Just want to know which imperial guard regiment you like the most and give me a reason if you have one

The death korps of krieg. WW1 germans:but in SPESS.

Death korps of krieg as well

Maccabian Janissaries or Scintillan Fusiliers.

They both just look awesome for completely different reasons.

Arkhan Confederates! Confederates in SPEHSSS!

Praetorians are a very close second.

Call me boring, but I just like the Cadians. I loved Steel Legion and Kreig is aesthetically awesome, but there is something neat and clean about the good old Cadians.

Same, I'm afraid I do like the Cadian aesthetic and background!
I also like the Tanith 1st and Elysians, paratroopers in SPESS!

Mordian Iron Guard and the Tallarn Desert Raiders. Especially the Desert Raiders, because they remind me of a mix of the Bedouin mixed with the WW2 7th Armored Division.

Cadian Shock Troops followed closely by the Vostroyan First Born.

Mordian Iron Guard and Praetorian Guard.
Line infantry.. In Speeeesssss

Valhallans. What typifies the Imperium of Man more than "Not one step backwards Comrades!"

Mordian.

That's the only correct answer.

The rest of you have failed and I'll see you all for remedial drill in the morning. I expect all of your boots to shone to a much higher standard than what I'm currently seeing.

If your parade boots aren't shiny enough to blind the enemy then that's 2 hours punishment drill with full kit

Armageddon Steel Legion.... most likely the most iconic mechanized infantry army in the Imperium.

The Nikaren 42nd!

Story wise Chem dogs
aesthetics wise i like trenchs so Valhallans and Krieg

Mordians followed closely by the Tallaran and Vostyran regiments

Definitely not something I said as a sergeant..

Elysian Drop Regiments. Grav chutes ftw

Krieg, Elysians, Scions.

Steel Legion

DKoK

Gudrunite 50th Rifles (see Eisenhorn series)

me too, like the whole WW1 trencher look

If I lost all my guard models, and had to start all over again, and money or modelling or time wasn't an issue.

Yeah, mordians. Apart from blacksails, I don't know what the rest of you are screwing around with.

Every other guard regiment is all like:



Except for mordians, who are more like:



That is all.

My favourites are Votroyans and Mordian. If I had infinite money I'd definitely make an army of each.

I have to go with my first love, that would have to be the Catachan jungle fighters. when I started playing 40k many years ago 99% of the armies I played against were space marines, the look of the Catachan army really called to me. the look of the models really fits the fluff. But even I have to admit the model range needs an upgrade.

Cadians and DKoK probably.

Cadians. They're the stereotypical space soldiers ala 1997 Starship Trooper movie/Aliens movie. I think that's what appeals to me the most.
