W40k: In Service to the Imperium: Episode 4 (OOC/Closed)

[Segmentia]

IC

The basic idea here, is that each RPer will assume the role of an individual company within a single Imperial Guard regiment. To ensure a decent degree of customization, players can create companies from any world they wish (within reason), including fan created worlds (also within reason). As you may or may not know, regiments that suffer extreme casualties, being reduced to a companies strength, are folded into a 'mother 'company, therefore creating a full regiment of mixed cultures and soldiers of specialty.

I would also like to keep persistent stats for the various companies, to add more realism to the whole thing. So if you are interested, fill out a company application and post it, and we'll see how it does. Obviously we can't have everyone be a tank company, or all of something else. There should be more infantry companies then other types, as we will be a Line Regiment.

------

It is the 41st millennium, and there is only war.

It is the fourth year of Lord-General Yillm Cobans’ crusade in the Sagittarius Arm of Segmentum Ultima. The crusade had been launched to dislodge the vile Tau from several worlds they recently claimed and have brought into their empire. With the noble intention of reclaiming these worlds for the Emperor and the Imperium, millions of Imperial Guardsmen have been thrown into battle again and again for six years. The casualties have been immense for both sides. But the Imperium has slowly pushed the Tau back, reclaiming systems. Segmentum command has issued an edict that the Lord-Generals crusade must not fail, and a mass wave of reinforcements are being prepared to bolster Coban’s ranks.

Knowing it was on its last leg in the defense of its new worlds, the Tau have initiated a counter-attack where-ever they can. One the extreme flank of the crusades front stands a frozen world, Kel'borshal. Though this world is of little importance otherwise, indicated by the fact the Tau had such a small garrison there and the small Imperium force sent to take it, but if the remaining Tau defenders, along with a small amount of reinforcements, are able to push the Imperium off the frozen wastes, the entire crusade will be in danger. So, Lord-General Coban is forced to send whatever forces he can muster to aid the 1162nd Cadian Regiment, or what remains of it, and those forces are a rag-tag collection of units from battered regiments.

The Imperium and Tau are not the only forces at play however. A host of Eldar warriors has plagued both sides constantly, as they have been elsewhere. It seems the Eldar wish to draw out this crusade as long as possible.

------
Rules:

1. No goddmodding. Take casualties. If you don't, I will make sure you suffer more than you need to.
2. This is Warhammer 40,000. If you have no knowledge of it, perhaps applying is not a good idea. But if you are interested, take a look here for information.
3. This is a relatively serious RP. Of course there may be some humorous things, your company will not be carnival clowns from the Inquisition either.
4. Your personal number cannot exceed more than 700. Armor companies can have no more than fifty Leman Russ tanks (of any variation) and any super heavy tanks must be prior approved. They will more than likely not be accepted anyways, due to their nature. Remember, you are in this new regiment because of severe losses to your previous regiment. Full stats may be denied.
5. No commanding officers above the rank of Major.
6. Type of regiments (in this case, companies) can be seen here. You can be anything but a Drop or Siege specialty. Do keep in mind that Abhumans are accepted.

Accepted companies

Company name: 1st Company, 1162nd Cadian
Home world: Cadia
Type of Company: Infantry/Acting HQ
Commanding Officer: Colonel Arktheleon Lividivus
Number of Guardsmen: 329
Support (Weapons, vehicles, etc): 5 Chimera APCs, 5 Heavy Bolters, 3 Mortars, 3 Las-Cannons, various support and supply vehicles.
Uniforms: Usually the regular Cadian, though due to the snow-environment they were issued with snow-camo uniforms.
Miscellaneous info: Your average, hard-fighting Cadians.

-Company Commander info-

Name: Arktheleon Lividivus
Age: 56
Gender: Male
Rank: Colonel
Background: Having been born on Cadia, Lividivus has been fighting full-scale battles since he was ten years old. The memories of these early battle scar his mind, and his body, having received a few wounds during his time as a ‘White Shield’ on Cadia. When he came of age he joined the Guard proper and was almost immediately sent off-world with the 1162nd to fight the enemies of the Emperor across the Imperium. He rose through the ranks as the regiment faced down enemy after enemy, from Ork Wagghs!, to full-scale rebellions and Chaos insurrections.

When the 1162nd landed on Kel'borshal he was just a major leading one of the infantry companies. Over the several months of fighting, he was the highest ranking officer left and was granted a promotion to Colonel. He now has the difficult task of defending Kel’borshal.

Company name: Higaran 92nd Infantry
Home world: Higara
Type of Company: Infantry
Commanding Officer: First Lieutenant Gregory Dietrich Gustav
Number of Guardsmen: 307
Support (Weapons, vehicles, etc):
-16 Chimeras for mechanized transport
-19 Infantry Mortars
-11 Infantry Heavy Bolters
-3 Lascannons

-6 Centaurs, pulling Heavy Mortars

Each squad of men is designated with a single trooper to utilize a missile launcher or flamer, as such, numbers are:
-17 Missile launchers
-18 Flamers




Uniforms: Left most uniform is the standard Higaran infantry uniform. Flak armor chest piece is not shown as it obstructs a full view.

Next image is of a standard issue Higaran helmet, manufactured on Higara and thus not of Cadian template.

(Image)

Before redeployment to Kel'borshal, the 92nd was thankfully able to receive winter coats for each trooper. Higaran great coats follow similar coloring and make patterns.

Miscellaneous info: Higaran infantry regiments are often known for their large use of mortars, following their standard doctrine. Infantry are to always have indirect fire support, and while artillery regiments are best for this procedure, it is not always possible for such a regiment to be readily available. Therefore, mortars are provided to infantry regiments, where heavy mortars can provide more powerful and farther range support than the standard infantry mortar, which is used at a squad level.

