Cadians should be the mainline armor of the Imperial Guard, there should be standardization under Guilliman. Try and prove me wrong. You can't though, Cadians WILL reign supreme.

How are you going to standardize 1 million planets under different conditions with different governments with different technologies when it's difficult to even contact them in the first place and the Imperium is too busy being besieged on all sides?

Guilliman understands that standardization would actually weaken the Guard. As it is now, they have troops specialized for almost any conceivable environment they'd be called upon to fight in. Standardizing the Guard loses that, and thus, makes them weaker and less capable.

But of course you don't care about any of this because this is a bait thread. That is evidenced by the fact that your OP didn't generate the rage posting you were hoping for, so your subsequent posts in this thread have become ever more provocative in a weak attempt to bait people into rage posting. It isn't working and your bait is weak.
>>
>>92723832
Yeah, that's what he said.
>>
>>92719257
Oddly enough, while Cadians are still the default guard models, it seems GW has actually been giving them a little less attention and giving more attention and marketing effort to Kriegers. Now, maybe this is a temporary thing to boost sales of their models, but it could also be an indicator that GW sees Kriegers are more popular and might be moving to make them the new poster boys for the Guard.
>>
Cadians are what the average guardsman aspires to. Not what they are.
>>
The only reason cadians are popular is because they were the only supported choice for over ten years straight, so guardfags gaslit themselves into loving them.
>>
>>92723953
exactly. Baffling GW didn't make a few more famous guard regiment kits.
The kitbashing potential would have been a goldmine
>>
>>92723935
>Cadians are what the average guardsman aspires to.

I've always hated that bit of lore because Cadians are unremarkable. They are jacks of all trades and masters of none. There is nothing they specialize in.

>Most loyal: Kriegers
>Most disciplined: Mordians
>Best ambushers: Tallarn or Catachan
>Best against Chaos: Mordians
>Siege experts: Kriegers
>Best against Orks: Valhallans
>Winter warfare specialists: Valhallans
>Urban warfare specialists: Vostroyans or Athonians
>Desert warfare specialists: Tallarn
>Best against Eldar: Tallarn
>Best against Tyranids: Catachans or Indians
>Jungle warfare specialists: Catachans
Close combat specialists: Catachans

The list goes on and on. Any battlefield roles you can think of there's are guardsmen from another world who can do it better than a Cadians can.
>>
>>92723935
>>92723994

Plus, as another anon already pointed out, they had one job: hold the Cadian Gate at all costs. They failed that job. As such, they should be held up as a cautionary tale of what a guardsman shouldn't be.
>>
>>92724018
>Mordians save Mordia
>Cadians lose Cadia
They lacked discipline, shameful display.
>>
>>92724032
Especially since Mordians saved Mordian (name of the planet, not Mordia) by themselves. Cadians had help from pretty much every imperial military organization and they still couldn't hold.

Truly, as you say, a shameful display.
>>
>>92724018

The obvious answer is you dont standardize the entire imperium just the border planets. And you'd do that by getting the factory worlds to send billions of flak-armor and lasguns to them and then bring over drill sargants to bring them up to par with sole exceptions being planets that are already on-par or superior to cadia IE: Mordian, vostroyans, tallarns, Krieg, Steel legion, Attilan, Elysians.
However having an entire army of cadian is not really fun and its not YOUR GUYS.

You can have that meme for when you run the armies, but its not like you can't modify the Cadians slightly anyway. And there's a whole army that is all about YOUR GUYS - Astartes. THOSE actually make sense to have a bit more diversity. The Guard is the epitome of utilitarianism.

>>92724150
Nope. Saying this shows you don't know how the Imperium fights its wars. The Imperial Guard is not a standing force. Regiments are raised on an as-needed basis. That means the Imperium already knows what kind of environment they are going to be fighting in when they start mobilizing forces. With that in mind, it makes sense to send in specialized troops suited to the specific warzone they are going to be deployed to.

>>92724371
>When you're running a galaxy-spanning military, you actually DO want to ensure standardization

The Imperium specifically is not a standard nation-state though. Its the Holy Roman Empire in space. That's why you have different regiments looking differently. Because they're less a legitimate army with a standard ranking system, and more like, feudal levies. Hell if they just used the term levy instead of regiment, I feel there wouldn't be this problem.

GW will always go for the blandest, safest, most vanilla choice when it comes to mainline 40K, whereas KT, not being their main game, seems to afford being able to release more exotic models from time to time. Let me assure had KT never existed, we would've never gotten plastic Kriegers, Arbites or Navymen.
With that said, it's a goddamn miracle they actually made a whole new Kroot range. That seems to be the only exception in recent years.

even if you were going to standardize guard (which is dumb, as several anons have pointed out), you wouldn't use cadians as the baseline. they're all the way up near the high extreme of regiments in terms of organization and equipment, with an overwhelming focus on elite trained, armored heavy infantry. you'd pick something like valhallans or steel legion that are more representative of the guard average.

