like clockwork
can my answer be all of them?
>>48264220
The first 40K army I ever bought was that special edition all-pewter Praetorian box set they released waaaaaaaaaay back when, so I've got a soft spot for them nostalgia wise. Other than that I haven't been at all into the game since 3rd edition so I'm terribly unfamiliar with the canon/lore/rules etc... I always thought that the Cadians were badass thought. Something about holding the line, being that close to the eye of terror I thought was gritty as fuck.
Steel Legion.

that's the joke

Praetorian Guard, because fuck camo lets bring shiny red uniforms and tea good old chap! Talyho!
>>48269681
Guardsmen are numerous enough to practice Defence in Depth, the line there is dead for sure but the line behind should be waiting.
Tallarn

Was going to post this exact thing. I love their fluff, how they are the Heavy Infantry version of Eylsians.
Fen Guard!
Stomping through swamps, raiding each other's Grox herds, ain't afraid of no trench foot ro horny SoBs trying to peek up their skirts!
>>48269646
You can tell she's not from catachan because she's not bigger than the stormtroopers.
>>48264220
I actually like the Cadians best... or my custom homebruu 45th Targian Purebloods.
Let me tell you about them.
They are the Imperial Guard raised from a planet liberated by the blood angels. It is to them they owe their lineage and existence. As such there are many differences in their imperial creed. They follow the cult of sanguinus and are selected from birth to serve in the imperial guard, training from when they could first hold a lasgun. They follow the ritual of pure blood, eschewing all forms of taint such as alcohol and drugs. They are first introduced into the local sanguinary churches choir, but when they reach age 18 they are given their purity seal by the sanguinary priests, this allows them to travel to the capital city and undergo the rite of pureblood. This involves the implant of a special chemgland which has strange rejuvenating properties, it is known as the Mark 1 chemgland. They can resist poisons and heal injuries aswell as gland stimm and detox to keep the blood pure.
The planet targon is formed of many tribes unified under legal charter. The capital city is similar to an imperial city but also hosts the site of a blood angels fortress monastery. It is there where advanced training is done, aswell as chem gland training. Due to their training in the tribal tundra lands most purebloods are already well versed fronteers survival, navigation, hunting and fieldcraft. Once they get to the capital they are further trained in line infantry tactics, heavy armour, artillery and patrols to guard the giant rolligon trains that travel over tundra and marsh to bring supplies to the city.

Continued 1.
They are known to employ thudd guns for heavy bombardment, aswell as using a locally produced copy of the space marine .998 heavy bolter, which they standardise use instead of an autocannon and regular .775 heavy bolter, it is not as fine a product as the real astarties heavy bolter, but it uses the same ammunition, allowing astarties to easily refill their supply by battlefield pickup.
They are known for employing chainblades instead of standard bayonetts. This combined with stimm can make them very difficult to defeat in close quarters.
Their preferred assault weapons are either the sniper or the cadian pattern grenade launcher. These weapons are used by the squads designated sharpshooter who is generally selected for the quality of their eyes including not just range but night vision also.
Thats all for now.

There is literally NOTHING good about huan yawn. They are a chinese grease mark on the face of 40k and dont do anything interesting, there only unique points are migrain colours and neckbeard fluff.
Die.
Most certainly the Mordians. I love Mordia's aesthetics, background, and I adore the Iron Guard's way of battle.
>>48276128
This faggot stole my paint scheme....like, exactly....
Fahck you
>>48279293
Do you think people with hip replacements regularly break what their standing on? The whole advantage of titanium is it's strength to weight ratio.
>>48280059
There is a distinct line between an artificial hip and an artificial hip, spinal column lungs, heart, ribcage, subdermal armour, mechadendrite system, superdermal plating, fully motorized prosthetic limbs and a vibrator between the legs for full functionality, and that's before the gear.
>>48280059
You'd get laughed out of the skitarii if a false hip was all you had as far as modifications go.
>>48269048
>the joke is that it's both wrong and unfunny.
is this an american thing?
Praetorians or Mordians are the best.
Anyone who says Kreig should be ignored.
>>48280263
>I have terrible taste
>"Ignore people with better taste than me!"
Sure, buddy.
>>48280230
you're new... right?
"it aint me" is a common replacer for fortunate son and it has been for years across almost every board

it's common knowledge anyone who likes kreig has fetal-alcohol syndrome.

>>48279172
Something troubling you, friend?
I suppose I like the Armageddon legion the most, followed by Cadians. I like mixing Tanks and light infantry together but I can't deny the utility of veterans in chimeras.
You know, we don't seem to have any regiments focused on the Abhumans. I suppose thats a side effect of said humans being overpriced on the table. A CQC regiment hailing from a Hive City might be super appreciative of Ogryn squads, for example. Though all the humans would need respirators just to tolerate being nose-to-ass with the Orgryns in the mazelike confines of the hives.
KREIG!
KREIG!
KREIG!

considering most of that universe would kill any base line human with no problem at all, All of her male squade mates are screaming just as loud for their daddy's.
i'm a fan of your standard Cadian-type guardsmen pulled up from all over the Sectors.
I absolutely love the Death Korps of Krieg for how innately over the top stupid it is.

