Winners of the coveted Imperial Guard Silliest Name contest for 400 years straight.
The Drookian Fenguard hail from the planet Drook VI. It's pretty much SCOTLAND IN SPESS. It is a Feral World of impenetrable mist, bogs and fens and as such it doesn't support a big population, the locals largely just barely surviving via raiding other clans. However living on such a world makes them natural experts for scouting, guerilla warfare and sabotage.
The Drookians are big on CLAN HONOR and all that jazz; as such regiments raised from the planet, about once a generation, all consist of members of a single clan. They are not big fans of outsiders telling them what (not) to do, not unlike the Catachans. Unlike the Catachans however the Commissars assigned to the regiments manage to motivate the troops by telling them that the enemy has wronged fellow clan members or insulted their ancestors' honor (which may or may not be true), which gets them to haul ass fast so they can kick the enemy's ass.

Victoria Lamb's Highland Moss Guard seem to have been made specifically to represent Drookian Fenguard-style regiments, right down to the kilts. Yes, KILTS!

I guess learning to paint tartan is the main challenge of this army.
