Space Marines tend to be surgical strike forces most of the time anyway. It is _rare_ to see them fielded as mainline troops at the front of a major battle given how difficult it is to replace them (pre-Primaris anyway) and how incredibly destructive those kinds of front-line fights tend to be.

Yeah don’t forget that the guard is the main battle force. Space marines are the special forces, the most elite most invested in soldiers in the imperium save custodes.
@@cccaaawww8685 Space marine glazing under a guardsman video is crazy. If you've read any of the books, you'd know how inconsistently they're written.

Cadia is a fortress world and frontline base of Imperium iirc; like it's just next door to the Eye Of Terror. Doesn't have much resources but if Abby captured it, meaning Chaos has a foothold before the Imperium where they can gather their force en masse
@bloomingblossom5269 well, they didn't capture it... they blew it up. Dropped a Blackstone fortress on it. AFAIK, it's just gone. So, Abbadon doesn't have it, but it's no longer a bulwark against the Eye of Terror. This allowed the 13th Black Crusade to open a massive warp rift that split the Imperium in half, cutting off half the worlds of Mankind from the light of the Astronomican. The Imperium was in a dark and desperate time. But then Gulliman and the Lion woke up, and they got an infusion of new Primaris space marine troops. So hope remains
Congratulations Black Legion! It may have taken you 10.000 years, 12 failed attempts and the assistance of pretty much all traitor Legions BUT you finally managed to break through Imperium’s first line of defense. You should be proud of yourselves!
@@TheeMonkeMan Nah, the Black Fortress was already resisting them, was damaged to a point of being unusable during the conflict, and the Siege of Cadia was on a strict timer because the longer it went on, the more difficult the fight would become as more and more Imperial troops and other Faction's like the Eldar or Necron's who didn't want the Pylons destroyed showed up to fight. Given that the result was effectively a death knell for the Imperium, it was a very fair trade off. An unusable, if incredibly valuable, ship for the destruction of the one world holding back the Warp. The Psychic Awakening made Chaos a massive threat, without the Deus Ex Machina of Roboute Guilliman awakening at that time and launching the Indomitus Crusade the Imperium would have been fucked, and there's no way Abbadon could know that Cawl and Robu's Aeldari GF were going to resurrect him.
Not bad. I wasn't expecting to hear the Astartes having a debate over the life of a mere mortal man. I remember a VA doing this between a Night Lord and a Guardsman, and the fact that the Guardsman had been standing his ground without a vox grill altering his voice somehow made it stand out even better than Burial Goods' example. On That Day, Fear was not merely pushed backwards, but challenged and conquered. Don't get me wrong--it's always good to watch the merciless tide of fear be routed by an equal force. Burial did this *Very* well.
Chaos Space Marine: *(picks up guardsman by the neck and laughs)* "Tell me, guardsman, how does it feel knowing that you died for your planet and for your dead emperor?" Guardsman: *(pulls the pin on his grenade and grips the arm chassis of the space marine)* "... Euphoric..."
Reminder that a Bloodthirster, a greater daemon and a sizeable fragment of Khorne himself, couldn't fully overpower one Commissar plagued with the doubt of imposter syndrome in melee simply because his human resolve & focus won out.
Ciaphas? He has a little more than imposter syndrome, he's like what people with imposter syndrome think they are. He'll see a band of orks and grab the company's only tank to flee, only to run straight into the main ork force that was about to ambush them, routing their attack. And he's hailed as a hero, even though he was entirely acting from cowardice. Man's just blessed by the Big E himself, he's his funniest clown.
Ciaphas? No, that's what we call failing upward on a divine level. You want a Commissar with the brass cajones to do that, Yarrick is your man. Guy was able to tell an Astartes to sit down when grown folks are talking.
