The literal wall of dead that acted like a barrier and fortification for the guard was the most accurate and most Warhammer thing I have ever seen and I love it

[@thebitch9224]

There’s this short story called: *”duty unto death”* In the short story 6 custodies take on an entire splinter fleet of tyranids while protecting primaris tech. For several days they fight none stop, literally building a fortress made out of corpses of the tyranids. In the end, the custodies defeat the tyranids after their Shield-captain defeats a swarm lord in 1vs1 combat after weeks of none stop fighting. This causes the tyranid fleet to break. Not long after, marines malevolent reach the system answering the heils of the custodies. I found the passage: *Vrul strode down the ramp and onto the ash plains, already buffeted by the pyroclastic winds. He spat, and watched the ashes sizzle, before casting his eyes up.* *He beheld a fortress, wrought of victory.* *The corpses of the tyranids had been utilised, not as grim totems of warning or fear, but as once-living brick and mortar. Spurs of bone and chitin held the walls in place, adding to the solid foundations of hewn basalt which they augmented. The flesh of the beasts was seared, blackened, and had run together in places - further annealing the materi­als together.* *Before it knelt a lone warrior, so still and grey that he seemed another victim of the calamity - an ashen sculpture of ruin. He moved, then, and the Space Marines jerked their weapons up. Vrul did not bother, merely sneering with bemused disdain.* *‘Who goes there?’ he asked. ‘We answered a priority transmission, swathed in clearances fit for a Chapter Master, and all we find is you?’* *‘I am Tamerlain,’ the survivor said. ‘Shield-captain of the Adeptus Custodes.’ He forced himself to his feet, and gestured. Behind him, the techno-arcane mechanism of the sarcophagus hovered like a relic of ancient Gyptus. His brothers and their arms were lain upon the Primaris gene-cache, reverently. Like honoured kings.* *‘I bear word from Terra, and the promise of the future. I bring the means by which brotherhoods such as yours shall weather these nights of fire and blood.’ He touched his fingers to the casket. ‘And you shall help me to bring it where it is needed most. That is my duty, in His name.’*

Ayy, loved seeing the mountains of corpses that are so often described in the lore. Climbing over hills of mangled bodies to reach the combat. Would be quite interesting to see as well how SM heavy weapons teams would swing the tide of this. Imagine a line of marines with heavy lascannons or melta weapons. 1 shot would incinerate thousands of zombos in this kind of press. A single bolter round would easily pass through a dozen rotting fleshbags and the subsequent explosion could probably blow apart quite a handful of them afterwards. So 100 marines holding heavy bolters and just letting loose could have devastating effects. Ahhhhh to nerd over 40k, one of my favourite ever past times.

That's why you keep copies of everything so you can prove the stuff that should have been on file is there despite half the stuff in the field being an informal "get it checked out when we get back" and then "No, you can do that later, we need you for a layout!"

[@xscar10]

Huh, interesting. You can see the lines of marines thicken and thin at points, and it looks like the defining factor of when they were able to dominate or were slowly whittled away, was whether the group of marines could keep their guardsmen alive behind them. Strange.

The Imperial Guard- the Astra Militarum- THE WALL OF GUNS.

[@Battle-Brother-Ixaris]

Well astartes may be the tip of the spear, but it is the guard that form the spine.

[@hallowedbeyourdays]

@@Battle-Brother-Ixaris The tip of the spear is the likes of the Space Marines, the Adepta Sororitas, the Custodes. You could perhaps argue that the rest of the spear is the Mechanicus. But the man holding the spear, his fellows beside him, the entire phalanx of them, and all of their friends, families and people they've ever known is the Astra Militarum. You don't get to be called the Hammer of the Emperor for nothing! They are the mainstay fighting force of the human race, and games focus on what's particularly special.

[@Battle-Brother-Ixaris]

@georgesmaga1520 No, the one holding the spear is the Emperor. The custodes don't do as much, the sororitas don't field as many units, and the mechanicus does its own thing a majority of the time. When we're talking about primary fighting forces, we're talking guardsmen and astartes.

