The Imperial Guard draw their recruits from all over the Imperium. That means that any given force can have troops from many different planets in it. We get a look at how these different regiments are different and play together in this preview for 40k.
From the article:
Imagine, if you will, the industrial efficiency and mechanised assaults of the Armageddon Steel Legion. Now combine that with the grim demeanour and unflinching sacrifice of the Death Korps of Krieg. What if you added the refined weapons of the Vostroyan Firstborn to the disciplined firing lines of the Mordian Iron Guard? Catachan strength paired with Attilan speed? Yes please.
These combos are a very real possibility in the new Codex: Astra Militarum – first available in the Cadia Stands Astra Militarum Army Set, which arrives for pre-order on the 12th of November.
Instead of constraining you to a single specific regiment, the new codex has you mix and match tactics to create your favourite flavour of Guardsmen. All you need to do is choose a pair of Regimental Doctrines to dictate how they fight. These doctrines represent traits like superior artillery skills, high-quality armour, impressive discipline amongst the ranks, or experience in guerilla warfare.