Imperial guard - the most pitiful band of average humans, simple soldiers with barely any real potential to do chaos any harm. But they are what keeps traitorous dogs in check, they are what has denied the gods this galaxy for over 10,000 years. They may know fear, but they conquer it and thanks to that, the imperium stands
Tbh considering that the bog standard training regimen for guardsmen is likely far more dangerous than on earth right now, wouldn’t consider even guardsmen as average peoples. Its like… yeah they are relatable but when you watch a ww2 movie you don’t consider these soldier sfighting as average
To know feat and conquer it is more than never knowing and thus never overcomming it. A space marine may be self convinced super soldier, but a guardsmen holds no illusions. He holds the line
The metallic voice makes me think the second one is some sort of Ultramarine or some of the big guys. which is even chadder, conquering the respect of such war machines
Mere? There is nothing mere about being a man, be more proud of yourself and the guard brother. We held the line for 10.000 years and will hold for ten thousand more.
@@Silva-ww9hm There is nothing "mere" about being a man. You forget that the "mere" form of a man is the same as the blessed form of the Emperor of Mankind, beloved by all, who sits upon the Golden Throne, watching over his faithful subjects.

Pity a man who was only born for war. Pity a man who is only valued fighting alongside his comrades. Pity a man who is dropped into the darkest battlefields, the muddy hells, with his superiors expecting him to die. Pity the Guardsmen, the mortal not made for war but born to fight for another man’s ideals.
His uniform indicates that he's from Cadia. Which means that he's one of the baddest mf who had seen hell and unlike the Khornate coward mocking him; he has a pair of Mars-pattern Adamantine Balls.
Maybe, remember that Cadia produces so much war gear that their gear is the standard template most unspecialized regiments are issued. Though I maybe be overlooking some equipment or marking that would indicate that this specific guardsman is Cadian or not.
I like the idea that it's an Loyalist Astartes rebuking the Traitor, standing between him and a guardsman who, to him and to him alone, in that moment between horror and death, sees the confrontation between a devil and an angel, sons of his God Emperor. In that moment, there would be faith redoubled and that guardsman would know what the Astartes are said to know. NO FEAR
This is why I love about 40k, it gives me the strenght to continue fighting. When reading about stories where mere mortals fight against immense darkness, raging at the distant light no matter what, it gives me courage. When I read theses stories, I feel an intense fire burning inside of me, the fire of an undying force. The fire of Hope.

This was amazing I thought it would be another existential dread video but this actually made me feel extremely inspired, the switch from talking about how weak he is to how formidable the guardsmen is really hit me good.
Honestly hearing a Cadian shout, "THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD DID." In Space Marine 2 is one of the rawest lines in fiction and it even isn't from a space marine.
God, I love that rebuttal. It's what made me fall in love with the guardsmen. Holding the line for ten thousand years. That's the indomitable spirit of a trillion souls.
The chaos marine would've taken his helmet off to monologue at him, realized it's a catachan on his smoke break rather than a wounded guardsmen, and said "oh uh, oops didn't mean to bother you ill be on my way"
Honestly its funny and sad seeing how 4chan makes such a bone breaking line by just shere spite to someones opiniom, while all the top payed writers make stuff on par with "i dont like sand"
I imagine right after that the guardsman exclaims- "GET THEM BOYS" as projectors around the room show 5 mounted plasma cannons operated by his friends.
More like. "How does it feel? Terrible. Painful. Lonely and pointless. It feels horrible. I don't want to die. But I'm not dying for pleasure like some of you Masochistic Slaneesh Fucks. I'm fighting for Humanity. And we're gonna win. Alive or dead. Dying is just a small cost."
The guardsman swings his chainsword in desperation. And with shattering planks... falls the arm of the false superhuman. The axe and its hum fall silent the marine doesn't even feel pain. It's shock. A split second of true respect and awe... enough to shatter hundreds of years of power madness and glory chasing... Not a realisation of false beliefs... But a realisation of a life wasted... one meaningless... a spark lost... and a camaraderie spat upon. The chainsword sputters and clicks as it carves through the finest armor, down into the skull of the marine. Cheap equipment does not dissuade the true warrior. The greatest superhuman proven to be the common man.
One of my favorite things about 40K is the guard. Space marines are cool & heroic Custodies are mankind borderline perfected Sororites are badass & keep the faith But the Guard are inspiring & represent the best of humanity (the common man) being thrown into the maw. "Though we may be doomed, we will not go quietly into the night."
