@@Boostmeister69 The bigger picture is that each battleship, battlecruiser or grand cruiser lost are, as far as I’m aware, irreplaceable. A single battleship takes decades to over a century to build and each large capital ship lost holding a hopeless battle is one less to hold back Chaos elsewhere leading to the loss of other systems or even entire other systems. The Guard can afford to spend hundreds of millions of lives holding a single world but the badly overstretched Imperial Navy cannot afford to spend fleets and task forces so casually, they gave everything they could to hold Cadia but were eventually forced to fall back in order to ensure the survival of the wider Imperium in the war to come.

It was the conversation surrounding "Cadia Stands" and the words "The Planet Broke Before The Guard" that got me into 40k and was the first book I picked up. And now I'm into 40k for the books and lore. The idea a force of humans who stood their ground so hard to defend their home and the rest of humanity they had to be told that the ground could not carry their march, a bulwark that outlast a planet, and regular humans were shoulder to shoulder with a courage so unbridled that horrors from another dimension could not break it was amazing. I'm a snob about writing and found it wasn't the greatest however the content there was excellent. I'm a staunch fan of the Imperial Guard because of the destruction they face in overwhelming odds, yet still the guard rises to meet the enemies of mankind. The Astra Militarum is the bedrock on which humanity requires as, if humanity were to go without, it would find itself breaking like the Planet of Cadia.

I knew the line "Cadia stands" and had a vague idea of what Cadia is, but if you are not emotionaly invested in something yet, its hard to feel something, of course. I think that WH40K got mature just now. In the past it was all about "Mighty spacemarine god kill good, mighty uberhuman will crush who is not good. Praise the guy who dont want be god." to me. But now its starting to get substance. And the fall of Cadia clearly has a part in this.

I have to say that; the evacuation scene of Cadia Stands had to have been the saddest part of the whole book, I nearly started crying just reading through that book. Like that one regiment who made it to their evac zone only to be ambushed and be picked off by the Iron Warriors, or the evac ships who got their cargo but never made it to the transports, or even the ones who attempted to go back and pick up more Guardsmen, only to never return. Or worse still when Minka Lesk and her old unit didn't even realize the evacuation was going on until the building they were in came down on top of them and crawl out to the surface only to find their home becoming a daemon world.

Personally, I'd really like to see the return of the preatorian guard.
