I don;t think you can get any better in the guard

HQ staff

Cold girls, mate. Its Vahalla.

As for me, Id take a Basalisk. Far away from the front lines where I can pound the enemy to paste

Guard regiment? None.

I'd join the Arbites.

Great answers guys keep em coming!

Vindicare Assassin.

Wait, Imperial Guard ?
Okay, some Storm Trooper then. Maybe the 55th Kappic Eagles company. I hope they are able to aim in Warhammer 40k.

Concordian 2nd Independent Heavy Tank Regiment.

1) Baneblade crewman
2) Stormsword crewman
3) Macharius crewman

Until you get brutally murdered during one of the inevitable food riots at least...


I would like to be in a Vostroyan regiment. My fancy uniform and especially my huge fur hat will be the envy of all others. The nicest position is probably as part of the honour guard of some important marshal or general. Relatively safe, you get a whole lot of respect and privileges and unlike the commander himself you won't be held responsible if the campaign fails.

Vostroyans, I get awesome equipment and bionics.

Ideally, I'd be a enginseer attached to a vostroyan regiment.
Or
Some noble born officer with an awesome ancestral power sword

Most of all, I want to be with the mechanicum, whether it be as a member or as just a cog-bro

DKoK, funky greatcoat and mask.

Role.

Baneblade commander;

Baneblade gunner; or

Baneblade driver.

I fancy my chances in a superheavy.

I was a treadhead for most of three decades, so MOS 19k or the Imperial equivalent. Almost any tank, from a straight Leman Russ to a freaking Baneblade. NOT a Basilisk crewman, I'm no redleg (artilleryman). NOT a Hellhound/Devildog/Banewolf crewman either... I respect those maniacs, but I'm a heavy armor kinda guy. Clank clank, I'm a tank.

Maybe a wild-eyed, frothing Imperial preacher/missionary with a honking huge Eviscerator. And/or maybe a flamer... in Necromunda Eviscerators had one-shot flamer auxiliary weapons, after all. Spouting pious rage seems like second nature for any Interweb denizen, including myself, so I say go for it! Besides, in real life I tend to be the devout (but not necessarily good/kind, alas) type. I promise to keep trying though.

I could see being a Commissar as well. Always have the best schooling, the best gear and a metric ton of fear/respect, unless you get assigned to a Catachan regiment or something. The big hat and long greatcoat and loads of gold braid are nice perks.

Don't need to claim 'hero' or anything like that. Real heroes are just guys that do what needs to be done when the chips are down, and who don't poop their britches until afterwards.

Regiment? Don't really care. In the Grimdark there is only war. Even if you're a REMF (Rear Echelon Mother F***er) war is gonna find you sooner or later, and you'd better fething well be ready when it does. Your buddies will be depending on you to hold the line, soldier, and I'll have my eye on you. Take one step back and I'll give you the Emperor's Mercy with ol'Betsy here <slaps the butt of his bolt pistol>...

...or I'll just split you fishwise with my Eviscerator as an object lesson to other would be cowards, and burn your heretical corpse to ash for good measure. Now get in there and fight, damn you!!!

My two cents.

1.
Unit: Regiment stationed on Garden World.
MOS: Senior Warrant Officer.
Reason: Power, less responsibility, more time to enjoy the world I'm stationed on.

2.
Unit: Artillery Regiment
MOS: Battery CO.
Reason: Away from the front-lines, easy organization.

3.
Unit: Logistical Regiment
MOS: Junior NCO.
Reason: My RL MOS.

I can only assume the mighty shamming power of the Chief Warrants would transcend from our universe into the realm of 40K!

But I would prefer to be an officer in a Regiment that values the use of mechanized forces such as the Steel Legion. Why walk when you can drive?

Jobs in order of preference:

1. 19C: Cavalry Officer (leading Salamander Scouts ideally)
2. 19B: Armor Officer (Leman Russ or Baneblade)
3. 27A: JAG attorney (Someone has to process the summary execution paperwork)

Well generally speaking while you have the horrors of the 40k universe, the vast majority of guard generally speaking are fighting other humans who are non chaos. Still why would anyone want to be in the guard is beyond me....

Anyway I would like to be in some PDF on a backwater agri world. In a tank preferably....

Regiment: Landsharks (mechanized and armoured warfare, specialising in cityfights and wide-area patrols)

Roles:

1) General Selym. Commanding from some other planet, behind an enormous fleet, seven void shields, and with a personal regiment as my bodyguard.

2) Commander of the ELEVUHN BARRELS OF HELL!

The Lucky Sevens.

Being the best Guardsman in the galaxy means you still get smoked in the 40k world of Demon Princes & Warlord Titans. But the luckiest?

Definately a tank commander, preferrably done a whole lot of good deeds in past battles so I can relax in an off-world somewhere not likely to be attacked.

But, If you prove yourself to be a worthy tanker in the guard you'll probably would find yourself leading a suicidal attack somewhere I figure, but best chances of survival I still see being in a tank, while you get the chance to actually kill something instead of being a rank and file trooper with a lasgun.

Most likely Tanith First and Only,
1] Sniper/sharpshooter
2] Forward Scout
3] Saboteur

Regiment:
Elysian Drop Trops
Job/MOS:
-Drop Trooper
-Tauros Gunner
-Storm Trooper

Cadian

1. Psyker (Primaris Psyker or Wyrdvane Psyker)
2. Techpriest Enginseer
3. Pilot (example Thunderbolt Fighter pilot)

Regiment: Elysian Drop Troops
Role: Ground Crew or Valkyrie Pilot

You're from a merchant world, so everything's pretty cushy back home. You get to play with aircraft, which is just ace. And you don't end up on the sharp end of the deployment, which is even better.

I'd say Terrax Guard, those lads ALL wear carapace armour.

And no way I'd want to be on the front lines.. maybe as an infantry man assigned to a Platoon who's job is to protect the basilisks that are shelling the enemy from two planets away

Not guard, but a lightning pilot. Preferably PDF so I can be a fighter pilot that sees their family.

In a Punisher tank next to Knight Commander Pask...I love gattling cannons

PDF on a planet so far from enemies it's not even funny. Even then, preferably an artilleryman

I know its not 40k but sol auxila siting in a coner of the vengeful sprit with popcorn watching hours and the emperor fight.

In the Ultramar Auxilia...cause the smurfs pretty much handle everything anyway. lol.

Give me a lascarbine, a grav-chute, load me up into a Valkyrie, and let me jump with the Elysian Drop Troopers. Why? Because....

AIRBORNE!

I would go for Elysian.

Tauros operator or gunner,

Drop sentinel pilot

Yup. Genius. Elysians all the way!
