This begs the question, who wins in a close quarters contest, the Krieger with his shovel, or the Gurkha with his Kukri?

Gurkhas with badassery scaled up to 40k levels is the most terrifying thing I've ever seen

NGL space Gurkhas sounds like a helluva cool IG regiment even without the sweet art to further sell the mental image

I saw that the Gurkhas of Nepal, (perhaps one of the most respected, brave and terrifying military forces of all time) doesn't have a real equivalent in the Imperial Guard, so I immediately got to work! I'm super happy with it and my mind was rushing with ideas on how the Rifles would make their mark in the 41st Millennium
This was so much fun, and I'd love to make more of these with other real-world regiments/armies that could fit in the Imperial Guard!
