Hmm, do have a question regarding Race. Is that more like Caucasian, Hispanic, that sort of race, or we talking completely different from human? Figured I would clarify before mucking about too much with that whole aspect of things.

@Apollosarcher Could order someone else to do it, benefits of being in charge and all that.

I saw that, granted, my comrade is also possibly the only thing between a minor perils roll and daemons vomiting everywhere oh god why. But hey, at least comrades are replaceable! And its good to have a commissar ready to also BLAM my psyker in case if shenanigans, I suppose. But hey, odds of perils should be relatively slim, long as I aint pushing powers all the damn time. Again.

I'm still here, sure as sure.

Psykers get comrades, only Stormtroopers and Commissars dont get comrades, if memory serves. So three comrades and four PC's. And not a big mix, all things considered.

Some of the numbers like that I am actively ignoring and I think pretty much anyone with half a brain ignores as well. There are a damn sight more than a million marines at this point, I'd wager, between the various foundings and such. Likewise, I doubt millions of soldiers are lost on a single battle's meatgrinder. Maybe if the entire system is one glorified meatgrinder, it makes a bit more sense, but on one battle? Nah, not happening. In other news, eager to see how natsu handles our rather unconventional squad layout so far. Least we have a Sergeant, was half expecting that to not be filled before the campaign started, haha.

Which is useful, headcanon that is, as long as folks don't start arguing and disagreeing with the headcanon in a given story. I'm a fan of surprising competence from the Imperial Guard, especially with those players that worship the very ground their precious SPHESS MAHREENS walk on. Or anyone trumps them, really, its satisfying.

Yeah, but since when does GeeDubs care about the PDF making sense? They are meat bags to be thrown into the grinder, or used as the latest heretic enemies for our valiant protagonists of the story (Since they often times aren't heroes at all) to gleefully kick all over the place and look suitably badass without breaking the totem pole of power. Easier for Guard elite to kick around PDF/Guard traitors than it is daemons, even a Chaos Marine Warband could kick their shit in pretty good. Always thought the Gaunt's Ghosts stuff made a real good portrayal of elite Guard action without being too unbelievable. Barring a few moments, granted, but still.
And here is our psyker, feel free to remind me of crap I missed since sleep deprivation is kicking in. Expect the regiment to get more fluffed out when the muse hits again.

@Andromedai Never underestimate a psyker's capacity for being peculiar. And to be fair, psykers usually ARE the problem.

I can understand some variance in local skill and training since, well, for PDF it would vary a lot, but them all being too incompetent to defend themselves kind of begged the question as to WHY the existed then? And I can understand if some militia had issue, but the PDF were sometimes ex Guard, it didn't make sense for them to be shitty at their jobs. And you would think that they would be mighty, even at their PDF level, but GeeDubs disagrees in their infinite wisdom.
Stealth and the fact the cloaks impose a -30 BS penalty to anyone rolling to shoot them whenever they aren't moving? My Alpha Legionnaire in Black Crusade started with one and most cannon fodder enemies couldn't even hit him to watch their weapons not do jack against his power armor. It legit was stupid to watch the rolls just fail, over and over again.
And he can do psykering good, but not much else. The regiment was designed to be forward spotters in urban situations, and the equipment shows it, but doomed really shafts them and any PC coming from the regiment. No fate burning to avoid fatal wounds plus logistic penalties. So once I can get the PDF to save and upload, I'll share it. Or screenshot each page and upload it on imgur, whichever.