>>48279762
Dude, red+khaki is, like, a standard scheme for shit.
>>48278394
Thats not a regiment, but you are along the right lines.
Best regiment is in fact either the Catachan 2nd or the Prosan 314th a mixed regiment of Catachan 182nd and Elysian 80th regiments.
>>48269111

I have a soft Spot for The Minervan Tank Legions, Basically the armoured Calvary of the Steel Legion

BRING IT OWN YOU CHAOS FUCKS ILL TAKE TOU ALL
>>48264220
I like the Vostroyans. They've seduced me with their mustaches. I'm going to do some writefaggotry about a Firstborn regiment sent to garrison a sector filled with space rednecks who hate outsiders eventually.
>>48285413
>>48286017
>>48279172
What the fuck is your problem
>>48288984
>how dare you insult muh precious /tg/ fanfics
>>48279429
I like you. Quick refresher question for you. Aren't Commissars scared to work with the Mordians?
>>48279762
That just means you have good taste.
>>48281968
Interesting, i found your fluff on the 'net.
http://pastebin.com/2zdExZeX
It seems that you could bulk out the personalities and social zeitgeist aspects of your regiment.
My hombruu is here:
>>48276128
I Cant believe no one has said this
The Sly Marbo Regiment. One man regiment.
>>48291710
>Sling swivel on the magazine
>That useless LAM
>Barrel big enough to fit a 40mm grenade
Thanks 40k
>>48289284
Commisars are scared to work with a lot of regiments.
>Drookians
They'll stab you to death by accident because you're not tough enough to play their games
>Krieg
They'll shoot you in the face because they 're autistic and thought you said something vaguely disloyal to some extent or you've just lived too long for their liking and must therefor be a coward
>Catachans
Smelly uncivilized barbarians with no respect for authority who will kill you because you thought you'd make an example out of one of them
>Tallarn
Can't ride a horse? Fuck you, eat our dust and crawl back to base with your broken legs then.
It's just a way authors use to get across the point that specific regiment is hard as nails badasses.
>>48291710
>trapped on the jungle deathworld of Mordris Prime
>surrounded by Orks, Tyranids, and Heretics
>"It ain't me" starts playing
>I know I'm saved
Thanks, Sly Marbo
>tfw your regiment works for the Inquisition and everyone gets plasmaguns instead of lasguns
Why the Inquisition doesn't hire all Cadians and issue them plasmaguns too? chaos would be fucked
>>48264220
Savlar Chem-doges
>>48292201
Following Tabletop-as-Prior logic, a basic guardsman unit would cost 200pts for ten men. That's four times the usual price for reference's sake, and considerably more than ten Space Marines.
>>48292028
>implying fortunate son is sly marbo's theme song
>not all along the watchtower
>not welcome to the jungle
Sly Marbo has a bigger appetite for destruction than those Guns N' Roses ever did
>>48292201
D-99?
>>48268831
Excellent taste.
>>48292201
Wouldnt the =I= have to kill them after every battle to stop the spread of chaos? Seems counter productive.
>>48264220
1. I fooled around with the regiment creation tables on 1d4chan and ended up with a (sort of mary sue-ish) all female mechanized infantry regiment from an ice world.
I ended up fluffing them as Space Wolf auxillaries because that fit pretty well.
>>48292201
Plasmaguns are difficult to maintain on the current deployment scale, but Inquisitors don't really have to care about that.
>>48292879
And they have (or had, I'm a couple of editions behind) the tendency to explode in the users' hands after a small number of consecutive shits
>>48289062
>free OC is a bad thing
>>48292201
>Arming all your forces with plasmaguns
>>48289062
My problem is that instead of offering suggestions to refine the idea, you just bitch like a petulant child.
Hua Yuan is open source and a living document, changes are being made to this day and any suggestions for improvement will be, and have been, taken into consideration.
But I suppose its easier to shitpost
>>48264220
this one
>>48264220
does anyone else prefer pre-earmuff cadians?
>>48294881
I'm planning on going to the forgeworld store and buying exactly this. I'm jealous you already have it.
>>48295051
Space Wehrmacht Cadians were the best.
Cadian 122nd present and accounted for, sir.
Don't mind me, just a perfectly normal regimentBLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
>>48298158
W-what are you talking about, we are perfectly loyal. Is this is some sort of test?
>>48298378
We are only serving in the name of the Fals..I meant the God Emperor, please stop questioning our loyalty
>>48291966
Why are the Drookians so basedBecause they are Scots obviously
