Inspired by Fantasy Flight Games' Deathwatch Role-playing Game's Space Marine Chapter Creation Tables, these tables let you roll up (or otherwise generate) your very own Imperial Guard Regiment. In the absence of any role-playing game featuring Imperial Guard regiments specifically, this table is more or less entirely for the purpose of generating fluff -- but with FFG's new game "Only War" coming out soon, we may get some crunchy tables, too!
Known problems: this page could use some cleaning up (divide it up with sections, perhaps?), maybe add some suggested fluff hooks to the various table entries? Also, I think many of the "friends" organizations (seen below) are duplicates -- Navigators, Astropaths, Adepta Astra Telepathica, and Scholastica Psykana seem to have some overlap, as do Chartist Captains and Rogue Trader Dynasty. Somebody check those out, OK?