This! THIS!! Look, I'm not even a 40k fan, but this line alone makes me wanna change that. I have seen this line being recreated on YT before, but it is always a human that is doing the rebuttal. However, I've always felt that a Loyalist Space Marine would be far more appropriate. Because the way that it is worded always implied that it is, in fact, the one talking. But also, it implies that this marine never lost even a fraction of his humanity, for even he himself would believe that he shed much of it, through surgery, training, battle, or just that ever present persistent foe called time. Despite all this, humanity keeps shining through! Ironically, through his sheer belief in said humanity. And that is where wholesomeness reaches holy levels, which this wretched universe sorely needs.
I’m glad you had the reply in the same video. It’s easy to write for the bad guys, to make their nihilism and pessimism sound like good sense. It’s an entirely different task to write a response that blows away that darkness with the light of hope and courage. Well done.
_"i am but a man, worthless, nobody would care if i died"_ *_"but that is why i laugh, gleeful at the opportunity"_* *"Five fallen angels, for the price of a worthless man, i call that a victory"* *_(Detonator click)_* _"For humanity."_
“To each of us falls a task. And all the Emperor requires of us guardsmen is that we stand the line and die fighting. It is what we do best, we die standing”. General Sturnn, 412th Cadian Regiment.
Never Forget the lore before the retcons, before there was some convuluted scheme grafted onto his actions to make him seem clever. Never Forget that 12 of the 13 Black Crusades were just Abaddon trying and failing to break through the first line of the Imperium's defense. And that on the 13th he had to be whisked away from Cadia like the coward he is. Never Forget that his greatest "triumph," the opening of the Great Rift, has resulted in 2 Primarch's coming back to the battlefield and the "corpse god" punching Nurgle so hard in the face it set his entire realm ablaze. Never Forget.
And THIS is why the Imperial Guard ( I am not calling it the Astra whatever) will always be far more interesting to me than the Spehs Muhrines ever will. Oh, and those big ass tanks and artillery also help in that "holding the line" thing.
Thats it man, thats why we love the guard, they are a number, but theyre part of a force that fights for humanities future, and they do it without all the buffs. They do it through the indomitable human spirit. Against monsters, aliens and daemons. Thats metal a f
Then the space marine would kill the chaos space marine and it’s body would fall and crush the guardsman to death and the space marine wouldn’t even notice
'For ten thousand years, the hearts of men have stood united against a galaxy that despises them for no reason save that they had the audacity not to lay down and die." Not strictly accurate, most of the galaxy does have a lot more reason than that to hate humanity, but in this moment you see something a bit brighter than the usual 40K grimderp. Maybe a little echo of the Golden Age of Humanity, just a touch.
This is why I find the Imperial Guard more interesting than the Space Marines. It is easy to go to battle when you tower over most enemies. It is easy to fight when you are so heavily augmented that you can take blows fatal to normal people, with armor that will protect you better than most, with weapons that would clear out hordes. But for a guardsman? For your regular rank and file? Armed with shit, armored with shit, and is as likely to die to ally fire as enemy? When they stand their ground even when doom is certain for them, it MEANS something. And this is coming from a Chaos fan.

One has no will of it's own, deluded in judgement, thinking that semi sentient warp storms, borned of human emotions are superior to humanity that spawned it.
Another has a will inside to live and prosper by themselves, not under a thrall of a psychotic manifestations that is like a cancer.
"Galaxy that despises them for no reason save that they had not to lay down and die"
Meanwhile Tau:
🧿👄🧿
Don't the Tau sterilize humans?
Actually the Tau are more : 👁️Y👁️
We did nothing wrong. The empire respects all forms of life...
Human life.
@@veisticon91 A percentage of them, yes. Even still, Gue'vasa have it better than most Imperials.
Also...
Aledari: Look, it's not OUR fault you keep stepping on our Soulstones, just get out of the way!
Kroot: Why would we want to kill them? Humans some of our best clients! They also taste good...
Necrons: We wouldn't have problems if you just GIT OFF MAH LAWN!
This was amazing I thought it would be another existential dread video but this actually made me feel extremely inspired, the switch from talking about how weak he is to how formidable the guardsmen is really hit me good.
