	The million worlds of the Imperium have been fractured between the thousand warring realms that now rule humanity, undoing all the Emperor had accomplished in the Great Crusade. Ironically, in this fractured state the galaxy is closer to what it truly is: a collection of diverse and terrible worlds with ecologies and cultures so utterly different from one another that they are irreconcilable. However, this lack of uniformity is the strength of an interstellar empire, as all manner of men and women are available to serve the Legiones Astartes as auxiliaries and vassals. From the hottest worlds and the coldest corners of the galaxy come the Realm Guard, the Knight Houses, and the mercenaries of Segmentum Tempestus.

	Preferring to fight up close and personal, the Knights of House Grendel are commonly equipped with Titan-sized lightning claws, and tend to employ volkite weapons or gatling cannons for their ranged capability, as well as a more esoteric weapon known as an Ionbuck - a close-quarters firearm that unleashes a spray of charge particles, frying the integral systems of its targets.

	==Avalon Manslayers==		==Avalon Manslayers==
	Avalon is a hot deathworld, its one massive continent is home to countless man-eating beasts, and the only safety for civilization is on the islands around it. However, despite all its ~~terros~~ the Continent is not feared by Man, who desire the hides and meats of exotic animals. Every years hunters travel to the Continent for a great hunt, their expeditions taking them as deep into the jungles and plains as provisions and courage can carry them. Many die in these expeditions, and many fail to catch their prey, but those that return with an animal's corpse on their backs earn the celebration that follows their homecoming. Those who survive are warriors, having mastered the skills of stealth and killing like no one else in the world. These hunters' skills, honed against violent and unpredictable beasts, are easily used on humans, and so it's from the hunters that the Crusader States draw Avalon's regiments.

	The Avalon Manslayers are an elite force of commandos whose expertise is in scouting and beast-slaying. Their skills as hunters translate into skills as warriors; their patience, their aim, and their cool heads let them kill men as easily as any beast.

	A force supported by the Forgespace in the Tempestus Gap. The Hermeticists are a specialized anti-Nurglite force. Where the NBC suits of the typical PDF or Guard regiment is bulky, restricts field of vision, makes it difficult to breathe, and chafes badly, the Hermeticists' 'iso-armor' makes use of some of the finest technology in the Forgespace to make it suitable for long-term wear. With its padding, lightweight alloy construction, wide-angle visor, fully sealed air supply, internal supply of liquid rations, and catheters, it is intended to be worn for weeks at a time without ever being taken off. Its sealant-resin layers even prevent small armor breaches from compromising the environmental integrity of the armor, and multiple layers of anti-corrosion coating protect the suit from Nurgle's many metallophages. In short, by almost totally isolating the wearer from the outside environment, the iso-armor removes Nurglite force's greatest advantage. It's not completely perfect, but it's the best you'll find short of Astartes.		A force supported by the Forgespace in the Tempestus Gap. The Hermeticists are a specialized anti-Nurglite force.

	In battle, the Hermeticists naturally use a fuckton of incendiary weapons. The flamer:lasgun ratio is higher than any other force in Forgespace, and hand flamers are the most common sidearm. Their doctrine emphasizes unrelenting, OCD thoroughness; no trace of Nurgle's diseases can be left. Massive formations of artillery and bombers saturate target areas with incendiaries and weaponized antibiotics. Then, vast sweeps of infantry and armor comb the ground, hunting down and pursuing any survivors of the initial bombardments. Once an area has been cleared of active enemy resistance (and it never goes as cleanly as the previous couple of sentences make it sound), engineering teams move in for the deep sterilization. Ground-penetrating microwave and UV arrays, super-heavy pyre tracks, millions upon millions of tons of sterilizing agents; once the Hermeticists are through with a region, it is often left entirely lifeless. This is acceptable; life can be re-introduced, but once Nurgle has his grip on a world, he never relinquishes it.		In battle, the Hermeticists naturally use a fuckton of incendiary weapons.

	Notably, none of the Oncolog Hermeticists are actually from Oncolog anymore. A reprisal raid by Second Sons forces, in retaliation for daring to set themselves against Nurgle, destroyed Oncolog entirely. However, by then the concept had proven itself; new regiments were raised on a hundred worlds throughout the Gap, collectively taking the name of Oncolog in remembrance.

	Knights of the Fortress ~~World~~, House Grendel originates from the border world of Demeter, where the once-fruitful soil is now burnt black and stained with soot, the sky coursing with the unnatural green fires of the planet's heretek foundries. Much like the Legion they serve under, the Knights of House Grendel are twisted mockeries of true Imperial purity, embedded with tumorous hearts of flowing, pulsing bio-steel. Flowing across and through the metal of their forms in great sinews, the blasphemous technology grants them unnatural fortitude, repairing damaged systems and absorbing nearby materials to fuel its functions, sloughing the armour from enemy constructs much as a hyena might slurp the flesh from the bones of its prey.

	It is a testament to the tenacity of mankind that, in all of ten thousand plus years of bloody warfare, so many still feel the need to rub shoulders with death and feel its breath upon their backs. A bustling Hive World on the lower precipice of the Storm Kingdom, Milanau produces one thing of use to anyone - warm bodies. Its remoteness makes supplies limited, and its lack of true industry makes employment scarce. Its teeming thongs of shuffling billions live in abject poverty, the great superhighways and criss-crossing narrows of the planet's Hives fraught with ganger violence and overflowing with all manner of severely illegal narcotics.

	For a great many Milanau youths, the only means of escape from the drudgery are the hyperlane races. High-octane, super-sonic sportsmanship, the sport is almost emblematic of Milanau itself, and possibly its sole glimmer of flamboyant pride. Technically ~~legal~~ but impossible to stamp out, the races tear across Milanau to the fevered roar of a planet enthralled, their participants somewhere halfway between fabled celebrities and truant gangers, most beginning their careers as highway bandits.

	While the hyperlanes are the sole distraction from the poverty of Milanau, they're not a way off the dead-end planet. To achieve that, a racer - being technically a lawbreaker - must surrender themselves to the planetary authorities and pray that they have the stuff to be punished through service rather than execution. These are Milanau's Burnouts - the stars of the racetrack, their reflexes and killer instincts honed by the death-play of supersonic racing, re-purposed as shock cavalry to be exported to one of many warzones throughout the Storm Kingdom and beyond. Their turbocycles fitted with dependable bolter technology, the Burnouts are flankers and outriders, trained to encircle their marks and pick off hard targets with heavy las-lances and hunter-killer missiles in daring blitzkrieg charges.

	There are some worlds, far from the light of Terra, where the lay of the land is so savage and unforgiving that humanity has had to change its very nature simply to survive. Hygelac is one of these worlds. Considering itself a subject of the Unyielding Vigil despite lying a hairsbreadth beyond its western border, the craggy forest world of Hygelac is littered with the ruins of its old masters - ancient gene-warlocks and tech-sorcerers of the Dark Age, their time now long passed. Plagued by torrential rains, howling winds, and a local wildlife adapted to the extremes of the planet, the people of Hygelac used the genetic sorcery of those ancient days to make themselves the apex predators of their hostile world.

Natural hunters, the soldiers of Hygelac superb guerilla warriors, able to brave any environment and confound their foes. Most prominently, the bloodlines of the old warrior castes retain a survival mechanism built into their very genome - in times of rampant adrenaline, they can surge free of their humans forms, growing muscle mass and tough, prickly fur at an astounding pace, their teeth and claws lengthening and becoming the equal of any blade. Possessed of a savage speed and strength, these feral abhumans make short work of their enemies in close quarters, rending man and xeno alike in twain.
