The Death Korps are mindlessly devoted to the mission and would give their life to complete it without a second thought. The Cadians are relentlessly drilled in the practicals of combat and instructed in the theoreticals of tactics and strategy, each of them could be an officer in their own right. Catachans are resourceful, almost superhumanly large and strong motherhubbards who could survive and thrive in the most miserable conditions.

Which regiment (not just the ones I listed) would make for the best soldier in a modern army? I'm sure there are at least a few former or current officers here. Which one of them would you prefer to have under your command? I hope this is on-topic, we discuss war here right?
>>
>>62859019
Probably not Catachan as their very loose discipline is not not conductive with the optics of modern-day warfare where even the highest-intensity conflicts expect you to make an attempt to convince the locals you're occupying you're on their side.
Death Korps wouldn't be that great at convincing people the justness of their cause, but on the other hand I don't see them doing the usual bored soldier shit that escalates into turning enemy POWs into skull cups neither.
I don't have much info on how Cadians operate as an occupational force.

Harakoni Warhawks are probably the most "modern" of the IG regiments in that they have a strong focus on small but elite units with excellent equipment who are backed up by air support. The Elysians are similar, but they trade quality for quantity. The other regiments are entirely fantastical or based on an outmoded form of warfare.

I also reckon Catachan would be good for modern warfare, since they are an entire planet of MACV-SOG.

She's an adorable catgirl with cutesy cat mannerisms, so she'll win hearts and minds in a counterinsurgency operation.

For my money, if I could get them, I would want the Tanith. Excellent light infantry, incredible spirit de corps, and armed with a relatively modern mix of infantry equipment for an IG unit (las guns, light MGs, anti tank weapons, mortars, etc). Of course there's maybe only a thousand or so original Tanith left at this point...

>>62859115
>Static emplacements, mass formations, and centralized artillery
that describes every modern war that isn't an insurgency. Large scale maneuver warfare has happened like twice since 1945, and the Kriegers pulled off some decently coordinated mechanized maneuvers on Vraks, so they seem capable of it, they just prefer to die for the emprah. Their commissars are there to *stop* them from dying pointlessly after all.

That doesn't mean the warp was safe before then either. When human psykers first began cropping up (again), they were often almost immediately killed because warp daemons began possessing them.
Now, going by the original and better lore, humans used to have psykers in the distant past, acting as tribal shamans warding off these warp entities from harming their kin. 40 of these shamans foresaw the future of humanity and committed ritual mass suicide to fuse their souls into one big soul, the Emperor, which then entered into a human woman at conception and led to his official birth.
In the new, shitty lore, that's been retconned in favor of the Emperor just happening to have been born that way by complete chance and he also has a Mary Sue ex-wife who fucked everything up but also can do no wrong because woman. I don't know much more of the new lore regarding all that, I just know it fucking sucks and I hate it with a passion.

Unironically the Valhallan 597th from the Caiphas Cain books. A mechanized medium infantry regiment with organic reconnaissance, combat engineer, and air defense assets, mobile enough to react quickly to evolving situations but with the armor and portable heavy weapons it needs to assault a position or set up a strongpoint. It's a balanced and powerful battlegroup for low-mid intensity combat, about the only downsides I can think of off the top of my head are it's lack of heavy armor or artillery which are baked in so to speak, and it's lack of mortars which I don't recall ever being mentioned in the series

I think so, but they're more into bullying the absolute fuck out of the poor assholes they fight against. They'll murder you, your family, everyone else nearby, and then steal all your shit, and they do it all with the blessing of the High Lords of Terra. They're like the only chapter that directly answers to the High Lords. Combined arms warfare with the purpose of encircling foes before smashing them.
Raptors are more stealthy and greatly prefer ranged warfare, like how modern Special Forces are meant to be. Their tactics can vary because they're encouraged to think on their feet rather than mindlessly referring to Gorillaman's book like a certain chapter of plot-armored blueberries. They even make use of actual camouflage patterns that fit their surroundings, which other chapters look on with disdain as a dishonorable and cowardly practice. On that note, they really don't care about martial glory or honor, they only care about raw pragmatism and being as efficient as possible.
The OD green color they use as their chapter colors is done because it's a practical color that could easily fit any planet, but they'll readily paint camo patterns over that when the time comes. I don't think they're opposed to working with the Guard either, in whatever capacity is necessary. They're kinda like if Catachans and Taniths became Space Marines.
Arguably, they're one of the most /k/ chapters. I mean their logo is even the head of a damn bald eagle.

