Shame its Mars cultists and titam divisions that staff them, not the IG.

Seriously, IG get the crappest of jobs :/
True.....and one of those pics is a Choas Mars pattern titan, and the other is someones home made titan, BUUUT thats not the point, whos to say i cant join the IG and instantly get promoted to titan division as a support troop only to worm my way in to the cockpit of a titan?? of course, id have to get past all those trigger happy commisars
The Titan Legions use Skittari as support troops ;)
I don't think they'd accept a normal human as help unless it was cain himself :p

The Imperial Navy and IG are two seperate outfits.. they hate each other and very rarely get along.
In some cases they 'Accidentally' Drop a Lance Strike or Fusion Torpedo on an IG position. (But normally only if they have a fued or an excuse.)

Yeah, I'd probably try to get reassigned to the tank division as soon as possible. Not that the chances are better or anything, its just I'd rather be blown up in a tank than suffer the many other myriad really nasty and unpleasant deaths awaiting the unarmoured guardsman.
Actually, your almost guaranteed to burn alive in a tank.

I'd pray to god I'm in one of the defensive, unattacked bases.
Ehh, actually that's not the worst thing that could happen to you. I mean, I really, really, wouldn't want to be captured alive. I mean, best case scenario, you're fighting Eldar and they imprison you or give you a quick death. It gets gradually worse, Orcs would torture you for a bit before getting bored and killing you. Dark Eldar you'd probably end up as a slave -- pretty horrible. Tyranids, Chaos... burning to death in a tank is probably pretty kind compared to what those guys would do to you. I mean, in a tank, you might get to blow something up before getting fried by the retaliatory fire, and then its bang boom straight up to the Emperor amiright?

Although in retrospect, seeing as the tank division probably gets a lot of turnover seeing as its mobile armour, a defensive outpost on some backwater planet is probably the best option. Although isn't that where most of these invasions start?

Psssh. Best a lowly Guardsman can hope for is artillery loader.

To quote: "To each of us falls a task, and all the Emperor requires of us Guardsmen is that we stand the line, and we die fighting. It is what we do best: We die standing."

I'd do fine i have the education so I'd find myself a nice little job as a quatermaster and try to climb the ranks.
A grunt with brains and the knowledge of how get where they need to be is a dangerous thing if offices dont watchout

Try to be posted on a feral planet, get myself lost in the jungle and try to live out a life there.
Feral planet turns out to be Catachan and you get eaten by an ant.

Me? I'd shoot my commander mid battle and leg it back to the ships we'd land in, claiming to be wounded and helpless. They take me to the medical bay, the ship retreats after a wasteful loss. Repeat every battle until I get too old and can retire. Wait, can they retire?

Guardsman are the best, what you cant crush under the steel of tanks you can purge with cleansing Las-fire!

I'd be riding the Sentinels! I need to dust of my Guard and go to GW some day.

Apply to be a Liaison/Diplomat to the 'Sisters of Battle'.

As such I'd avoid warfare and be surrounded by an army of women. It could always be worse...
You mean, surrounded by an army of overzealous, angry battle nuns.. with guns - women?
I'm gonna go on a leap of faith and assume it won't be long before they "purge the heretic" in you.

..with flamers.

Lots of flamers.

I'd try my best to go AWOL without being discovered. Maybe go Chaos, or just try to disappear. If not, then try to survive till I can get a Baneblade/titan/something better.

Hope that you get sent to a hive world to quell a rebellious hive?
thats your best chance.. then just take a chimera under the guise of a crack commando unit and drive the other way when no one is looking... slip into a hive and disappear...

sounds like a plan :)

For me it would be either the Tau or the Tyranids just because I like aliens and hate humans.
Most likely Tau specifically because I love Kroot.


Hell yeah these guys over humans anyday, if you disagree I'll eat you.
Eat me

i'd survive longer than i would in battle. also i'm less afraid of the ant than i am of the mosquitos. filthy creatures they are

I pray to the emperor, possibly kill a few enemies if I'm lucky and then die? Then the emperor will come and reward me.... right?

If you don?t expect gratitude you?ll seldom be disappointed.

So yeah Bobbovski if you do not expect a reward from the emperor you will not be disappointed.

wow. I would be tanith and fight along with gaunts ghosts. Hell, he's a fair commissar too. HE wouldn't shoot you in the back like some others. Either them or the 597th. Ciaphs cain is beast, but not as much as gaunt. His group haxs the highest survival rate thus far.
I completely agree, I'd also try and make friends with Major Rawne so that he doesn't just randomly knife me while I slept.