-Company Commander info-

Name: Gregory Dietrich Gustav
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Rank: First Lieutenant, prior to gaining regimental command Gustav served as commander of the indirect fire support platoons.
Background: Gregory enrolled in an Imperial Guard junior officers school at the age of sixteen, prior to his completion of his main education, a luxury that few Imperial citizens receive. Proficient in mathematics, Gustav was selected for officer training in an artillery regiment. However, due to the already large number of artillery officers, Gustav, at his own accord, opted to become an infantry officer, more than capable at leading the contingent of mortars and, if he was lucky, earthshakers.

Though fate was not exceptionally kind, and Gustav was assigned as a platoon leader with no combat experience, always something that many men despised. But, thanks to his competence and trial by fire, Gustav was able to prove himself a solid line officer after several engagements. Serving a few years as a mainline infantry officer, Gustav's transfer to serve with the regiments artillery compliment was accepted, and he came to command an infantry mortar platoon due to his field experience. Content, he served this role for many more years until he eventually achieved the rank of First Lieutenant, coming to command half of the indirect fire support platoons with another first lieutenant, both under command of Major Fredrick, now deceased.

Several weeks ago was the engagement which saw the 92nd nearly wiped out. Holding out against Tau forces while other guard regiments routed, the 92nd were able to repel the xenos at a costly price. Instead of earning time to recover, the now company force of men were placed under a new regiment to continue their service.
Physical description: Gustav is broad shouldered and stands at 5'10, not quite the model of an officer. Like most Higarans, he sports a brown mustache. Gustav has shrapnel scarring along the left side of his face from an exploded mortar shell, and he counts himself lucky to have not lost his eye. His eyes are green, and are set in a hard and grim gaze.

Company name: Morallis Fighting Third - Once a regiment, suffered extremely heavy casualties in their last crusade-oriented escapade.
Home world: Morallis
Type of Company: Heavy Infantry
Commanding Officer: Major Dimitri Major
Number of Guardsmen: 317
Support: All men are armored in Carapace armor, once a faded blue sheen, it has been commanded to be worn in the coal black of atonement until these men complete this crusade in order to make up for their failure and massive loss of personnel (the Regiment previously numbered in the tens of thousands.). All visors have an interface to allow them to view the sight of the weapon; each helmet is outfitted with standard vox uplinks and rebreather apparatuses. Dimitri Major's and the few other remaining sergeants' and lieutenants' visors are outfitted with tactical displays which allow them to keep track of their men.
Almost every man is equipped with a hotshot lasgun; the majority of men equipped with these weapons survived the last crusade. Those that did not have such weaponry were able to salvage the weapons of their superiors. Each is outfitted with a simple scope that interfaces with their helmets' visors, a bayonet - some chain, some simply of monomolecular make - and expanded power packs. Sidearms are a mixture of laspistols, hellpistols, plasma pistols, flamer pistols, and others.
The company makes use of approximately forty plasma guns, twenty melta guns, fifteen missile launchers, a number of grenade launchers - some integrated into hotshot lasguns - an unknown number of flamers, often integrated into the hotshot lasguns as a last-resort attachment, and a single squad of men equipped with long-lases and conventional sniper rifles.
Grenades are roughly evenly dispersed amongst the men, men with launchers obviously having more. Grenades are predominantly fragmentation, though krak grenades are somewhat common as well - at least one man in each squad should have one. Lieutenants and sergeants are often given small quantities of hallucinogenic or flash grenades.
The regiment never made use of heavy weapons like heavy bolters, lascannons, and autocannons. As such, the now company has no access to such weapons. The company also has little access to transports beyond those provided by the Munitorum and the "Mother" Company, likely from an armor company.
Miscellaneous info: The Morallis Fighting Regiments number forty-and-seven. They draw directly from the Morallis system, which, having no Space Marine chapters claiming any recruits, is able to put the cream of the crop into the ranks of their famed regiments. The Morallis Fighting First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth see the majority of the fighting. To these men, honor ranks above all - or at least, it did. For their failure, their armor has been recolored charcoal black, the color of penance within the system of Morallis. The Fighting Third now simply carries that name temporarily as a new Fighting Third is being formed at their home. Forbidden to show any signs of their home besides a single banner, they are simply marked with their Munitorum tracking codes. Once proud, they now simply fight on. All veterans, and equipped exceedingly well, they have accepted the reality of their situation and now do as they are told. While some of their previous glory hunter fire remains inside, it would take a truly heroic situation to reignite such a fire.

-Company Commander info-

Name: Dimitri Major
Age: 46
Gender: M
Rank: Major - promoted in the field due to his senior officers almost all being dead, he is now the highest ranking officer of the company, and the promotions have been authorized by both the Morallis Regimental Command and the Munitorum.
Background: Born on the world of Morallis, Dimitri was a man of honor and pride. Honor and pride are everything to a Morallan man; a man of Morallis is a man who's life revolves around his own honor, his regiment's honor, his family's honor, and his planet's honor. There are forty-seven Morallan regiments; within the Morallis Fighting First through Twelve you are almost only able to serve if you are a battle-hardened veteran or a member of the royal families.

Serving for thirty-one years, since he was fifteen, Dimitri has served in the Forty Seventh, the Forty Second, the Thirty Fifth, the Twenty Ninth, the Sixteenth, Fifteenth, Fourteenth, and Thirteenth, before finally being promoted to serving in the honored Third. He has a very large variety of combat honors and medals. His body has very few apparent injuries, and he has undergone almost no rejuvenat procedures. Despite this, due to the extremely well-chosen genes of almost every Morallan family, he does not show the fact that he has seen almost five decades of life in this cruel universe.

Dimitri's regiment was torn apart - they have been reduced to 317 men. Their previous pride and glory-hounding attitude has been almost completely broken in twain. They now fight to recant their failures. Their previous failures, while not terrible by most standards, were far greater than any that a Morallis regiment had suffered. Reduced in numbers, they are essentially a placeholder for the next Fighting Third which is being trained and built back in their home system.

