    I dont know if this is in any particular order but being Guardsman in 40k is hands down the worst of the 10.
    Because death is not the worst thing that can happen to you.
    Imagine getting captured by Dark Eldar and becoming a torture slave for the rest of your natural (and often times unnatural) lifespan.
    Or getting infected with Nurgle's Rot only to wither in agony until either you somehow manage to die or sell your soul.
    Fun times

    The Imperial Guard are actually a force to be reckoned with.

      And the lasgun is actually equivalent to an E11 blaster, only that the energy of a lasbolt is transfered to the target in the form of heat that explosively vaporize the surface of the impact point, often tearing off limbs or blasting football sized holes in lightly armored targets while the blaster bolt acts more like the molten copper penetrator of a HEAT-round, making a neat cauterized hole with the tissue around the wound canal going from charred out to medium rare the further from the wound you get in a roughly 3" radius and has significantly better penetration.

      @00yiggdrasill00 Před 5 lety +26

      When you look at it, the 40k humans are stupid strong. Lets look at their major enemies in the galaxy that can be considered a real threat.
      Tyranid- a living bioweapon whos only goal is to eat, and may well have already eaten whole galaxies...and still the imperium breaks hive fleets.
      Chaos- literally hell with gods and demons...and most of its troops are human.
      Orks- questionable given their infighting, but they are a bioengineered race of killer fungus...and they get stomped down all the time.
      Necron- the race the bioengineered weapon was created to fight.
      The eldar and the tau cant be considered major threats, their population and industrial output is just too low.
      Meanwhile in the human corner we have the guard...an army so big even its own logistical branch doesn't actually know how many regiments its supplying. An army made up of equipment so easy to produce, supply and care for its got weapons from 10000 years ago still in service and the basic stuff still gets the job done. An army with a low survival rate on recruits...like any industrial army does...but a hard core of veterans that survive dozens, if not hundreds, of battles. An army that mixes combined arms, mobile warfare, massed firepower and sheer dumb attrition warfare as the situation calls for it.
      Every half bit xenos empire and small time cultist has reason to be afraid. Even gods took thousands of years and tearing reality apart to move the guard any great distance.

      @Lord of Warhammer i have indeed and im also aware of the wars for Armageddon...but those are rare instances. Im not saying the orks cant become a major threat, only that they typically arent. I have to disagree that all they have is numbers going for them, but will say it comes down to how you look at it and personal perspective and that yes the leadership varies greatly. If you look at it and compare them to marines its going to look bad. In my view i compare them to real militaries. they actually have very good equipment. Las weapons are so easy to charge they are a logistical wet dream. Sure the average lasgun isnt amazing but thats what multilasers and lascannons are for. A guard infantry regiment can fight anyway any time, and thats before we add ammunition using weapons into the mix. The average russ runs on just about anything that combusts and carries significant firepower that, should you have spare equipment, has enough variants allowed for they can be retailored to fit most needed roles assuming the tank regiment wasnt just issued multiple types of tanks. Casualtiies is a given in large scale industrial warfare, even limited low level conflict in real life will have thousands dead after a few years even in the well trained and equipped western armies. extrapolate into full blown high intensity global warfare and the guards losses dont suprise me at all, add that on one day they are fighting traitor humans, ork the day after and tyranid next week and theres only so much transferable experience. Should they survive that though...well then you have a completely different type of infantryman on your hands.

      Read the book Redshirts, where the lower ranks aboard a ship are TERRIFIED of going on away missions, because they frequently die. And there’s one guy who will be maimed, burned, shot, infected, or otherwise inconvenienced, only to always survive.
      Unfortunately, the higher-ranking ones have taken to throwing newbies under the bus just to stay alive. Whenever the senior officers are on the way, they coincidentally disappear, leaving the lowers of the low to be chosen for the mission.

And the tau? Pah. The LMXI Edition's Damocles Gulf appendix states plainly the myriad weaknesses of the Tau. Their brittle, hollow bones, their poor eyesight, their fear of fire, their fear of water, and their fear of thunder.

However, once you became a proper Sardaukar solider, things get considerably better. Being a Sardaukar was not exactly considered low status in the Dune Universe, though, the life itself was strict and regimented. Being a sardaukar officer, especially high command was a prestigious position and well rewarded.
      Until the freman, few factions in the Dune-verse would challenge the Emperor or his Sardaukar, and if they tried, the Sardaukar would curb-stomp them easily. Nor is there any particular evidence the Corp was especially reckless when it came to its tactics and acceptance of causalities .To be sure, these troops were trained as fanatics and would readily accept death in battle w/o question or hesitation, if that was called for.

