign navy aircrafts to each elysian regiment.

So, what army are they representing?
I don't know anyone using paratroops in mass proportion except Alies, Axis and maybe French in Vietnam...
I would say French because of FAMAS, but not entirely sure....

For those of you wanting to jump aboard the Elysian regiments here is a bit of info from all the IA books about them
.

Not saying it be cool to join them but saying they do have there MAJOR draw backs.

Worth it.
I get a space parachute.
And at any rate i can always be part of the new wave of Elysian regiments created to fill the void of other ones...
By the way... i like your pun

Harakoni Warhawks(Basically Elysians) - for many of the same reasons others had said Elysians; but I get Carapace armor, and am likely to have a plasmagun(Yay, suicide) or be part of a HB Crew.

That or a member of the Narmenian Armored; but mostly because I am an old Tread-head.

Take a leaf out of Cain's book..

12th Valhallan Field Artillery

War isn't so bad 12 miles from the front line!

I would join the steel legion, most likely in a Artillery unit.

Savlar Chem Dog.

You get to have your pick of whats left o the battle feild, and from other regiments so long as you dont get cought.

Armageddon Ork Hunters, why? because they are awesome incarnate

Cadian Artillary(manticore) would be my pick

The Rough Riders.

Go to war humming "My Little Pony" when the captain is out of earshot.

You forgot to mention that you are also allowed to smoke hallucinogen stuff during battle.

Well, due to my profession it would be unprofessional to mention that’s part, BUT, park of my Guard Armies is a Chem dog Group, I love there Fluff.

Improvised Power Fists.

I'll leave it up to you to decide whether the bears were still alive when being used in this fashion.

A regiment from Calth or Macragge.

Death Korp......MUAHAHAHAHA!!

There's a commisar Holt?!?! That's my surname, is there a model, where's the fluff on him, this is so awesome, they named a commisar after me!

Valhallan 397th. I'd rather have the Liberator of Perlia as my Commissar than any other.

Failing that; the Harakoni Warhawks.

Yep, I did a bit of research, and the Elysian regiments all have access to their own valkyries and vultures. So I'd definitely join the Elysians and be a valkyrie pilot. I'd be able to do the "Blackhawk Down" scenes against orks! Yay!

There's a commisar Holt?!?! That's my surname, is there a model, where's the fluff on him, this is so awesome, they named a commisar after me!

Commisar Holt was a character in the old Epic 40000 computer game, Final Liberation (Which had awesome live-action cutscenes!)

He was a complete badass and was acted very well by an uncredited actor... shame!

Check out the cutscenes, they're on easy to find on youtube (you got different ones depending on what you won/lost/did in the single player campaign, where you were charged with defending an imperial planet from an ork invasion).

Here's one to get you started:

I would probably be a conscript in some insiginificant regiment surrounded by 49 other conscripts sent to tarpit a squad of something nasty and then later be in a penal legion after I urinate on myself and run away covered in the splattered blood of my unfortunate comrades.

Some reserve regiment on garisson duty at some emperor forsaken agri world. I would leave all the cool heroic stuff ( soiling yourself because you face a Tyranid, soiling yourself because you face a Necron, soiling yourself because you face a Chaos Marine... ) for others to do.

Vostroyan Firstborn, because they have a rather low casualty rate.

Is there an Emprah's Own Teasmaids?
Nice cushy number making tea in the palace?

Am told I make a lovverly cuppa.

Please Mr Custodes, I don't want to go to war!

Ciaphas Cain's regiment. MAybe I could eventually be a named and minor character who survives like that lesbian couple.

I do like the idea of turning a lictor into roadkill.

Valhalan 479th?
At any rate the minor characters in that series have an alarming propensity for living...
Must be somethng they put in the water.

I think if I had to be conscripted into cannon fodder, I would want a drug habit to make it seem okay in the moment. Hand me my chem inhaler. Savlar: Because all IG have a pretty gak lot in life, so may as well be wasted while getting wasted.

I would be a Cadian Kasrkin, those guys make catachans look girly

12th Terran Cowards.

I'd go with Elysians

Praetorians might be nice too

Catachans if I survive the planet as a kid

or an Ultramar IG regiment

Vostroyan Firstborn

Vostroyan First born, simply because all those augments would be awesome. Oh, and the Tech priest love, gotta like that

Death Korps of Krieg because I want to fight with the toughest, most tenacious group of non-supermen in the galaxy. You know the guy sitting next to you isn't gonna cut and run.

