==Imperial Guard Regiments== <blockquote> ''“Stand true, you dogs of the Emperor! Steady that line!” {{BLAM}}'' :<small>-Commissar Ranmothe encouraging the 2nd Company, 4th Heavy Dragoons, at the Battle of Heresy Field</small> </blockquote> {| class="wikitable" |- !scope="col" style="width: 15%";"| Regiment Name !scope="col" style="width: 15%;"| Symbol !scope="col" style="width: 25%;"| Details !scope="col" style="width: 50px;"| Overview |- | '''Avalonian Crusaders''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''“The Crusaders”, “Saint’s Own”'' (9th Crusader Lancers), ''“Steelheads'' (327th Crusader Infantry)</small> |<small> 7 gold spears fanned behind a gold orb with the High Gothic letter "A" stamped on it, the regiment number in gold below, on a white field, with battle honours in red</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Shock Troops, Fast Attack *'''Strength:''' 1152 Regiments <small>(408 Infantry, 356 Heavy Infantry, 116 Mechanized Infantry, 41 Armoured, 19 Artillery, 212 Rough Rider)</small> *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The Seventh Battle of Avalonus, The Hellenine Rebellion, The Suppression of Babylum, The Liberation of Vallon Hive</small> | Hailing from the Sector Capital, the Crusaders are a powerful army of zealous troopers with a tremendous wealth of combat experience and a long regimental history. Typically heavily-armoured, and armed with a great deal of close combat experience thanks to Avalonus' unique planetary culture, the Crusaders are often used as linebreakers. The regiment favors Melta and Lascannon heavy weapons, and are well-equipped by the forges of Hive Gergenir. |- |- | '''Sagisu Legionnaires''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''“Back-Breakers”, “Hive-Pounders”'' (18th Legionnaire Artillery), ''“Big Shotz”'' (33rd Abhuman Legionnaires)</small> |<small>A skull wearing a gold helmet with red plume over a black saltire on red field, “Sagisu” scroll below the helmet with the regiment number in gold below</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Line Infantry, Siege Warfare *'''Strength:''' 847 Regiments <small>(395 Infantry, 46 Mechanized Infantry, 123 Artillery, 190 Siege Infantry, 93 Abhuman)</small> *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The First Battle of Avalonus, The Seven-Star War, The Battle of Sirusburg</small> |One of the oldest Guard regiments in the Sector, the Sagisu Legionnaires have marched beneath the banner of the Imperium since the days of the Great Crusade. Hailing from the overcrowded hiveworld of Sagisu, the Legionnaires have a roll of honor as long as the Avalonian Crusaders, and never fail to remind others of the history borne by their regiment. Their glory has been bought in blood, for millions of Legionnaires have been sacrificed in grinding wars of attrition, but so long as Sagisu births men it shall feed the wars of the Imperium. |- |- |'''Shimmerwelt Heavy Dragoons''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''“The Steady and True”, “Wobblies”'' (disparaging), ''“Glory Bees”'' (1st Heavy Dragoon) |<small>Flame-wreathed red stallion running on sky-blue field, regiment number underneath in red</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Counter-Insurgency Operations, Tunnel Warfare, Winter Warfare *'''Strength:''' 7 Regiments <small>(7 Mechanized Infantry)</small> *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The Battle of Heresy Field, Defence of Hill 53</small> |The Shimmerwelt Heavy Dragoons are newly-founded regiments, raised to feed the voracious appetite of the sector’s wars and crusades. The 4th Heavy Dragoons were recently destroyed during the '''Battle of Heresy Field''' on Uraniborg, after breaking in the face of the enemy's zealot engines. The Dragoons hail from a glacial mining world and are well-versed in tunnel fighting and putting down labour rebellions, with a preference for mounting Flamers on their [[Chimera Transport|Chimera]]s and [[Sentinel]]s. |- |- |'''Poseidon Sea Guard''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''“Seaguards”, “The Blues”, “Seadogs”'' (2nd Sea Guard), ''“Sea Dragons”'' (11th Sea Guard)</small> |<small>Crossed gold tridents on a white shield over a navy blue field, regiment number between the tridents in blue, with the symbolic seabird of the regiment's home hive crowning the shield holding a "Poseidon" scroll in its beak</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Amphibious Assault, Ocean Warfare *'''Strength:''' 35 Regiments <small>(29 Naval, 6 Drop Infantry)</small> *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>Invasion of Ghress Prime, Basilea's Fall, The Battle of Aschbal</small> |A rare example of a regiment specialized for ocean warfare, the Poseidon Sea