"The Commissar is dead?"

"Keep fighting he might be faking it "

[gabrielaubry]

"The Imperial Army?"
"The Imperial Guard?"
"THE WALL OF GUNS!"

[luminous]

“For every one of us who falls, *ten more* will take his place!”

“Well, let’s see ‘em fight *all* of us!”

[MeetYourDarkSide]

A single Guardsman, an unaugmented man who looked a towering demigod straight in the eye and basically told him that if anyone wanted to get to the Emperor, they had to get through him first. His name was Ollanius Pius, and he knew no fear.

[Cao-Cao-Blue-Army]

Guardsman: "sir, the enemy have us surrounded!"

Commisar: "FANTASTIC! now we can attack in any direction!"

Astra Mili-what? YOU'RE IN THE GUARD SON

"Alone, they are nothing. But they are never alone."
Badass.

[Xion_Toshiro]

"The Imperial Guardsmen never die;
We just go back to Hell, to regroup!!"

"Now.... Fix Bayonets!"

[richardmoore]

*Shoots Commisar*

"He was improperly motivated to die for the emperor"

*Gasmask noises of agreement*

You know things are going well when the Commisar is shooting the enemy.

"You see, necrons have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them, until they reached their limit and shut down." Solar Commander Zapp Brannigan.

I have a guardsman that killed an Blood Angel Chaplain in tabletop. He has a purity seal now. They can do it.

[StylesV]

Dark Angel: "Take up your weapon guardsmen."
Guardsmen: "The Emperor Protects!"
Dark Angel: "Yes. He does."

[The_Viscount]

"Commissar, sir, the enemy is running!"
"Drive me closer! I want to hit them with my sword!"

[TheIfifi]

"Astra Mili-what? YOU'RE IN THE GUARD SON!"
"They came at me faster than I could gut them.... SO I HAD TO GUT THEM FASTER!"

[redeye]

My favorite part in Cadia Stands is when these two guardsmen escape the destruction of Cadia onto a Space Wolves ship, and two Space Marines on the ship make the Aquila and the two guardsmen stop but the one that brought them there just says: “Do not fear. They are saluting you.”

[frankdelgrosso]

This quote is from an Ogryn Bodyguard and reminds me very much of my own time in the Army "Da Sergeant Major asked me what my job was an' I said it was to, uh, do what I was told. He said I was a genius and gave me another medal. I likes da Imperial Guard!"
