Death korps are known for killing comissars for not leting them die meaninglessly in suicidal charges, i dont think that is very disciplined.

[@benlovig5700]

@@PoorManatee6197The Death Korps is well known for their shockingly bizarre usage of sacrifice within their ranks; including Kommissars. When the Death Korps of Krieg was first deployed to active combat they showed fanatical aggressive tactics that often ended the lives of many Krieg soldiers, however many lives were lost in countless battles of attrition the Death Korps always secured it's objectives no matter the cost. Due to their planets betrayal many millenniums prior during a bloody civil war the planet of Krieg was annihilated by constant loyalist nuclear bombardment (for 500 years if I remember correctly), rendering the planet to ashes. The Death Korps now only has its inhabitants to offer the Imperium. All of which go to the one of the many regiments Krieg has to offer as it's penance for its betrayal to the Emperor of Man. This devotion of sacrifice of its soldier's has become one of the many reasons as to why the Death Korps of Krieg is regarded as one of the best armies that the Imperium of Man has to offer in the 41st millennium. May I suggest watching one mind syndicate's channel on the 40 facts of the Death Korps of Krieg and maybe you'll have a different opinion on them.

[@davidhaaijema4521]

There's a nice little banter in one of the DoW games about the Cadians, A Dark Angel Sergeant remarks how the guard units on a planet haven't broken and fled like little girls in-front of Chaos Space Marines. An other Dark Angel remarks "Those are the markings of Cadia, those aren't your average guardsmen".The Guard than contacts the Space Marines to offer them a priority target, the Sergeant makes a quiff if the Guard can hold, the Cadian Sergeant merely answers "Cadians do not break". During the campaign you have the Sergeant going from skeptical to being actually impressed by the Cadians. PS. You forgot to mention 1 thing that really is different with other regiments. Cadian leaders lead from the front and are selected on merit. The very corruption and shocking nepotism you find in most of the Empire is by sheer necessity lacking on Cadia.

Thanks for covering the Imperial Guard. Without them there would be no Empire of Man! Good to hear that the other regiments in the armybook and Death Korps will get their own video. As for regiments for the coverall video, I'd recommend Praetorians (discontinued range) and Elysian Drop Troops (discontinued forgeworld range)

The first heretic novel was my introduction to the 40k universe. Which honestly if you know NOTHING about the 40k series is a crazy place to start cause it's basically the nexus of all that is to come. It kept me reading trying to answer a burning question the story had ignited in me. Were the gods real? As the story starts the imperium and everyone basically beats it into you that NO gods are BS. By the end of it you are left wondering if that's true or if they really do exist and this is a lie. What is a good? What qualifies one to be a God? And just because it is a good does that mean it deserves your worship and obedience?
