Favourite guard regiment and why? Whether it's fluff, models, or whatever why do you like which ones? Sorry I forgot DKoK and Elysians, just put them in other.

Where's the DKoK option?

As Coolyo said. Why aren't Krieg in the poll?

They're my option anyway for both lore & models.

Cadians are my favourite, but yeah, not having DKoK is a li'l weird.

Damn I knew I forgot something. I guess DKoK and Elysiens fall under other.

I like the Teutons (space prussians!) and the people from Remus (space gladiators!)

Yes those are actual regiments, from the 2nd edition book I think

Elysians and Krieg for the win.

Terrax Guard were so amazing. A Commissar in every squad with Regimental Disciplines, Carapace and Grenadiers with Storm Troopers alpha-striking certain objectives. Friggin' amazing. Between them and the Mordian Iron Guard were the most disciplined and badassed Regiments I've ever seens.

And Tallarn! Oh the Guerilla Tactics! Infiltrating my entire army on the board; setting up Missile Teams and Heavy Bolters, creating an ambush like you only see in the movies! So awsome. I wish you could still infiltrate your entire regiment :(. I miss those days.

I think no explanation is needed.

Catachans. I mean, they got friggin' Sly Marbo, Harker, and 'Iron Hand' Straken.

Valhalla, always been a fan of Soviet Military History so they're a natural. Also they emulate the grimdark stereotypic ideal of what the Imperial Guard is like (unforgiving human wave attacks, brutal commissars in the rear gunning down those who retreat, enormous volleys of lasgun fire, etc.).

Steel legion on top, Vostroya 2nd, Vahlalla third.

Steel legion for the models, coats, fluff, and Commissar Yarrick; Hero of Hades hive. Vostroya for the models, cold weather scheme, and fluff, Valhalla because i love Ciaphas cain, love the great coats, and love the cold.

I like the idea of Catachans(rough cut jungle fighters) but execution is off. Kinda with the rambo scheme that feths it up. Cadians look nice but too plain, Krieg is good but i take original recipe(Steel Legion), Mordians are nice but i prefer Praetorians. The Elysians are cool so are Tallarn. But i prefer Steel legion and ice worlders above all.

First and Only. Impossible not to love (in my mind)

Mordian Iron Guard. Hands down.

Krieg! Followed by the Elysians.

Easily the Mordian Iron Guard. If only they were in plastic .

Tanith just because I love the fluff, and Elysians for their theme.

Elysians by a long shot

Tanith 1st and only, great, great fluff from abbnet

Soviets though are Vahallans

Vostroyas are much more in tuned to Cossaks/Tsarist Russia which includes Napopleonics wars (which are quite similar to 40k when you think about it)

I'm one of the few people man enough to vote Catachans. Tougher than boot leather and more manly than a weight lifting contest populated solely by bears.

Elysian and Catachans for their preferred style of warfare.

DKoK for the grimdark look.

Im sorry but when death korps of krieg are on the scene I can't stop campairing them to the zombie natzies of the movie Sucker Punch.

Death Korps. Fluff and models are awesome

Tallarns.
Syrians in speesh!

other: Jordanisian chimera regiments XD i didnt spend 3 months writing fluff for nothing

Personally I like Steel Legion, then Krieg, then Mordians, then Catachans. Steel Legion for models, Krieg for models, Mordians for fluff, Catachans for models and fluff

Krieg all the way! I want an all Krieg army one day. I wouldn't care how much it costed.

Cadians
Why?
Simple, *produces titan from behind pebble* CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

Elysians... Paratroopers ftw