Physical description:

(Image)

He has an amount of battle scarring, though not a terribly high level. Standing at an average five-foot-eleven, he is not well-shaven, though his hair is kept to the length shown in the picture. His eyes still retain much of the sheen that they had when he was younger, though he now has an obvious feel of a man who has seen much warfare.

His armor is outfitted as previously stated. He carries the power sword of his CO, whom gave it to him as part of the promotion, which is named Legate. He also carries a hellpistol, attached by a closely hooked cable to a small power pack between his shoulder blades, giving him a hulking appearance in his armor. He carries a hotshot lasgun, though he rarely uses it. He carries two fragmentation grenades at his belt along with a single krak grenade and a single flash grenade.

Company name: Tenebraen 7^th "Boogeymen" Night-Fighters
Home world: Tenebrae
Type of Company: Abhuman
Commanding Officer: Major Gustaf Johansen
Number of Guardsmen: 701
Support: 7 Leman Russ Vanquishers, 1 Valdor Tank Hunter (recovered from Chaos forces), 97 missile launchers, 40 Sentinals (Armageddon Pattern), melta bombs, plasma guns, flamers, etc.
Uniforms: This, but black with white and grey as secondary colors. Wear welding googles when in the light and not wearing the gasmasks to protect sensitive eyes.
Miscellaneous info: Nightsider abhumans with pale, chalk white skin, pointed teeth, wiry build, and sensitive eyes possessing night-vision and yellow sclera. Typical hair colors are white, grey, and black. Other then that are the same as normal humans. Prefer stealthy night fighting, with hit-and-run and terror tactics. Lack heavy weaponry due to set-up time, with the exception of rocket launchers. Vehicles fulfill anti-armor role. Due to clerical error their regiment isn't listed as Abhuman, so many aren't aware of this until they actually see their faces, which isn't helped by the fact that they typically wear gasmasks.

Company Commander info:
Name: Gustaf Johansen
Age: 24
Rank: Major
Background: Grew up in the perpetual darkness of his homeworld, where it was eternal night due to non-stop cloud coverage and dust clouds brought on by Warp anomalies . Was originally a 2^nd Lieutenant, got promoted to Captain after the death of his superiors, Captain Collins and 1^st Lieutenant Green, during the fighting on LV-426. Killed a Lictor by ramming it with a mining vehicle. Was afterwards promoted to Major by armchair generals that were unaware of his Abhuman status.
Physical description: Lean, dark grey hair, otherwise normal for his kind. Stands at just over 6 feet in height.

Company name: Goda 1st Heavy Armoured Company, 8th Regiment, "Iron Lollipop"/"Iron Bludgeons"
Home world: Goda
Type of Company: Heavy armour
Commanding Officer: Captain Oron
Number of Guardsmen: 72 men, 20 women
Support (Weapons, vehicles, etc): 2 macharius heavy tanks, Macharius vanquisher, 4 chimera, 10 trojans, 1 samaritan ambulance, and one(1) Manticore missile. This is plan B.
Uniforms: None really, but you'll know it when you see a guy walking around in ornately-decorated hodge-podge used for armor. The tanks are painted a deep red, and decorated with art and flags. You know, for science.
Miscellaneous info: Goda soldiers maintain their own armor. Their armor is a custom heirloom (or more often not, considering life expectancy) passed down in the family, often incorporating pieces of clothing from past tours. As such it is not unknown for an ornate breastplate to be made from carapace armor, or for a mask from, say, a Skavakor regiment to be worn by a Goda soldier.

In case you're wondering, the nickname "Iron Lollipop" is because of a mistranslation from low gothic, but the Goda found it cute so they let it stick.

-Company Commander info-

Name: Leyisu Oron
Age: 50
Gender: Male
Rank: Captain
Background: Leyisu yada yada yada, from a feudal Knight World, yada yada yada, father was a monk, yada yada yada, Officer School. So Then-Lieutenant Oron was a tank commander in the 8th until his unit led a decisive charge against orks on the Planet Kharkohf at the age of 29, at which point he was promoted to captain and given the 4th armoured company to pimp around in(Sic.).

After a few years of commanding the 4th armoured company(9 years) Oron was transferred to the 1st armoured company, a Baneblade and a full squadron of Macharius tanks supported by Trojans, atlas, and armoured fist squads. However, came Planet Morgoth when the 8th Regiment was decimated by the Ork WAAAGH!!! Segga, leading to the capture of the baneblade and a Macharius, the destruction of most of the logistical support, the deaths of all supoorting infantry, and the combining of the remnants of the first armored company with the second, a lone Macharius Vanquisher, four Chimeras, a single manticore missile with no launcher (for some reason), and two Trojans. And that's why the captain is sulking like a techpriest about a goddamn tank.

Company Commander info:
Name: Commander Jason Murrik
Age: 37
Rank(Preferably something below Colonel): Commander
Background: Jason has had a love for destroying things and fighting ever since he was a child. It was only natural for him to join Trovik Imperial guard at the age of 16, and join the Sapper regiment. He has served in the 51st for his entire military career and is known for being both a hard ass, and strong leader under pressure. He has seen conflict in many tours, and is a hardened battle vet.

Now that his beloved regiment has been destroyed by the Ork Waagh!, he has vowed revenge on them and will stop at nothing to kill the Waagh!'s Warboss. Currently he resides with the 27th but holds little to no loyalty to them, for he feels as though they could have done something to save his regiment, and instead did nothing.

-Company Commander info-

Name: Gilbert Maddur
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Rank: Colour Sergeant
Background: Gilbert Maddur is the son of a wealthy Rogue Trader and a Governor's daughter, because of this he had a very privileged lifestyle and attended a Tactical Academy on a world not too far from Kertroosel, at the Academy he learnt common Imperial tactics, procedures and rules, after graduation he went back to his homeworld with a commission as a Colour Sergeant in the PDF, quite an honourable position.

