Those pictures are mainly just used to show the epic scale of the 40K universe and almost all of the are designed with the same "two-sides-charging-at-each-other" layout. They also always look like group photos where the people at the back seem more elevated than those at the front.Trillovinum said:
Also in terms of actual battles, mainly the reason is that the tanks are too precious to lose and by having the soldiers at the front it means they will get the bulk of the enemy fire while the tanks blast the bajeezus out of the enemies.
You also have to consider that in the 40K universe there are Orks, Tyranids and a lot of other melee dedicated units that will charge the enemy, and having tanks at the front won't be very beneficial at that moment, unless it's a walker like a Dreadnought or Wraithlord.
Why would you defend the reactionary feudal state of the Terran Empire? Either I'd work as a revolutionary within the Empire or join the Tau.

depending on what planet you live on however you may have a choice do join the Imperial Guard.... and no. I just have to hope im born in to the middle class and then have a good job in some sort of office
however id most likely be born into the trillions in the lower class and will likely die of industrial accident
Oh, by the Emperor, nooo... I don't know what they do to those poor boys to break them and turn them into those... Monsters, but I'd rather not it happen to me. And I think you've got to be fairly young, like in your teens, to be considered Spess Mehreen material. Any older, and the gene-tonics don't work, I believe. And it doesn't seem like a very fun life, sitting around in a monastery or killing things.
The only chapter I'd even consider would be the Space Wolves. At least they seem to be enjoying themselves.
No, it's the Imperial Navy all the way for me! The Emperor might rule all, but aboard the Götterdämerung, I am his second. Load the conscript catapult, ensigns! Shove more heretics into the boilers!
Or even better, one of those Rogue Traders. Working for noone but myself, selling illegal Tau farming equipment to Imperial peasants.
Oh, and one note on my dear old Imperial Guard; who do you think is winning the war whenever the Sphess Mehreens aren't around? There is only about one thousand marine chapters scattered throughout space, and most of those only have around one thousand battle brothers total, not discounting losses.
Space Marines are awesome, but they're pretty damn rare. If the Imperium's survival was entirely up to them with the IG just being there to fail and die, it'd probably be eaten within a week or so. They win alot of battles, but they can't possibly win all the battles.
