List of Astra Militarum Regiments

This is a list of official Imperial Guard regiments created by Games Workshop. It does not include any fan-created regiments, though it does include the Renegade Regiments of the Imperial Guard as well as those Imperial Guard Regiments considered Excommunicate Traitoris by the High Lords of Terra whether they serve the Dark Gods or not. This is not a complete list as not every Imperial Guard regiment in existence in the Imperium of Man is known.

Please Note: Fan-created regiments must be posted at the Warhammer 40k Fanon Wiki - Imperial Guard Regiments and not on this page.

All the men and women of the Last Chancers are hand-picked by the fiercely uncompromising Colonel Schaeffer for the performance of suicide missions on behalf of the Imperium of Mankind throughout the galaxy. The convicts are given a "last chance" by Schaeffer to be forgiven of their crimes in the eyes of the Emperor of Mankind and this is achieved by receiving an Imperial pardon from the Colonel. These pardons are awarded only to those members of the regiment who survive a number of military operations determined by Schaeffer. Colonel Schaeffer personally pardons all those who die during an operation posthumously.

13th/5th Imperial Army
The 13th/5th Imperial Army, also known as "Hylgar's Hellraisers," was an Imperial Army formation according to obscure but extensive records. Although recorded in Imperial records as an Imperial Guard regiment of the late 41st Millennium active between 975.M41 and 988.M41, many of its elements are in fact highly archaic and more reminiscent of an Imperial Army regiment of the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy periods. What is known is that its regimental name designates it as the 13th Imperial Army of the 5th Quadrant, and that it was commanded by Julius Hylgar, a senior member of the Administratum as well as the holder of several other Imperial titles, such as "Cardinal of Kolarne" and "Grand Marnier Militaris." This latter title was one used by the Administratus Militarium, the Administratum's martial branch (a possible antecedent of the current Departmento Munitorum).

13th/23rd Tiger Lizards
The 13th/23rd, also known as the "Tiger Lizards," was a regiment of the Imperial Guard. They were known to have fought against the Tyranids under the regimental command of Lieutenant Colonel Uskra, who commented on his regiment's ability to attack in perfect coordination.

17th/21st Tiger Lizards
The 17/21st, also known as the "Tiger Lizards," was an Imperial Army formation that existed as early as the 30th Millennium, possibly during the Unification Wars era. Their presence was recorded in the Codicium Arkathalor, a fragmentary record of the Imperial campaigns conducted in the Pandora Sector. The Tiger Lizards were recorded as one of at least two regiments made up of "split" formations, where two wholly individual, but badly mauled regiments were merged into one battle-effective fighting regiment (in this case they were merged with the 61st/320th Orenian).

24th Grenadiers
The 24th Grenadiers are an Imperial Guard regiment in the late 41st Millennium that also serves as the house guard of the Imperial nobleman, Lord Jerome A. Vicore.

The Tiger Lizards were recorded as one of at least two regiments made up of "split" formations, where two wholly individual, but badly mauled regiments were merged into one battle-effective fighting regiment (in this case they merged with the 17th/21st "Tiger Lizards").

85th Vendoland
The 85th Vendoland is an Imperial Guard regiment raised from the Imperial world of Vendoland, located in Sub-sector Aurelia during the events surrounding the invasion of a Tyranid splinter Hive Fleet and an incusion by the Forces of Chaos aimed at destroying the Blood Ravens Space Marine Chapter. The 85th is based on the sub-sector capital Hive World Meridian, where they often have to put down food riots. The 85th Vendoland is never seen deploying tanks in support of its units, but the men of the regiment are hardy and the 85th has many Storm Trooper companies, who assisted the Blood Ravens during the battles at Angel Gate and Typhon. The 85th Vendoland emphasises use of the bayonet in close-quaters fighting, and the troops of this regiment are equipped in much the same way as regiments of the Cadian Shock Troops.

87th Bluebloods
The 87th "Bluebloods" was an Imperial Guard regiment that faced an unfortunate end. Fighting under the command of Captain Anton Mossman, the Bluebloods were extinguished to a man in in 967.M38, when they fought against the Dark Eldar Kabal of the Flayed Skull led by the cruel female Archon Kruellagh. The only survivor was Captain Mossman, who later died at the hands of the Inquisition while undergoing questioning.

Aegina Prestige
The Aegina Prestige are the elite heavy infantry regiments of the Imperial Guard raised up from the Imperial world of Aegina, located in the Medina Corridor, in the Medina Sub-sector. The Prestige regiments appear resplendent in their armour of wire and carbon-diamond. These resolute and fearless Guardsmen are fiercely methodical, utilising Mortars and heavy weapons fire-teams to funnel the enemy into "murder lanes" in which they march towards the enemy laying down a fan of Lascannon fire that forces the foe to scatter into concentrated groups even easier to pick off. The Aegina Prestige are notable for utilising a small number of Guardsmen who lay down enough sustained fire to convince the enemy that there are actually a higher number of Imperial troops holding the lines.

Agripinaa Home Guard
The Agripinaa Home Guard are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Agripinaa. They recently sent three regiments, including the 2nd, 65th and 19th Home Guard to fight against the Forces of Chaos under the command of Abaddon the Despoiler during the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41.

Arcadian Regiments
The Arcadian Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Imperial Hive World of Arcadia. This world is the origin world of the Cult of the Spider; its arachnid symbol can often be seen tattooed on the faces of the Guardsmen that serve in its regiments. Due to its large population size, Arcadia has produced hundreds of regiments throughout the history of the Imperial Guard. Once an Arcadian regiment is disbanded or destroyed, a successor Arcadian regiment will often assume its number in order to keep alive the traditions and history of that regiment.

Archite Palatines
The Archite Palatines were an Imperial Army regiment that served during the Great Crusade in the late 30th and early 31st Millennia. The Palatines served with the 28th Expeditionary Fleet of the Emperor's Children Space Marine Legion, commanded by Primarch Fulgrim.