After realising there were no units that needed an extra Colour Sergeant, he and a group of other Academy Graduates raised funds to purchase a dozen armoured vehicles and petitioned the Governor for permission to found a new unit, which was accepted, the Armoured Division had been founded and the Governor appointed his son as General of the unit, but he was an able commander so there were no real complaints.

The next five years went by quickly and uneventfully, there were only a few minor skirmishes with Pirates, Slavers and a few groups of Heretics, nothing too serious, but when a minor Tyranid fleet arrived at a nearby system, all available units were rushed to the scene, during the three year long battle for Travolta IV all of the units Chimeras were destroyed and they started relying on tanks built just behind the frontlines by engineers, they were no where near as good as a proper Chimera, but they were better then nothing, the new versions was simple to operate and replacements could be trained much faster then before.

The aftermath of the battle was horrendous, hundreds of millions dead, the world of Travolta IV cracked in half in an attempt to stop the Hive-Mind creatures from spreading, the Armoured Division down to only fifteen hundred men, but the Tyranids were destroyed so it was counted as an Imperial victory.
After that great battle, the next six years were frustratingly uneventful, only an Orkish WAAAGH!!! or two to fight off, though that was probably for the best, much of Kertroosel's manpower goes into agricultural or pastoral activities, after the loss of so many men so recently, they could hardly afford to reinforce the unit, and so they rarely gave them any tough nuts to crack.

The next year was not so peaceful, a Khorne worshipping cult sprung up on the inhabited fourth planet in the Kertroosel system, Evan, they quickly destroyed much of the planet and the Imperial citizens were slaughtered or converted, obviously the rest of the region was worried by this and again, all available troops were sent in, this battle was much shorter than the battle for Travolta IV, the infantry simply went down to the world and rounded up as many proper Imperial citizens as they could for evacuation, unfortunately there were only a few hundred that could be saved, but that's life.

After the evacuation was completed, the army got back on their ships and waited in orbit, blockading the planet until the navy could arrive in force to execute Exterminatus, during that time several escape runs by the Khornite forces were fought off, with the loss of several ships, but they were held on the world for long enough and the navy arrived and used Cyclonic torpedoes to ignite the atmosphere, leaving the world unliveable.

At the end of this short campaign, the unit was down to only a few men with only four tanks, not really an effective size for a unit, but that is a common thing in the Imperium so they were combined with two other, equally destroyed units to form a company sized force, which is not a very effective unit as well, but it's a hell of a lot better then just four tanks, the 9302/4925/KOM Company has been involved in no actions to date, but with the Crusade against the Tau, even small units such as this are needed as reinforcements.

Uniforms:

Olive green fatigues (like the Israeli Defense Force wears) with coyote brown Flak Armor

Miscellaneous info: Locke is a civilized world and a quasi-garden world. It's filled with rolling farmlands and sprawling forests and is a mostly rural and undeveloped world. The Light Infantry Regiments that hail from Locke are all adept survivalists that move quicker and more effectively through harsh terrain than most Guardsmen and have better staying power due to their abilities to "live off the land", by hunting local wildlife and eating various flora. Due to their status as a Light Infantry Unit though, the only weapons they are equipped with are man-portable and often disabled and discarded on long marches if necessary. The 5'th Company is the only surviving unit of the 94'th Lockite Ranger Regiment and largely uses guerilla warfare tactics against the Tau forces they are fighting. 5'th Company, like most Ranger Regiments, is outfitted with at least one Sniper/Marksman and one Meltagunner per squad. Some of these have been scavenged from the remains of their parent Regiment.

Company name: 6th Thermidor Logistics and Tacticae Company.
Home world: Thermidor. Scholam World. Formerly a Pleasure/Garden World, during the last millenia the planet Thermidor suffered a transformation after the founding of a Schola Progenium upon its surface by the Ecclesiarchy and the Adeptum Munitorum for high level orphans. Thermidor has 4 continents, two of which remain in a level similar to an agri-world, a third remains in a Pleasure World state for members of the Ecclesiarchy, and the fourth hosts the Academia, the massive sprawling city home of the Schola Progenium. Thermidor has traditionally produced cadres of officers for the Navy, the Imperial Guard, and the Commissariat, and high ranking graduates to the Adeptus Munitorum, but also many graduates have joined the Adeptus Mechanicum, the Adeptus Sororitas, and even the Sacred Ordos of the Inquisition in a few rare cases, but during the last two centuries it has also contributed with two formal regiments to the Guard, formed by remnant students commandered by graduates. As such, Thermidor has many good relationships with the most powerful entities of the Empire, and it is also known as the University World of the Imperium.
Type of Company: Formerly a mechanized artillery support company, the 4th Thermidor still have two batteries of mobile pieces, but given its depleted firepower it serves as Support Logistics Company. Meanwhile it has the ability to support and even carry small anti-armor missions by their own, their appointed duty is to support other companies with communications, medical facilities and personnel, ammo supplying, mechanical maintenance, and tactical assessment and advise.
Commanding Officer: Gunnery Major Victoria Aleinne Isabeau Katherine Vanhayn Debois Castel.
Number of Guardsmen: 300
Support (Weapons, vehicles, etc): Detailed in the full order of battle below
Uniforms: Officers, NCOs, Gunners, Support Personnel, Medicae,Auxiliars.

