Who told you to die! Keep fighting!
- Commissar Otto Xavier

With over a billion soldiers at its disposal, the Imperial Guard is the largest and most diverse single military body in the galaxy. It is without question the Imperium survives because of these valiant men and women who serve the Emperor without fail. They are the first line of defense and often, the last as well.

Often equipped with nothing more than close combat weapons, their armor is a thin flak jacket and the hundreds of Guardsmen in front of them. That is, until they hit the front line and become living shields for the men behind them. There are no personal victories in the Imperial Guard. They live and die by the thousands each day, but they get the job done!

But any foe who believes that the Guardsmen are only good for dying is in for a rude awakening. At their command lies awesome firepower and the ability to visit blistering ruin upon the enemy. They are the masters of mechanized warfare, entering the field of combat with an assortment of highly specialized armored vehicles.

Providing reconnaissance and advanced scouting are the quick-footed and bird-legged SENTINELS, which also engage in guerilla warfare to raid enemy positions. Equally quick are the CHIMERA transports, which ferry soldiers to the front line and protect them with armor plating and a variety of weapons. Mounting a transport with an Inferno Cannon turns the Chimera into a fire-spewing HELLHOUND, a vehicle to be feared by any ground force.

The Guardsman can also direct the awesome firepower of the BASILISK against enemy positions. With its Earthshaker artillery cannon, a Basilisk can obliterate enemy positions from afar, making it the most powerful artillery weapon on either side of the conflict.

For absolute mastery of the battlefield, however, the BANEBLADE is oldest Imperial tank still in use and the grandfather of punishment. Its appearance on the frontline can rally Guardsmen to the battle or scatter the enemy under the punishing onslaught of its 12 heavy weapons.

The mainstay and backbone of the Imperial Guard's mechanical cavalry, however, is the LEMAN RUSS BATTLE TANK. This versatile and customizable vehicle can sport any number of different hull weapons to contend with a variety of foes.

Despite their reliance on mechanized units, the Imperial Guard is a formidable adversary in close-quarter combat. Under the COMMAND SQUAD, the Guard wields a vast array of soldiers, from the merciless COMMISSAR who ensures nobody falters lest they face execution, to the PRIESTS who inspire and fight despite the most mortal of wounds, to the PSYKER who unleashes a barrage of mental powers to cripple enemies, to the ASSASSIN VINDICARE who performs surgical kills.

The Imperial Guard also commands specialized units. Be it the muscle of the large, slow but brutal Ogryn with their ripper guns, or the elite and veteran experience of the rapid-strike Kasrkin Squads, the Imperial Guard always has the right tools for any job.

Eine kleine info für die einheiten der alten rassen.
Als zweites :

Chaplain

In today's world, a chaplain is a humble, pious man who stays behind enemy lines, and ministers to the spiritual needs of the soldiers in camp. Such is not the case in the Warhammer 40,000 Universe. In the world of the distant future, a Space Marine Chaplain of the Imperium of Man is a towering figure on the battlefield who wades into the carnage of the front lines, and lays waste to all he sees. His unflinching courage and his battle prowess serve to inspire his brother Space Marines in the face of impossible odds.

We've tried to capture this feeling in Dawn of War: Winter Assault. We've made the Space Marine Chaplain a powerful hero unit that will now be available when you upgrade your Stronghold. The Space Marine Chaplain is not quite a match for the Space Marine Force Commander in hand-to-hand combat, but the effect he has on nearby Space Marines more than makes up for the difference. Space Marines who fight near the Space Marine Chaplain will almost never break morale, and they will also take far more punishment and damage before they allow themselves to collapse from their wounds. The Space Marine Chaplain also has a Demoralizing Shout he can use to frighten nearby enemies. This paralyzes the enemy with fear and makes it difficult for them to advance (or retreat which they often want to do).

Any Space Marine worth his salt would never allow a minor inconvenience such as a severed limb or missing vital organ to slow his advance with a Space Marine Chaplain in the area. And only the most resolute enemies can withstand the Space Marine Chaplain's focused fury. Such is the degree of their inspiration….such is the fear they instill.
