    This video might be exactly why I pity the imperial guard but also why they're my favorite. When your sci-fi world has a faction where they send some random dudes to fight cosmic horror with disposable equipment but somehow actually holding the line, that faction already has my heart.

      _And_ if there’s a third party involved in the fighting, it’s fairly easy to bribe Orks into attacking said party (So long as you’re prepared to fight off the Orks using said bribe against you later on, but sometimes you have to go with the lesser evil).

      ​@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire There's actually a situation where Imperial Guard and Orks worked together to fight off a Tyranid invasion, and genuinely meshed well together as Ork ferocity and Imperial decipline complimented each other really well. It's actually a pretty cool moment where both sides worked together for a common goal and genuinely seemed to kinda respect one another. The book's called Enemy of my Enemy in case you wanted to check it out.

    У орков есть не только крутые нобы, но и обычные бойзы, а ещё ниже их толпы гретчинов, снотлингов и боевых сквигов. Все они более мясные, чем гвардейцы.
    Хаос это не только демоны и хаос-марины, но и орды культистов - вполне посильных врагов для гвардейца.
    Тираниды в принципе более "мясные", чем гвардия со своими ордами гаунтов, которых гвардейцы вполне могут сдержать за счёт хорошей позиции.
    Тау это не только высокотехнологичные бронекостюмы, но и всякие крууты, которые для гвардии серьёзные, но посильные враги.