Miscellaneous info: The 4th Thermidor Spitfire is a segregated regiment. It is entirely composed by women. In the Thermidorian regiments, formed by recently graduates or varsity-like students, it is extremely dishonorable for a male to man such a weapon as an artillery piece, (foppish nobles, the lot), but the tacticians of the world recognized the need to have support artillery regiments for the Thermidor male troops, specialized in siege assault warfare, but no recruit would willingly form part of an artillery complement. The answer was to employ women. All "support" companies raised in Thermidor are composed of women, as main line assaults are a privilege for men. The 4th Thermidor is the oldest all-female artillery support company, and have a reputation for discipline and dedication to duty. It is known as the "Thermidor Maidens" as legend says that once upon a time, the first women that formed the lines were all unmarried virgins, (given that the Thermidorian Scholam was founded by the Ecclesiarchy, and that many of the graduates go to join the church, it is likely they did impose this tradition upon the company at the founding. Other gossip says that the company's first members were actually rejected aspirants to novitiates of the Adeptus Sororitas). Truth or not, it is a tradition that all women recruited for the 4th must be single and have no children. The medicaes always perform surgical (yet reversible) procedures on the members of the company to ensure they do not get pregnant.

All officers of the company are graduates of the Academia Schola Progenium, not just as military officers but also with civilian grades. Vanhayn, for example, is an engineer, specialized in telecommunications and ballistics, and also a Major, meanwhile all medicae officers are surgeon graduates from the Schola, which guarantees a rather high quality of skill from the thermidorian medical bay. The gunners (privates) and NCOs are students of the Scholam that failed to get the grades needed to graduate as officers, (and yet showed some promise), and thus were offered as tithes by their own mentors, teachers, or even classmates. New recruits, however, specially the handful of those drafted after Evisor, known inside the company as "auxiliars", or "trainees", lack that kind of specialization.

-Company Commander info-

Name: Gunnery Major Victoria Aleinne Isabeau Katherine Vanhayn Debois Castel
Age: 37
Gender: Female
Rank: Gunnery Major. Former Lieutenant Colonel.
Background:Victoria Vanhayn have served in the 4th her entire military career. Victoria Aleinne Isabeau Katherine Vanhayn Debois Castel, second child and first daughter of the Vanhayn-Debois House, graduated with the highest honors from the engineering university of Thermidor, giving a surprise when she volunteered for the imperial tithe in place of a younger brother. Previous study in a Scholam Progenium, during which she was sought to be indoctrinated first as an ecclesiarchy Sister and then as a Commissar, but as her mentors found her lack of piety disturbing, she managed to graduate as an Imperial Officer, Second Lieutenant. Thanks to her advanced knowledge of mechanics and physics, even although she managed to displease most of her Adeptus Mechanicus teachers, she secured a post in the next founding as adjutant in the artillery companies. Her ascension through the ranks was progressive, passing as lieutenant, captain and finally major, the highest rank any Thermidor woman can attain in the armed forces. Her ascendance was also a bit slow, as usually is in artillery regiments, that suffer relatively lesser casualties both amongst troops and officers than other regiments, and by those reasons receive less promotions. Major Victoria Vanhayn is an experienced commander of artillery, and have retained her post for 6 years and four consecutive campaigns, and have learned many things about any way of waging warfare.

She learned a lot during the Evisor campaign, and she is now a more mature commander. Although protocol is still important to her, she does not label it as essential anymore, although she values discipline above everything else. Major Vanhayn is also an educated individual, that takes her job seriously as it is, a matter of life and death for the women under her command, and so she tries to learn as much as she can about warfare, both in theory and practice. She values a lot the life of her soldiers and would not sacrifice them under most circumstances.

Physical description: Tall, blonde, aloof and always perfectly groomed. Her uniform is usually flawless. She tends to speak little, and rarely barks or shouts commands, trying to support her words with arguments and reason. She is also polite, although not at all excessively courteous or sycophant. Her soldiers, however, seem to follow her orders quite easily, as they for the most part follow extremely logical ways of thought and reflect an acute common sense.

Company application

Company name: 1st Hakaroni Light Infantry
Home world: Can be pre-existing or fan created (Within reason). Hakaron
Type of Company: Light Infantry
Commanding Officer: Captain Lucas Berhalm
Number of Guardsmen: 500
Support (Weapons, vehicles, etc): 2 Tauros Assault Buggies, 50 Meltaguns (one to each infantry squad and Platoon Command Squad)
Uniforms: Picture or detailed description. Elysian uniforms without grav-chutes
Miscellaneous info: Former Drop Troop regiment, Redeployed as a Light Infantry company after the Askardon Incident showed how the Regiment's fierce rivalry with the Imperial Navy could lead to disastrous outcomes in operations.

-Company Commander info-

Name: Captain Lucas Berhalm
Age: 39
Gender: Male
Rank: Captain
Background: Lucas was the highest ranging survivor of the Regiment to make it out alive from Hive Askardon, refered to as 'Grey Maze' by the Regiment's men. Although he was only enlisted as a Guardsman, Lucas showed remarkable courage to save his platoon commander during a battle against a splinter fleet of Hive Fleet Levithan from being eaten by a Tyranid Ravener which burrowed up behind their position.

After being redeployed to the Eye where the Regiment served as Marines among the ships of the Imperial Navy, a hatred grew between the Guardsmen and the Admiral in command of the fleet as both competed for command of the navy armsmen during numerous boarding actions. This rivalry continued when the same naval vessels were redeployed along with the 47th for the assault on Hive Askardon on the planet Sercarn in the Inxand sector.

The Hive had recently fallen to Chaos Cultists and the plan was for the Navy to destroy the Interceptor systems surrounding the hive while the 47th secured a drop zone for the other regiments. The Navy, 'missed' the bombardment window, dropped the 47th straight into the Interceptor Grid before beginning the orbital bombardment while the 47th took the full pounding of the defence grid and then the orbital bombardment.

The Regiment suffered heavy losses to the Interceptor Grid, the Cultists manning the defensive lines and the following bombardment, leaving the regiment at barely over 2000 men strong from a former 10,000.

