[@Dannyrulx]vI don't think the regiment has conscripts... we are made entirely from guard regiments that survived Vernum... plus I'm pretty sure all the gears is standardized so no one will have 'shoddier' gear

I think conscripts are sort of always carried around, sorta like the 'whelp, we need extra cannon fodder, you, you, you and you are now guardsmen.' And yes, guard equiptment will be shoddier depending on what rank they are and what planet they come from; some backwater feral world isn't gonna have the same gear provided to their guard as the Cadians for example.
