Thank you all very much for getting this past 50k views so quickly! Please feel free to share this around as it really helps to fund more of these videos!
First we got the ponty stick Than we got the stone spear Than we got the bronze spear Than we got the iron spear Than we got the halberd Than we got the flintlock spear Than we got the bolt action spear Than the tactical assault spear Than we got the whatever we had in the dark age of technology. And in the end we got the Las spear. Does not matter how much time passes, the undomitable human spirit only needs a ponty stick to fight the horrors of the universe
Lieutenant: "This is often a rank handed to nobles with military lineages that have just started their career" Even after 38,000 years, the Lieutenants are still a joke.
With the casualties rate of combat zones depicted in warhammer 40k, i don't think that most of the lieutenants are of noble lineage. Most are probably NCOs who took the rank of a MIA lieutenant. They're probably nobles when the deployment is recent, and that the operation is still early.
Yk what i noticed only after the video got posted? I started playing space marine 1 and figured i should have Made the Lieutenant image that of Lieutenant Mira from that game lmao.
certainly not against tyranids only human rebels, Orks and chaos incursions fighting traitor space marines are easier than tyranids and they usually win against normal legionaries aspecially during non cqb and against word bearers
Nid? No way in hell. The Nids can chew through Eldar Craftworlds and Space Marine Chapters, depending on plot armor. Throwing Guardsman at the Tyranids is how you get *stronger* Tyranids. Anything but the highest quality Guardsman like the Cadians or Catachan with Leman Russes and artillery firing into the Great Devourer is what the Hivemind calls *”Free Biomass”.* Non-Armageddon Tier WAAAGHS, rebels, and chaos are generally handily dealt with by the guard though. But they could also certainly do with better equipment too in most cases. Contrary to popular belief, a million extra dead guardsmen was a million extra souls that could’ve drove off a Druhkari raid in a severely undermanned Imperium.
@@actuallyreallybored Mind you I knew combined arms warfare was part and parcel of a guard response tp Tyrannids, I am sorry I failed to mention that. On the topic of oppurtunity cost there are only so many space marines and the Tyrannids are a greater threat than the Drukari. The Guard is the perfect Biomass with Teeth for the Tyrannids as the Drukari are mostly the Navy's problem.
@PeterKennedy-b1h That’s kinda what I meant. Send the SPEESH Marines to deal with the Tyranids, for *you cannot outhorde the NIDS,* and let the Guard deal with the Druhkari Raiders who have already frakked the dog by getting into straight warfare ala Tabletop. The Imperium is already severely undermanned for its million fronts to deal with(Not helped because Istvaanian Inquistors and the like are what we in the biz call UTTER MORONS). The Administratum, famed for screwing the pooch in terms of logistics, underequipping the Hammer and Anvil consequently leading to a thousands dead on a thousand battlefronts of a million battles, totalling a million casualties as not even a Guardsman cannot fight after running out of ammo. Not all regiments are underequipped but if Ciaphas Cain’s has double the stuff their are meant to. because Administaratum. You can bet there are plenty of regiments with half the shit they need.
Previous to Guilliman's return it was common for the Monitorum to make all sort of mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes were even useful! Like in the Cain books, his Valhallan regiment is two regiments combined because the Tyranids left each at half strength. But the Monitorum never noticed and keep sending them twice the new recruits which meant the regiment never was low on manpower despite casualties. Of course, this meant that Cain never had an excuse as to why his regiment shouldn't be the one sent to deal with whatever the Galaxy wanted to throw at him.
@@Warrior-Of-Virtue they did get sent to a fair share of ice worlds and that one world that was half ice half desert. though hard to take in the view either way when there's Orks, Nids, and Necrons at every footfall
Common? It was EXPECTED. And even with Gulliman's return it still screws up. It took quite a while for them to understand that a actual living Primarch was back in action then took even longer to understand that Cadia was gone, then longer still that the command structure was being changed. All the while Abaddon is throwing a after party so large that it split the galaxy in half.
The Whiteshields are Cadian specific and known as Gun Babies due to there age and inexperience. Even then Whiteshields are a cut above the standard drafted Conscript as there trained since they could walk but are still below the average Guardsmen on the pecking order. "If they can't field strip a Lasgun by age four they were born on the wrong planet."
Presumably like everything else Cadian, the idea of Whiteshields has proliferated across the galaxy and into other regiments. Hence why you see units not from Cadia deploying in Cadian-pattern flak armor.
I have heard of regiments not originating from Cadia being trained by Cadian Commanders in that standard of warfare, taking those teachings to heart and doing everything the way Cadians do things from organization, to tactics, to having a ton of kids and even using eye contacts that change their eye color to purple to match that mutation exclusive to them, so I wouldn't be surprised at all other "Cadian" regiments have their own white shields.
I like how un-imperial guardy the DKOK are they're slightly genetically modified clones, they use cavalry, they have an extremely powerful regimental culture, and they force the imperium to take their soldiers rather than the imperium forcing them to give soldiers. They're basically their own sub-sub-faction
What do you mean un-imperial guardy? Death Korp of Krieg are the most quintessential Guardsmen regiment other than the Cadians in terms of WW1/interwar aesthetics. Tall trapezoidal tanks with sponsons, horse cavalry, artillery, strong regimental culture, fanaticism to give their lives up, and human wave tactics. They're the most Guardsmen of the Guardsmen.
@cleeiii357 they stand out is what I mean the whole point of the imperial guard is that they are just a number but the DKOK take imperial guard so far that they stand out among imperial guard they are the most imperial guardy of the imperial guard so much so that they feel like their own sub-faction also there is only one other guard regiment that uses horses
They are not clone,if they are clone most of them will suffer from warp side effect like most of the clone in lore already, the Afriel Strains are basically why Imperium don't try cloning anymore. Beside there is no information about Vitae Womb that indicates it as cloning vats.It's only say to help increase population grow rate to keep up with population losses. Also using cavalry is not unique to Krieg or Attilla, there are plenty other regiment that's raised Imperial Guard Cavalry regiment.
