Imagine being a chaos marine, a veteran of the Long War. You've lived ten thousand years (time-warping effects aside), battling and training that entire time. Then you wind up shanked to death in an underhive by a drugged up criminal who proceeds to steal your boots from your still twitching feet, and then snort enough drugs to make that noise marine behind you blush.

To me, all imperial guard regiments are underrated. We are talking about millions of men and women who are laying down their lives to keep humanity safe. Yes, they are weak and not as strong as a space marine or ogryn, but they are fighting to see humanity thrive. Many will never see their home world again and everyone is sent to die in or on an unknown planet or landscape filled with evil. In the end, all imperial guard regiments deserve a moment of praise even if their names can't be mentioned individually. Long live the Imperial Guard! They are the last line of defense.

@sammoththemammoth1922

4 жыл бұрын

I love the Imperial guard, I have a well painted 2000 point army that I play regularly, but even then I can't say I love the Leman Russ. It makes no sense as a vehicle, let alone one that is meant to endure combat. Let's break it down: Turret - It has no negative gun depression, it can't aim down. It is too small to fit the gun in (Where does the breech go?) and even if it fits, the commander gets torn in half every time the gun fires as his seat is technically INSIDE the gun breech. How does the gun reload? In the books it says there's a loader but he can't fit in the turret. Hull - Vertical armour is bad (exceptions for certain composite armour types like on Leopard 2A4) and is riveted... riveted armour was considered outdated in WW2, the rivets when hit become bullets inside the tank. Riveted armour also requires a constructed frame for the armour to attach to, which limits the internal volume of the fighting compartment. Speaking of which, how are they meant to store ammo for the main gun when the fighting compartment alone is meant to house four men? If you include the rediculous sponson guns that is... Just get rid of those. Running Gear - Firstly, if the engine and transmition are so small that they can fit into that pinched little engine bay, could you not extend it to the sides a bit to fit some actual fuel tanks? Next is the suspension, this is my second biggest problem behind the rediculously tiny turret that kills the commander whenever you fire. THIS TANK HAS NO SUSPENSION. Do you realise how big of a problem this is? It's also a problem for the Chimera as well. With no suspension the road wheels are fixed in place, this vehicle can get stopped by a garden wall if it's built sturdily enough, also it can't absorb recoil fron the gun making the turret ring bear all the stress, if it doesn't have an internal turret basket (which makes sense if the ammo has to be passed up from the hull) this can mean when you fire the commander gets torn in half and then the turret flips backwards off your tank as the turret ring breaks. TL;DR - A badly designed vehicle that wouldn't make sense in any real world situation. As an answer to your question #2, a modern MBT can punch through roughly 600mm of Rolled Hemogenous Armour (RHA) at 2 Kilometers with little to no trouble, a leman russ, by my measurements can have no more than 300mm of armour on the front glasis plate before they have no room to put the driver. 50mm armour tops on the turret, add in the other 50mm mantlet you are looking at 100mm best estimate. A modern MBT can see a target, get gun on target, and then fire at the target in less than 10 seconds. The Leman Russ might have a futuristic gun, but without suspension it's gun stabiliser is going to have a hard time servising a target, it would have to stop and hope to god the enemy is above them on a hill because it can't bring it's gun down to actually hit anything lower than it.

The number 1 issue most have with the Imperal Guard is that much of the guards personal which are that they are generally under trained for their mission of protecting mankind. Compared to other sci fi universes . Examples of generally better trained militaries in sci fi are Mass Effects Alliance Marines , Halo's UNSC Army and Marines are all generally superior in training terms . A counter and reason for this is that these other Sci Fi militaries are smaller in numbers thus require higher training level to counter large numbers of enemies than themselves. The Guard falls under the saying Quantity has a Quality all its own.
