* DragonAscendant: He takes control of the Imperial Guard's forces fighting on Axum after Marshal Doven and his command staff are captured/killed during Quinlan's offscreen raid on the Imperial central headquarters. [[spoiler:It winds up being a ShortLivedLeadership once Ishtara Ordane enters the picture in Episode 27 and decides Shadrick is unworthy to lead, instead assuming command over the Imperials herself while assigning command of the Imperial Guard's forces to the newly-resurrected Saint Lazarus.]]

One, there's no chance in hell the Republic are going to use Battle Droids due to the Clone Wars and as for the civilians... maybe. There are a ton of worlds that are not under the Republic's jurisdiction and the author has confirmed that human supremacist movements will be a great asset to the Imperium.


* GeneralFailure: [[spoiler:It is ''very'' hard to understate just how '''stupid''' and self-sabotaging his plan to wipe out the Imperial forces stationed at Axum to consolidate his own power is. The Imperial Remnants of the Xek-Tek Sector, to all practical purposes, ''can't replace their casualties'' due to being cut off from the wider Imperium; there are only so many civilian survivors to draft to replace Imperial military casualties, and once those survivors are drafted, that's it -- there's nobody else to recruit. In contrast, the Galactic Republic has an entire '''galaxy''' to recruit replacements from. They have armies of clone-soldiers that are mass-produced in the millions, they can manufacture battle-droids, and that's before they start militarizing the ''trillions upon trillions'' of civilians at their disposal. Macharion's plan to defeat an enemy that literally outnumbers the Imperial Remnants a trillion to one... was to make the odds against them ''worse''.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ThePurge: [[spoiler: Sets in motion a plan to conduct an Exterminatus upon Axum in order to wipe out all Imperial Guard authority that might challenge his ambitions, as well as weakening if not eliminating rival Imperial military polities like the Sisters of Battle and the Adeptus Mechanicus.]]

* MookDepletion: [[spoiler:The Second Battle for Axum does ''not'' go well for the Guard, with supplemental material clarifying that by chapter 36, multiple regiments have had a casualty rate in ''excess'' of '''95%'''. That's ''despite'' starting with both a numerical advantage and much more potent military technology than their Republic adversaries.]]

* TokenEvilTeammate: Alongside the Black Karminians, they are among the few Imperial Guard regiments who are explicitly described as "evil" by the author in contrast to the majority of the Imperial Guard. Their homeworld has a pureblood culture, they abuse and enslave if not outright exterminate Karkosans who are born as mutants (which consist of about 3/4's of all natural births due to a curse placed on their homeworld), and their training camps are deliberately designed to kill as many of the recruits as they can. The Untouchables have been conditioned all their lives to view themselves as monsters and ''brutally'' stripped of any mercy, compassion, or humanity they may have once had. All that remains is an instrument of self-deprecating death.

Added DiffLines:

* OutOfFocus: Compared to the Karkosan Untouchables, the Black Karminians receive a lot less focus despite having been introduced alongside the Karkosans in Episode 23 and having both their and the Karkosans' backstories laid out together by the author in the Episode 23 after talk. Part of this is likely due to the fact that the Black Karminians are armored regiments in a story that doesn't really feature any tank battles.