The 47th were then deployed into the Hive itself as the initial assault wave, fighting through cultists and daemons and slowly being whittled down until the ashes of the battle had cleared. The 47th was down to 500 men, and was reclassified as the 1st Hakaroni Light Infantry before being stripped of their grav chutes and redeployed on a different fleet.

Company name: Higaran 92nd Infantry
Home world: Higara
Type of Company: Infantry
Commanding Officer: First Lieutenant Gregory Dietrich Gustav
Number of Guardsmen: 307
Support (Weapons, vehicles, etc):
-16 Chimeras for mechanized transport
-19 Infantry Mortars
-11 Infantry Heavy Bolters
-3 Lascannons

-6 Centaurs, pulling Heavy Mortars

Each squad of men is designated with a single trooper to utilize a missile launcher or flamer, as such, numbers are:
-17 Missile launchers
-18 Flamers




Uniforms: Left most uniform is the standard Higaran infantry uniform. Flak armor chest piece is not shown as it obstructs a full view.

Next image is of a standard issue Higaran helmet, manufactured on Higara and thus not of Cadian template.

Before redeployment to Kel'borshal, the 92nd was thankfully able to receive winter coats for each trooper. Higaran great coats follow similar coloring and make patterns.

Miscellaneous info: Higaran infantry regiments are often known for their large use of mortars, following their standard doctrine. Infantry are to always have indirect fire support, and while artillery regiments are best for this procedure, it is not always possible for such a regiment to be readily available. Therefore, mortars are provided to infantry regiments, where heavy mortars can provide more powerful and farther range support than the standard infantry mortar, which is used at a squad level.

-Company Commander info-

Name: Gregory Dietrich Gustav
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Rank: First Lieutenant, prior to gaining regimental command Gustav served as commander of the indirect fire support platoons.
Background: Gregory enrolled in an Imperial Guard junior officers school at the age of sixteen, prior to his completion of his main education, a luxury that few Imperial citizens receive. Proficient in mathematics, Gustav was selected for officer training in an artillery regiment. However, due to the already large number of artillery officers, Gustav, at his own accord, opted to become an infantry officer, more than capable at leading the contingent of mortars and, if he was lucky, earthshakers.

Though fate was not exceptionally kind, and Gustav was assigned as a platoon leader with no combat experience, always something that many men despised. But, thanks to his competence and trial by fire, Gustav was able to prove himself a solid line officer after several engagements. Serving a few years as a mainline infantry officer, Gustav's transfer to serve with the regiments artillery compliment was accepted, and he came to command an infantry mortar platoon due to his field experience. Content, he served this role for many more years until he eventually achieved the rank of First Lieutenant, coming to command half of the indirect fire support platoons with another first lieutenant, both under command of Major Fredrick, now deceased.

Several weeks ago was the engagement which saw the 92nd nearly wiped out. Holding out against Tau forces while other guard regiments routed, the 92nd were able to repel the xenos at a costly price. Instead of earning time to recover, the now company force of men were placed under a new regiment to continue their service.
Physical description: Gustav is broad shouldered and stands at 5'10, not quite the model of an officer. Like most Higarans, he sports a brown mustache. Gustav has shrapnel scarring along the left side of his face from an exploded mortar shell, and he counts himself lucky to have not lost his eye. His eyes are green, and are set in a hard and grim gaze.

Company name: Morallis Fighting Third - Once a regiment, suffered extremely heavy casualties in their last crusade-oriented escapade.
Home world: Morallis
Type of Company: Heavy Infantry
Commanding Officer: Major Dimitri Major
Number of Guardsmen: 317
Support: All men are armored in Carapace armor, once a faded blue sheen, it has been commanded to be worn in the coal black of atonement until these men complete this crusade in order to make up for their failure and massive loss of personnel (the Regiment previously numbered in the tens of thousands.). All visors have an interface to allow them to view the sight of the weapon; each helmet is outfitted with standard vox uplinks and rebreather apparatuses. Dimitri Major's and the few other remaining sergeants' and lieutenants' visors are outfitted with tactical displays which allow them to keep track of their men.
Almost every man is equipped with a hotshot lasgun; the majority of men equipped with these weapons survived the last crusade. Those that did not have such weaponry were able to salvage the weapons of their superiors. Each is outfitted with a simple scope that interfaces with their helmets' visors, a bayonet - some chain, some simply of monomolecular make - and expanded power packs. Sidearms are a mixture of laspistols, hellpistols, plasma pistols, flamer pistols, and others.
The company makes use of approximately forty plasma guns, twenty melta guns, fifteen missile launchers, a number of grenade launchers - some integrated into hotshot lasguns - an unknown number of flamers, often integrated into the hotshot lasguns as a last-resort attachment, and a single squad of men equipped with long-lases and conventional sniper rifles.
Grenades are roughly evenly dispersed amongst the men, men with launchers obviously having more. Grenades are predominantly fragmentation, though krak grenades are somewhat common as well - at least one man in each squad should have one. Lieutenants and sergeants are often given small quantities of hallucinogenic or flash grenades.
The regiment never made use of heavy weapons like heavy bolters, lascannons, and autocannons. As such, the now company has no access to such weapons. The company also has little access to transports beyond those provided by the Munitorum and the "Mother" Company, likely from an armor company.
Miscellaneous info: The Morallis Fighting Regiments number forty-and-seven. They draw directly from the Morallis system, which, having no Space Marine chapters claiming any recruits, is able to put the cream of the crop into the ranks of their famed regiments. The Morallis Fighting First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth see the majority of the fighting. To these men, honor ranks above all - or at least, it did. For their failure, their armor has been recolored charcoal black, the color of penance within the system of Morallis. The Fighting Third now simply carries that name temporarily as a new Fighting Third is being formed at their home. Forbidden to show any signs of their home besides a single banner, they are simply marked with their Munitorum tracking codes. Once proud, they now simply fight on. All veterans, and equipped exceedingly well, they have accepted the reality of their situation and now do as they are told. While some of their previous glory hunter fire remains inside, it would take a truly heroic situation to reignite such a fire.

