"Damnation is my sword, corruption my shield!"
- —Common Stigmartus battle cry

A Stigmartus Infantryman ready for war.
The Stigmartus Infantry are the basic infantry troops used within the armies of the Stigmartus Chaos Cult that is fighting for control of the Jericho Reach in the Segmentum Ultima.
Able to fight and willing to die, the common warrior of the Stigmartus is easily the equal of any soldier of the Astra Militarum. Thanks to some unknown bargain sworn between Cult-General Elak Sarda and the Dark Mechanicum Hereteks of Samech, Stigmartus infantry troops are armed with Chaos-corrupted versions of standard Imperial weaponry.
Indeed, the only things that separate the cult's infantry from the Imperial forces of the Achilus Crusade are their damned souls and marred flesh.
A typical Stigamartus infantryman wears flak armour and a respirator. They also carry extra ammunition and Frag Grenades, alongside a Samech Pattern Autogun and a Stigmartus Scourge.
