What sounds better?
Regular dumb Imperial Guard being retarded and getting killed in waves?
Or
Tacticool Guard actually getting shit done behind the scenes and using actual tactics to kill xenos and heretics?
I ask this since there is a friction of people who want tactical IG and ones who do not and say they should stay the same
Why not both? I mean seriously, the imperium is fucking Huge, and it's not impossible to have a couple of dumbasses get jobs as commanders that they really aren't qualified for, but also have a couple Napoleans and Caesars here and there.
fpbp
about ciaphas cain's regiment? i remember it being tactical
You do realize both of these things do happen right? You have armies of mooks you throw at enemies on one end and then you have operators operating operationally for the emperor on the other end.
Most will just say "Read the Last Chancers or Gaunts Ghosts" and even those don't satisfy me.
I see cop suggestions like a regiments that recruits IG from all over but people say "The imperium doesnt do diversity" and some even support the grimderp shit the Storm training does.
So really I don't know I'd say stick to only war but I feel you the IG shouldn't be incompetent since the fans say so.
I fucking hate The Last Chancers I mean its a good read but its far from "operators".
Gaunts Ghosts are just scouts
Just gp to Infinity 40k isant for you
Just like in real life, there are both human waves and operators. If you want to ask me, where would you put the standard, I would say about WW2 infantry. Non totally retarded but still prone to die by the thousands from time to time.
the imperial guard is compared to the soviet army
