Line 1: Line 1:
The Trooper of the Imperial is nothing more than a man who is in the service of the Almighty Emperor. Your basic Trooper caries a Lasgun and a few frag gernades. Some Troopers will carry a flame thrower, grenade luancher and a few special troopers will be lucky enough to carry a Plasma gun or a meltagun(Cooker). Though other Trooper would not think it so luckly to carrie such dangerouse weaponsSome troopers will be paired together to form special weapons squads know as 'eavy(Heavy)Weapons Teams. These 'eavy Weapons Teams are normaly made up of 6 Troopers with 3 weapons of either Heavy Bolters, Autocannons, Lascannons, Rocket Launchers, or Mortars.

'''Trooper''' (sometimes called a '''Private''' or other equivalent) is the generic term for the lowest enlisted rank in the Imperial Guard (only [[Conscripts]], or [[Whiteshields]], are lower), no matter their speciality (including [[Drop Troops]]). Troopers are typically equipped with [[Imperial Body Armor|flak armor]], a [[Lasweapons|lasgun]] or [[Imperial Slugthrowers|autogun]], a bayonet, [[Imperial Survival Gear|various survival gear]], and a few other pieces of equipment, all of varying [[Guard Uniforms and Equipment|design]] (old campaigners will have been provided many pickings from which to choose all of their gear, but new recruits and veterans alike are limited in their choices by the local manufacturing abilities of their warzone).  Specialist troopers are typically equipped with [[Plasma Weapons|plasmagun]]s, [[Flamethrowers|flamer]]s, [[Melta Weapons|meltagun]]s, or [[grenade launcher]]s; heavy-weapon crews typically tote around [[Bolt Weapons|heavy bolter]]s, [[missile launcher]]s, [[Lasweapons|lascannon]]s, [[mortar]]s, or [[Imperial Slugthrowers|autocannon]]s, although [[Imperial Slugthrowers|heavy stubber]]s are also not uncommon.  Again, equipment preferences vary from regiment to regiment and also depend on local manufacturing capabilities.
  
Of course a Trooper of the Imperail Guard will spend a long time in the services of the Almight Emperor. Sometimes it can be as short as 10 to 20 years but mostly all Troopers will spend their entire life fighing battles in one war zone or another in the name of the Almighty Emperor. Though these long years of fighting for the Almighty Emperor, will killed off many Troopes until there is only a hand few of them left and these hand few of Troopers take the title of Hardened Veterans. These Hardened Vets know all the tricks of the trade of killing enamy of the Imperial, so they are hard to kill and the only thing that kill these Hardened Vets is either bad luck, bad timing, or being betrayed by there fellow Imperail Guardsmen or a combination of all three.

'''Troopers''' have few personal rights as soldiers of the [[Imperium]], although like the regiments in which they serve, they can eventually (provided they fight long enough and in the right warzones) retire or even earn the [[Right of Settlement]].
 
 
The Imperail is very wide with untold millions of worlds and on these untold milions of worlds are untold billions of souls. Becouse of this every Imperail Guard Army is different in how they train and how they fight. Such differences of army is having large amounts of conscripts to being fully mechozined army to having alot of Hardened Vets(for futher details please check out the Imperail Guard codex).

Trooper (sometimes called a Private or other equivalent) is the generic term for the lowest enlisted rank in the Imperial Guard (only Conscripts, or Whiteshields, are lower), no matter their speciality (including Drop Troops). Troopers are typically equipped with flak armor, a lasgun or autogun, a bayonet, various survival gear, and a few other pieces of equipment, all of varying design (old campaigners will have been provided many pickings from which to choose all of their gear, but new recruits and veterans alike are limited in their choices by the local manufacturing abilities of their warzone). Specialist troopers are typically equipped with plasmaguns, flamers, meltaguns, or grenade launchers; heavy-weapon crews typically tote around heavy bolters, missile launchers, lascannons, mortars, or autocannons, although heavy stubbers are also not uncommon. Again, equipment preferences vary from regiment to regiment and also depend on local manufacturing capabilities.

Troopers have few personal rights as soldiers of the Imperium, although like the regiments in which they serve, they can eventually (provided they fight long enough and in the right warzones) retire or even earn the Right of Settlement.