My grandfather served in Korea on an M16 halftrack. He had plenty of stories from his time there. He said once that the only time he ever felt safe over there was sitting behind those guns. He also had very in depth knowledge of Chinese wave attacks. Finally I made the mistake of asking him when I was 12 or 13 if he had to kill anyone while he was over there. I have to explain something about him before I say his answer. He was always very quick to respond to questions and always had definitive answers. When I asked him he had a pause for about the longest 3-4 seconds of my life. Then said "You know anon, its very hard to tell with everything going on in war to know what happened". I knew before he even answered because of that pause and his role on the halftrack he probably killed hundreds if not thousands. I regret asking him that since he probably struggled with that his whole life. Apparently he never talked about his time in the service until my brother and I came along according to my Mom.

The real original and better lore is that the original implication (because back then Games Workshop knew less is more when it comes to a setting and didn't have to make sell a bunch of novels to make a quick buck) that Emperor was a mere super psyker who happened to beat all the other techno-barbarians in the fight to control Terra. It's much better than being an ancient immortal shaman-gestalt born to oversee humanity as its god, who also happens to fuck up all the time.

>>62868018
The problem with making him this all powerful shaman who can see the future, but cant, makes it really dumb.

In one of the books about Cawl, Cawl remembers when he talked to the emperor as a previous version of himself who the emperor still called Cawl (Because he knew that he would be cawl eventually) about giving him his blessing to make the Primaris marines in the future to fight agianst the traitor legions.

This was all before the HH which means that the Emperor 100% knew that the HH was going to happen even before the primarchs were found.

I'm almost certain the exact regiment this describes is the Lucifer Blacks. Been operating non-stop since the Unification Wars, guards the goddamn Imperial Palace alongside THE Custodes, and one of them made a Primarch bleed. In an actual fight too, not Konrad more or less committing suicide by assassin to own his dad because his visons were TOTALLY right and unavoidable. One of the Lucifer Blacks fights Alpharius and manages to get a hit or two on him before he dies. Considering a normal human would usually be dead before you could blink, that's impressive.
>>
>>62867633
Yeah, I also kinda prefer the mystery. I believe it was once even implied that he merely thought he was 40 shamans in a trench coat (or lied about it) and he was some experiment from the DAOT. I think that at the least would explain why he fucks up so much, him just being some sort of experiment gone wrong with an atheistic god complex.
>>62868018
You'd expect someone who's been around for literally all of human history and has outright shaped it from its earliest days would be less dumb. Like he was supposed to have been Alexander the Great, it's straight up canon that he was. And he learned fucking nothing from that? "Yeah let's just coooooonquer the world/galaxy, also no you can't know what I'm really planning fuck you go march through the desert to go home/burn down your favorite planet lmao"
And that's just ONE of his supposed personas throughout history. I'm pretty sure it's implied he was damn near every single important historical figure, be it Jesus, Moses, Muhammad, Hitler, Marx, Charlemagne, or Washington. Which in itself makes him a giant fucking retard for making up new ideologies every couple years and making sure they all oppose and hate each other. Unless his goal was to turn the world into a big crucible where mankind would hone itself to a razor's edge in the art of war, but then he has no right to be a pissy reddit atheist in 30k when he's talking to Uriah Olathaire considering he set all that shit up, be it deliberately or by monumental inbred nigger retard tier mistake. At the very least, if he was supposed to have been around since the beginning, he should have just sat by doing nothing and pretending he was normal, that at least just makes him an observer rather than someone who actually tried this shit a billion times before and went "nah, THIS time for sure!"
I think I actually prefer the idea of him being a laboratory mistake in like 20k or something.

the two are indistinguishable. why wouldn't the most powerful psyker invent a beneficial mythology that everyone believes? So powerful and useful that the emperor probably convinced himself to believe it so he couldn't be exposed as lying.

Not quite. They are predominantly war orphans of Imperial heroes/nobles. Trained as children, not near birth. They're all essentially bluebloods, so being modern incarnation of stormtroopers [original lore stormtroopers, not Fagrkin] they get the best gear and it's baroque in theme so they distinctly stand out from regular guard regiments.
They literally are a distinct suborganization of the guard from the regular guard regiments in the same way auxiallia are distinct assets.

I mean specifically the... how to put this, the character, the "archetype" called "the antichrist" concocted whole cloth by occultists in the 1900s, popular in British fiction in the second half of the century (Alan Moore is obsessed with the concept). It's like if I said Milton's Satan VS Biblical Satan.
I don't mean something from the bible, or earlier christian conception. I know it's stupidly convoluted.
