Correction: While Steel Legion Stromtroopers may seem similar to Death Korps Grenadiers, they are very different as they are organized into divisions and usually are sent to support units on a company level. Additionally, while they do sometimes wear the Steel Legion rebreather most of them wear the usual Stormtrooper pug faced mask.

No joke the Kasrkin vs. Chaos Cult part in the second Eisenhorn book was epic. It started as "Well, seems elite enough" when they decimated the cultists effortlessly, but then the Daemon host appears and oh man the sequence was the indomitable human spirit kicking in. They died but they did to save and buy some time for Eisenhorn and his team; basically holding back.

Well tabletop Wargames started with little Tin Soldiers, way back in the 1700s. These Tin Soldiers were the "Army Men" of their time. The Napoleonic Tin Soldiers is what started D&D. "Chainmail" was a ruleset for incuding Fantasy elements in Napoleonic Wargames, And that is what directly inspired D&D. Warhammer Fantasy Battles Started cause Games Workshop had the UK license for D&D and they came up with it as a way to assemble your D&D mini collection into a whole army. Then 40k Rouge Trader was Warhammer Fantasy Battles "IN SPACE" So, it all comes Full Circle.

@sturm9087 5 дней назад

@@agent5778 after the Horus Heresy they were disbanded as a formation. They were an entirely self sufficient extremely well equipped human army that could quickly and easily replenish its numbers and had equipment for pretty much any kind of combat. They were nearly as dangerous as an astartes fleet when they went rogue. So the astartes got cut down into chapters because the imperium was run by primarchs after the heresy and they were seen as the perfection of human warriors by the emperor. The solar auxilia had no such protections so instead of being cut down into smaller formations they were outright removed as a pattern of the imperial army.

You could probably get a really good tactical strategy game out of the Scions or Kasrkin. Something like Aliens Dark Descent where you control a fire team in real-time to complete objectives, with an alarm meter that ramps up the difficulty as your team is discovered and spends more time fighting.

In terms of skill alone to make a wash down comparison. If the regular guard are equivalent to regular frontline battle brothers of the astartes, The Scions are the equivalent to the Grey Knights/Death Watch and the Lucifer Blacks are the Custodians.

They got two modes: Hot drop directly into the most well defended zones like a Helldiver, and then just hold out for as long as you can until the main force can relieve you.
