5th Chogoris Tumen

The 5th Chogorian Stormguard is one of the hundreds of thousands of the Tumens within the Chogorian Stormguard. The Tumens originates in the Chogoris system, with the tumen's homeworld being the home of the White Scars, Chogoris. The 5th Chogorian Stormguard is often seen fighting alongside the White Scars or defending the Chogoris System against Chaos or the Drukhari. The tumen's homeworld may be Chogoris, but they don't permanently garrison in planets, instead they go on a life of nomadic movement, around the systems. The 5th Chogorian Stormguard is well known for their advanced mechanized cavalry tactics and the high accuracy of their troops.
They often use these tactics to slowly cut down large enemy forces, through harassment, long range firefights, and constant usages of the cavalry ambushes. They are merited amongst the Tumens of Chogoris and through the Astra Militarium for their efficiency and ruthless accuracy. Guardsmen within the Stormguard go through a similar phase as the White Scars, having most of their higher-ranking officers scar themselves. Guardsmen integrate within the Chogoris culture, allowing for better organization and less conflict within the tumen. They often allow the Guardsmen during migration periods to pursue hobbies, like art, archery, calligraphy, etc.
=== Formation ===
The 5th Chogorian Stormguard was one of the original 5 tumens of the Chogorian Stormguard, created by the order of Primarch Jaghatai Khan when Chogoris was integrated within the Imperium of Man. Thousands of warriors across the Chogoris System was recruited to fill in these Tumens. Jaghatai Khan chose the 5 Tumetus himself to command these tumens. Jaghatai Khan chose Qasar Baghatur as the Tumetu for the 5th Chogorian Stormguard, Qasar proved to be the right choice, as he quickly organized the tumen and established its many doctrines. He was one the greatest leaders of the 5th Chogorian Stormguard and is honored throughout the tumen, through all troops have the insignia of Qasar's clan on their armor.
=== Organization ===
The 5th Chogorian Stormguard is commanded by a Tumetu-iin Noyan (Commander). The tumen is a force of 10,000 guardsmen supported over thousand officers and special units. The tumen is divided into 10 Mingghans, which it's further divided into 100 Zuuns. Each Zhuun has 100 guardsmen, with either a Jagun-iin-Darga (Captain) or Jagutu-iin Darga (Lieutenant) leading it. A Mingghan-U Noyan (Major) lead each Mingghans, with two colonels overseeing 5 mingghans respectively. Each Zuun usually equipped with at least 50 motorized vehicles, main consisting of assault bikes or warbikes, because jetbikes are rare to see and horses took too much maintenance for the tumen who are constantly fighting. Further on, the Zuuns are equipped with mobile homes that can house 100 guardsmen. This is used for better mobility when moving across planets during campaign.
=== Special Units ===
==== Qasar's Chosen ====
Qasar's Chosen, named after the tumen's Tumetu Qasar Baghatur. The unit is made up of the Stormguard's best marksmen. The unit is well known for their sniper work. They are notable for assassinating enemy officers, allowing for the rest of the tumen to gain victories. Qasar's Chosen is equipped with modified Long-Las rifles and light weight equipment allowing for better mobility and stealth. They are also equipped with stealth technology that Astartes scouts are usually equipped with.
==== 5th Chogoris Mechanized Cavalry ====
Half of the 5th Chogorian Stormguard is made up of a mechanized cavalry. These troops are specially trained to operate the war bikes and be able to maneuver in extremely high speed. These cavalry forces are pivotal to the success of the Stormguard . Their bikes are outfitted with blades and interchangeable weapons used for frontal charges and some variants have extra seat for a gunner.
==== Heavy Vehicle Corp ====
The 5th Chogorian Stormguard rarely ever use heavy vehicles, due to slow nature of tanks and other large war vehicles. The Tumen needed speed, but when times become dire and they need heavy firepower, they have some different variants of tanks stored in their ship or high-powered artillery. Those tanks and artillery pieces are operated special teams called Nokud Temurs(Iron Warriors). The Nokud Temurs are rare to see in combat and are usually the ones who repair the Tumen's warbikes and help operate the Tumen's ships. They also operate the weapons of the 5th Chogorian Stormguard’s warship. Being Nokud Temurs is seen as a great honor and yet also a great curse. Due to the Nokud Temur's usual inactivity with war, but their major expertise in machinery and other forms of mechanical technology, is seen as a great achievement for a culture who aren't that industrialized in nature.

The Daichi Lasgun has a slower fire rate in exchange for higher powered shots. The weapon has been given a longer barrel replacing the standard the length. The Daichi Lasgun has been seen piercing through low to medium armor and has a range smaller than the Long-Las but longer than standard Lasguns. The Daichi Lasgun has been pivotal in the tactics of the Tumen and aided in many of the victories of the 5th Chogorian Stormguard.
==== Warhawk Long-Las ====
The Warhawk Long-Las is another modified weapon used by the Stormguard. The Warhawk Long-Las uses a similar concept with the Hellgun. The weapon uses specialized barrels and clips to create a powerful sniper for the Qasar's Chosen, the elite snipers of the 5th Chogorian Stormguard. The Warhawk Long-Las can quickly pierce through most heavy armors and can turn flesh quickly into dust or particles. The weapon is mainly used to kill important officers of enemy forces, usually Ork warbosses or Drukhari commanders of varying ranks.

The weapon is equipped with a special receiver that empowers the slugs with the volatile electricity. The slugs once make contact with its target or solid surface, unleashes a powerful blast of electricity and force. Armor gets shattered by the force and the slug penetration, and the skin gets rendered into ash by the electricity. The Tengri Stormgun is usually operated by teams of two and about 5 of them are seen within a Zuun. The weapon mostly used in defensive positions or when a long-range engagement needs to deal with heavy armor.
==== Chogoris Officer Saber ====
Officers within the 5th Chogorian Stormguard and other Chogoris based Astra Militarium units don't use chainswords, but instead Chogoris cavalry sabers created with extremely sharp and durable metal.

=== History ===
==== Founding of the First Five Tumens and the Great Crusade ====
The 5th Chogorian Stormguard, originally was one of the first five tumens/Imperial Army Regiments of Chogoris, formed when the Great Khagan, Jaghatai Khan joined the Great Crusade with the God-Emperor and his siblings. The feudal nature of Chogoris made it hard for many members of the 5th Chogorian Stormguard to comprehend or start using the advanced weapons of the Imperial Army. Qasar Baghutar was more open to the idea of using these weapons and hastily trained and armed his Tumen compared to the other tumens. For many years of their service, the 5th Chogorian Stormguard and all other Tumens acted as normal Imperial Army forces, with no unique tactics or weaponary. Thankfully things would change due to the 5th Chogorian Stormguard's proximity to the White Scars in multiple campaigns. Qasar took the tactics and tradition of Chogoris and the White Scars mixed with the highly advanced weapons and mechanized vehicles, to develop the current doctrine of the Chogorian Stormguard. 5th Chogorian Stormguard faithly served in the Great Crusade all the way up to Ullanor Crusade against the Ork Domain. 
The 5th Chogorian Stormguard alongside the 6th, 7th, 9th, and 21st Chogorian Stormguards were pivotal in crushing mulitple Ork Armies on Ullanor itself, helping break the defenses of the planet. The stormguard later would hunt down Ork warbands across the remnants of the Ork Domain, cutting down their threat, further securing the Imperium of Man. For the period of time between the end of the Ullanor Crusade and the start of the Horus Heresy, the 5th Chogorian Stormguard remained in a nomadic state, wandering the Segmentum Ultima in their warships. Mainly defending planets against external threats, aiding the White Scars in their endeavors.
