Warhammer 40K Imperial Guard Ogryn

Imperial Guard Ogryn and his superior officer, reaching the second line of the front

"Ogryns make excellent bodyguards for they are loyal, determined, and extremely hard to kill. Among the officer cadres of Imperial Gaurd regimental commands, it is considered a great honour to have an oath-bound Ogryn bodyguard. Normally, Ogryns are such a valuable asset that they are formed into squads and used as shock troops or blocking detachments, but sometimes a high-ranking officer manages to requisition one for his own personal retinue. In the same way that officers sometimes have advisors from other arms of a crusade or Imperial force, an Ogryn can end up shadowing a captain, colonel, or general as they take a journey to the front to inspect the war. Imperial officers also take great pleasure in the intimidation factor that an Ogryn brings to any tactical briefing or even social engagement, the towering abhumans making everyone in the room painfully aware of their own insignificance. Rarer still are those instances where an Ogryn will form a bond of fellowship with a low-ranking officer or even regular guardsmen. The simple minds of these hulking abhumans can for reasons unknown become fixated upon a particular human, especially if that human shows them kindness (or just happens to be in the right place at the right time). Once an Ogryn connects with an Imperial soldier in this way, the bond becomes almost unbreakable. Reports from various warzones confirm that this has happened on several occasions, with charismatic and courageous junior officers acquiring for themselves the undying loyalty of one of the abhuman shock troopers."