Guard are often sent out of the sector to serve in distant crusades. The Sea Guard regiments return to their homeworld periodically for resupply and reinforcement, ensuring a constant churn of veterans who supply new recruits with much-needed experience. Heavy Bolters, Rocket Launchers, and Mortars provide man-portable heavy firepower when the Sea Guard operate beyond the range of naval ordnance. |- |- | '''Ixlamad Armoured''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''“Revenant Engines”'' (1st Armoured), ''“Ironsides”'' (3rd Armoured), ''“Twice Lucky”'' (14th Armoured)</small> |<small>Three red cogwheels bend sinister on a gray field, regiment number in the upper left in High Gothic, lower right in Techna-Lingua</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Armoured Warfare, Hostile Environment Operations *'''Strength:''' 28 Regiments *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The Seventh Battle of Avalonus, The Liberation of Gathalamor, The Villagus Tech-Suppression</small> | Raised from the wreck-strewn world of Ixlamad, the Ixlamad Armoured is equipped only with vehicles and weapons salvaged by the great pit-cities of their homeworld. Each regiment is a highly eclectic mix of vehicles built in uncounted forges scattered across the Segmentum, returned to duty by the devotion and skill of the Reclamator Magi. Many of their troops are augmented by the Mechanicus, and treat their war machines with as much devotion as any enginseer. |- |- | '''Ganth Eagle Warriors''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''"Screaming Loonies”'' (1st Regiment), ''“Headbangers”'' (2nd Regiment), ''“Bleeding Maniacs”'' (3rd Regiment), ''“Screechers”'' (disparaging)</small> |<small> The Aquila clutching thunderbolts and arrows, on a bright green field, “Ganth” in thick font above, regiment number in Low Gothic below</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Shock Troops *'''Strength:''' 3 Regiments <small>(Heavy Infantry)</small> *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The Liberation of Gathalamor, The Seventeen Battles of Novagrad, The Zarona Intervention</small> | Though little regarded by the rest of the sector, Ganth produces some of the fiercest warriors ever to fight beneath the banner of the Imperium. With an unshakeable faith in the Emperor, these brightly-colored warriors charge into battle like berserkers, wielding chainaxes and Flamers with all the zeal of a Redemptionist crusade. |- |- |'''Krydae Void Cataphracts''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''“Silent Death”''</small> |<small>Yellow roaring lionshead on a black circle on white bullseye on gray, “Krydae” scroll above circle, “Cataphracts” scroll below circle</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Void Assault *'''Strength:''' 1 Regiment *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The Hunt of the Scarlet Tears, The Battle of Green Noah</small> |Most void regiments are raised as Imperial Navy armsmen, but the Krydae Void Cataphracts are a rare exception. Their home system, the Krydae Field, is a maelstrom of broken worlds and trapped starlight, orbiting a black hole. Preferentially deployed in void assault operations, the Void Cataphracts have broken orbital fortresses, trapped xenos raiders, and taken heretic starships. Their favored special weapons are grenade launchers and meltas, useful within the confines of a void boarding action. |- |- |'''Rana-Tophe Stalkers''' <small>'''Nickname:''' ''“Scalpers”'' (disparaging), ''“Impalers”'' (2nd Stalkers), ''“Vengeful Reapers”'' (3rd Stalkers)</small> |<small>Crossed axes on yellow field with dark green flaunches, “Rana-Tophe” and regiment number on a black bar below</small> | *'''Specialization:''' Fast Attack, Detached Operations, Scouting *'''Strength:''' 5 Regiments <small>(4 Rough Rider, 1 Light Infantry)</small> *'''Famed Battles:''' <small>The Harrowing of Apostate Charles, The Battle of Sinfeld’s Vale, The Eredswar</small> |One of many feral regiments raised within the sector, the Rana-Tophe Stalkers achieved particular infamy for their actions during the Harrowing of Apostate Charles. Roving bands of heretical zealots would be found scalped and spiked among the canyons of Pillar, the victims of Stalker scouting forces protecting the flanks of the Imperial forces. Since then, their brutality and bloodlust have become a byword for unseemly excess within the Guard, their success in the name of the Emperor their only shield from rebuke. Each Stalker is skilled with throwing axe, as is the practice of their homeworld, and these axes often fetch a high price after battle for each is lovingly endowed with devotional scenes and prayers to the Emperor. |- |- | <small></small> |<small></small> | | |- |- |}
