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.
