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. You'll see this reflected in both the faction's regular infantry guardsmen and its ogryn troops--ugly, brutish ogres who are deadly crack shots at range (and vicious melee warriors up close). Interestingly, both infantry types will be represented onscreen with randomized body parts. That is, no two units will look alike; some soldiers will have shoulder pads, eye patches, heavy helmets, and other accoutrements that will make them look less like a squad of clones and more like an actual army of soldiers). While these troops can be a real threat when amassed at an excellent vantage point, they suffer from morale problems, especially when confronted by huge, high-level enemy units.
