It has been said that if the Space Marines are the very tip of the Imperium's spear, the Guard are the rest of the spearhead, the shaft and the man holding it...

[@KossolaxtheForesworn]

***** imperial guard is the hammer. space marines are the shield. while the hammer cant strike, the shield will take the impact and push the enemy back so the hammer can strike them down.

[@FieserMoep]

+MrAnimepredator Astartes are far away from being a shield. They may have their glory moments in important battles but it is the Guard that dies in the millions - day by day - just to keep the Imperium in its fragile state of now.

[@SchmittPlaythroughFR]

FieserMoep The Imperium couldn't survive without the Imperial Guard; It could without the Space Marines...

[@KossolaxtheForesworn]

***** hah the Astartes were the ones standing side of the The Emperor him self when they united Terra and the Imperium of Man. without them, Terra and the Imperium it self would be nothing more than punch of techno barbarian tribes cutting each others heads of.

[@SchmittPlaythroughFR]

MrAnimepredator There are simply too many worlds in the Imperium for the Space Marines to even remotely protect; The Imperium is in decline, but while the Space Marines go on their little, petty crusade (In which, because of their vanity, millions of guardsmens usually die), the Imperial Guard holds the line at all cost, by building wall out of bodies of their comrades and through sheer faith in the Emperor...

A large group of Tau soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a small hill: "One Imperial Guardsmen is better than ten Tau!" The Tau commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the hill, where upon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence. The voice once again calls out: "One Guardsmen is better than one hundred Tau." Furious, the Tau commander sends his next best 100 troops over the hill and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again Silence. The calm Guardsman voice calls out again: "One Guarsmen is better than one thousand Tau!" The enraged Tau commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the hill. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is fought! Then silence. . . Eventually one badly wounded Tau fighter crawls back over the hill and with his dying words tells his commander: "Don't send any more men. . .it's a trap! There's two of them! . . .

The first time I hold my blood in my hands, The first time I see a man with nothing. Would be the first time I see my own lands, Covered in heresy, death, and rotting. My son stands over him corrupt and pale, A lone Guardsman stands free. My fallen Horus lifts the deadly flail, In one instant, the strength of man I see. This mere man done what I was unable. A tear flows from my eye and it is clear, The tyrant's cold reign I must disable. Briefly I know what it means to feel fear. I leave the future to the strength of man, For they alone do far more than I can. -The Emperor of Mankind

Honor the Guardsmen, for in their chest beats the heart of a man. He has no special powers, no super strength, no augmentations. His faith lies within the Emperor of Man. He who was born on some forgotten planet in some corner of the galaxy. He is a factory worker, a farmer, a store keeper, a father, a brother, a son. He fights for not just those he loves, but for man kind as well. He has stood the line against those that would destroy the Imperium across the galaxy. He held the line in the imperial palace during the Horus Heresy, he held the line during the black crusade. As Cadia broke, the guardsmen continued to hold the line as the ground under their feet crumbled into space. For ten thousand years the guardsmen has held the line and he will continue to hold it.