If its regular fluff not including Fanfluff then
Ultramar's Planetary defense Force,

If its Fanfic then my Chapters Homeplanet's Regiment
The Drancorian 142nd Guard Regiment.

Well if i could be anything in the Guard, i'd be a Commissar of course.

But as for regiment, either a hardened Cadian serving with the Cadian 77th, or An equally hard Vostroyan.

Mordian Iron Guard

Why?

'Cause they know they're going to die, but dammit, they're gonna look good doing it!!!

my Ork Hunters are taking offense to all the hate they receive

Cadian 88th mechanised infantry coz i ride around in a cozy chimera bale out then shot things that are not me =)

8th Cadian

A skitarii regiment. Better equipment, armour and backup from titans. What more do you need? Plus those emotion removing bionics to stop me from soiling my underwear whenever I see the enemy.\

Failing that, Elysian Drop Troops. At least they have more strategy than stand in a line and shoot.

As much as it is grimdark the Imperial Guard are an army of poffesional soldiers which are pretty well equipped and usually well led.
I doubt they simply stand in a line and shoot and considering what they're usually up against there could be worse tactics.

Have you read Titanicus? Seriously, being turned into a skitarii is horrible. The tech priests remove half of your body and replace it with ugly bionics, your mouth is replaced by a vox caster (thus preventing you from speaking normally with normal humans), one of your arms is replaced by a lasgun, the other one is fused with a close-combat weapon, etc.

And this is only if you're lucky enough to be a proper field trooper, because you can also be turned into a heavy weapons servitor (your limbs are replaced by arachnid-like legs and big guns) or directly hard-wired to a gun turret for the rest of your life.


Trust me son, don't listen do those weird guys in red robes, and join the Glorious Imperial Guard.

"I have an automatic grenade launcher"-Best quote from that entire book.

I thought that was just the praetorians. Besides, if I was in the position to be a skitarii i would want to be augmented like that, as it would be removing the curse of the flesh.

I never thought that Elysians will have so many votes. I fell sorry for Cadians, surviving all that to be second handed by some paratroopers. But I like them to, only the best of the best get to be paratroopers. My friend also like them because they are using LasFAMAS.

which looks remarkably close to the Halo 2 DMR.....

Id want to be a Ghost. Plain and simple.

If not a Steel Legionnaire, mechanized infantry get the big guns to turn the enemy into flying bits and pieces

I guess that's because the cadians are the archetype of the IG regiment. Half of the regiments of the galaxy are inspired of these dudes! Whereas Elysians, they have something unique and special, they're drop-troopers! Between riding a chimera and riding a valkyrie, I choose the flying ride!

In addition, Elysians seem to have the reputation of being more "tactical" than the average guardsman. And, as I said, cadians are a bit too much associated with this "average gardsman" image.

Krieg 1st Heavy Tank Company

Steel legionary in hellhound.

Everyone says Elysians, but they have to survive for a very long time behind enemy lines, scary stuff. I'd have to join the Narmenian Armour I think. So i can sit in the back of a Leman Russ, feel badass, crush public courtyards and think about all the sh*ts i don't give.

The regiment of scribes which have to record this mess.

It's such a shame that the guys at ForgeWorld decide to let every single Elysian regiment that deploys get pretty much utterly destroyed...

Personally, I'd join the PDF of some system in ultramar, nice, cushy and safe, plus when stuff goes down, the plot armoured ultra men come down to help!

not during the battle of macragge, lol, the entire PDF was devastated.
But yes macragge would be the best place to be garrisoned at.

Btw those were some nice boots you had...... "takes off running"

Death Korps of Kreig, WWI visuals are awesome.

Those aren't boots. They're squigs.

Custom Regiment

Failing that, the PDF of a nice, peaceful world where the most exciting thing that ever happened was someone finding some fungus growing on the underside of a fallen tree and calling in air strikes to make sure that no orks survived.

damn combat drugs getting to me agian, Still Someone ome were will by this, I know a guy,

None, a life in the guard as a grunt is a life of sitting in a trench for years on end while super human monstrosities try to kill you.

If I had to, an artillery company, so I would be far away from the aliens/daemons/heretics trying to shoot/stab/eat me.