The Armageddon Ash Wastes Militia are specialist troops of the Imperial Guard regiments of the Hive World of Armageddon. They are specialists in fighting in the most inhospitable landscapes and conditions, such as the Mannheim Gap and the Blackfire Death Pits, as they did defending their world during the multiple Wars for Armageddon.

Armageddon Ork Hunters
The Armageddon Ork Hunters are a specialised unit of Imperial Guard soldiers formed in the wake of the Third War for Armageddon in 998.M41. They were created to conduct xenocidal campaigns throughout the equatorial jungles of the Hive World of Armageddon in an attempt to rid them of the Ork presence that had taken root there. Specialising in guerrilla tactics and jungle warfare, the Ork Hunters fight their feral enemy on their own terms, and have become extremely adept at their savage purpose. Their feral appearance and coarse manner has led to the Ork Hunters being regarded as little better than the Greenskin scum that they hunt and have earned them the enmity of many of the Imperial Guard regiments stationed on Armageddon.

Armageddon Steel Legion
The Armageddon Steel Legion are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that fight as mechanised infantry alongside Chimera armoured personnel carriers in defence of the strategically-located Imperial Hive World of Armageddon and its surrounding star systems. Armageddon, located in the Segmentum Solar, was a planet blighted and poisoned by millennia of heavy industrial output, though it was also a major manufacturing centre. In the late 41st Millennium, Armageddon became a constant battleground between the Imperial Guard's Steel Legion Regiments and the countless Ork hordes of the Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka.

Asgardian Rangers
The Asgardian Rangers are the elite cavalry-based regiments of the Imperial Guard that specialise in scouting, camouflage and infiltration. Hailing from the Feudal World of Asgard, the Asgardian Rangers are often viewed as primitive, almost feral, and the Rangers' feudal background does little to alter this perception. It has been observed that the Asgardian Rangers have many advantages in their use throughout a warzone above and beyond the Scouts of the Space Marines. When facing a tactical situation that is very fluid, the Asgardians take advantage by utilising the sheer speed of their biologically enhanced mounts, bred for generations by their world's contingent of Tech-priests. The mounts' incredible endurance and tenacity, coupled with their engineered resistance to wound and toxins, can carry the Rangers through the worst of enemy-held territory as they follow armies, staying out of the reach of opposing scouts and outriders

Athonian Tunnel Rats
The Athonian Tunnel Rats are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Athonos. This planet's governance is constantly vied for by a dozen rival noble families. The resultant gang warfare amongst their various supporters is brutal and unending, the violence spilling into the streets and sewers of the hydroponic gardens that cover much of Athonos. Such is the recruiting ground for the Athonian Tunnel Rats -- masters of urban combat and amongst the most determined of close-quarter fighters in the Imperial Guard.

Attilan Rough Riders
The Attilan Rough Riders are an Imperial Guard cavalry mounted regiment that hails from the Feral World of Attila. The Imperium recruits special cavalry mounted units known as Rough Riders.

Avellornian Gunners

They recently fought against the Forces of Chaos under the command of Abaddon the Despoiler during the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41.

Baldackian Fusiliers
The Baldackian Fusiliers are regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Imperial world of Baldack. The Fusiliers sent two regiments, including the 23rd and 26th Baldackian, in support of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade to help retake the Sabbat Worlds Sector located at the rimward edge of the Segmentum Pacificus from the heretical Forces of Chaos. These two regiments were destroyed during the Imperial campaign on the world of Parthenope in 767.M41. The ultimate fate of these annihilated Imperial forces was suppressed by the Inquisition for morale reasons.

They willingly followed Horus into rebellion during the Horus Heresy.

Cadian Shock Troops
The Cadian Shock Troops, also sometimes called Cadian Shock Troopers, are the highly disciplined Imperial Guard soldiers conscripted in large numbers from the Fortress World of Cadia, which stands sentinel as the preeminent bastion of the Imperium of Man in the fight against the Emperor's ancient Archenemy, Chaos. Cadia is one world amongst many thousands in the Imperium of Man, and has an honoured and violent place in its history, for Cadia stands upon the edge of the Eye of Terror within the Segmentum Obscurus, within a narrow corridor of navigable space known as the Cadian Gate. As a result, for 10,000 standard years Cadia has endured the constant assaults of the Forces of Chaos from within the Eye and has remained unbowed and unconquered. This history of unending threat from the Archenemy has bred a world of warriors who are known to possess unsurpassed discipline and skill, and whose Imperial Guard regiments stand as examples to the rest of the Guard and Mankind.

Calderon Rifles
The Calderon Rifles are an Imperial Guard regiment that hails from the Imperial world of Caleron. This mixed-regiment is known to include a significant number of female Guardsmen in its ranks.

Caliban Jaegers
The Caliban Jaegers was an Imperial Army formation that existed during the time of the Great Crusade in the late 30th and early 31st Millennia. These regiments were raised upon the Death World of Caliban following the reunification of the Emperor of Mankind with His lost Primarch son Lion El'Jonson. The world of Caliban was transformed into a model Imperial world and mobilised for the galaxy-spanning crusade to reunite the disparate tribes of humanity into one unified Imperium of Man. The majority of the Caliban Jaegers were sent off-world to take part in the wider Great Crusade. A detachment that had been left to garrison Caliban was responsible for the pacification of rebellious elements that threaten the security of the planet.