One thing that i always thought funny about the whole memes of IG is that there are simply so many of them up and about. Meaning that while a good chunk of them will be engaged in some kind of campaign, of which some will face genuinely terrifying or overwhelming odds and enemies, there are still many more regiments that are simply ... well, doing the boring stuff of military duty. have a few of em sent off to "reinforce" a commanders demand of a squabbling world, let alone a rebellious governor, but have so many of those cases that theyre simply unnoticed. even if there are fights breaking out and whatnot, they rarely compare in sheer size and scale compared to whats turned into books or the like
Well, if you compile all the important battles from all wars, you won't get anywhere close to a fraction of the time armies have existed. The vast majority of Guard regiments are either in transit to a conflict zone, or serving as upgunned PDF after a planet has been conquered.
I really love these! Your voice is so nice to listen to and it really submerges you in the Warhammer lore!! Please keep making these at your own pace but a Ranks of the Adeptus Mechanicus would be awesome!
I read that if wounded and survived. Typically guardsman would be left in the planet they survived in. Here i thought they would be sent back to their homeworld.
that's his gimmick though. he's the "statesman" while the rest of the primarchs were warriors with a lot of vague crossover that hardly made a difference. Like Leman Russ/Angron were basically the same thing. Also Corax and Curze.
The Conscripts during The Siege of Terra had it really bad. Fought Emperor's Children, Death Guard, World Eaters chaos space marines, chaos cultists, chaos daemons.
My warhammer group like to play Roleplay with our warhammer characters alongside the actual warhammer battles. After being sent to help a regiment fight some cultists, Our Purple Striped cadian regiment found out our supposed "allies" were actually the enemy because they said "Lieutenant" like a yank and not a brit. People often forget warhammer is english, american pronunciations are always a good sneaky way for anyone crafting a story to leave behind hints that some people aren't who you think they are!
I thought white shields was a Cadian tradition? Also I have never heard of a Penial Legionary being given the right to join the guard, especially since they are normally kicked out of the guard for being boarderline Heritics or cowards to become a legionary in the first place.
There are penal guard regiments that are usually from similar backgrounds. They form their own guard culture. They're treated with as much respect as you'd imagine.
Those weren't really mentioned in the lore tbh as another guy mentioned here. Plus, even if they were mentioned they would basically have three sentences each that would just have the same caption, just written different.
@@chawk6201 yes they are mentioned in the lore, 2nd lieutenant Mira of the cadian 203rd (known from space marine),in the astra militarum fandom there is a quote from a ‘Staff Sergeant Vermak, 12th Cadian Shock Regiment’ and then ‘sargeant major morrow’ from warhammer darkide.
Well, they are de facto commanded by a Commissar (which is rare) and their officer staff was wiped out. Only the rank & file guardsmen and NCOs survived the fall of their planet (which is why the highest ranking commander they had at hand was Gaunt himself). They probably didn't bother to restablish a proper chain of command.
@ this will have spoilers for later Gaunt’s Ghosts books. over the course of about 13 books they never use LT or Gen. We see Domo and Criid get promoted and go from Sargent to Captain. Never meet a Tanith LT, and Gaunt himself makes the rank Lord general from colonel commissar, skipping general
The ranks are, from top to bottom, as far as I remember: Fabricator General Fabricator Locum -these two are the rulers of a forgeworld or AdMech-controlled sector/subsector, with the Fabricator General as the overall commander, and the Locum as his second in command. -the FG and FL of Mars are above all other FGs and serve as the representatives of the AdMech among the High Lords, with the FG staying mostly on Terra while the day to day running of Mars is handled by the Locum. Below them there are 4 more or less equivalent ranks: Magos, Logis, Genetor (also known as Magos Biologis) and Artisans. They have their own internal hierarchies and often overlap. These are the High Priests so to say. And then you have the lower priests: Electro-Priests, Lexmechanics and Enginseers -It is to be noted that Enginseers purpose is to maintain machines operational, which means that while they are highly apreciated by non mechanicus Imperial factions, the AdMech themselves see them with a bit of disdain as they do not take part in the Quest for Knowledge. And finally you get the Servitors. It is noteworthy that while servitors in service of other imperial factions are pretty much stuck forever where they are, Servitors in the Ad Mech may, on rare ocassions, be returned their sentience and elevated to proper AdMech, often Enginseer or Skiitari.
The Guardsman might be poorly equipped compared to Astartes, Orkz or the Tau, but he would be hilariously and unfairly over-equipped for fighting anything we could currently muster up today
The standard lascarbine would be the holy grail of a 21st century battlefield. Easy for mass-production, (relatively) simple to aim and reload, near-impossible to run out of ammo, and enough power to kill or cripple anyone with single hit. It could probably even qualify as a light anti-vehicle weapon.
@@BaronVonMott It also has next to none moving parts, very simple to maintain, and sturdy enough to serve as a club. It also comes with a knife/bayonet made from plasteel (hard as steel, light as plastic) and the power pack can be overloaded to serve as an improvised grenade. Hell, the Flak armor worn by guardsment would also count as a holy grail for 21st century, as it is capable of fully stopping one or two direct lasgun hits, which means any 21st century gun is gonna do very little damage, much less penetrate it, without sustained fire or AP rounds.
Those lads are kind of their own separate thing. Considered to be special forces. This video right here was made about the regular, common of the common ranks.
The Astra Militarum is one institution, the ordo tempestus is other completly aside from the guard, they serve the inquisition and sometimes are deploy alongside the Militarum.
Lmao who would've thought the empire is just germany with all its glorious bureaucracy 😂 There is always a bigger fish (that will make you file 15 different papers)
Castellan is a rank from cadia, but have the same responsability as a general, Marshall, field Marshall or Great Marshall. The monitorum says that many worlds call their generals in differents ways, but they all have the same rank

