Subject: Do you think normal Guardsmen would take part in Imperial repression against civilians?
curran12 wrote: While not quite repression in the way you are defining it, I believe there is a little anecdote in the current AM codex that goes along the lines of the Death Korps of Krieg setting up to respond to a rebellion in a hive city.
"Krieg soldiers deployed in the towering mountains that overlook the primary Hive. Several artillery and siege companies begin to bombard the city spires and both rebels and inhabitants were mercilessly gunned down as they tred to break out from the besieged city. After five years of relentless shelling, the rebels offered their unconditional surrender to the Imperium; they were ignored, and the shelling continued for another five years. All signs of life in the hive ceased after just three, but the bombardment still continued for another two years."
An IG regiment after the Marines Malevolent's hearts.
