I am sure that there is more then one Guard origin option, So if you dislike the Catachans for example, you should be able to convince your fellow players to choose another origin instead. Or even make a mixed regiment. Though I think that it is more fitting to start at least with a squad that are all from the same regiment. Naturally, after a few battles, the regiment will probably adopt guards from other regiments as losses add up.

I've already pretty much decided that if I run this game my group will be a penal legion.  Having my players put together their own "last chancers" is just too rich a vein to not mine it.  Especially considering some of my players.  If there's not an option for disseperate planets of origin, I'll just take one from one of the other lines, so I can be happy with whatever FFG decides to do. 

I was thinking the same thing, though mixed with a dash of Band of Brothers, and a dollop of A-Team

i was wondering if they were going to make you part of a vet squad thats been made up of remnants from decimated regiments or hand picked for the vets squad. as the sas are mixed regiment and service.

victory attained through violence is a victory indeed, but when the enemy turns on itself thats is the essence of true lasting victory kor phaeron, master of the faith

Well, actually, the SAS are their own regiments, being 22 Special Air Service Regiment (Regular Army), 21 Special Air Service Regiment (TA) and 23 Special Air Service Regiment (TA). Whilst they come from other regiments, they are all then given training so that, whilst they may have come from different origins, they all have the same general skills. They don't keep on acting like they did in their old regiments.

A 40k Penal Legion would be the best suggestion for a true "every soldier from a different regiment" game, in my opinion.

Commisars aren't necessarily from the same planet as the regiments they oversee. 

 

  
They never are. Commissars are taken from giagantic space orphanages, by the Commissarent and put under a Commissar untill the they earn a summery execution, a job as a Storm Trooper, or their BIG Commissar pants, after which they are put into armies, regaments, platoons,and or units not from there homeworld so they cant find anyone but the God Emperor to give to grox dungs about. Sorry for any mis speld words or gramarical errors im doing this from a PS3.   

Go to war? With a lasgun? What the f@ck am I guna kill with a flash light?!