Cantican Colonial
The Cantican Colonial, also known as the CantiCol, are regiments of the Imperial Guard raised up from the Imperial world of Cantica, located in the Medina Corridor, in the Medina Sub-sector. Cantica was the defensive buttress of the Medina Corridor. Although a little-known regiment, the CantiCol were the Medina Corridor's primary troop formation. According to an Imperial census, 400,000 Guardsmen were garrisoned thinly across the Medina System alongside indigenous Planetary Defence Force elements. The CantiCol regiments had been raised in the 35th Millennium from the Cantican Loyalists of the Reclamation Wars. They had been one of the few warring dust tribes to aid the Imperium during the Reclamation and were thus the only regiment granted the right to defend the entire region. As a poorly equipped regiment, the CantiCol Guardsmen learned to compensate for equipment shortfalls. The Canticans did not possess many armoured vehicles, but the Cantican infantry squadrons were able to power safely across the battlefield in mostly ancient, obsolete tanks known as Siegfried Siege Tanks and Centaurs. The Siegefried tank was a modified variant of the Land Crawler utility vehicle commonly found by the billions all over the Imperium, while the Centaur is a small armoured utility vehicle of the Imperial Guard that is used in a wide variety of battlefield roles. The Canticans were also known to utilise elite Rough Rider mounted cavalry squadrons known as Cantican Horse Cavalry. Also called the Cantican Lancers, these Rough Riders were considered fighting men of no small repute. Much like the Kasrkin of Cadia or the Commandos of Kurass, the Lancers were an elite formation whose membership was limited and highly selective. As a poorly equipped force, Cantican Guardsmen were defined by the quality of their men rather than the superiority of their wargear, and the Lancers represented the apogee of this philosophy. Candidates could be drawn from any unit within the Cantican Colonial Regiments and thus selection was egalitarian in a rough, though uncompromising way. The Cantican Lancers are considered a hard bunch and the rank-and-file of the company, not the officers, decided who was permitted to wear the Lancer pin. The regular Cantican Guardsmen lacked the heavy armour prevalent amongst other Imperial Guard formations, and the Lancers bridged the gap between infantry and vehicle. While the primary role of the Cantican light horse was to escort the few precious tanks in the Cantican arsenal as mounted infantry, the Lancers were utilised as shock troops. Wearing chest bandoleers clustered with Fuse Bombs, the Lancers would charge upon their destriers headlong into enemy formations, leaving a trail of explosive Fuse Bombs in their wake.

Carnelian Light Foot
The Carnelian Light Foot are regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Imperial world of Carnelia. The Carnelian Lightfoot sent four regiments, including the 82nd, 88th, 97th and 101st, in support of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, a massive Imperial Crusade fought over the course of more than 23 standard years between 755.M41 and 778.M41, to help retake the Sabbat Worlds Sector located at the rimward edge of the Segmentum Pacificus from the heretical Forces of Chaos.

Catachan Jungle Fighters
The Catachan Jungle Fighters are the elite regiments of Imperial Guard that are recruited from the jungle Death World of Catachan. They have the well-deserved reputation of being the deadliest practitioners of jungle warfare in the galaxy. Their homeworld of Catachan is a place where natural selection ensures only the most deadly flora and fauna survive. Extremely resourceful and uncompromising warriors, the natives of Catachan recruited into the Imperial Guard are deadly melee fighters with their specialised close combat blades or ambush tactics with their Lascarbines. In jungle terrain they are unsurpassed by nearly any other mortal soldiers in the Imperium, with each Catachan Fighter being worth ten soldiers from any other regiment.

Chenovian Regiments
The Chenovian Regiments are regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Imperial world of Chenovia.

Krieg was the site of a rebellion against the Imperium of Man over 1,500 standard years ago in the 40th Millennium and was bombarded with nuclear weapons followed by five hundred years of grinding warfare to purge the heretical rebels. After all those years of nuclear destruction and bitter trench warfare, Krieg was reduced to a scorched, radioactive husk of a world composed of dust and mud whose surviving people were forced to retreat into underground hive cities to survive the toxic planetary environment. The Death Korps of Krieg is a siege specialist regiment of the Imperial Guard and the regiments raised on Krieg seek to repent for their former treachery against the Imperium by displaying a disturbing disregard for their own lives in combat. Death Korps troops excel at wars of attrition and the defence of static strongpoints.

This campaign successfully brought nearly 1,000 new worlds into the Imperium.

Drookian Fenguard
The Drookian Fenguard are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Imperial world of Drook VI, a harsh, bog-covered and perpetually mist-shrouded swamp planet located in the far north of the Segmentum Obscurus. These unorthodox regiments are notable for their abilities in scouting, stealth and infiltration and quick, deadly assaults.

Elitor Regiments
The Elitor Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Imperial world of Elitor.

Elysian Drop Troops
The Elysian Drop Troops are the airborne assault infantry regiments of the Imperial Guard who are recruited from the verdant world of Elysia in the Segmentum Solar, 30 light years from the Hive World of Armageddon. Rare within the Imperial Guard as a whole, Drop Infantry regiments like the Elysians are a potent strategic asset which many Generals are eager to obtain, and Elysia produces a considerable quantity of such regiments, whose skills are employed across the galaxy. The Elysian Drop Troop Regiments make extensive use of aircraft and elite soldiers plunging from the skies directly into battle. These regiments' true advantage lies in their speed, unpredictability and the unrivalled ability to attack anywhere on the battlefield, at any time.

Farset Lancers
The Farset Lancers are the regiments of the Imperial Guard raised from the Imperial world of Farset. The 41st Farset Lancers were sent in support of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, a massive Imperial Crusade fought over the course of more than 23 standard years between 755.M41 and 778.M41, to help retake the Sabbat Worlds Sector located at the rimward edge of the Segmentum Pacificus from the heretical [[Forces of Chaos].

Notable units included the Fellesian 5th Airborne Auxiliary ("Hurgan's Scrappers") and the Fellesian 23rd Airborne Auxiliary ("Goldstone's Hunters").

Finreht Highlanders
The Finreht Highlanders are the regiments of the Imperial Guard raised from the savage and mountainous world of Finreht Three-Seven, located in the Agripinaa Sector in the Segmentum Obscurus. The feral troops of these regiments are known to wear their traditional quilted armour along with various primitive fetishes. These Guardsmen are also known to bear many tattoos which denote their tribe and tribal caste. The 37th Finreht Highlanders Regiment recently took part in the defence of Cadia and its surrounding systems from the Forces of Chaos, commanded by Abaddon the Despoiler, during his 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41.

