What does /k/ think of the Imperial Guard standard body armour?

I think it doesnt actually have anywhere to keep water, spare power packs, or pretty much anything else you'd need to fight.

That, and the only battles we see are the ones that are the hardest fought on planetary scales. Combat in other theaters or under competent officers makes the IG seem no worse than a contemporary western military.

And yes, they do have commissars. They just tend to die under mysterious circumstances.

Not only this, but game-wise the IG are generally portrayed as the relatively low-tech, no-frills underdogs. It's been part of their appeal since 2nd edition, particularly since they're usually fighting crazy shit like Space Marines, thousand year old alien monsters, and literal killing machines.

If they weren't actually a competent, relatively powerful military organization, the Imperium would have collapsed a long time ago. I stopped playing the game back in late 4th edition so this may no longer be canon, but original IG lore was based around them being drawn from the top 10% of the local PDF and then sent for additional training and equipment as they were organized into the Guard proper.

>>32160311
That's pretty much the case still, at least as far as fluff goes. Shit only seems to go poorly for them when the IG has to kowtow to planetary governments or uses specialist units improperly.

Sure you are, heretic.

Lasguns are cool. They might not do jack shit to the heavy armor almost everyone wears in the WH40k universe but god damn I love how versatile and resilient they are, I also like how the magazines can be recharged in sunlight or quick charged in a fucking fire.

>>32160951
Or overloaded and used to disable a Chaos dreadnought. I can't remember if it was Mkoll or Mkvenner that did that.

>>32160973

Yeah an overloaded lasgun can make a devastating explosive. But you'd have to be pretty desperate to want to blow up a nice weapon like that.

It's actually a bit optimistic. 40k assumes humanity gets its shit together and creates a government that survives 10,000 years and everyone still has guns. Living standards vary, but the fact we somehow hold back the universe's worst horrors is no small achievement.

>>32162653
