Historical perspectives on the new imperial guard codex Part three

Hello my friends, I come before you today to announce a new beginning. A brand new day for the imperial guard. Its Morning on Cadia once again.

I've play imperial guard since 1983, when my 241-man space marine army was wiped out by a Tallarn truck bomb at a tournament in Lebannon. In that time, I've learned the best way to combat the evil Tau empire and its confederates around the Universe!

Previously, Imperial guard armies have operated around the principle of Mutually assured destruction. The Idea that victory can only be achieved by great sacrifice. I am here today to tell you that this is utter nonsense, propagated by liberal democrats and quiche eaters from the east coast. Their slavish devotion to the so-called welfare of hundreds of conscripts is a drain on our nation and its ability to make war. They opt to ignore the fact that most conscripts choose their station in life, and that to give them rifles or even body armor only encourages this behavior. Conscripts should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and become proper soldiers! These commanders deny their forces the technological resources to deter Tau agression.

In order to achieve total strategic superiority, we need to make serious cuts to the resources alotted for our infantry companies! Infantrymen only exist to protect other battlefield resources.

We will use the money save to purchase several of the new deathstrike missiles, in order to intimidate our opponents into submission. No commander with the slightest amount of common sense will every threaten us.

Every planet and every people has a stake in the Anti-Tau resistance, for these freedom fighters are defending principles of independence and freedom that form the basis of global security and stability. We must be the arsenal for those fighting this scourge, Irregardless of the potential consequences doing so may bring about!

Our commanders and sergeants are poorly paid because of a bureacratic political chain of command! We must eliminate this wasteful act of government intrusion, ensuring the battle prowess of our commanders is second to none. All Officers and sergeants should and must be able to equip themselves with the finest and most expensive equipment! Every sergeant and ever officer should be in possesion of a plasma pistol, a power sword, carapace armour, and all varieties of grenade! Front line troops should be encouraged to emulate these men as they would their fathers, rather than being handed supplies they will never know how to properly use them!! An exception to this principle can be found in the veteran and penal legionaire squads.

The Contras were more important to the cause of Nicaraguan resistance than our troops ever could be, primarily because they operate without that what has become so entrenched within the United State army. The same can be said for the Imperial Guard!

Battle tanks play an important battlefield role, but obscure our ultimate goal of unmanning the front lines. As long as they remain viable, Vehicles must meet the highest standard of technological prowess! Tanks should be given every sort of upgrade to intimidate the opponent into surrender!

Well I've said it before and I'll say it again — The Imperiums best days are yet to come. Our proudest moments are yet to be. Our most glorious achievements are just ahead.

Historical perspectives on the new imperial guard codex Part two

For the release of the new imperial guard army list, I give three cheers! Hooray for the war! Hooray for Italy's war! Hooray for all wars that ever have been and ever will be, for peace is an absurdity as a permanent state, and only serves our needs as a preparatory stage between wars. Peace referring to the stagnation provided by previous imperial guard lists which would prevent us from asserting Italy's glory on the world stage. With the new revisions, our nation stands astride the world as a colossus! Allows us to display the great power that fascism has brought the nation of Italy!


Some Marxist simpletons will claim that the potential for war -making lies in the vast quantities of troops an imperial guard commander may field. This is utter hogwash! The true potential lies with the armour provided through heavy industrialization and the training of elite, ideologically motivated soldiers! When I led our nation into ethiopia, our army crushed the unwashed masses of ethiopian troops adhearing to the former set of strategic principles! This should be proof enough of the superiority of the Fascist imperial army!

Second line imperial guard infantry squads are both too incompetent and too unzealous to be of any great import to grand strategy. Conscripts, tainted with the twin evils of Marxism and internationalism, are a waste of the time, effort and resources required to convert them into even a second rate battlefield force! The true face of the fascist infantryman lies in the Storm Trooper, the Veteran and the brown shirted penal legionaire! These units have both the practical skill and political conditioning to ensure that they will be a lethal force on the battlefield, needing not the overstuffed petty authority of the political officer. Bolstering the effective strength of these units via the use of armoured transports is paramount to protect the relatively soft units within, and for the purpose of rapid deployment, the seizing of new territory early in a battle, and the optional paralysis forced upon the enemy by the presence of armoured vehicles in a both a support and assault role.

The most important of our forces however, are the iron knights of our empire, the Leman Russ battle tank and its variants! In sufficient quantity, these vehicles can destroy any fighting vehicle or infantry squad that challenge them, Often before the enemy can move his forces into their positions! 6 Battle cannon shots can obliterate the better part of an opponents effective force, leaving them militarily impotent, merely waiting for their total destruction! For my part, I certainly prefer 10 leman russ battle tanks to one thousands votes, or even one thousand men!
Blood alone oils the tracks of history! No force can resist the advance of these tanks, and their strategic value is ensured merely by their sheer quantity. Even if 3 out of 6 Leman russ tanks are destroyed, the opposing army will be so shaken by the firestorm they have thus far endured, that they will be easy pickings for the mounted heavy infantry which they chose to ignore in favor of these engines of destruction.

The petty internationalist army, though it may seem daunting at first, by virtue of its size, will find itself buried under a sea of ordinance templates. The inaccuracy of these units means that they are virtually useless against armour unless they outnumber our forces at least Three to One. Simply put, the battle tank is always superior to the basic infantry unit, and has a greater chance of destroying or routing it, than the infantry squad does of destroying or immobilizing said vehicle.

It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.
