Actually, it was confirmed that in the main story, Davian Thule and the Blood Ravens won the battle for Kronus, but I heard that it is speculated that the Imperial Guard had won the battle for Kaurava. For the latter you can atleast know for sure that the Blood Ravens had lost that one because Cyrus in DoW2 claimed that "Kaurava was a huge mistake" It was never truly stated who won Kaurava though

Indeed, though having a second Vindicare Assassin honor guard was good too, had a hell of a time using all 3 of them (the two Honor guard and the one you can train) in killing the Greater Knarlocs during the Tau stronghold assault. Still, it was odd that Father Martel wasn't even part of the honor guard unit.

@TheShadowyPahria Space Marines can't draw recruits from the imperial guard, because space marines need to recruit people who are young, namely teenagers, while the Imperial Guard recruits mostly adults, save for a few exceptions like Cadia.

If the Space Marines are the Blade of the Emperor, the Imperial Guard are His Shield. Their role is to hold the line in their vast numbers and always take a step forwards, no matter how terrible the onslaught against them.

@WeirdBoySkuzag - they deviated from the fluff here. Ogryns would never strike a commissar, as they view commissars to be mini-versions of the Emperor who they love with a childlike naivety. They perceive every order they get to have come from the Emperor Himself, passed along like Chinese whispers.

[@Peptuck]

Being an alien isn't heresy. Being an alien is being a foul xenos witch. There's a difference. That being said, the Inquisition will question her, and then either execute her once they finish or "hold on" to her, as a Farseer would be quite useful for their purposes. Collaboration between agents of the Inquisition and Eldar, while not welcomed by the more conservative aspects of the Inquisition, happens often enough. Inquisitors Ravenor and Eisenhorn worked with a Farseer, for example.

Well, the Emporer is not a god and he knows that. The Emporer is good hearted enough not to do that and lead humanity to basic barbarity, simple mindedness and make himself a tyrant with super humans. The most important part is he would make th Chaos Gods so strong he may create a new god from the human race because they have so many flaws. Even worse Chaos will grow so strong even he will fall under its influence. He is still human after all.
