	Use of Chimera transports is generally reserved for the Marshalls themselves, with the convicts within regiments being forced to march en masse.

	Even among the elite Marshalls, there are those who stand head and shoulders above the rest. These are fitted with specialised [[Carapace ~~armor~~]] and filtration helmets (still topped with their signature wide-brimmed hats) and dubbed "Rangers". The Rangers are the most elite of the planet's forces, excelling in most forms of combat. They have taken to the phasing-out of the [[Hellgun]] (and its subsequent replacement with the Hotshot Lasgun) extremely well, utilising these new powerful weapons with their own sharpshooting nature and making short work of even the most heavily armoured foes. The [[Munitorum]] usually keeps a rather firm grip on these weapons being released beyond the rank and file [[Stormtrooper]] regiments, and one would think that their mildly soured relationship with Darmine would make this arrangement seem a further impossibility. However, the planet's strategic placement alongside the border of both the Tau Empire and the Farsight Enclaves means that they are likely the first response to any Tau-originated disturbance or invasion, forcing the Munitorum to reluctantly issue this high quality gear to Darmine's greatest marksmen.

	As with many unorthodox Imperial Guard forces (such as the [[Catachan Jungle Fighters]]), the [[Commissariat]] occasionally experience resistance when asserting their authority within a Marshall regiment. Often this simply means excuses being made to keep them away from the troops, many of them being composed of the most murderous scumbags in the galaxy that have gone on to win their freedom through fierce fighting under the only officers they trust and respect as being tougher and meaner than even themselves, and who don't take kindly to "fancy-dressed folk pokin' their pointy caps" in their business.

	Darmine is a Penal and Mining world.

	Its population is 16.5 billion, spread across the planet into dedicated mining communities and with an estimated further 30 billion convicts. Darmine's population are mostly the descendants of ex-criminals and are notorious for being tough as nails. They are extremely xenophobic to foreigners to their home planet (especially those from fortress or [[Hive World]]s), deeming them "city-folk". Despite its hellish climate and vast, unforgiving deserts, its populace often refer to it as "Darm" or "Good ol' Darm". It is a large planet, and despite its massive population settlements are often few and far between. Routes between cities can become unusable at any time due to sandstorms or incursions from local wildlife, forcing those brave enough to do caravan work to quickly develop a keen sense of direction. These sandstorms also make flying impractical, and vessels waiting to leave or arrive within the planet's atmosphere must have enough experience with the planet's weather to determine a reasonable take off or landing time. Many a shuttle has crashed on the planet's surface due to sand intake to the engine, a fact not quickly lost on the unfortunate souls who must ferry imported goods to the planet's surface.

	==Notable Regiments of Darmine Marshalls==		==Notable Regiments of Darmine Marshalls==

	5th Darmine Marshalls - The entire regiment wears black hats, the origination of their rather imaginative name of "The Blackhats". The majority of its membership are "reformed" cold-blooded serial killers and psychopaths. Even other regiments tend to avoid them. Any convicts that survive their treatment (as well as the enemies they would normally be fighting) often end up as bad as they are.		5th Darmine Marshalls - The entire regiment wears black hats, the origination of their rather imaginative name of "The Blackhats". The majority of its membership are "reformed" cold-blooded serial killers and psychopaths. Even other regiments tend to avoid them, resulting in a stigma about the "Black Fifth" among the other regiments. Any convicts that survive their treatment (as well as the enemies they would normally be fighting) often end up as bad as they are, with civilians brought in on menial charges ending up vicious war machines after years of killing and torment.

	10th Darmine Marshalls - With a high concentration of Rangers, the 10th is regarded with both respect and jealousy from the other regiments. They are ~~people~~ of little words, quietly disembarking from their Chimeras before eliminating a threat and then leaving the mop-up to their penal legion and Marshall support. Convicts who show particular promise in proving themselves useful are often drafted to this regiment, making them to be the next generation of Ranger hopefuls, with many hoping to get assigned to the regiment for the extra status and protection the title would earn them. This has been exploited numerous times by the 10th's command, who will often take a large amount of convicts before a major battle and use the ~~moral~~ boost to change the tide of the conflict.		10th Darmine Marshalls - With a high concentration of Rangers, the 10th is regarded with both respect and jealousy from the other regiments.

	17th Darmine Marshalls - The 17th is made up of the remnants of the destroyed 9th and 62nd regiments, which were devastated in their contributions in stamping out splinter fleets of Hive Fleet Behemoth. They are battle scarred veterans, renowned for their dark sense of humour.		17th Darmine Marshalls - The 17th is made up of the remnants of the destroyed 9th and 62nd regiments, which were devastated in their contributions in stamping out splinter fleets of Hive Fleet Behemoth. They are battle scarred veterans, renowned for their dark sense of humour. Many still harbour a hatred of "the throne-damned bugs", and it is said that due to their experience a veteran could tell you how to fillet a 'gaunt without burning yourself on its blood using a standard trench knife.

	27th Darmine Mounted Marshalls - A cavalry regiment, the 37th Mounted use hit-and-run tactics with quick use of pinpoint laspistol marksmanship to ruin the enemies' advance by harassing their flanks in a terrifying, synchronised manner. This regiment is one of the rare few to make no use of penal troops.		27th Darmine Mounted Marshalls - A cavalry regiment, the 37th Mounted use hit-and-run tactics with quick use of pinpoint laspistol marksmanship to ruin the enemies' advance by harassing their flanks in a terrifying synchronised manner. This regiment is one of the rare few to make no use of penal troops, instead picking out those with riding experience when they earn their freedom and testing to see if they are worthy enough to join their ranks. They employ mounts bred originally in the Equestrarium facilities on [[Ferdain]], generally employing a middle-of-the-road horse with high endurance and light sub-dermal armour implants as their stock genetic template.

	40th Darmine Artillery - The 40th utilise a supply line of chained convicts passing heavy munitions up the line up to the artillery vehicles the regiment fields, overseen by the Marshalls. The convicts operate on the hope that it is they that will be giving the orders one day.		40th Darmine Artillery - Those expecting safe treatment at the back of the fighting with an artillery regiment usually see the error of their thought process when they are being worked to death to save on transport and prometheum costs. The 40th utilise a supply line of chained convicts passing heavy munitions up the line up to the artillery vehicles the regiment fields, overseen by the Marshalls. While this is fairly commonplace within the artillery regiments, the 40th are notorious for working their charges to death on a consistent basis. The convicts operate on the hope that it is they that will be giving the orders one day.