Geno Five-Two Chiliad
The Geno Five-Two Chiliad was a venerable Imperial Army regiment composed of the genetically-engineered troops known as Genos who had fought for the Emperor during the Unification Wars on Terra as part of the "Old Hundred." These were the Strife Epoch regiments that the Emperor, in His grace, had maintained in existence after the completion of the Unification, provided that they had pledged their loyalty to Him. Many thousands of other Geno units had been forced to disband after the achievement of Unity, or had been actively purged and chemically neutered, depending on their level of resistance to the new order brought by the unification of Terra under the Emperor's new planetary government. The Five-Two Chiliad fought in multiple Imperial campaigns of both conquest and Imperial Compliance such as against the Orks on Foechion and the Dragonoid Cadres on Zantium. They also served with the 670th Expeditionary Fleet, under the command of Lord Commander Teng Namitjira, during the Imperial Compliance action on Nurth, fighting alongside the Astartes of the Alpha Legion.

Geno Seven-Six Spartocid
The Geno Seven-Six Spartocid was a venerable Imperial Army regiment composed of genetically-engineered troops known as Genos who had fought for the Emperor during the Unification Wars as part of the "Old Hundred." These were the Strife Epoch regiments that the Emperor, in His grace, had maintained in existence after the completion of the Unification, provided that they had pledged their loyalty to Him. Many thousands of other Geno units had been forced to disband after the achievement of Unity, or had been actively purged and chemically neutered, depending on their level of resistance to the new order brought by the unification of Terra under the Emperor's new planetary government. The Geno Seven-Six Spartocid had a long and illustrious history, fighting against the Abhumans on Dycenae. They served under the Alpha Legion Space Marine Legion and were converted by them to the cause of the Chaos-corrupted Warmaster Horus.

Gryphonne IV Regiments
The Gryphonne IV Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Imperial Forge World of Gryphonne IV, located in the Shiola Sub-sector of the Segmentum Tempestus' Alduin Sector. This was also the homeworld of the Titan Legio Gryphonicus and some of the fiercest and most skilled Skitarii Legions in the galaxy. The soldiers of the Gryphonne Regiments were bionically augmented by the Adeptus Mechanicus, enabling them to fight in hostile environments. Unfortunately, disaster befell Gryphonne IV, when it was attacked and consumed by the Tyranid Hive Fleet Leviathan soon after its emergence into the galaxy in 997.M41, severely disrupting Imperial industry and supply in that part of the galaxy. Both the Gryphonne IV Regiments and the Titans of Legio Gryphonicus were utterly annihilated.

Gudrunite Rifles
The Gudrunite Rifles are regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Imperial world of Gudrun.

The renowned armoured siege units of the IV Hammeront Regiment, under command of Grand Marshal Lourgant, were wiped out during the Fallaxian Scourging in 927.M41, when an army of daemons overwhelmed the Imperium's forces. Such was the delay in transmitting information and updating the Administratum's records that news of their demise failed to reach the Departmento Munitorum and Grand Marshal Lourgant was ordered to lead the liberation of the Abraxis Citadel on Prassium in 929.M41. Two years later, the Departmento Munitorum charged the IV Hammeront Regiment with desertion and, along with their commander, they were all posthumously sentenced to death.

Harakoni Warhawks
The Harakoni Warhawks are elite airborne regiments of the Imperial Guard raised up from the Imperial world of Harakon, a low-gravity planet with impossibly tall hive cities. The Harakoni use grav-gliders to hunt vapourwyrms in the valleys below their hives. This makes them fearless at high altitudes and natural experts at judging air currents. Their specialised abilities have found a home in the Imperial Guard where regiments drawn from Harakon act as elite Drop Troops. Their generations-old adaptation to adverse gravity levels leaves the Harakoni Warhawks‎ predisposed to excel at Grav-Chute drops into planetary combat zones from orbit. This style of combat also increases the Warhawks' use of elite Storm Troopers Squads and small-unit tactics over those preferred by standard line troopers of the Imperial Guard. The Harakoni wear Carapace Armour as standard, use rebreathers during a planetary drop to breathe in the ultra-thin atmosphere at high altitudes, and use folding stock Las-Carbines or kinetic Autogun as their primary weapons. Many an Imperial General or Warmaster owes their decorations to the bravery and experience of the regiments drawn from amongst the Harakoni Warhawks.

Hasdrubel Regiments
The Hasdrubel Regiments are regiments of the Imperial Guard raised from the Imperial world of Hasdrubel. The Hasdrubel 5th Regiment fought against the Forces of Chaos in the Bastion Wars that encompassed the regions of space known as the Bastion Stars and the Shoal Clusters all the way to the worlds of the Medina Corridor.

Hesperan Lancers
The Hesperan Lancers regiments were an Imperial Army formation that existed during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras during the mid-30th and early 31st Millennia. The 15th Hesperan Lancers served with the 63rd Expeditionary Fleet of the Luna Wolves Space Marine Legion, commanded by none other than the Warmaster Horus. When the Chaos-corrupted Horus turned from the light of the Emperor, the 15th Hesperan Lancers willingly followed their lord into rebellion and treachery. Representatives of this regiment were present on the Forge World of Diamat following the events of the Istvaan III Atrocity to help negotiate the transfer of Mechanicum Centurio Ordinatus siege weapons to Horus' forces.

Hyrkan Regiments
The Hyrkan Regiments are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Imperial world of Hyrkan. Both the 6th and the 8th Hyrkan Regiments were sent in support of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, a massive Imperial Crusade fought over the course of more than 23 standard years between 755.M41 and 778.M41, to help retake the Sabbat Worlds Sector located at the rimward edge of the Segmentum Pacificus from the heretical Forces of Chaos.