I'm fond of the Plasma spear myself. In Darktide, being able to cut a line is nice. And stabbing things via bayonet is nice as a ogryn
I think you missed small spear attached to string stick and smaller but thicker spear attached to wooden cross.
During the dark Age of technology there were the sun snuffer Spears and the mechanivore swarms Spears

Lieutenant: "This is often a rank handed to nobles with military lineages that have just started their career"
Even after 38,000 years, the Lieutenants are still a joke.
Yeah but they serve as excellent comedy relief. And often are escorted from the field when things get too dicey.

Imperial Guardsman survives after 15 hours: Senior Veteran
Imperial Guardsman survives after 15 years: Governor Militant
Completely depends on the front, 15 hours was on one single front, most Guardsmen serve for a couple years, many serve their entire 20 years.

It reminded me of Tanya von Degurechaff

Those weren't really mentioned in the lore tbh as another guy mentioned here. Plus, even if they were mentioned they would basically have three sentences each that would just have the same caption, just written different.
I did mention there are different tiers of Sergeant. But, explaining them all would be too redundant.

Well, they are de facto commanded by a Commissar (which is rare) and their officer staff was wiped out.

FOR ROWBOAT GIRLYMAN!
Curious what ranks Adeptus Mechanicus got. There is clearly ranking system from your common techpriest to someone responsible for entire star systems.
The ranks are, from top to bottom, as far as I remember:
Fabricator General
Fabricator Locum
-these two are the rulers of a forgeworld or AdMech-controlled sector/subsector, with the Fabricator General as the overall commander, and the Locum as his second in command.
-the FG and FL of Mars are above all other FGs and serve as the representatives of the AdMech among the High Lords, with the FG staying mostly on Terra while the day to day running of Mars is handled by the Locum.
Below them there are 4 more or less equivalent ranks:
Magos, Logis, Genetor (also known as Magos Biologis) and Artisans.
They have their own internal hierarchies and often overlap. These are the High Priests so to say.
And then you have the lower priests:
Electro-Priests, Lexmechanics and Enginseers
-It is to be noted that Enginseers purpose is to maintain machines operational, which means that while they are highly apreciated by non mechanicus Imperial factions, the AdMech themselves see them with a bit of disdain as they do not take part in the Quest for Knowledge.
And finally you get the Servitors.
It is noteworthy that while servitors in service of other imperial factions are pretty much stuck forever where they are, Servitors in the Ad Mech may, on rare ocassions, be returned their sentience and elevated to proper AdMech, often Enginseer or Skiitari.

Hell, the Flak armor worn by guardsment would also count as a holy grail for 21st century, as it is capable of fully stopping one or two direct lasgun hits, which means any 21st century gun is gonna do very little damage, much less penetrate it, without sustained fire or AP rounds.

Cadian only.
Castellan is a rank from cadia, but have the same responsability as a general, Marshall, field Marshall or Great Marshall.

why didn't you mention commissar? I know they are outside the command structure, but it should at least be an honorable mention!
