The Warhammer 40,000: Imperial Guard series collects novels and stories about the regular human soldiers of the Imperium, known as the Astra Militarum. Unlike Space Marine fiction, these books focus on mortal troops fighting against impossible odds. The series includes twenty entries by multiple authors, published between 2005 and 2019.
Aaron Dembski-Bowden contributed Cadian Blood (2009) to the series, a novel about a Cadian regiment fighting Chaos-corrupted forces. The series as a whole covers a wide range of Imperial Guard regiments and campaigns, from desert warfare to death worlds.
