  Warhammer 40,000 - SCIFIPEDIA
Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop science fiction wargame set in a grim, dystopian future of eternal warfare.
The Imperium of Man in the 41st Millennium is beset from all sides by forces of Chaos, brutal Orks, enigmatic Eldar and the voracious Tyranid hive fleets.
The only forces standing between humanity and total annihilation are the soldiers of the Imperial Guard, the forces of the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy, and the elite chapters of the Space Marines.

While in the original game the Imperial Guard made a brief cameo fighting beside the Space Marines now they are a full fledged faction of their own, though they still serve under the same Emperor as the Space Marines.
While the Space Marines are elite, genetically modified soldiers bred for war the Imperial Guardsmen are the unaltered humans that represent the last line of defense against the enemies of the Emperor (think of them as the National Guard to the Marine Corps).
While the new units are mostly there to complement the existing units and not to change the game entirely, the Imperial Guard represented a serious threat to disrupting the balance that existing among the four original races.

None of the factions intend to share the planet, not even the imperial guard and the space marines, who've arrived with their own separate missions.
Many provinces will grant your faction's leader an honor guard, a military unit that will be ready for action as soon as you begin the next battle--as long as you have enough planetary requisition points to afford it.
One of the best-known Warhammer 40,000 species, the voracious Tyranids, are still nowhere to be found, but the relatively new Tau and Necron factions are each interesting and likable in their own right.

Now I am a big fan of the Imperial Guard, somehow they seem all the more heroic than the genetic supermen that are the Space Marines.
The book is the usually 48 page affair, Army list in the front with a colour section explaining how to paint, collect, and even play with the rather unwieldy formations of the Guard.
The army list gives you a nice rounded Imperial Guard force which is heavy on men and very light on tanks.

And in all of this, the Imperial Guard is a fighting force of simple men, conscripts and volunteers from their homeworlds, set against alien horrors to protect their home and people.
An army that relies heavily on special morale boosting units, and a large collection of heavily armored vehicles, the Imperial Guard is a wonderful force that can wield the mighty Baneblade, a massive tank capable of defeating whole armies in and of itself.
The new campaign mode that allows you to play the Imperial Guard is a near sight shorter than the campaign from the original game, but ultimately, is sufficient if brutal at teaching one how to wield the IG with proper efficiency.

Had the Imperial Guard been firing at the Tau, their weapons have no AP values, so for each wound inflicted, the Tau player can roll a die and for each roll of 4, 5, or 6, the wound is ignored thanks to the armor the Tau wear.

 GameSpy: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War -- Dark Crusade Preview
If there's one question lovers of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 love to debate, it's this: "Which race do you think are the 'good guys'?" That's a lot tougher than it initially appears because the Warhammer 40,000 universe is not a happy place.
The common consensus among Warhammer 40,000 fans is that it's the Tau, not the human race, who come closest to being the "good guys." The Tau are a multi-species conglomeration who have come together to work for the common good of all sentient life.
The Tau were described by the Relic demonstrator as a "shooty army." As a group, the Tau have superior technology, but their membership doesn't have the muscle to go up against the physical strength of a Space Marine or an Ork.

For those familiar with the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the decision to add the Imperial Guard to the game rather than fan favorites such as the hideous Tyranids or the velvet-gloved/iron-fisted Tau, must have caused a bit of head scratching.

The most obvious addition to the game is the all-new playable faction, the Imperial Guard, which, on the surface, may seem a bit mundane.
Instead, the Imperial Guard, also known as "the hammer of the emperor," focuses on attacking in numbers with powerful defensive bonuses.
The Imperial Guard will focus on a defensive style that heavily favors ranged combat--a style of play that, according to Relic, might be more beginner-friendly, and will definitely be highly complementary to the factions of the original game.

Not only can infantry units be garrisoned in pretty much all of the Imperial Guards' structures, but they can also quickly mobilize from building to building using the tunnels--this means they can arrive at "undefended" expansion points much faster than an unsuspecting enemy might think.
However, the Imperial Guards' pride and joy is the baneblade assault tank, a massive tank with multiple cannons and huge firepower.
However, with the exception of the sentinel, many of the Imperial Guards' vehicles aren't especially fast and can be defeated by swarms of enemies that get in close and repeatedly pummel them into oblivion.

The new faction is also somewhat more approachable, giving novices a chance to jump into the fast-paced gameplay.
And with additional units added to other factions, as well as skirmish and multiplayer modes, Winter Assault should provide enough novelty to please Warhammer veterans as well.

Each Army regardless of race has to have a basic requirement of a HQ choice to lead the army and two troop choices taken from the chosen army Codex and the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
The best choice to start any army is its Codex, which gives background details, statistics for your soldiers and the weapons and vehicles they are able to battle with.
A good addition to any army is a Tank or a unit of men with heavy weapons to take on the enemy's tanks, or maybe a unit of men on motorbikes or with Assault packs to improve the armies fast attack ability.
