==Regiments and relation==
===Armageddon Steel Legion===
Visuals drawn from the British Army's infantry uniform in World War I (the coats are modelled on the British 1914 Utility Tunic and the gas masks are of the 1916 Box-Respirator type) and the German Paratroops (Fallschirmjäger) of World War II (particularly the Steel Legion's helmet design).
Organization and design are mostly German names with a Panzergrenadier-type organization and vibe of World War II German Army.
===Cadian Shock Troops===
Organization and design mostly by GW but inspired somewhat by the modern United States military.
===Catachan Jungle Fighters===
Organization and design of the Vietnam-era United States military and United States Army Special forces. American names and style.
===Death Korps of Krieg===
Organization and design mostly by GW but inspired by Imperial German Army of WWI and Wehrmacht of WWII but with some French WWI visuals.
===Mordian Iron Guard===
The uniform of the Mordian Iron Guard is loosely based off both the United States Marine Corps Blue Dress uniforms, and potentially the Prussian Lützowsches Freikorps uniform during the Napoleonic Wars.
Organization and design inspired by Prussian Army with some elements of the United States Marines involved.
===Praetorian Guard===
The Praetorian Guard's distinctive look is based on the uniforms worn by the infantry of the British Army who most famously fought in the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. The Praetorian regiment name is derived from the home planet of Praetoria, which is inspired by the South African city of a similar name: Pretoria. This regiment's name is also obviously inspired by the Praetorian Guard which served as the personal bodyguard of the Roman emperors from the time Caesar Augustus formally established the Roman Empire in 27 B.C. until they were disbanded by Constantine I in 312 A.D.
Organization and design inspired by the British Army of the late 19th century.
===Tallarn Desert Raiders===
Organization and design inspired by Arab militaries and Afghan Mujahedeen.
===Valhallan Ice Warriors===
The Valhallan Ice Warriors are based on the appearance and tactics of the Soviet Red Army during the frigid winter campaigns of the Eastern Front during World War II.
Organization and design based on the Soviet Red Army.
===Vostroyan Firstborn===
The Vostroyan Firstborn's distinctive look is based on the archaic uniforms worn by the Cossacks of Russia during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries as well as the uniforms of other European soldiers between the time of the French Revolution in 1789 and the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815.
Organization and design based on the White Army, Cossacks and Imperial Russian Army.
