This might seem dumb at first but there's a very good reason for this. Remember that the scale of the 40k universe is fucking HUGE, and while [[Adeptus Astartes]] are the poster boys of the Warhamer 400000, they aren't exactly everywhere in the galaxy. Normal people in the 40k universe are more likely to see the [[Astra Militarum]] in action rather than one of the Emperor's Angels of Death, even if they happen to live in [[Ultramar]]. Not to mention that the Imperium at large goes out of its way to misinform or keep any kind of information about [[TTS \| Choas]] a secret from most of the masses, be it the average imperial citizen to conscripts and even the standard guardsman ([[Heresy \| with very good reason]]).

			More importantly, almost the exact same thing has already happened in older lore from the hallowed age of [[Warhammer 40,000 3rd Edition\|40k's Third Edition]]. The short story ''Liberation Day'' (by [[Matthew Farrer]] and [[Edward Rusk]]) from the ''Crucible of War'' anthology shows escaped human slaves on an [[Ork]]-controlled [[Space Hulk]] calling for help... and again being landed with the Sons of [[Perturabo]] which they, at first, confuse with the Emperor's Chosen. Only in this case, having butchered the greenskins, the Iron Warriors then proceed to turn most of the escaped humans into [[Chaos Spawn]] for [[lulz]], [[Grimdark\|leaving a few to be enslaved - which one Iron Warrior thinks of as such generosity on his part that he waxes all sentimental on how he looooooves "Liberation Day".]] ''Iron Within'', by comparison, is almost family-friendly.

[[Meme| It's more likely than you think]].

When the planet's Imperial Guard regiment (or more likely their local PDF) end up being saved by the Iron Warriors, they don't seem incredibly alarmed and in fact confuse them for your usual Loyalist Astartes. This might seem dumb at first but there's a very good reason for this, remember the scale of the 40k universe is fucking HUGE, and while Adeptus Astartes are the poster boys they aren't exactly everywhere in the galaxy. Normal people in the 40k universe are more likely to see the Astra Militarum in action rather than a one of the Emperor's Angels of Death.

To further drive home that the average Imperial citizen has no idea what a space marine looks like.
The early human settlers on the planet of Serenade, confused a bunch of Necrons (lead by Trazyn and Orikan) that protected their planet (which was secretly a Tomb World) from an Ork invasion for Space Marines and actually erected statues in their honor across Serenade.

This also allows us to have a darkly hilarious scene of a Guardsman doing the sign of the aquilla right in front of an Iron Warrior whose response is to just smack him on the face and walk away. This display of petty dickery really makes you wonder if the Marines Malevolent actually are a Traitor Legion Loyalist of the Iron Warriors.