Iorgan Regiments
The Iorgan Regiments are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Imperial world of Hyrkan. The 500th Iorgan, known as "The Golden Caps," were sent in support of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, a massive Imperial Crusade fought over the course of more than 23 standard years between 755.M41 and 778.M41, to help retake the Sabbat Worlds Sector located at the rimward edge of the Segmentum Pacificus from the heretical Forces of Chaos.

The Jaggedpanzor fought alongside the G9K Division Kill Imperial Army regiment against the technologically advanced and cybernetically-enhanced humans of the Olamic Quietude.

Jantine Patricians
The Jantine Patricians are the Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Imperial world of Jant Normanidus. They are unique amongst the Imperial Guard, as both their officers and enlisted Guardsmen are graduates of a prestigious military academy on their homeworld. Their superior training gives the Jantine great pride in their martial abilities, but tends to make them look down upon other "less-superior" Imperial Guard regiments. The Patricians were known to have a long-standing feud with the Tanith First and Only, because the Tanith 1st's regimental Commissar Ibram Gaunt had executed the Jantine Patricians' commander, General Aldo Dercius, for cowardice in the face of the enemy. This execution of one of their own was a black mark on the regiment's record. The Jantine Patricians were sent in support of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, a massive Imperial Crusade fought over the course of more than 23 standard years between 755.M41 and 778.M41, to help retake the Sabbat Worlds Sector located at the rimward edge of the Segmentum Pacificus from the heretical Forces of Chaos. Due to heretical actions undertaken by the Patricians during the Crusade in an attempt to wipe out Commissar Gaunt's regiment and reclaim what they saw as their besmirched honour, all records of the Patrician's honours and victories were subsequently destroyed on the orders of the Inquisition and the regiment was never reformed.

Jopall Indentured Squadrons
The Jopall Indentured Squadrons are Imperial Guard regiments that hail from the once-peaceful Agri-World of Jopall. On their homeworld, the Jopall owe their planetary government money as soon as they are born. Taking up valuable resources throughout their childhood, they incur a debt that they cannot repay until adolescence. Most citizens of Jopall spend the majority of their adult lives working off the debts they incur during the first part of their lives. There are ways around this punishing system, however; the citizen can either borrow money from their local lord, or they can work off the debt to the government by joining the Jopall Indentured Squadrons. This system explains why the Jopall are never short of recruits for their Imperial Guard regiments. The Jopall Indentured Squadrons are known equally well across the galaxy for both their fine marksmanship and their intense greed. The question of recompense is often raised by the officers of the Indentured Squadrons, and every life they take is tallied somewhere around the soldier's person, to be raised at a later date with the planetary government in pursuit of payment of their debts.

Jouran Dragoons
The Jouran Dragoons are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Civilised World of Jouran. They are notable for possessing a large number of mechanised infantry. The Jouran Dragoons prefer to ride into battle in armoured transports such as the Chimera, and are often seen in the vanguard of Imperial armies supporting other Imperial Guard armoured regiments. Some of these associations stretch back over millennia and the Jourans have participated in the speartip of many great campaigns throughout the Imperium. After a salient has been created by the heavy tanks of their fellow armoured regiments, the Jouran Dragoons speed through the breach to quickly establish a foothold and disrupt the enemy's front lines.

Jumael Volunteers
The Jumael Volunteers are Imperial Guard regiments raised from conscripts taken from the mostly rural farming communities on the verdant Agri-World of Jumael IV. Poorly equipped compared to other regiments, the Jumael make do, wearing heavy vests of ballistic cloth with built-in pectoral protection and flexible shoulder reinforcement. The Jumael 1st Regiment, known as the "Lucky Aces," earned their moniker during the Tywia campaign. They were the only regiment out of three to survive a vicious Warp Storm en route to Tywia. The regiment took part in the retaking of the fortress known as the Ironhide, but in the midst of the battle, a freak earthquake breached its 200 foot high walls. Also during that battle, a lost patrol from the "Aces" came across the fabled Chambers of Gold hidden beneath the fortress.

Kado Regiments
The Kado Regiments are Imperial Guard regiments that are raised from the Imperial world of Kado. They Kado 11th Regiment is known to have taken part in the Third War for Armageddon in 998.M41 against the massive Ork WAAAGH! of Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. During the fighting, the 11th Kado utilised camouflaged uniforms to help blend into the harsh surroundings of the brutal landscape of the Armageddon Ash Wastes.

Kaledon Hunters
The Kaledon Hunters are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the complex clans of the Feral World of Kaledon. This world is invaluable in contributing several of the toughest, if least disciplined, regiments in the Imperium. Each regiment is drawn from a single clan and Kaledoni regiments inevitably fight all the harder to prove their superiority over a regiment from a rival clan.

Kallistan Rifles
The Kallistan Rifles are Imperial Guard regiments that were raised from the Imperial world of Kallistan. The 1st Kallistan Rifles is currently waging a devastating war of annihilation against the Pirates of Bo.

Kanak Skull-Takers
The Kanak Skull-Takers are Imperial Guard regiments that were raised from the volcano-wracked Feral World of Kanak, which is home to many fierce barbarian tribes. It is said that many of these tribes are closer to an Ogryn than a baseline human being. Their talent for slaughter quickly found its way into the Imperial Guard, where considerable tolerance for their feral tactics has been seen. Like many feral regiments, service in the Imperial Guard is intended to teach the savage Kanak Imperial ways, so that if they ever return to their homeworld, they will hopefully provide a civilising influence to the indigenous population.

Kantael Regiments
The Kantael Regiments are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Imperial world of Kantael. The Kantael Light Infantry regiment recently took part in the defence of Cadia and its surrounding systems from the Forces of Chaos, commanded by Abaddon the Despoiler, during his 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41.

