oh damn, schooled lol

i just see them on warhammer subreddits and shit with like “here are my death korps, they will never surrender but lay down their lives gladly for the emperor, the backstory of my company is they were betrayed in their last war by their cowardly moneygrubbing planetary commanders who made them retreat before the filthy orcs even though they were winning, and now they want to fight to restore the martial pride and honour of krieg, and secure the existence of their people and a future for krieg children, anyway here they are, i painted them in ‘field grey’ and theyre the 88th ‘free corps’ regiment, their logo is this cool symbol representing their home planets black sun”

another thing that nobody mentioned yet is that the imperium has the space marines who are the heavily-armoured genetically-modified superhuman special forces guys, and then the vaaaast majority of the army are the imperial guard who are mostly just conscripts with shitty guns who get sent in human wave style to die en masse

there are various themed imperial guard regiments that have distinctive uniforms and fighting styles of their planet. the most popular amongst warhammer nerds are the death korps of krieg, who resemble gas-masked wwi soldiers with a german-style helmet. purely coincidentally, they seem to be most commonly painted in feldgrau colour schemes

also they have r/iww in the sidebar and this is literally the preamble to the iww constitution so

i went with mint which may or may not have been a mistake, its all nice and easy now its installed, but after all the dual boot drama with bios vs uefi i ended up having to reinstall it five times because every time i tried to install the recommended nvidia drivers it locked up completely and refused to even boot, somehow the solution to my system refusing to boot was to switch my monitor cable from displayport to hdmi lol wtf

oh yeah well i just spent two full days and all my mental energy just to get babys first linux installed so suck on that elitists