Honestly hearing a Cadian shout, "THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD DID." In Space Marine 2 is one of the rawest lines in fiction and it even isn't from a space marine.
...wait they actually put that in the game, i might actually pick it up now
God, I love that rebuttal. It's what made me fall in love with the guardsmen. Holding the line for ten thousand years. That's the indomitable spirit of a trillion souls.
This would be a different type of conversation if it's a catachan guardsman
The chaos marine would've taken his helmet off to monologue at him, realized it's a catachan on his smoke break rather than a wounded guardsmen, and said "oh uh, oops didn't mean to bother you ill be on my way"
or a tempestuous
A Kriegman would be even messier, since they wouldn’t miss a good chance at kamikaze maneuver.
Crazy to think this is some fucking post combo from 4chan given form through passion
Honestly its funny and sad seeing how 4chan makes such a bone breaking line by just shere spite to someones opiniom, while all the top payed writers make stuff on par with "i dont like sand"
That is eerily motivational
The planet broke before the Guard!
Astra Militarum! Hammer of the Emperor!
Humanity stands for Terra!
We stand united regardless of race, status or age!
lol
We may die, but we will die standing.
Pretty much sums up exactly why Warhammer speaks to us as humans in a profound way.
This is more inspiring than any US ARMY recruitment pitch I've ever heard.
I imagine right after that the guardsman exclaims- "GET THEM BOYS" as projectors around the room show 5 mounted plasma cannons operated by his friends.
This man needs to be hired for the next US Military recruitment ad
This made me timbers shiver
Plot twist: the guardsman was Jurgen, who had quite a lot of time to aim his melta during all this monologue. "Very good, sir".
HOLD THE LINE, FOR THE EMPERROR!!!
Tyranids: Everybody "holds the line" until the Carnifex comes and starts throwing your tanks like rubber squeaky toys....
"How does it feel to fight for a dying Imperium?"
Me: Euphoric.
More like.
"How does it feel? Terrible. Painful. Lonely and pointless. It feels horrible. I don't want to die.
But I'm not dying for pleasure like some of you Masochistic Slaneesh Fucks. I'm fighting for Humanity. And we're gonna win. Alive or dead. Dying is just a small cost."
i literally rooted for both guys 😢
Guardsmen, holding the Imperium together since the Heresy
Loyalty is it's own reward
Guardsman, saying timidly: "That was invigorating my lord, but if you would please stop calling me a "weak sack of meat" :'( "
Very masterful use of the Gladiator soundtrack.
The guardsman swings his chainsword in desperation. And with shattering planks... falls the arm of the false superhuman. The axe and its hum fall silent the marine doesn't even feel pain. It's shock. A split second of true respect and awe... enough to shatter hundreds of years of power madness and glory chasing... Not a realisation of false beliefs... But a realisation of a life wasted... one meaningless... a spark lost... and a camaraderie spat upon. The chainsword sputters and clicks as it carves through the finest armor, down into the skull of the marine. Cheap equipment does not dissuade the true warrior. The greatest superhuman proven to be the common man.
Right here, right fraggin' now
Only in death does duty end
The Emperor Protects!
There are too many words for Khornite , this is alpharius

One of my favorite things about 40K is the guard.
Space marines are cool & heroic
Custodies are mankind borderline perfected
Sororites are badass & keep the faith
But the Guard are inspiring & represent the best of humanity (the common man) being thrown into the maw.
"Though we may be doomed, we will not go quietly into the night."
This! THIS!!
Look, I'm not even a 40k fan, but this line alone makes me wanna change that.
I have seen this line being recreated on YT before, but it is always a human that is doing the rebuttal.
However, I've always felt that a Loyalist Space Marine would be far more appropriate. Because the way that it is worded always implied that it is, in fact, the one talking. But also, it implies that this marine never lost even a fraction of his humanity, for even he himself would believe that he shed much of it, through surgery, training, battle, or just that ever present persistent foe called time. Despite all this, humanity keeps shining through! Ironically, through his sheer belief in said humanity.
And that is where wholesomeness reaches holy levels, which this wretched universe sorely needs.
fucking hell, please stay away from 40k, we don't need more wholesome chungus redditors
was wondering when you would do this one.
