The manpower of the Astra Militarum is predominantly human, though they do employ stable mutant strains, such as the giant Bullgryns. What the Imperial Guard lack in strength, courage and resilience, they make up in numbers, organisation and fighting vehicles-the Guard's wide range of tanks is rightly feared. A safe estimate is to say that there are millions of regiments. Across a galaxy of a hundred billion stars, there must be billions of Guardsmen at least-yet even the Departmento Munitorum on Terra, which oversees this immense force, has no real idea of how many troops there are at any one time. The Astra Militarum, commonly known as the Imperial Guard, is the primary fighting force of the Imperium of Man. They hold nothing less than the survival of humanity in their hands. Made up of innumerable billions of soldiers from a million different worlds, the Astra Militarum is, by sheer weight of numbers, the greatest army the galaxy has ever known. Though our tanks and artillery are mighty, it is the vast ranks of Imperial Guardsmen that shall trample the enemy to dust - let them come.