Kronus Regiments
The Kronus Regiments are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Civilised World of Kronus, located in the Lithesh Sector of the Ultima Segmentum. This world only possesses one habitable continent, and so the Imperium abandoned the planet, which soon fell under the control of the emergent Tau Empire. Though it was now a largely peaceful Tau colony, that quickly changed with the arrival of General Lukas Alexander, who was in pursuit of the Eldar Farseer Taldeer, due to her previous activities on the Ice World of Lorn V. Soon multiple enemies of the Imperium arrived on Kronus for their own nefarious reasons, initiaing the campaign known as the Dark Crusade. Informing the Segmentum High Command of the dire situation, Lukas Alexander was promoted to Governor Militant of Kronus. He then raised the newly-dubbed 1st Kronus Regiment on the spot from the Imperial forces under his command.

Kroshin Grenadiers
The Kroshin Grenadiers are Imperial Guard regiments raised up from the volcanic Death World of Kroshin. Founded sometime before the 39th Millennium, the Kroshin Grenadiers are composed of some of the strongest, most battle-hardened veterans known throughout the Imperium. Growing up on such an inhospitable world, these Guardsmen are already hardened warriors before they even leave their homeworld on their first campaign. The Kroshin Grenadiers receive some of the best training, wargear and equipment, thanks in no small part to the generosity of the unusually high ratio of wealthy Kroshin civilians. The Kroshin Regiments consist primarily of Storm Troopers and a high proportion of mechanised companies. The Kroshin Grenadiers deployed to the Imperial Mining World of Medusa V in the Ultima Segmentum during the multi-sided military conflict known as the Fall of Medusa V. Before it was devoured by a massive Warp Storm, this world became the center of a large military conflict between eight of the Milky Way Galaxy's major powers for control of the world, each for its own reasons.

Lacunan Lifewatch
The Lacunan Lifewatch was an Imperial Army formation that was active during the Great Crusade from the mid-30th through the early 31st Millennia. The Lifewatch served as part of the 28th Expeditionary Fleet (1st Iteration) under the Thousand Sons Space Marine Legion commanded by Primarch Magnus the Red. The Lifewatch took part in the Pacification of the Ark Reach Cluster, specifically the campaign on the world of Ark Reach Secundus (named Heliosa by its inhabitants, nicknamed "Shrike" by the Imperial forces) against the advanced humans known as the Avenians. During this campaign, they fought alongside the Ouranti Draks and Prospero Spireguard Imperial Army regiments. The Lifewatch assisted the Thousand Sons and Prospero Spireguard in hunting down any rogue aeries of the Avenians.

Last Reach Regiments
The Last Reach Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from an unknown Imperial world. Recently they sent multiple regiments to fight against the Forces of Chaos under the command of Abaddon the Despoiler during the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41. All three regiments are currently listed as missing in action.

Latarii Gundogs
The Latarii Gundogs are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Imperial world of Latarii. The Gundogs were sent in support of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, a massive Imperial Crusade fought over the course of more than 23 standard years between 755.M41 and 778.M41, to help retake the Sabbat Worlds Sector located at the rimward edge of the Segmentum Pacificus from the heretical Forces of Chaos. Disaster befell the Latarii Gundogs in 767.M41, during the campaign on the world of Lamicia, where they were annihilated by the forces of the Archenemy.

Lexxian Regiments
The Lexxian Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Death World of Lexxia. Traditionally, the Lexxian Regiments are known to adopt a vicious predator from their deadly homeworld as their unit's totem. For example, the Lexxian 9th chose the Sawtooth as their mascot -- a voracious feline hunter that can grow to the size of a horse. It is claimed that in order for a warrior to become a Sergeant or officer in the regiment, that they must hunt and defeat one of these apex predators personally. A trooper of this regiment is allowed to wear a Sawtooth fang for every successful campaign that they have taken part in.

Logres Regiments
The Logres Regiments are the poorly developed regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Logres. The 10th Logres Regiment, commanded by Colonel Octavius Rabelaq, is known to have taken part in the defence of Tarsis Ultra in 999.M41, when that world was attacked by a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan. The 10th Logres fought alongside the Ultramarines 4th Company, commanded by Captain Uriel Ventris, in the valiant defence of this Imperial world. Though the planet was saved and the 10th Logres survived the battle, their commander perished in a final act of heroic self-sacrifice. Colonel Rabelaq commanded his regiment from the relative safety of a Capitol Imperialis, a massive super-heavy tank often utilised as a mobile command base. During the defence of the capital city of Erebus, Rabelaq ordered his vehicle to charge into the enemy to protect the rear flank of the 993rd Death Korps of Krieg Regiment. Though the Krieg regiment was saved from destruction, the Rabelaq's Capitol Imperialis was surrounded by thousands of Tyranid bioforms. Firing upon a massive Tyranid Bio-Titan, the enraged creature knocked the Imperial vehicle on its side. As the Tyranids tore into the vehicle's hull, Colonel Rabelaq ordered the city's Defence Cannons to fire on his vehicle's exposed plasma reactor, and the resultant explosion vaporised everything within a 500 meter radius, fatally wounding the Bio-Titan.

Lorentian Regiments
The Lorentian Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Hive World of Lorentia, a planet with huge hive cites full of millions of people crowded into tight quarters. The Lorentian 4th Regiment took part in the Imperial campaign on Zaro's World against the Orks.

Lostock Regiments
The Lostock Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Lostock, located in the Ultima Segmentum. When the Adeptus Mechanicus Forge World of Dantis III was attacked by the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Kraken, the Lostock 23rd Regiment was quickly mustered and sent to that Imperial planet to combat the alien menace. A few companies of the Lostock 23rd were involved in a key experiment carried out by the Tech-priests of the Magos Biologis. They surgically modified these selected Guardsmen with drug-secreting glands that allowed them to resist the debilitating effects of the Tyranid Hive Mind and to help them survive unprotected in the highly toxic biosphere of Dantis III, as well as boosting their combat abilities and aggressiveness. Dantis III was eventually scoured of the Tyranid menace, but the Lostock 23rd was utterly annihilated. Only three of these so-called Gland Warriors are believed to have survived the conflict. After the successful defence of Dantis III, these survivors were taken by the agents of the Inquisition for debriefing and study.

