Roane Deepers

The Roane Deepers are an Imperial Guard recruited from the planet Roane. They have fought alongside the Tanith First on several occasions, most notably in the defence of Vervunhive during the Sabbat Worlds crusade (Necroplois, by Dan Abnett).

The Deepers have a reputation for being lazy and somewhat lackadasical or laid back in their approach to warfare and training. Their reputation as a regiment is somewhat middling to say the least. However, they have proven themselves staunch and tenacious fighters when the las-bolts begin to fly. The regiment is rather poorly equipped - a result of being so far down the Munitorium list of supply priorities. A fact which no doubt explains the large number of expert "scroungers" amoung their ranks.

The Deepers are a light infantry regiment, much like the Ghosts themselves but without the same capacity for stealth. The suffered greatly in the defence of Vervunhive, where they fought in mustard drab fatigues and netted helmets.