>>92729893
GW says otherwise, though. Cadians are the basic.
>>
>>92723994
>Cadians are unremarkable. They are jacks of all trades and masters of none.
nah, their thing was giving everybody carapace armor and having much larger numbers of stormtroopers since they train them in-house.

>>92719102
Half the entire point of the Webway project was to connect the information network across all the Imperium's planets.
After Magnus accidentally squashed it, the ability to practically bridge systems without courier ships is pretty much dead in the water. Maybe you've got a few relay buoys still kicking around from the DAoT that will allow a select few systems to communicate across thousands of light-years within a timely manner, but such setups are probably rarer than a titan legion.

Except, this wouldn't actually improve anything, in fact it would make it worse. Every regiment has specializations and tactics that are uniquely theirs. It's even commented in the Guard Codex that the Ministorum tries to assign regiments to area where their particular skillset will be of particular use and support them with more generalist regiments. Cadians ARE the generalists regiments, as are most of the regiments that mimic them. By forcing standardization, you actually weaken several guard regiments by quite a bit. Their gear even represents that, the gear of Vallhallans and Steel Legion is designed specifically to handle the hostile enviroment of their homeworlds. If you made them wear Cadian gear, they don't even have the ability to fight on their own home world.

Don't spout off on things you know nothing about OP. Also, be a man. Make your own regiment and world.
>>
>>92735513
Nope. That's Valhallans. Back when Commander Chenkov was still a special character for the Guard, he had a unique order he could issue called "Send in the next wave!" that allowed you to remove an infantry or conscript squad that had taken casualties and replace it with a full strength equivalent squad in your deployment zone. Commander Chenkov, while able to be added to any IG army back then, was explicitly stated as being a Valhallan commander in the lore.

Even when Chenkov was no longer a special character, the "Send in the next Wave!" order was converted to a stratagem in 8th edition that was unique to the Valhallan regimental doctrine.
>>
>>92724997
Retard. Guilliman is literally the one who made the Imperial Guard the way it is. He made it that way after the Horus Heresy as a safeguard against another rebellion. The idea being that if another rebellion happens, whoever the rebel commander is will never have the authority over all the necessary forces to spread their rebellion to more than a single world.

They don't ship them back home. Vostroyans are the only Imperial Guard regiments that regularly reinforce currently existing regiments. And family members are sent to the same regiment as their ancestors so the regiment holds on to the weapon (if they are able to recover it) and gives it to you once you arrive.

You know how when you have a girlfriend, women just seem to psychically know, and then suddenly seem interested in you? This is the feminine instinct, they've proven scientifically, with large studies on intuition, that women's' first instincts are actually right more often than men's statistically. They do worse on long-term analyses but the point is that they are just provably better at getting first impressions of people.

The Sisters of Battle just turn all of those subconscious sensory organs to detecting Heresy. The unspeakably cruel and unfeeling calculus of the female sexual selection process applied to religious conviction. If you are not Dogmatic enough of an Imperial, the women of the Imperium will bully and nag you incessantly, and there is an entire organization of women that they can appeal to to come to your house and drag you into the street and burn you alive with a flamethrower because you aren't vocal enough about your unconditional worship of the Emperor of Humanity.

That must be new lore. In which case, I discard it as non canon. Because I still have my 5th Edition Guard codex and it says the Mordians straight up held the planet on their own.
>>
>>92744371
thats what ive read, ive read nothing about Iron hands.
Mordians pulled off a text book defence against a Chaos Daemon invasion, holding out long enough for the warp rift to be closed.
The Imperium should be standardising Mordians if anything

The modern day warhammer player is a fucking retard who plays his models straight out of the box with no alternations and no unique paint job (if they get any paint at all)
They put no heart or effort into their armies, they do not get attached to something that they designed and kitbashed themselves. They do not care, they just want to listen (not read, fucking LISTEN) to shitty BL novels and watch youtubers read them wiki pages.

I fucking despise almost every warhammer player I come across because they seem to have no soul.

The ones who do convert are pretty cool though. I know a Gitz player that runs multiple giants solely so he can use his big mushroom men conversions and have sentient fungus step on people.
>>
>>92744524
So they're players... who actually want to use the setting they're placed in... and not write up some gay ass fanfic? Woah!
>>
>>92744393
Standardization isn't about what worked, but about what's cheap and easy to manufacture, and also useful. Mordian dress uniforms are not. Cadian armor definitely is, both cheap to manufacture, and useful in giving at least minimum protection.