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

The mechanicus is the smith of the spear, and sees that it is well made, honed, and repaired. The Space Marines are the tip, the guard the shaft. The sororitas, inquisition, combat mechanicus, and other irregulars form the reinforcement between the two. Too few to be the shaft, too frail to be the tip, but just strong and numerous enough to hold the two together. The hand is the administratum, the telepathica, the astropaths, and many others. Weapons of war they are not, but without them, the spear would be left on the wall. And the Emperor and his Custodians are the shield. Perhaps unseen and unfelt by the spear at times, yet without it, nothing could survive or continue. And the body, the heart, is Humanity itself.

What would be the setup for this? Alt universe where the Emperor didn't die, somehow separated from custodes and any vehiclular support on this ice world.

And this is why terrain is the most important aspect of any war. It looked like the Space Marines were going to lose a couple of times but once they got the high ground and a number of choke points it was over for the zombies. GREAT VIDEO TY! Btw it's a small thing but is there a way to make the counters permanently with a black background so we can see the numbers clearly all the time? a lot of the time it seemed transparent.

[@whosyourmate8292]

This reminds me of the battle for Yonkers in the World War Z book. The way the bodies just pile up higher and higher.

[@stewartleslie3292]

I don't think that was Yonkers. Yonkers was a total disaster due to use of shock and awe and giving audio and video communication to most of the soldiers. I do remember later in the book they were out testing the new box formation and tactics, but ended up pulling a huge hoard which became their biggest victory.

[@rush21hit]

I hope the devs develops this game further, and/or improve this game for future releases. Here, the units are just trying to swing to each other, neglecting their combat discipline, formation, or basic communication between units. Much less expecting any hint of commands and map awareness. In my observation, seemingly just moving on to each other by the closest possible path. Not sure if such logic script patchable or had to be built from ground up, but it definitely would look more believable and even more awesome than it already is. Also, imagine air superiority, while we're at it. Having AC130 doing flyby death from above, but limited to several salvoes until it had to refill ammo and fuels, or maybe GoT dragons. Should be doable, but not saying it would be easy. Friendly fire should stay at OFF, tho. The physics codes required to achieve the condition where it can finally be turned ON quite possibly still way too demanding.

[@tonyyul703]

The also need a variety of weapons instead of just normal guns

[@rush21hit]

​@@tonyyul703 I'd prefer adding unit practicality first, based on their training or depiction in media and history. Imagine Spartans automatically form phalanx formation when we group them together, covering each other. Wall of shields the entire horizon, thorned with pikes, pushing forward. Only switch to their sword when shields been breached for CQC melee brawl. And it won't just be one line of them doing it. Or Rohirim cavalry actually smashing through foot soldiers. These guys don't stop their horse and swing their sword to each unit they encounter in their path. They swing it while also charging. Let's reduce their charging speed when it happens to imply collisions to make it believable. Or Roman Elites actually commanding the units they're assigned to, with soldiers following their lead. Looking for the weakest link in the chain, and attack it. While also trying their hardest to maintain their number. Retreat a bit, if they have to. Or the musket soldiers lining up for firing salvoes. Or the special forces actually being special forces. These guys won't just stand there and shoot stuff. Now ,that level of implied order and discipline, would be even more epic for a spectacle. I'd even forgive their infinite ammo or simplified animation assets to cope with hardware if these feats can be displayed lol But yes, when we could establish that aspect, then we finally add weapons variety.

[@horuslupercalaurelian1569]

Since the Emperor is here... you also need his personal bodyguard of the golden Legion, his 10,000 Custodes, their captains like Valdor, their contemptor dreadnoughts and nights, the penitent warmachines and the sisters of battle, the blanks and pariahs, one to amplify the Emperors attacks and the others to nullify or dampen any major psychic attacks. Land Raiders, Chimeras, Storm hawks, Valkyries, Land Speeders and Basilisks along with the battalions that operate them and the auxiliary armies of skittari that protect the Mechanicus' adepts who repair and maintain the war engines. Titans are overkill but are mainly a show of power. All in all 20 mil undead may not be worth deploying such military expenditure for the Astra militarum, but because it's the Emperor, all the highlords of Terra won't complain about a single imperial coin this time. Kinda makes you wonder: What must be on this planet and so important that the Emperor set foot on it and is going to war up close and personal? Nothing a few earth shaker cannons couldn't deal with in mere minutes.