-Company Commander info-

Name: Dimitri Major
Age: 46
Gender: M
Rank: Major - promoted in the field due to his senior officers almost all being dead, he is now the highest ranking officer of the company, and the promotions have been authorized by both the Morallis Regimental Command and the Munitorum.
Background: Born on the world of Morallis, Dimitri was a man of honor and pride. Honor and pride are everything to a Morallan man; a man of Morallis is a man who's life revolves around his own honor, his regiment's honor, his family's honor, and his planet's honor. There are forty-seven Morallan regiments; within the Morallis Fighting First through Twelve you are almost only able to serve if you are a battle-hardened veteran or a member of the royal families.

Serving for thirty-one years, since he was fifteen, Dimitri has served in the Forty Seventh, the Forty Second, the Thirty Fifth, the Twenty Ninth, the Sixteenth, Fifteenth, Fourteenth, and Thirteenth, before finally being promoted to serving in the honored Third. He has a very large variety of combat honors and medals. His body has very few apparent injuries, and he has undergone almost no rejuvenat procedures. Despite this, due to the extremely well-chosen genes of almost every Morallan family, he does not show the fact that he has seen almost five decades of life in this cruel universe.

Dimitri's regiment was torn apart - they have been reduced to 317 men. Their previous pride and glory-hounding attitude has been almost completely broken in twain. They now fight to recant their failures. Their previous failures, while not terrible by most standards, were far greater than any that a Morallis regiment had suffered. Reduced in numbers, they are essentially a placeholder for the next Fighting Third which is being trained and built back in their home system.

Physical description:

He has an amount of battle scarring, though not a terribly high level. Standing at an average five-foot-eleven, he is not well-shaven, though his hair is kept to the length shown in the picture. His eyes still retain much of the sheen that they had when he was younger, though he now has an obvious feel of a man who has seen much warfare.

His armor is outfitted as previously stated. He carries the power sword of his CO, whom gave it to him as part of the promotion, which is named Legate. He also carries a hellpistol, attached by a closely hooked cable to a small power pack between his shoulder blades, giving him a hulking appearance in his armor. He carries a hotshot lasgun, though he rarely uses it. He carries two fragmentation grenades at his belt along with a single krak grenade and a single flash grenade.

Company name: Tenebraen 7^th "Boogeymen" Night-Fighters
Home world: Tenebrae
Type of Company: Abhuman
Commanding Officer: Major Gustaf Johansen
Number of Guardsmen: 701
Support: 7 Leman Russ Vanquishers, 1 Valdor Tank Hunter (recovered from Chaos forces), 97 missile launchers, 40 Sentinals (Armageddon Pattern), melta bombs, plasma guns, flamers, etc.
Uniforms: This, but black with white and grey as secondary colors. Wear welding googles when in the light and not wearing the gasmasks to protect sensitive eyes.
Miscellaneous info: Nightsider abhumans with pale, chalk white skin, pointed teeth, wiry build, and sensitive eyes possessing night-vision and yellow sclera. Typical hair colors are white, grey, and black. Other then that are the same as normal humans. Prefer stealthy night fighting, with hit-and-run and terror tactics. Lack heavy weaponry due to set-up time, with the exception of rocket launchers. Vehicles fulfill anti-armor role. Due to clerical error their regiment isn't listed as Abhuman, so many aren't aware of this until they actually see their faces, which isn't helped by the fact that they typically wear gasmasks.

Company Commander info:
Name: Gustaf Johansen
Age: 24
Rank: Major
Background: Grew up in the perpetual darkness of his homeworld, where it was eternal night due to non-stop cloud coverage and dust clouds brought on by Warp anomalies . Was originally a 2^nd Lieutenant, got promoted to Captain after the death of his superiors, Captain Collins and 1^st Lieutenant Green, during the fighting on LV-426. Killed a Lictor by ramming it with a mining vehicle. Was afterwards promoted to Major by armchair generals that were unaware of his Abhuman status.
Physical description: Lean, dark grey hair, otherwise normal for his kind. Stands at just over 6 feet in height.

Company name: Goda 1st Heavy Armoured Company, 8th Regiment, "Iron Lollipop"/"Iron Bludgeons"
Home world: Goda
Type of Company: Heavy armour
Commanding Officer: Captain Oron
Number of Guardsmen: 72 men, 20 women
Support (Weapons, vehicles, etc): 2 macharius heavy tanks, Macharius vanquisher, 4 chimera, 10 trojans, 1 samaritan ambulance, and one(1) Manticore missile. This is plan B.
Uniforms: None really, but you'll know it when you see a guy walking around in ornately-decorated hodge-podge used for armor. The tanks are painted a deep red, and decorated with art and flags. You know, for science.
Miscellaneous info: Goda soldiers maintain their own armor. Their armor is a custom heirloom (or more often not, considering life expectancy) passed down in the family, often incorporating pieces of clothing from past tours. As such it is not unknown for an ornate breastplate to be made from carapace armor, or for a mask from, say, a Skavakor regiment to be worn by a Goda soldier.

In case you're wondering, the nickname "Iron Lollipop" is because of a mistranslation from low gothic, but the Goda found it cute so they let it stick.

Name: Leyisu Oron
Age: 50
Gender: Male
Rank: Captain
Background: Leyisu yada yada yada, from a feudal Knight World, yada yada yada, father was a monk, yada yada yada, Officer School. So Then-Lieutenant Oron was a tank commander in the 8th until his unit led a decisive charge against orks on the Planet Kharkohf at the age of 29, at which point he was promoted to captain and given the 4th armoured company to pimp around in(Sic.).

