    Thank you so much for doing this one! It's always fun to go over the meme list that should really be an appendix of the actual Uplifting Primer, by now. I never expected Guard to be made as competitive as they are now, what with every other faction needing to be able to threaten them, and justify the existence of the Space Marines, and I have no idea if 10e will "reset" them to a more middling, benchmark level, but for now they get to live up to a lot of these memes, and I love it!

    @@primalreversion7034 Oh sure. I've been a Guard fan since 4e, so I feel I know how good Guard can be. On the other hand, their 9e showing does seem to be a bit more impressive than they often had been, in the past, and some of the silly memes that xan make them famous are legit things they can do, right now. 😊 For me, the issue with Guard has always been GW; they aren't Space Marines, and so they don't get the attention. They do better than certain Xenos factions, certainly, but they often feel more like a benchmark force; what other armies have to be better then because, in the lore, they threaten the Imperium, and the Guard is what that means they fight. Their ability to best the infinite, faceless masses of Mankind is what justifies the Astartes, which is the big seller of GW. In other times, Guard were a legit horde army, like Orks and Nids are/were, which meant a big investment for bunch of disposable dudes, or some tanks that played like monsters, with just enough guys you didn't really use, just to bubble wrap up Saud tanks, and keep them in the game. I'm not saying they sucked, or that they can't still field this way now, only that they are definitely, in my opinion, in the best spot they've been for editions, and years. And it might not last; when various factions got their 9e codex, they ruled the meta for a while, before getting nerfed into shape. 10e could do that to them; I don't know, but I'll be happy that, at least for now, they seem to be in a great place, even if it means you have a few auto-include options, which means other stuff almost never gets picked, until they dumb it down, and let Astartes become THE faction, again.
