      But only 40K Stormtroopers worship the true Emperor! (Yes, I know this comment is years old now but I only just got into 40K a short while ago and only discovered gdn's channel a few months ago, and I want to be included darn it. LOL)

    Thank you my grimdark narrator. Whenever you have time I love hearing about obscure topics of the imperium like food, non-military technology, language, and various other, less popular sections of the imperium ( I really like your adeptus ministorum videos). And of course I love stuff about the primarchs and such as well. Especially stories of their combat capabilities (like Angron holding up a warhound class Titan, or easily wrappig his hand around a human head and crushing it, or Fulgrim choking an avatar of khaine to death and beating up 10 fully armored astartes in his underwear lol) really puts their size, strength, intelligence, speed, etc into scale. Thank you again, I love your videos!

    Also, know as the Sturmtruppen, Assault Troopers of the 40.000, the new princes of the trenches, the top badasses of the Imperial Guard, Tempestus Scions, but more deadly still there the Catchan Devils, if they see you are dead, that and they have very cool looking gear.
    By the way, For the love of...the Storm Troopers from the first generation following the Rise of the Empire, are CLONES, they never miss their respective target unless something intervenes, clones would continue to serve in the Imperial Army, even after the cloning program was terminated, some serve as active duty officers in the front lines, veteran sergeants, corporals, captains, lieutenants & commanders, those who are not on the front lines are also assigned to the Imperial Military academy, so most non clones recruits get to be trained under the best of the best, Clone drills sergeants, they can also serve as the main crew on several ships, from dreadnoughts to Secutor-class Star Destroyer, Star Destroyers and even an Executor-class Star Dreadnought, colloquially known as the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, Executor-class Star Destroyer or simply Super Star Destroyer, the only times they missed was because of them not receiving any training under clone drill sergeants, but instead as either cadet, 16 or recruits, 18, by Imperial officers, most of which would be morons, who only got there via money, the second reason they missed in episode 4 was because they were told not to hit them in order to find out their bases location, any time the rebels fought clones they would always bee on the losing, the 501st Vader's Fist was all clones, and would only accept none clones if the recruits had endured clone training regime,

  • @SusCalvin
    @SusCalvin Před 2 lety +1

    Stormtroopers packed BS 4, compared to the BS 3 of a standard iggy and the BS 4/WS 4 of a marine. I think veteran iggies had BS 4 as well. Stormtroopers and other elite troops routinely have a bit higher Ld.
    They packed a fancier lasgun and 4+ carapace suits. Their special commando training meant they could pop up in flanking positions or deep strikes.
    A planet could have units trained and equipped to almost stormtrooper standard. Grenadier units are as good shots and wear carapace but lack the commando training. Instead they fight as elite line infantry.

  • @John2r1
    @John2r1 Před 6 lety +5

    The Title isn't accurate. Star Wars Storm Troopers can hit 70 % of their targets in Star wars lore. They just can't hit main characters because well plot armor really.
    But good video itself.

      then explain how did the empire trillion dollar military project super clone soldier managed to be cucked by ewoks? dont get me wrong i hate how they treat the movie star wars lore because the video game, comics and the actual canon is far more gruesome and awesome. it pains me to see stormtroopers in the movie is a bunch of stupid mindless drone clad in plastic. its soo bad that even real world millitary and defence organization use them as an actual term for people who cant shoot. make #starwarsstormtroopergreatagain

      Imperial ships have their own shipboard troops, the armsmen. An armsman is a naval rating trained in security and void combat. They are used to board ships, suppress crew uprisings, perform boarding and counterboarding etc.
      They have little of the heavy equipment even a normal iggy infantry platoon carries. Heavy stubbers, shotguns and navy cutlasses are standard along armoured void suits.

      Stormtroopers can be effective against chaos space marines, especialy if you get to shoot them from maximum range & they are forced to advance towards you. Have the stormtroopers behind cover/obstacle & supported by another standard guard unit thats received a "1st rank fire,2nd rank fire" order. The combo of lasgun fire & the armor piercing fire from the stormtroopers hotshot lasguns will make short work of the traitors or any other unit w/a good armor save just dont try it against terminators or units w/high toughness & multiple wounds, use ordinance on them from a distance. They are very usefull when used propperly & much better than the standard guardsmen

    • @SusCalvin
      @SusCalvin Před 2 lety

      @@rosicroix777 Old rules stormtroopers had a higher-strength weapon that could deal with armour a little easier. Higher strength weapons lowered the armour save, a marine 3+ could become a 4+ or even 6+ if a lascannon shot them. The hellgun is on the lower end. 3rd ed hellguns had armour pen, where a lasgun had none.
      They could deep strike (simulating a combat airdrop) or infiltrate from the flanks, and suddenly you have a bunch of slightly more survivable iggies with slightly beefier guns and BS 4 somewhere unsuspected.

      sorry did not complete it. I was referring to the imperial guard in general. Are you going to make individual videos for the classes? or will there be videos for the Iron Warrriors e.c.t i am asking as i am currently building and imperial guard unit of my own.

    • @tomx6426
      @tomx6426 Před 7 lety

      Im sorry i seem to have forgotten some things i was asking in the greater idea. Will you be making videos like you did for the space marines? For the tanks ie THE MIGHTY BANEBADE. I am asking becasue i love to paint my models to Warhammer lore. Im currenly building a custom Guard unit from fantasy since pretorians are no longer available to buy. Sad thing that. But to get back to the point will we se individual units and or will we see Regiments/planets for example the Vostoyan firstborne.

    ok mannnnn. Storm troopers are just guardsmen who were either trained to be storm troopers in the "how ever you spell it progenium" or spared veteran guardsmen who encountered chaos forces. The only difference between guardsmen and storm troopers, is they give them better shit and throw them and demons instead of tyranids.

      @SusCalvin Před 2 lety

      Nothing stops a planet from having knockoff stormtroopers, and including them in their tithe. A regiment can have ordinary iggies trained to stormtrooper standards, except they don't have the commando training and fight as elite line infantry instead.
      Veteran iggies can show up in their own units. They are just BS 4 guardsmen, I think they could be assigned more special weapons. You could have a gang with higher-than-average amounts of BS 4 meltas pile out of a chimera.
