Now the IG punish people for more then just being cowards. Here is a few of my favs.

Failure to salute an officer
Any soldier who fails to salute a passing officer or anyone of higher rank shall be flogged. (Art. IG 3678/47k)

Wrongs to soldier, redress of
Any soldier who thinks himself wronged by an officer and who tries to incite proceedings against them will be punished by a flogging from the officer in question, in front of the rest of the platoon. Officers are to be obeyed at all times, without question or reservation. (Art. IG 3680/26k)

Disobeying an order
Any soldier who disobeys an order from a superior officer will be shot. (Art. 9898/23t)

Inflicting self harm
Any soldier who inflicts injury upon himself to be excused from active duty shall be flogged, flayed then shot. (Art. 8098/25v)

Dark Forces and warp magic
Any soldier who, through his own will or no, becomes touched by the warp in any way and becomes impure and a danger to security, will be the beneficiary of the Emperor's Mercy (Art 5863/02a)

Heresy
Any soldier who speaks ill of the Emperor, the Imperium, cites his loyalty to any entity besides the Emperor, defaces holy artifacts or buildings, incites heretical thoughts or actions, talks openly about forbidden subjects and generally behaves in a manner disrespectful to all that is holy and good will have his extremities removed and left to bleed to death, for the Emperor's pleasure. The body will then be burned to ensure no taint remains. (Art 6741/09a)[/quote]


These are just a few of the many crimes... most ending with being shot...

the soldier in question would probably enjoy the punishment, up until the flaying part. yum.

It means they kill you and the Emperor will judge you soul...