Lucifer Blacks
The Lucifer Blacks were an Imperial Army formation that was active during the latter years of the Age of Strife and Great Crusade eras from the 30th through the 31st Millennia. Due to the severe losses they suffered during the Age of Strife and the subsequent Unification Wars at the hands of the Emperor's superior Thunder Warriors, these illustrious regiments were divided up to serve as elite bodyguards to senior-ranking Imperial Army officers and officials of the newly-formed Imperial Unity government on Terra. A small detachment was assigned to the 670th Expeditionary Fleet to serve as part of Lord Commander Teng Namatjira's personal retinue.

Maccabian Janissaries
The Maccabian Janissaries are an elite Imperial Guard regiment united by their zealous faith in the God-Emperor and composed of the finest members of the Maccabian militia raised from the world of Maccabeus Quintus who follow in the footsteps of their great patron, the Imperial Saint Drusus. These regiments hail from the blessed world of Maccabeus Quintus, an arid and bitterly cold Shrine World located in the Calixis Sector, where the great General Drusus fell and was raised up as a saint by the glory of the Emperor during the Angevin Crusade which conquered the Calixis Sector for the Imperium. This harsh world is not blessed because of the resources it possesses (which are few), or because of the climate (which is harsh), but because of the faith that grows there in abundance. A site of pilgrimage for the Imperial Cult's faithful across the Calixis Sector, this Shrine World has a significant military tradition all its own. These pilgrims form the core of the Maccabian militias, the Planetary Defence Force of the Shrine World, the finest of which are chosen to become Maccabian Janissaries. Like Saint Drusus, they defend or expand the Imperium in battle, which is regarded as the most pious form of worship of the God-Emperor. To date, none have refused this honour, for all are driven by faith and the spirit of pilgrimage. To become a Janissary is to embark upon a sacred pilgrimage of a different sort, carrying the Emperor's wrath to dark and distant places.

Mako Regiments
The Mako Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Mako. The 6th Mako Regiment was sent in support of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, a massive Imperial Crusade fought over the course of more than 23 standard years between 755.M41 and 778.M41, to help retake the Sabbat Worlds Sector located at the rimward edge of the Segmentum Pacificus from the heretical Forces of Chaos.

Malcador's Chosen
Malcador's Chosen was an Imperial Army formation that was active during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras, from the mid-30th Millennium through the early 31st Millennium. Not much information about this regiment remains in current Imperial records, but the troops of Malcador's Chosen were known to wear similar uniforms to the modern-era Cadian Shock Troops with a bit more gold flourish; golden Imperial Aquilas were worn on the breastplate, shoulder guards and knee guards of their Carapace Armour, denoting their status as being a part of the personal guard of Malcador the Sigillite, the Regent of Terra.

Minervan Tank Legions
The Minervan Tank Legions are the elite armoured regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Civilised World of Minerva. Supposedly the people of Minerva originally hailed from the Hive World of Armageddon, and are descended from settlers derived from the 1st Armageddon Steel Legion. The Minervan Tank Legions are highly regarded in the realm of armoured warfare and serve as a model for other armoured regiments within the Imperial Guard. Two regiments, which include the 10th and 217th Minervan Tank Legions, were deployed to Armageddon in 998.M41, to defend it from the massive Ork WAAAGH! of the notorious Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka.

Morbidian Skull Takers
The Morbidian Skull Takers are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Feral World of Morbidia. The Morbidians have a fell reputation for mutilating their fallen enemies' bodies to wear as macabre totems. This morbid practise is frowned upon by the Imperium, and as such, the Skull Takers are currently undergoing intense tutelage in the Imperial Cult.

Mordant Acid-Dogs
The Mordant Acid-Dogs are the Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Mining World of Mordant Prime, located in the Segmentum Obscurus. The Mordant Acid-Dogs specialise in subterranean tunnel fighting. They are typically deployed to combat zones where the Imperial High Command wishes to take advantage of their natural affinity for dark and confined spaces. The harsh conditions of their world breeds extremely tough and resilient warriors who are perfect for conscription into the military forces of the Imperium. The people of Mordant Prime live in subterranean tunnels, where criminal gangs are the only authority, preying upon the weak and extorting them for their meager resources. Only the skilled miners who are a part of the ancient organisation of Mordant mining clans, do not suffer from the extreme poverty experienced by the majority of the populace. The miners contract local manual labor, paying them only enough to acquire the most basic of necessities, which forces them to live in rustic shacks in the shanty caverns of the world. The Mordant Regiments draw their conscripts from those unfortunate wretches that can no longer tolerate the harsh life of their world and the horrid living conditions, or from those who have earned the dire wrath of one of the many criminal gangs.

Mordion Regiments
The Mordion Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard raised from the Hive World of Mordion. A notable regiment is the 7th Mordion, which was raised from a particularly vicious hive city gang called the "Night Rippers." The Night Rippers first came to the notice of Imperial Commander Varren, the Planetary Governor of Mordion, when they seized control of the whole of Island-City Two. The Night Rippers had managed to use the spaceport and hundreds of orbit-capable ships they captured to attempt a blockade of the planet in support of various demands for cash and equipment. Their efforts went largely unrewarded and the survivors of the action by the world's security forces to retake the spaceport were recruited, forcibly, into the Imperial Guard. It was decided that such formidable fighting skills should not be needlessly wasted, and if redirected properly, they would quickly prove invaluable to the Imperial Guard regiments of Mordion. Only the leaders of the rebellion were executed. Imperial Commander Varren chose to enact the ritual deaths using one of the Night Rippers' own ceremonial serrated swords. The gang's traditional badge therefore took on a new meaning as the symbol of their entry into Imperial service and an emblem of their leaders' sacrifice. D Company of the 7th Mordion deployed in support of the Pacification of Flotis III. They were assigned to pacify the third continent by ridding it of a dangerous population of Orks who had established a large settlement there. They were also to bring back into the Imperial fold the fiercely independent human population of the region who had managed to remain free of Ork domination. The Night Rippers acquitted themselves well over the course of this ultimately successful two-year-long campaign.