After a few years of commanding the 4th armoured company(9 years) Oron was transferred to the 1st armoured company, a Baneblade and a full squadron of Macharius tanks supported by Trojans, atlas, and armoured fist squads. However, came Planet Morgoth when the 8th Regiment was decimated by the Ork WAAAGH!!! Segga, leading to the capture of the baneblade and a Macharius, the destruction of most of the logistical support, the deaths of all supoorting infantry, and the combining of the remnants of the first armored company with the second, a lone Macharius Vanquisher, four Chimeras, a single manticore missile with no launcher (for some reason), and two Trojans. And that's why the captain is sulking like a techpriest about a goddamn tank.
Physical description:WYSIWYG. Also, replace his right arm with a bionic with built-in hellpistol, because it looks like he's force-choking you whenever he blows you to bits.

If they're from a feudal world, why are they a tank company?

[The Empire of Pretantia]

If they're from a feudal world, why are they a tank company?

Their regiments are supplied by a nearby forge world that also takes noblemen from the planet and uses them as knight pilots. Wait, sorry, I was thinking of Knight worlds. Crap, stop the presses, gotta edit...

Company Commander info:
Name: Commander Jason Murrik
Age: 37
Rank(Preferably something below Colonel): Commander
Background: Jason has had a love for destroying things and fighting ever since he was a child. It was only natural for him to join Trovik Imperial guard at the age of 16, and join the Sapper regiment. He has served in the 51st for his entire military career and is known for being both a hard ass, and strong leader under pressure. He has seen conflict in many tours, and is a hardened battle vet.

Now that his beloved regiment has been destroyed by the Ork Waagh!, he has vowed revenge on them and will stop at nothing to kill the Waagh!'s Warboss. Currently he resides with the 27th but holds little to no loyalty to them, for he feels as though they could have done something to save his regiment, and instead did nothing.

-Company Commander info-

Name: Gilbert Maddur
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Rank: Colour Sergeant
Background: Gilbert Maddur is the son of a wealthy Rogue Trader and a Governor's daughter, because of this he had a very privileged lifestyle and attended a Tactical Academy on a world not too far from Kertroosel, at the Academy he learnt common Imperial tactics, procedures and rules, after graduation he went back to his homeworld with a commission as a Colour Sergeant in the PDF, quite an honourable position.

After realising there were no units that needed an extra Colour Sergeant, he and a group of other Academy Graduates raised funds to purchase a dozen armoured vehicles and petitioned the Governor for permission to found a new unit, which was accepted, the Armoured Division had been founded and the Governor appointed his son as General of the unit, but he was an able commander so there were no real complaints.

The next five years went by quickly and uneventfully, there were only a few minor skirmishes with Pirates, Slavers and a few groups of Heretics, nothing too serious, but when a minor Tyranid fleet arrived at a nearby system, all available units were rushed to the scene, during the three year long battle for Travolta IV all of the units Chimeras were destroyed and they started relying on tanks built just behind the frontlines by engineers, they were no where near as good as a proper Chimera, but they were better then nothing, the new versions was simple to operate and replacements could be trained much faster then before.

The aftermath of the battle was horrendous, hundreds of millions dead, the world of Travolta IV cracked in half in an attempt to stop the Hive-Mind creatures from spreading, the Armoured Division down to only fifteen hundred men, but the Tyranids were destroyed so it was counted as an Imperial victory.
After that great battle, the next six years were frustratingly uneventful, only an Orkish WAAAGH!!! or two to fight off, though that was probably for the best, much of Kertroosel's manpower goes into agricultural or pastoral activities, after the loss of so many men so recently, they could hardly afford to reinforce the unit, and so they rarely gave them any tough nuts to crack.

The next year was not so peaceful, a Khorne worshipping cult sprung up on the inhabited fourth planet in the Kertroosel system, Evan, they quickly destroyed much of the planet and the Imperial citizens were slaughtered or converted, obviously the rest of the region was worried by this and again, all available troops were sent in, this battle was much shorter than the battle for Travolta IV, the infantry simply went down to the world and rounded up as many proper Imperial citizens as they could for evacuation, unfortunately there were only a few hundred that could be saved, but that's life.

After the evacuation was completed, the army got back on their ships and waited in orbit, blockading the planet until the navy could arrive in force to execute Exterminatus, during that time several escape runs by the Khornite forces were fought off, with the loss of several ships, but they were held on the world for long enough and the navy arrived and used Cyclonic torpedoes to ignite the atmosphere, leaving the world unliveable.

At the end of this short campaign, the unit was down to only a few men with only four tanks, not really an effective size for a unit, but that is a common thing in the Imperium so they were combined with two other, equally destroyed units to form a company sized force, which is not a very effective unit as well, but it's a hell of a lot better then just four tanks, the 9302/4925/KOM Company has been involved in no actions to date, but with the Crusade against the Tau, even small units such as this are needed as reinforcements.

As Co-OP, I just need to point out a few errors.

For one, there is no Armored/Infantry company (regiment technically, but here we are companies). An Infantry company may have armored support and vice-verse, but they are not combined. Another thing, what's up with the Tiger and T-34 models? Military equipment is already pretty defined in W40K besides uniforms. New technology does no just pop up.

While not impossible, it is very unlikely that your character would execute commanding officers and commissars for cowardice. Those have to be some severely deficient commissars to be cowards and not glory hounds or hard assess.

Also, not sure what is going on here, but court-martial is death in the Imperial Guard pretty much. In 40K, killing your superiors never has a good reason:

of carrying out the orders and so he was court-martialed, although instead of being shot on a firing squad and so his entire company he took promotion and merged some other broken units into his own, but still killing your superiors even for a good reason is still unacceptable he and his unit was allowed to live in exchange they participate to Lord-General Yillm Cobans’ crusade in the Sagittarius Arm of Segmentum Ultima until to victory or death....

And one last thing which is not too bad, you seem to put commas all over the place and leave out a few words.
