The Avernite Helguard are considered to be the best grenadiers formation in the Imperial Trust by a large margin. These centuries old veterans of the Eternal War are incredibly trained and highly experienced soldiers whose skill brushes against the limits of human. Due to their comparatively low numbers the Helguard are deployed in Divisions or specialist brigades.

The New Model Army has the Helguard acting as an elite for the rest of your forces, fighting at the pinnacle of their particular roles.

Infiltrators mostly consist of Phase-Tigers, Recon Armoured Infantry and Stealth Battlesuits but will also come with cloaked vehicles and stealth shuttles for deployment.

### Helguard Beastmaster Division

Beastmaster Divisions consist mostly of various Avernite Warbeasts supported by infantry and armour. These formations are built around the sheer melee combat capacity of many Avernite Warbeasts, and the force of the Thundabeasts charge.