Mordian Iron Guard
The Mordian Iron Guard are the superbly drilled and accoutred regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Hive World of Mordian. This bleak world is tidally-locked with its sun, which causes one side of it to always be bathed in perpetual darkness while the other is continuously washed by its star's radiation, leaving it a scorched and lifeless wasteland. As such, all human settlements on Mordian are located on the world's dark side, and the planet has well-earned its moniker as the "World of Eternal Night." The people of Mordian are grim and dour by nature, respecting only discipline and duty. Their regiments are fiercely loyal to their cause: the prosecution of the Emperor's enemies. In battle, these highly-disciplined soldiers present perfectly formed ranks of troops to the enemy, unleashing precisely timed volleys of las-fire from behind a hedge of bayonet points. Some enemies of the Emperor have been misled by the Mordians' elaborate and ornate uniforms to believe that they were facing amateurs or only ceremonial troops, only to find the bright uniforms contain tough, steely-eyed and implacable warriors of the Imperium.

Mortant Regiments
The Mortant Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the Hive World of Mortant. It is common practise amongst the savage hive-gangers of Mortant to take body parts as trophies from defeated enemies. The Mortant VII Regiment, known as the "Headhunters," were actively encouraged by their commander Colonel Radge to continue this custom, earning them a vicious reputation. During the infamous "Sacking of Colonia," the "Headhunters" supposedly went on a three-month rampage, pillaging and plundering from Imperial settlements on Colonia, after defeating the Ork hordes of the Warlord Gharag Badtoof. It was later claimed that the Orks were actually responsible for much of the devastation, but there are those amongst the people of Colonia who still blame the "Headhunters."

Mortessan Highlanders
The Mortessan Highlanders are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that hail from the world of Mortessa. The 14th Mortessan Highlanders took part in the massive Imperial campaign known as the Achilus Crusade in 777.M41, intended to bring the rediscovered Jericho Reach back under the dominion of the God-Emperor of Mankind. Waged over many decades, this ongoing Crusade has consumed millions of lives and devastated dozens of worlds.

Naga Regiments

Narmenian
The Narmenian Regiments are regiments of Imperial Guard raised up from the world of Narmenia. The Narmenians sent three regiments, including the 1st (Armoured) 2nd (Heavy) and 3rd, in support of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, a massive Imperial Crusade fought over the course of more than 23 standard years between 755.M41 and 778.M41, to help retake the Sabbat Worlds Sector located at the rimward edge of the Segmentum Pacificus from the heretical Forces of Chaos.

Necromunda Regiments
The Necromunda Regiments are regiments of Imperial Guard raised up from the Hive World of Necromunda, located in the Segmentum Solar. The forges of this vital world produce large stockpiles of weapon for the never-ending wars fought by the military forces of the Imperium. Millions of people live in tall, imposing Hive Cities, in cramped conditions that are rive with simmering tension. As is typical of most hive worlds, Necromunda's many hive cites are full of powerful hive gangs, which provide a readily available stock of potential recruits for the Imperium's military forces. Necromunda is known for giving large levies of conscripts for service in the Imperial Guard. Notable regiments include the Necromundan 7th ("Lucky Sevens"), Necromundan 8th ("The Spiders"), Necromundan 9th Infantry, and the Necromundan 12th Regiment.

Neride Regiments
The Neride Regiments were Imperial Army regiments raised up on the world of Calth, located in the Ultima Segmentum. They were active during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras, from mid-30th through the early 31st Millennium. One notable regiment, the Neride 10th, known as the "Regulators," were garrisoned at the city of Neride near Numinus City on Calth. The helped defend the Realms of Ultramar during the Battle of Calth against the Forces of Chaos, led by the traitorous Word Bearers Space Marine Legion.

Ninth-Ward Angeloi Adamantiphracts
The Ninth-Ward Angeloi Adamantiphracts were an Imperial Army formation that was active during the Great Crusade and the opening days of the Horus Heresy, from mid-30th through the early 31st Millennium. The Adamantiphracts were attached to the 51st Expeditionary Fleet under the command of the 14th Grand Company of the Iron Warriors Space Marine Legion, formerly commanded by Warsmith Barabas Dantioch. He had been laid low during a massive Hrud infestation on the world of Gholghis. Having fallen out of favour with his Primarch Perturabo, Dantioch and their subordinate Imperial Army elements were relegated to performing garrison duty upon the barren world of Lesser Damantyn, where the former Warsmith was responsible for the construction of the formidable fortress known as the Schadenhold. When a fellow Warsmith loyal to the traitorous Warmaster Horus came to Lesser Damantyne to inform Dantioch that his fortress would be used as a staging area and resupply point for the inevitable campaign of the Traitors against Terra, Dantioch refused to acknowledge his former brethren, declaring his loyalty to the Emperor. Following a brutal internecine conflict that raged for just over a year, the mighty fortress fell to the Traitor Iron Warriors, and the Ninth-Ward died to a man.

Noctan Strike Forces
The Noctan Strike Forces are the elite regiments of Imperial Guard raised up from the world of Noctan. These silent warriors are adept at stealth, cover and concealment, night raids and guerrilla tactics. The night vision of these warriors is exceptional, and their dark skin adds to the elaborate camouflage they don as they assault an enemy position. Skilled at infiltration, many of Noctan's Guardsmen range ahead of the main force, planting explosives and sowing confusion before hundreds of figures pour from the darkness into the foe's midst as part of a cunning ambush.

Numinus Regiments
The Numinus Regiments were Imperial Army regiments that were raised up on the world of Calth, located in the Ultima Segmentum. They were active during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras, from mid-30th through the early 31st Millennium. One notable regiment, the Numinus 61st, was garrisoned on Calth, and were present to help defend the Realms of Ultramar during the Battle of Calth against the Forces of Chaos, led by the traitorous Word Bearers Space Marine Legion.