This happened during a Only War roleplay session where Black Templars (played by the GM) have given the idea to the officers of the Imperial Guard to abandon the civilians of a hive world because he saw them as "unworthy and a waste of time of their habilities and resources" against Dark Eldar raiders. My character ( a Colonel-Sniper of a regiment created by me, the Gunmetallican Longbolters, a infiltration and sniper regiment) was so pissed with that that he slapped the Black Templar Captain in the face, and the rest happened as follows: BTC:"Do you dare to raise your hands against a Servant of the Emperor?" Me:"No, Space Marine, I dare raise my hands against a sociopath who is so full of arrogance and hubris to the point he had forgotten to what reason he is fighting for!" BTC:"You know nothing of my of Duty, weakling!" Me:"I cannot be a superhuman soldier, Astartes, but I know more of Duty then you could even perceive in your entire existence!" BTC:"They are civilians! If they cannot fight for themselves they are unworthy of our help!" Me:"So, why the Emperor had fought for the Unification of Terra? Why He fought the Great Crusade? Why created the Primarchs and Space Marines? Why He created you? Why, even today, are we fighting for? For Honor? Glory? Medals? Odes for our feats of battle? No, Astartes! We fight to protect Mankind! And when I talk of Mankind, I talk ALL OF IT! It doesn't matter if they are of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Administratum or the Adeptus Ministorum. I dont care if they live in a Feral or Hive world. I don't give a shit if they venerate the Emperor as the Sun or as an Avenging Angel. I care nothing if they are common stock, Ogryn or Ratling. And I don't give a fuck if they are soldiers or civilians. All that I care is that they are HUMANS! And really I don't know about your Duty, but when I joined the Guard, I've made an oath to the Emperor that I would - nay, I MUST! - protect Mankind with all of my strength, and with my blood and life if necessary. If you do not care about the civilians, well, FUCK YOU! My Duty is to protect THEM, because they are the ones who make the food, bulid the weapons, vehicles and ships that the Guard, Navy and YOU use! They are the ones who build monuments, art and the poems making homage to YOU! If you cannot show at least a MINIMUM OF RESPECT FOR THEIR WORK AND DIGNITY, then all what the Emperor have made, all of what He fought, sacrificed and dreamed for ALL MANKIND, would be for nothing! Now, "gentlemen", if you excuse me, I'll be doing my Duty, protecting the "unworthy" civilians, because I cannot even trust a fucking superhuman soldier to do the fucking job!" My character left the room, arranged the regiment to defend the civilians, and after a gruesome battle saved them, but my character died fighting the Dark Eldar leader. All the players have even cried manly tears in the funeral, and my regiment gained the enmity of the Black Templars ever since.

+Leonardo Rocha His deeds will long outlive all those he saved. His spirit burned bright in life and has earned him a place next to the Emperor and his finest.

[@billylukito5522]

+Leonardo Rocha worry not my brother! for his soul and action will be remembered as a tale by the imperium of man to strengthen the morale of another battle brother to fight for another day. his sacrifices wont be in vain.

[@seraphx26]

+Leonardo Rocha Real men go into battle with a flak jacket and a lasgun

[@SPG377]

+Leonardo Rocha Acted like a true fucking hero, if a bit naive. Sorry but to be honest your GM(the marines) are probably right, even if he worded the marine's argument poorly. The population of the Imperium is such that losing the population of an entire hiveworld has little impact overall, that should've been the marine's argument. He could also have argued that it was a huge waste of time and resources, especially if there would be more important engagements elsewhere, but seeing as a freaking IG infiltration regiment(infiltration regiments? is that a thing?)managed to succesfully defend the civilians without being completely annihilated then i'm guessing the captain was a huge arrogant asshole who deemed the battle unworthy of his effort.

+Leonardo Rocha That went reeeeeeally well! Me in Only War: garrison-priest of the by myself created 7th Schanzenheim. The Marine: Sergeant of the Ultramarines (he was an actual character not played by the GM). Marine: "This position is endangering the 2nd wing's assault. Clearing the field with artillery." Me: "That is an cathedral of the Golden Throne that stood there long before even you were born!!! I WONT tolerate this act of desecration!!!!!" Marine: "Then don't tolerate it." Me:"But....." Marine: Slams me in the face. Characters face wasn't pretty after that astartes slam :'(

[@bluedimonddust]

Why is everyone trying to do a Space Marine VS Imperial Guard comparison here? For the emperor's sake, they all serve the Emperor and the Imperium. Why don't we try to compare these mighty forces of the Imperium with the heretics of chaos, or the foul greenskins?

[@Bacxaber]

I'll take chaos over the fucking bigoted Imperium.

Edgy Dad Explain to me how I'm a douchebag. The Imperium is ass-backwards. To paraphrase Bile, "He did not want to become your god-thing. He would be disgusted by what the Imperium has become, if he had eyes to see."

[@bluedimonddust]

***** I agree that the Imperium is shit, but it's better than Chaos. The Chaos Gods live off death. You really want to join such hellspawns?
