Crap. Have to do housework. Back later.
И зашто мислиш да је енглески мој први језик? Did you see the flag at all?
And our army was once 4' th in military power in Europe. And like I said, it is just my opinion that IG regiments should have more man, given the.... no matter....
They are numerous. Like we said there are trillions of Guardsmen. We were just pointing out the difference between An Army and A Regiment.
What country are you from by the way?

The Emperor doesn't have a GKs unshakable faith in the Emperor which is....basically himself?

Hahahaha. That's the job of the Administratum and the Departmento Munitorium, both of which have their own legions (of clerks) grimly expanding thousands of boxes (of pencils) a day in the Emperor's name.

"I went into a hobby-shop to play m'self a game,
The 'ouse Guru 'e up an' sez "The Guard is weak and lame!"
The Chaos gits around the shelves they laughed and snickered in my face,
I outs into the street again an' grabbed my figure-case."
Oh it's "Angels this" an' "Space-wolves that", and "Guardsmen, go away!";
But it's "Thank you for the ordnance" when the Guard begins to play,
O it's "LOOK AT ALL THE ORDNANCE!" when the Guard begins to play.."

Seems about right, in the first post 
I'd say there's a few more assassins than listed, but that's about it.
