Further emphasizing force concentration, Grenadier regiments are the most elite armies that can be produced en mass by any given world. When the trust marches to war, the elite Grenadier units will often provide much of their forces killing power. Often either trained from birth or recruited from the very best of the guard, Trust Grenadiers are some of the best purely human infantry in the known galaxy and are equipped with the most advanced weapons and vehicles the trust can produce in meaningful numbers. In the New Model Army all of the Trust's Grenadiers are equipped with with power armour and armed with at least Rail Rifles. These formations also make heavy use of the feared and deadly Avernite warbeasts in battle.

The majority of the Trust's Grenadier formations are modelled at least in part on either the Midgardian Chosen or the Avernite Helltroopers. Many worlds only field a single type of Grenadier formation depending on that particular worlds speciality.

A Grenadier Urban Corps is a formation intended for city fighting and boarding actions, situations where the force concentration of Grenadiers is highly valuable. As such it has comparatively few vehicles for its size, with what vehicles it does have is those that perform well in built-up conditions such as walkers and Leman Russ Demolishers. Instead the Urban Corps has a significant compliment of Avernite warbeasts, whose combination of comparative mobility for their size and melee combat power makes them deadly in city-fighting.

The Urban Corps is the most common form of Grenadiers in the Imperial Trust, mostly due to their dual role in siege and boarding.

### Grenadier Heavy Aggressor Corps

Grenadier Heavy Aggressor Corps are intended to meet the enemy on the field of battle and crush them and make use of a wide array of forces, up to and including superheavy armour. They are often used as line breakers and to crush counter attacks, but can be deployed in most mission roes effectively.

The largest single formation of Grenadiers in the Imperial Trust, the five billion strong Chosen of Midgard are deployed Heavy Aggressor Corps making them the second most common form of Grenadiers in the Imperial Trust.

### Grenadier Light Aggressor Corps

Grenadier Light Aggressor Corps are harassment units that make use of lighter more mobile forces to wear away at their foes. This is a role in which the greater quality of Grenadiers really shines, making these formations one of the key weapons of the Imperial Trust.

## Grenadier Landing Corps

### Grenadier Landing Corps

The Landing Corps are designed to land against massive opposition, take and then fortify ground, a task that often involves massive casualties. This formation is expected to be able to weather AA fire, take out enemy AA positions from either air or ground and take and hold ground against opposition. Landing Forces will land in Hercules Dropships and Phoenix Gunships escorted by fighters and bombers, and deploy a mix of infantry, battlesuits and armour to take and hold ground while some combat engineers set up pre-fabricated fortresses. This is one of the most dangerous specialities in modern warfare, and any landing forces that are deployed for their main duties are expected to suffer crippling losses. As such it attracts only the bravest and most foolhardy of soldiers. Elements of Landing Corps are also used in a more tactical level to open up new fronts and flank enemy armies, a task that they find to be far less dangerous

The Vanir Drop Troopers are the most well known Landing Corps in the Imperial Trust.

## Grenadier Aerial Corps

### Makeup

100,000 Peregrines, 50,000 Firehawks, 50,000 Stormcrows, 5,000 Hugins

The Grenadier Aerial Corps are formations made up of the best pilots in the Imperial Trust equipped with advanced fighters and bombers. These units are deployed to the most vital of air missions, whether it is interception, escorting or attack runs on vital targets.

## Divisions

As well as the Corps some Grenadier formations are deployed in smaller divisions. These divisions generally consist of specialised forces that will be attached to other formations to assist with particular missions.

## Titankiller Division

### Size

9,000 Superheavy Vehicles, 12,000 Tanks

One of the rarest and most expensive formations in the Imperial Trust, Titankiller Divisions are tasked with killings the Gods of War on the Battlefield. As such they are made up mostly of the Fellsword Superheavy Tank and its variants, protected by Testudos to allow them to weather some return fire.

## Crusher Division

### Makeup

10,000 Fellblades, 3,000 Testudos, 3,000 Echidnas

### Size

10,000 Superheavy Vehicles, 6,000 Tanks

The cousins of the Titankiller Divisions, Crusher Divisions are built as the ultimate linebreakers. To fulfill this role they are supplied with a massive number of Fellblade Superheavy Tanks, escorted by Testudos to provide shielding from bombardment and Echidnas to provide AA cover.

## Knight Court

### Size

480 Knight-Titans

The standard formation of the Knights of the Aesir is the Knight Court, four hundred and eighty Knight-Titans of various makes led by a Knight-Prince. This is a powerful and concentrated force that can achieve local dominance against almost any foes, but will need support to take advantage of such dominance.