I’m glad you had the reply in the same video. It’s easy to write for the bad guys, to make their nihilism and pessimism sound like good sense. It’s an entirely different task to write a response that blows away that darkness with the light of hope and courage.
Well done.
_"i am but a man, worthless, nobody would care if i died"_
*_"but that is why i laugh, gleeful at the opportunity"_*

“To each of us falls a task. And all the Emperor requires of us guardsmen is that we stand the line and die fighting. It is what we do best, we die standing”.
General Sturnn, 412th Cadian Regiment.
You misspelled.
Its General "Humanity Fuck Yeah" Sturnn
brother you are going to the amazon warhammer series right?
Finally youve done this masterpiece.
Too bad its not from the guardsman pov
"Remarkable 100 men againt a million orks and yet they fight on."
I honestly wasn't expecting this to end with a monologue on the indomitable spirit of mankind but I'm all for it
this almost had me in tears.
almost.
Burial Goods? 40k? Instant watch
I award you with the biggest honor I can bestow.
*Adds to the best of yotube playlist*
Don't pity the traitor, for he has forsaken his humanity, his soul, his comrades, and the Emperor.
This is just like Gorbino's Quest. This is the Gorbino's Quest of Cadia, which broke before the guard did.

Every lunch as a wimp be like:
Happiest day in 40k
GLORY TO MANKIND 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥 THE INDOMITABLE HUMAN SPIRIT IS UNBEATABLE 🗣️🗣️🔥
“He holds the line” any ever let out a Wooohohoo like your pops would’ve? That’s how you know it’s a bar
Imperium propaganda be like:
the Psyop is working
TRIPLE THE DEFENSE BUDGET
Never Forget the lore before the retcons, before there was some convuluted scheme grafted onto his actions to make him seem clever.
Never Forget that 12 of the 13 Black Crusades were just Abaddon trying and failing to break through the first line of the Imperium's defense. And that on the 13th he had to be whisked away from Cadia like the coward he is.
Never Forget that his greatest "triumph," the opening of the Great Rift, has resulted in 2 Primarch's coming back to the battlefield and the "corpse god" punching Nurgle so hard in the face it set his entire realm ablaze.
Never Forget.
And THIS is why the Imperial Guard ( I am not calling it the Astra whatever) will always be far more interesting to me than the Spehs Muhrines ever will.
Oh, and those big ass tanks and artillery also help in that "holding the line" thing.
The guardsman feigning to staunch a sucking chest would while actually pulling the pin on a krak grenade he’s cradling. Ave Imperatu 🦅
Guardsman, priming an antitank grenade: "Sorry, did I fucking ask?"
Thats it man, thats why we love the guard, they are a number, but theyre part of a force that fights for humanities future, and they do it without all the buffs. They do it through the indomitable human spirit. Against monsters, aliens and daemons. Thats metal a f
I like the versions where the response is from a gaurdsman better, but those voices were amazing.
Now we know salamanders can deliver a burn no matter the way of dwlivery. Be it promethium or a word.
Tgis speech was a sick burn.
Then the space marine would kill the chaos space marine and it’s body would fall and crush the guardsman to death and the space marine wouldn’t even notice
This was great
'For ten thousand years, the hearts of men have stood united against a galaxy that despises them for no reason save that they had the audacity not to lay down and die." Not strictly accurate, most of the galaxy does have a lot more reason than that to hate humanity, but in this moment you see something a bit brighter than the usual 40K grimderp. Maybe a little echo of the Golden Age of Humanity, just a touch.
All my homies love Lustmord! His Wayne Barlowe collab was great
This is why I find the Imperial Guard more interesting than the Space Marines. It is easy to go to battle when you tower over most enemies. It is easy to fight when you are so heavily augmented that you can take blows fatal to normal people, with armor that will protect you better than most, with weapons that would clear out hordes.
But for a guardsman? For your regular rank and file? Armed with shit, armored with shit, and is as likely to die to ally fire as enemy? When they stand their ground even when doom is certain for them, it MEANS something. And this is coming from a Chaos fan.
If it weren’t for the Guardsmen, the imperium would fall in a day