    Number +1: The 2nd Massachusetts Militia Regiment, aka the 2nd Mass, from Falling Skies. They started with a couple hundred troops, but over the course of the show, they wound up losing pretty much that entire number a couple times over. They'd get reinforced by other survivors every so often, and a lot of the civilians they were escorting became militia as time went on, but every season they'd lose half or more of their entire force. Unless you were a member of the Mason family, your demise was all but guaranteed. Best-case scenario, you'd get machine-gunned by alien plasma. Less fun are diseases (both natural and alien-caused - xenos scum!), injuries, treachery, angry mobs, and getting torn apart by alien mutants.

By the end of the war, they had lost all of their capital ships and relied on their few frigates

    That's a major benefit of having powered armour, the heavier complete armour.
    And in the real world experiments and concepts in exoskeletons are based around being able to first carry gear without doing your back in … and once they have a working system that can handle a regular loadout, naturally increase the loadout and hopefully carry a lot more protection, such as full armour suits with the exoskeleton to help you move it. Weapons will still be carried, not strapped to the frame, regular soldiers can already carry some powerful guns (.50 cal) if they work together, it's being vulnerable to any fragment of flying metal that's the issue.
    Otherwise a exoskeleton trooper carrying multiple machine guns sitting in an open frame could just get sniped by a hunting rifle from cover it just a lucky shot or bit of flying debris/fragments.

    A correction, most Imperial Guard regiments that aren't eaten or destroyed are often used for Roman-style resettlement, whenever a planet has been liberated and cleaned up enough, Regiments that have earned enough honour or just aren't combat-effective anymore, are often used as initial settlers.
    Sure, the average lifespan is fourteen minutes, but if you live through that, it really does start to ramp up, most high-ranking regimental officers will even have access to Juvenat treatments, still, not the best option really.
    There are exceptions to these rules, the Death Korps of Krieg for instance, will die, willingly and happily. Some Guard regiments traditionally never return, only death or resettlement for them.

    What about the UN forces from Neon Genesis Evagelion? Or even NERV Itself. Conventional weapons never seem to do any good whatsoever against the Angels and anyone firing any kind of standard weaponry at one at seems to get instantly vaporized, crushed, or destroyed. Even being in NERV itself is barely any better where the EVA pilots often die (REI), or are shown to suffer from immense stress if not being killed. Being a NERV red-shirt is just as risky as being in the UN armies and is only slightly better than being a civilian it seems. Maybe.

    Walk into Necro HQ.. Goth and Alternative Death Metal music is playing..
    Mimic resets time again... Chronica, crosses arms and rolls eyes, mumbles unintelligiblly.
    Armed criminals.. though that are also LEGENDARY in their villainy..? Yeah that's probably how most would be. Best scenario you finally get them to join up willingly an have a new life as a secret commando agent.
    In Star Wars.. the WORST army to fight in is probably... the CIS Droid army..

    The inquisitor is confused whether this is heresy or not heresy

    See the Titans from Attack on Titan is only a issue as you bring in the completely wrong Military. Forget the Signal Corps, bring in the Death Korps of Krieg.
    With in 10 years they ether reclaim all of the planet or have everything leveled to Dust. Ether way the Titans are dead.

    when talking about starship troopers please make a distinction between the book and the movie or the animated series they're literally exact opposites on technology reasoning tactics training the whole nine yards

    and the worst thing is that even today I don’t swallow the justification of the Shingeki army who watched and think how I know what I’m talking about.

    In Attack on Titan, if i were to pick a job, the way my life is, i'm choosing Scouting Legion. In Star Wars, i survived order 66. Can you imagine a server on Ark with all the walls from attack on titan, and have players build their homes there, maybe with increased danger outside the walls? I think that would be awesome.

    The Survey Corps should have been higher. They train for years and have a life expectancy of 2 minutes once theyre facing off against even the little bitty Titans. And who could forget the part where if youre not torn to shreds when they eat you you’ll survive long enough to cook in their stomach juices. AWESOME! And seriously like 10 members out of about 10,000 survived, two of which were Ackermans so they don’t count.

    The Imperial Army has the Baneblade Tank. Once delivered on the battlefield it can single-handed destroy an medium enemy force.

    All you have to do is give the resistance from the terminator films equipment from the GAR and then you have a resistance.

    The resistance in the Terminator universe is referred to as TECH COM. Watch the first film, the car chase with Sarah Conner and Kyle Reese, he says the name of the resistance himself.

    Thanks for the video. If I ever feel like joining a sci fi army, I'll know which ones to avoid 😉
