clone trooper: "sir we're just clones we're meant to be expendable" commissar: "by the emperor you are! charge!"

[dakotalange]

Krieger *sees clone*
Krieger “brother?”
Clone “what?!”
Krieger “BROTHER!”

Being in the guard:
Necrons come:
"They've sent in the supers!"

People (even writers themselves) forget Clone Troopers aren't normal humans, they were genetical modified to be strongers, faster, have quicker reaction times, be less prone to stress etc
They are super-soldiers by those metrics.

[azureheart]

It hurts to hear that Clones were better without their Jedi, but then I remember that Magic Space Samurai don’t equal effective generals.

[derskalde]

You know, funny thing is, you basically could import Star Wars' Clone Troopers and say "oh, they're from this little planet, and are based on an ancient terran story the planetary Gouverneur found and loved, so they styled their army after them.

One thing, that I think was also mentioned in the reasons why the empire stopped using clones, is that they're all the same guy, which makes them subsceptible to biological/chemical weapons. For example, enemy forces could just bio-engineer a weapon, that only affects clones, due to them being genetically identical.

[BAKER_SWEETS]

Honestly the Imperial Army Troopers look like a guard regiment and the ancient sith Imperials look like solar auxilia

[Tracer_Krieg]

I'm going to throw one more element onto this: the actual physique of the Clones. As seen with Alpha 17, the ARC Trooper who accompanied Obi-Wan and Anakin during most of the Republic Comic run, Clones are built like brickhouses and possess incredibly reflexes, hand-eye coordination and superior cognitive abilities compared to regular soldiers. Even Mandalorian's depiction of Boba Fett, a supposed 'unaltered' Clone, was able to manhandle and throw Stormtroopers with ease, smash armor like butter, and survive the acid stomachs of a Sarlaac with only superficial burns to show.
In short, Clones would be like the bastard love children of Catachans and Kasrkin, the latter confirmed to have been chemically enhanced to move fast enough to disorient a Daemonhost (source, the Eisenhorn novel Hereticus).

Even as an old man Rex was tossing around storm troopers like no ones business. Good video bro keep it up!

For those 40K fans who need a weapons comparison between the clones and 40K, blasters are tau pulse rifles.

[williambond]

I feel like the fact that their willing to follow out any order with peak effectiveness and are loyal to their core would make the Imperium fall in love with them.

[williamwallace]

Planetary Governor: “You’ll be delighted to hear that we are on schedule. 200, 000 units are ready, with a million more well on the way.

Imperial Tithe Officer: “That’s…good news.”

[Marechal_Dieu]

Alpha Legionary : ( see an army of clone wearing the same face and having encrypted orders in their brain )

Alpha Legionary : Did they use our methods now !?

[grayflaneur]

"It's still just like the simulations.."

[russby]

Being an army of one guy, they'd have trouble relating to a Kriegsman? Bold of you to assume that the Kriegsman isn't an army of one guy as well!

[preknife]

The idea of clone commissars is a funny concept imo

[NoFlu]

A downside that's also worth mentioning:
Their blind obedience to authority could make them an easy target for heretics. We all saw what Palpatine did, I can see it going equally bad if a heretic gets in command of a regiment of these guys...

[phil]

The Clones would be best for fighting the tau. Their plasma weapons have ionic properties to damage machinery, even without penetration. And they have ready access to Emp grenades and other weapons.

If the Jedi were present for the Imperium to use they would also be the best at fighting tau, their infantry weapons are just roided blasters and they could block it

Still the underdogs (your fighting gundams) but they could inflict more casualties than your bog standard guard and this would likely be the most cost effective use of them

[pandawok]

Of the biggest obstacles the clones would have to deal with is the Adeptus Mechanicus. Cause most of the tech, weapons and vehicles they use will be declared Tech-Heresy unless a bunch of newly discovered STCs would prove otherwise.
