Inexplicably found himself thrown to the ground on the other side of the ridge. It took several seconds for his nervous system to register what has happened. He was shoved aside by an Imperator class titan that now emerged from his hiding space in the nearby strawberry bush, carefully infiltrated there by some kind of tactical genius..... and then the last thing he heard were the muffled screams of massacred Nightlords.

Strawberry bush, in Cadia ? The seeds are probably grenades, the juice is aid and it can double as a fragmentation grenade. Cadians wouldn't dedicate open space for agriculture otherwise.

Space marines are very physically and mentally powerful. Guardsman are way out of their depth and under equipped to boot. So it takes a mix of quick wit, skill and uncommon sense for them to survive, which I think can lead to more interesting tales.

KaiserAfini they aren’t necessarily under equipped, they have weapons that are quite effective, when used against the targets they normally face. When you shoot at massive monsters, armored super soldiers, or many other horrors, they are less effective, but still able to get kills. And that’s just the lasgun.

Love guardsmen stories where they go toe to toe with traitor astartes and manage to take them on through guile and wits (not to mention some luck). I remember one of the Gaunts Ghosts novels where his squad went up against a couple of chaos marines. The abuse the marines took before they got put down was something else. Hot shot long las rounds aimed at the neck joint of the helmet taking one guys helmet off and even then he was a beast. Great fun to read.

A pleasure as always

The Imperial Guard definitely deserve some more shine because often in 40k the most human and everyday stories are found amongst the normal soldiers. I’ve been reading the Ciaphus Caine novels lately and they are hilarious and are full of info about the everyday shit that the soldiers get up to,it’s great reading

What I liked about the two stories in Codex: Chaos was that the Hand of Darkness was resurrected years later as the weapon that the Planet Killer was built around.

I feel like there should be a story where some chaos space marines get their ass's banded to them by a bunch of veteran guardsman. Like a predator versus Arnold Schwarzenegger moment.

I love stories about the night lords ❤

I have to say everytime I take a break from 40k and then come back to it I feel as if I'm falling in love with the series all over again. Honestly nothing even compares and that includes Star wars as well and that is quite the achievement if I do say so myself...

I recently picked up a getting started Imperial Men box and a box of Tempestus Scions to March along side with my Dark Angels

Love how you mention he tried to get his bolter free from his severed arm. .... theres more parts of the story further in the codex if i remember correctly

Something is wrong...hmm... oop there's my arm. Dang it.

WE HAVE COME FOR YOU!

In my opinion, the Night Lords have the saddest story second only to the World Eaters. Angron was altered by the Butcher's Nails and the Emperor knew of them and could have healed him but did not. The Emperor knew of Konrad's mental health issues, could have healed him as well but didnt. The fact that in both of these two sons, the Emperor showed a level of disregard is the true foundation of the Horus Heresy. With Angron, the Emperor basically said "Deal with it, grow up, move on!" But with Konrad, he said "I know you are in pain, sick in need of my help, but no, I will sit back and watch you slowly destroy your legion, your world and yourself!" I my opinion that one act of the Emperor makes Konrad and the Night Lords, the original legion not the later legion loyal, they were exactly what the Emperor wanted them to be. Now later on, they did change from a noble idea of murder and terror to a unchecked terror and mayhem, total disregard of all the principals of the Imperium, just my opinion. I would love to see a resurgence of the older loyal Night Lords come back to the Imperium to fight for the Imperium, providing their worth and loyalty for all to see. If you look back into history, every ruler needed and had an executioner and or that one general that was not like the rest, Konrad was that guy for the Emperor. So sad the in the end Konrad and his legion were thrown away.

Nurgle is trying to get to the wolf lord!!

Well going by sheer model count and stats, yeah the Cadians stood absolutely no chance, a single squad, 10 Guardsmen at most, though more likely 1 Sergeant, 2 Guardsmen, and 7 Conscripts, vs 2 squads of Chaos Space Marines, maybe 20 Space Marines in total, though as few as 10. Not to mention that the Night Haunters aren't known for picking targets that can fight back.