The game is the worst part of the hobby, has been for the entirety of its existence. It was built as an excuse for a bunch of LARPers and history nerds to write up their gay ass fanfics and then provide a framework for others to do the same.
You know why the lost legions were kept lost? So players could make up their own stories for them.
Fuck back in the day they used to write up short stories and character blurbs for every battle report in white dwarf. Shit was kino. The rules were just an excuse to come up with those stories.

The modern 40k player is just smelly MTG faggot and not really a wargamer at all, playing preset [decks/detachments] of preset [minis/cards] in preset units against other "decks" of miniatures.
A box of intercessors are not miniatures you use to create an army in the traditional sense, they are just a booster pack.
>>
>>92744660
Yes, but did those short stories result from using the actual setting? There's fucking nothing I hate more than people who homebrew some dumb regiment that's essentially American, or Russian or British GIs and that's what. Or people who just make Samurai or whatever cancerous shit. Even worse are the ones who straight up throw in shit from other settings, put paint skulls over it.

Those people, I hope you're one of them, do not want to use the setting. They want a fanfic, but are too lazy to come up with their own world so they just use the loose trappings of 40k's.
>>
>>92744686
Considering Ragnar and Ghazghkull from one of those WD stories...yes. Yes they did.
And are you really fucking pissed about people doing 'x but in space?' When 40k is nothing but that?
Oh look, there's the Taliban in space. Oh and the Mongols in space. Oh and my god is that a Vietnam war era US army in space? My word so it is.
>>

>Oh look, there's the Taliban in space. Oh and the Mongols in space. Oh and my god is that a Vietnam war era US army in space? My word so it is.
All of those are shit concepts and have been rightfully sidelined by GW. This is why the Guard needs to be turned into infantry and vehicle support for the Astartes, and they should dress like Cadians.
>>
>>92744686
i hate you anti-40k shitposters you are just trolls
>>
>>92744524
I too used to kitbash models and make gay ass little army men. Then I grew up and accepted that I'm using a universe, with a canon applied to it. Its mostly literal manchildren that do customization.
>>92744736
We're more 40k than you, though, considering we're using the setting that is given, instead of a shitty fanfic. You're more like 40kids.
>>
>>92744745
you are an anti-40k fag
>>
>>92744745
If youre not a wargamer then why do you try to play wargames instead of just playing YuGiOh or MTG?
>>
>>92744775
Wargamers use default models. Not rainbow armor LGBT Marines and GI Joe Guard.
>>
>>92744719
Huh, look at those Ultramarines over there. Fuck those are some cool ass Romans in Space.
Oh wait, gonna tell me the boys in blue got sidelined too?
>and they should dress like Cadians
Oh you mean like World War era US soldiers in space? Man thats unique as fuck bro, you're so giga brained.
>>
>>92744798
Neither of this is true. They might take inspiration, but they're not straight up copies.
>>
>>92744823
My dude, Ultramar is space rome. Everything about them is roman. From their aesthetics to their system of governance.
Fuck they even become space byzantium for a little bit in the horus heresy.
Guilliman is literally Augustus Caesar.
Next you're gonna tell me the space wolves aren't vikings.

>Wargamers dont make up their own stories, conflicts and factions, they consume the constantly changing, default Marvel-slop made up by some underpaid intern in Lenton using OFFICIAL models
>You cant just make up your own ork tribe/chaos cult! GW didnt write a detachment for it yet!!
lol, lmao

Mordians are 1/2 factions that can be described as an army of Commissars.

As long as it’s the *correct* version of Cadian armor.

Absolutely insane that this obvious bait/troll thread has been up this long. Jannies are obviously complicit at this point.

>Steel Legion
Underrated in my opinion, Armageddon is a hell of a world to try and raise a founding and I like that their kit has a very economized, stripped-down look. Overshadowed in aesthetic by Meme Korps.

>The Sisters of Battle just turn all of those subconscious sensory organs to detecting Heresy. The unspeakably cruel and unfeeling calculus of the female sexual selection process applied to religious conviction. If you are not Dogmatic enough of an Imperial, the women of the Imperium will bully and nag you incessantly, and there is an entire organization of women that they can appeal to to come to your house and drag you into the street and burn you alive with a flamethrower because you aren't vocal enough about your unconditional worship of the Emperor of Humanity.

Is that fan-made junk? Looks positively like garbage.
>>
>>92751788
It was your choice of guardsmen if you didn't want 2E era minis or Catachuds. The kit is probably older than you are.

fanon junk is, as expected, total trash

I want to do reptile rough riders but I don't know what'd be a good way to kit bash them
>>
>>92752330
I wish we got rough riders with guns instead of lances.

>>92752352
I wish we got tacticool Cadians.

That too.
