They are a highly elite infantry unit favoring CC and defensive operations.
They come from Valrain’tal, which is a massive space station that houses the remanmit of the unit’s home world after it was destroyed by the Orks and Chaos. They have a high number of priests and Commissars in their unit to make sure they never fail in service to the Emperor and to the memory of their home world.
The Voltstan Corps 19th Regiment
Motto: Ashes to ashes, Death take it all
Chaos Undivided traitor guardsmen. Little armored transport, but supported with siege weapons. City fighters, terror experts and well trained in fighting in dangerous environments coming from an ash wastes Hive world.
I've been writing about an Imperial Guard regiment I made up called the Bastille Hive Smashers. Guys who are urban combat experts, trained in surveillance and dense industrial and city warfare specialists. Their home world Bastille is a massive hive complex of people that in my story is currently under siege by the Tyranids...
My long forgotten Regt. The 31st Irregulars. A rag tag bunch of misfits and malcontents that break the rules whenever they damn well please. A patch work of remenents of other armies that is pulled together by a strong willed Col. He has been known as The Duke. LOL... The fact that I have not fielded them in several years has me thinking that I need to bring them back to the fronts again.:read:
Name: Irysian 36th Mechanised "Crimson Caps"
Motto: "Let's save this planet so the Templars can blow it up later!"
Battlecry: "For the honor of Irys!"
Notable Details: Attached to Marshal Brant of the Black Templars to thank him for saving Irys from a splinter of Hive Fleet Kraken. Paint their hats red to identify each other.
Cadian 9th Mechanized Infantry Rgt (formerly cadian 9th light infantry rgt until merger with 62nd Steel Legion)
Cadian 112th Armoured Rgt
These two form the Taskforce "Iron Storm" which is basically good enough justification to play a mech army . Led by Lord General Antonius, who rides the leman russ "Hammer of Retribution" because he's a fearless bastard who leads men from the front instead of being a pussy and hiding in a bunker or leviathan, of which I had made a homebrew datasheet just for lulz. Must say I can't stop saying mehtal bawkses when I play the army
I am new to this but I'm making one and I'm thinking of calling it Fortis Bellatore's or Brave Warriors in Latin. Each of them are given a special Pair of tags, one reading their name rank and number, the other says "Reborn Unto Death"
Mine are the 31st Irregulars. Elements of all known guard units fill the ranks. These remenants are cobbled together to form the 31 Irregulars. Fits my collection well though I have a high presence of Tallarn Desert Raiders the core is still generic. Heavy infantry presence with some armor support. They have no home world to speak of and are always deployed and all seperate and abandoned/forgotted units are welcome to join. They are also known as the "Legionairs" as they have never served on any of their home worlds.
Deploying in a Valkyrie is the easiest way to get around on Pyka, a forge-world notable for the presence of the Apsida titan legion. The ash wastes are so thick that they bog down even super-heavy tracked and wheeled vehicles, walkers and flyers are among the only things that can get around. Almost all Pykan units are therefore airborne, with a few regiments raised going immediately to the Interior Watch, a non-Mechanicus PDF element parallel to the Skitarii of the forges.
Name: The Helghan Empire
regiment nick name: Visari's vanguard
allegiance: independent (they are evolved humans that hate humanity...therefore the imperium)
Motto: FOR HELGHAN! FOR THE EMPEROR!(Visari) shortly followed by the singing of Helghan forever.
I don't yet play IG but have been working on the backstory of my regiment. I hope to post it soon in the home brew. But for now:
Avoxian 501st. Thinking an elite, rapid-strike force for them.
