Indeed, just hearing tales of how the guard managed to lose millions of soldiers in meat grinders really is just annoying. I mean, an actually competent force would realise the futility of fighting meat grinders (especially against Orks or 'Nids) and instead just back off and use defesive tactics - as they should. But yeah, overall I like to think that 40K is in a dire need of some revamps. Like actually keeping track of how many SPHESS MAHREENS there are in the galaxy - 'cause a million isn't enough.
