How many bodies and gear could they provide? I don't remember much but it surely couldn't provide like 1% of the tithe Cadia provided each cycle.

@@huntermad5668 Well, the worlds in cadia system was fortressx 3 (Four and five if you count military hive and prison) And of course, Cadia., nuclear arms production, a imperial (Not forge) world that, "source of much war material"...Potentailly a forge-like, potentially raw materials. Plus a hellscape world and navy. And that's it. The actual production I'd argue was done elsewhere (Because the crusade fleets would bulldoze that target as important presumably.) So, cadia as a system is 8 recruiting worlds for cadia or so,guardsmen, potentially rising up more than one cadia force at a time, More so now with the splintering of cadia's population. (all 'new' cadias) I'd argue their equipment is either produced so locally and focusedly that sure, they can outfit everyone...Or they rely on closeby sectors or planets outside of the "Murder zone" to really outfit themselves, depending on how much a fortress world produces rather then plopping out regiment after regiment on a shoestring budget, especially with the AMOUNT of cadians there are. ...And Tanith had a agri-hive world. And that's it. The fact that Tanith produced star soldiers is perhaps the only reason their notable, but their skill and abilities provided a niche that the catachans and cadians didn't fill, so they became prized in their field. But, perhaps given more time. They'd simply be "Catachans equivalent" as in, small in number (Compared to cadia) Proud, skilled, and do things their way for effectiveness sake. But they never had the chance to. And the imperium is less for it.

[@househendoe7549]

@huntermad5668 it's the concept of "Quality > Quantity" the Tanith were able in their First tithe to provide 3 regiments, yes that less than Cadia after millennia of tithes to The Imperium. The Tanith with their, again, first tithe provide Gen 1 guardsmen that determined the outcome of a Crusade. If Tanith had survived there's no doubt in my mind that their Light Infantry regiments would have increased every few years and provide experts in Force Recon and Asymmetrical Warfare. That would result in a platoon of scouts would have the effectiveness of a Cadian Company as far as the tactical side. I'm not saying Cadians should be replaced, just that the Tanith would provide a definitive edge to the Astra Militarum, supplementing regiments like the Cadians, as they did in the novely, that shouldn't be ignored or dismissed due to factors that don't win wars in 40k. The Tanith with their skill set and streamlined gear would out perform the most numerically and logistically privileged regiments, the Bluebloods for example.

@@elysiankentarchy1531 Honestly, Human mutation rates are high, but ogyrns are. Relatively low? Their stabilized genome so their recognized as Abhuman, meanwhile the human genome average is pretty screwed since mass warp exposure over a long period of time, plus dark age of technology gene edits rearing their heads, plus the corruptive influences further. Meanwhile, it's like. Plague ogryns are the only real mutant variation. What I'm saying is Ogyrn space marines should be somehow more stable ironically... Them and ratlings.

@@elysiankentarchy1531 Considering how much Geneseed is and potentially can be lost in Void warfare, using it to make a Chapter of experimental OgrynMarines with a potentially incredible outcome would be worth it. Think about how much Astartes intellectual 'boosts' are wasted when mostly they just do the physical tasks of a typical human spec operative. Give that boost to an Ogryn, and they'd be above average human intelligence and, combined with their already extra ordinary physical qualities with Astartes physiological bumps...it may be better to make more of them, and make Astartes Chapter Masters over them so their brains could be used more effectively in a formation. Just saying...if I was leading a war against Orks and 'Nids...not sure low quality guardsmen in numbers and high quality Astartes is going to get the best results when it's all about attrition and endurance...you need a large number of middle ground that have extreme durability.

Of guard platoons of different factions, I decided to use the empire troops to make a platoon of laslock troops. Smoothed down the tips of their muskets, added stuff to their uniforms, and they have a good number of cannon and mortars.

I actually love the idea of the Planetary Governor having a properly equipped modern military force and perhaps even his capital being on the level of your average Imperial Planet, with proper vehicles and what's not... Because then, who the fuck is going to try and challenge him and rebel for power? Say, you are a local Count or Baron and you've grown tired of the Governor's overtaxing (let's say the local title of the Governor is King or something similar), well... You manage to scrap yourself an army by allying with nobility in your area, a few dozen thousand men, with a few hundred soldiers of the various noble house guards armed with crappy bolt action rifles and the likes (technological marvel in comparison to what the average footman will have) with the rest of the troops armed with medieval or renaissance era weaponry. Alright, well.. Suddenly, while your sit in your keep, discussing war plans with your fellow conspirators, you hear flying vehicles dropping over your walls, and men in green suits and strange armour with advanced rifle straight up massacring your garrison, it's not even a match... Then you realize, you picked the wrong fight. Having the governor essentially ten steps ahead of those he rule technologically ensure extreme stability of the planet.

[@Hellsong89]

21:30 Could also set it up on horse drawn light carriages so it can give constant fire support to mounted infantry and maybe even do drivebys of the enemy. Same applies to lascannons and one could run even light artillery support in form of mortars in same form, while keeping this support relatively mobile and all terrain capable. Just requires more horses and men to run smoothly. Also probably prepared ammo cashes hidden all around to replenish mortar etc ammo.. logistics of that would be interesting topic as well.

[@drivingbritt9617]

An interesting note about cavalry in modern warfare is that in World War II during the joint Soviet-German invasion of Poland, the Poles actually were able to use cavalry to devastating effect against Soviet tanks by equipping their riders with anti-tank weapons. They would ambush isolated tanks, ride close and quickly enough around the tank that the turret couldn't be turned to face them fast enough, and fire an AT rocket into the rear, where the engine compartment tended to be. Alas, the Soviets probably had more tanks than the Poles had AT weaponry, and they soon wised up and started using infantry to screen out possible infantry and cavalry threats to the tanks.

Alright I have a question that I would appreciate as many answers to as possible. If Earth was put into the 40K universe as it is now and is not Tara. It is its own planet then what kind of planet would we be or be turned into would we be turned into a hive world would return to a manufacturing world when we return into a degree world what do you think and I would appreciate as many answers as possible just to get a good idea

[@nonya1366]

Earth is at most a frontier world and at best a civilized world. The imperium would probably show up and depending on who's 'local' to us, handle us in a few ways. The ecclisarchy, the favored answer would show up first and begin indoctrination to the faith of the emperor. If resistance is presented, then the forces supplied would be evaporated by a number of ways. If resistance persists, more generalized cleansing followed by rounding up the survivors and trying indoctrination again. But in 40k, we don't. Have a lot of unique offerings for the imperium. Save perhaps for being relatively untapped world with a relative workforce. Maybe the imperium recognizes that our solar system is very Terra like [same number of planets, same orbits, etc] And that's grounds for making the solar system a shrine world, though politically things get muddled there as Mars looks at Mars 2 and presumably claims it on the spot. The inquisition might get involved because of just how frighteningly close in similarities we are to Terra. Which would make resistance to the emperors faith all the harsher. That and well, we see 40k as a gameline by GW, and they'd probably start executing people for having 'small abaddon' and well...Things get worse from there.
