'''Conscripts''' are usually people forced into military service by the state, and are used in an the [[Imperial Guard]] army. They are poorly armed and armoured and have had little training in war. They usually do not perform well in intense combat situations.

They are considered the lowest of the low. The nickname 'Gun-baby' is assigned to all conscripts by other troopers('''1'''). This is not always true however. The [[Whiteshields]] of [[Cadia]] are young men who show a good understanding of warfare, but are too young to join the normal military. They fight alongside the regular men and gain battle experience before entering military service('''2'''). They are well respected among guardsmen due to their proficiency with weapons and youthful determination.

==Armament==Conscript squads are made up of 10 men, but are formed from anywhere between 2 and 5 units of 10 men, so a full-strength platoon could contain up to 150 conscripts. Even though they are bad at their job, out of 150 shots, at least 1 should hit the target. They can also be armed with [[Grenade Launchers]] and [[Flamers]] as well as a [[Heavy Bolter]], [[Missile Launcher]] or [[Autocannon]]('''3''').
