Which Regiment will have the shiniest boots and win the voting?
Listing the best Imperial Guard Regiments of the 40k universe. Add items if you feel any are missing. Vote on your favorite Regiment/Commissar. Text and images from the awesome 40k Wiki
http://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-warhammer-40k-imperial-guard-regiment/designergamergeek,
Tallarn Desert Raiders 3rd Regiment, the Desert Tigers
Fought throughout the Macharian Crusade (392-399.M41) alongside the 4th and 5th Tallarn Regiments. Subsequently it was all but destroyed fighting under the command of the Imperial Warmaster Solon. On the planet of Kallastin the regiment took part in a hard but successful war against mutant human rebels, receiving a commendation from the Inquisition.
Terrax Guard
The Terrax Guard are the elite regiments of the Imperial Guard raised on the world of Terrax, the site of a major Schola Progenium facility, the Schola Excubitos. The Schola Progenium train many Imperial agents for war, most notably the elite Storm Troopers and Commissars, and their methods are rigorous and effective. The tithed regiments raised on Terrax have been trained under the auspices of the Schola Excubitos and are truly moulded in its image almost as an entire regiment of Commissars.
1212th Valhallan Regiment, Cold Bloods
The "Cold Bloods" were raised for service during the Eastlight Nebula Wars, but their first battle was among their last. With their supply and logistics lines overstretched, only one in every three Guardsmen in the 1212th were issued a Lasgun. Their first mission saw a forced-march across the frozen and toxic wastelands of Triox against a larger force of Traitors. Despite their survival skills, only half the Ice Warriors made it across the plains to assault the Traitors' flank. Once again displaying the sheer tenacity of the Ice Warriors, many of the Valhallan Guardsmen recovered weapons on the fallen and in the end decisively defeated the enemy forces.
31st Harakoni Regiment, the Helldivers
The 31st Harakoni Regiment, the "Helldivers," fought in the multi-military campaign against the various enemies of mankind during the Fall of Medusa V in 999.M41. They fought against Tau forces throughout the campaign on the Mining World of Medusa V.
12th Mordian Armoured Regiment
The Mordian 12th Armoured are a fine example of the customary discipline and rigourous drills of the Mordian Iron Guard. They are a regiment comprised of 15 companies, each consisting of 13 Leman Russ Battle Tanks, with the command tank in each company a rare variant of the mighty vehicle, such as a Leman Russ Vanquisher or Leman Russ Executioner. The crews of the 12th are trained to an exacting standard, and understand their roles and duties well enough to require only the most cursory supervision by their tank's commander. This, at least, is the theory. The Mordian 12th are untried and untested except in the mock battles of their training, fought through the cavernous holds of the troop transport Deliverance during the regiment's transit to the Calixis Sector. Recently moved from the reserves muster on Kalf to the eternally-dark battlegrounds of Nox on the Spinward Front, the 12th have yet to face more than a brief skirmish, against enemies wise enough to withdraw in the face of the brutal might of an Imperial armoured regiment. While each is a veteran of the constant conflicts on their homeworld, their skills as vehicle crew are still fresh from training, and have not yet been tempered by the realities of battle.
83rd Death Korps Infantry Regiment
The "inspirational founder" of the modern Death Korps, Krieg's 83rd Imperial Guard regiment was commanded by the legendary Colonel Jurten at the onset of the planet's civil war when he initiated the "Purging," the nuclear armageddon unleashed upon his homeworld that turned Krieg into a ravaged Death World, which later served to shape the character of its people forever.
9th Vostroyan Firstborn Regiment, the Old Irascibles
Earning their name the "Old Irascibles" through hundreds of battles, the vaunted 9th Vostroyan Regiment served for three and a half centuries during the late 41st Millennium. The 9th Vostroyan became one of the most veteran formations in the Segmentum Obscurus, before finally meeting their match on the world of Nimbosa. Around 790.M41, the 9th Vostroyan defended the Imperial world of Nimbosa against the Tau's effort to expand their burgeoning alien empire and annex the world. The Vostroyan regiment heroically sacrificed themselves to a man defending the factory city of Polia. Inspired by the Vostroyans' sacrifice, the populace refuse to submit to the Tau Empire. Reformed after their destruction on Nimbosa, the 9th Vostroyan once again met their ultimate fate during the Fall of Karak Prime in 998.M41. They held the hive city for 18 months against the brutal onslaught of a splinter fleet of Hive Fleet Moloch, valiantly facing a Tyranid swarm that stretched from the base of the city's walls to the distant horizon. With the onset of midwinter, and with the rapid depletion of ammunition and supplies, the 9th Vostroyan knew that they were doomed and vowed to sell their lives dearly. Only when the bulk of the Tyranid swarm had passed into the city did the regiment detonate its nucleonic stack, incinerating the hive, its defenders and an estimated 85% of the Tyranid swarm. With the coming of midwinter, the few surviving Tyranid organisms eventually starved to death and the splinter fleet was entirely defeated.
Armageddon 16th Steel Legion
In 776.M36 the 16th Armageddon Steel Legion Regiment put down a rebellion by a Chaos Cult on the world of Cassell called the Way of the Emperor's Flesh in less than 6 hours.
412th Cadian
The 412th Cadian is a regiment of the Imperial Guard's Cadian Shock Troops raised from the Fortress World of Cadia. The 412th is the Imperial Guard regiment that fought on the Ice World of Lorn V in Dawn of War: Winter Assault under the command of General Sturnn.
8th Cadian, the Lord Castellans Own
The soldiers of the Imperial Fortress World of Cadia form the Cadian Shock Troopers regiments of the Imperial Guard, famed throughout the Imperium for their skill and discipline.
The 8th Cadian is comprised of approximately 8,000 Guardsmen divided into roughly 24 companies, led personally by the Cadian Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed during the 13th Black Crusade.

![Worker Placement Tabletop Games]( "Worker Placement Tabletop Games")
More precisely referred to as "action drafting," the worker placement mechanic requires players to draft individual actions from a set that is available to all players. In a given round, drafting is done one at a time and in turn order until all players have had a chance to draft individual actions. There is usually a limit on the number of times a single action may be drafted each round. In truth, there are many who feel that 'action blocking' is a defining element of worker placement, but this is not always the case, as there is not always a limit on the number of times a single action may be drafted each round.

There are many games with what can only be described as the Traitor Mechanic. In some games, such as Mafia, treachery and deceit are central to the game; you are trying to discover each person's role, with not much else on top of that. In other games, it's more of a subtle feature, usually involving variable win conditions for each player or team, but with more traditional gameplay mechanics for the main duration of the game. In the following descriptions, I'll sketch out how the "traitor" mechanics work for each game versus how the whole game works. Hopefully learning these games can influence your future designs.
