As the [[Traitor Legions]] made their beeline for [[Terra]], the Loyalists sent out a call for anyone who could bear arms in defence of the [[Imperium]]. The Vostroyan officials declined, explaining that as an Industrial World, [[Vostroya]] would be more useful making weaponry for the Imperium than firing them. True or not, after the Traitors were routed, Vostroya was called to account for its actions. The planet was ultimately spared, and as a sign of repentance the Vostroyans swore to pledge their firstborn children to the Imperial Guard from then on.

Different regiments are kept with a steady flow of recruits due to the nature of the regiment's recruiting methods, thus their regiments have a tendency not to be completely destroyed and have enough veterans kicking around to show newbies the ropes before they are used as a toothpick by a [[Carnifex]] or something. It's also a tradition to serve in your family's particular regiment, i.e. you're likely to wind up in the same squad with your uncle, cousin, great-uncle or whoever. This serves multiple goals: first, you'll become part of the team faster; second - one is more likely to fight bravely and/or hold the line knowing not only his honor, but his family's would be screwed forever otherwise; third - most Vostroyan weapons are relics passed from one Guardsman to another, some of them since the time of Great Crusade, and being able to simply [[Grimdark|pick it up from your relative's cold hands]] simplifies the inheritance procedure greatly.

They like their moustaches. Their coming of age is sprouting a four foot long moustache and goatee combo, if male; if female, on your 16th birthday you take a deep breath and pop out breasts like a squeeze toy. Such is their affinity for the moustache that anyone with an aversion to body hair is treated as [[Extra heresy|the most traitorous of scum.]] Vostroyans will always squat rather than sit to keep the snow out of their britches (leading to some tech-priests suggesting that they can just leave seats out of Vostroyan vehicles to save on material). In their downtime, they drink a lot Kvass made from the piss of Vostroyan urban potato bears. They are known to dance into battle to the beat of an obscure techno-music that the Mechanicus dubs “hard-bass” like this: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiakVUKYCSQ]

Typically they all look like so: [https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/408/602/5d6.jpg]

Sadly GW no longer produce the minis but Wargames Atlantic's Les Grognards set is a cheap alternative if you're not scared of a little kitbashing, for more on them look here[[https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Wargames_Atlantic#External_Links|Wargames_Atlantic]]
