List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Savlar Chem-Dogs: The Savlar Chem-Dogs are Penal Legion regiments that serve within the Imperial Guard. They draw their recruits from the prisons on the inhospitable penal world of Savlar by the promise that they will be allowed to keep anything they take from the battlefield, as well as the chance to get away from Savlar's highly toxic environment. Though these Guard regiments are primarily composed of immoral, desperate cut-throats, they have been forged into an effective fighting force, and are some of the most hard-bitten, tenacious and outright dirty fighters in the Imperium of Man.
List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Scintillan Fusiliers: The Scintillan Fusiliers are the elite regiments of the Imperial Guard raised from the Hive World of Scintilla, the capital world of the Calixis Sector of the Segmentum Obscurus. The Guardsmen of these elite combined arms regiments are drawn from the best that the Scintillan nobility has to offer. These forces are composed of the pampered sons and daughters of idle Scintillan nobility who receive the finest training and equipment the Departmento Munitorum has to offer. These pampered sons and daughters of idle nobility receive the finest training, are equipped with the highest quality wargear, and are assigned to the most prestigious billets in the Spinward Front. These facts, along with the habit of those in the Scintillan Fusiliers at large of looking down upon and condescending towards anyone of lesser breeding, has given this regiment a decidedly unsavoury reputation among the Imperial Guard at large.

Deep strike assaults, reconnaissance, infiltration, sabotage, and airborne insertion are just a few of the special missions with which Storm Troopers are regularly tasked.

They are patient, determined and utterly ferocious in pursuit of their enemies. Tallarn are all accomplished riders, and often will use riding mounts to move from battle to battle, dismounting only when they are close to the enemy and wish to employ stealth.

List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Tangar Woad Warriors: The Tangar Woad Warriors are regiments of the Imperial Guard raised on the Feral World of Tangar. As their name suggests, Woad Warriors disdain armour and most clothing, preferring to paint themselves with intricate and stylised magical designs in woad (a blue dye) to deflect enemy blows and projectiles. The patterns created can be elaborate and almost inhuman, and are supposed to be unnerving for enemies unused to such savage practices. These Guardsmen maintain the heretical belief that magic also armours the Woad Warriors against fear, and makes them savage, dangerous and not-quite controllable fighters. But these heretical beliefs have mostly been replaced through indoctrination in the orthodox beliefs of the Imperial Cult. These savage warriors hold that belief itself will conquer bullets and laser blasts.

During this Imperial Crusade, the world of Tanith was destroyed by the forces of the Archenemy. The Tanith 1st Regiment earned their ironic moniker "Gaunt's Ghosts" as a result of the name of their commanding officer, Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt, and the disenfranchised status of the original Tanith soldiers after the destruction of their homeworld. It has proven to be an appropriate nickname of some further application, as the Verghastite personnel influx into the regiment also considered themselves "ghosts" due to the destruction of their home hive city. The regiment is noted for uncanny stealth and reconnaissance capabilities. Amongst the most noteworthy adversaries of the Tanith First are the Blood Pact and the Sons of Sek.

They are particularly successful at cold weather combat and are often used by the Imperium when a campaign of attrition must be fought on an Ice World that is similar in climate to their frigid homeworld or when an operation involves combat against Orks.

One notable unit is the 254th Varolian Heavy Tank Company, known as the "Steel Dogs." They are unusual in that they have several Leman Russ Vanquishers instead of the standard Leman Russ tank.

List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Ventrillian Nobles: The Ventrillian Nobles are a Militarum Regimentum of the Astra Militarum. On the wealthy jewel world of Ventrillia, those that withstand the subterranean coming-of-age ritual known as the "Trial of the Lava Lakes" enjoy a wealth that is more than sufficient to buy their way out of the Astra Militarum a dozen times over. But Ventrillia has a proud military culture, with a history of duelling that stretches back to pre-Imperial times, and few Nobles would risk the dishonour of giving up their commissions. Instead, they "donate" their wealth to Departmento Munitorum officials and Rogue Traders in exchange for assignments and passage to war zones rich in adventure and glory, rather than simply being fed to the Imperial meat grinder. When the Nobles go to war they do so armed not only with a Lasgun and bayonet, but also an ancestral duelling sword, quickblade or heavy Zweihander. Ventrillia's rarest gemstones are of great value to the Adeptus Mechanicus, both for manufacturing and research purposes. To secure a steady supply of these jewels, the Tech-priests ensure that Ventrillia and its regiments are always supplied with an abundance of super-heavy tanks.

The Imperial Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum are recruited from hundreds of thousands of Imperial worlds across the galaxy, and each regiment has its own customs and traditions as a result. The Guardsmen recruited from Vigilus were known for one thing above all -- their unwavering faith in the Emperor.
List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Vintor Regiments: The Vintor Regiments are the regiments of the Imperial Guard raised from the world of Vintor. It is not uncommon for a newly founded regiment's number to be recycled following its destruction, a new raising taking the designation of their predecessor. In this way the regiment is re-founded, the new recruits tasked with upholding the honour and traditions of the lost regiment. One notable regiment, the Vintor 823rd, continued to serve the Emperor in the late 41st Millennium, despite being wiped out on more than nine different occasions in the span of a single decade.
List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Vitrian Dragoons: The Vitrian Dragoons are regiments of the Imperial Guard raised on the vast arid Desert World of Vitria. The Dragoons stem from a martial culture formed entirely around the Vitrian Honour Code, the Byhata, an ancient treatise on warfare. Every Vitrian Trooper carries his own copy of the Byhata on his person at all times, even into combat. Tradition states that the Byhata should be carried in a special pocket under the trooper's armour, directly over his heart. Every copy of the Byhata is fitted with a lock that is gene-coded to the owner, so that only he may open the book. In the Vitrian culture, it is a capital offence for anyone other than a Vitrian to gain access to or read the Byhata. The Dragoons are heavy infantry regiments and have a Storm Trooper-mentality, constantly firing their laser weapons on the highest setting, as it states in the Byhata that one should always strive to make both the first strike and the last one. While this means that each shot is more likely to penetrate armour and inflict greater tissue damage on the target, it also means they deplete their las-clips far more quickly than other regiments with a more measured approach. Vitrian Dragoons wear specially fitted armor formed from the metallic glass that their homeworld is famous for. This glass armour gives the Vitrian Dragoons extraordinary protection, especially against energy weapons. At the flip of a switch on the waist, the glass pieces of the armour will rotate in place to present the much darker underside, providing the Vitrians with effective nighttime camoflauge. Regiments of Vitrian Dragoons have fought in many warzones across the Imperium. Vitria sent multiple regiments, including the 2nd Vitrian (Mobile), 10th Vitrian (Armoured Brigade), and the 161st Vitrian (Heavy Support), in support of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, a massive Imperial Crusade fought over the course of more than 23 standard years between 755.M41 and 778.M41, to help retake the Sabbat Worlds Sector located at the rimward edge of the Segmentum Pacificus from the heretical forces of Chaos.

Waged over many decades, this ongoing Crusade has consumed millions of lives and devastated dozens of worlds
List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Volpone Regiments: The Volpone Regiments, known also as the Royal Volpone, are regiments of the Imperial Guard raised on the Civilised World of Volpone. The 50th Volpone, known as the "Bluebloods," were sent in support of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, a massive Imperial Crusade fought over the course of more than 23 standard years between 755.M41 and 778.M41, to help retake the Sabbat Worlds Sector located at the rimward edge of the Segmentum Pacificus from the heretical forces of Chaos. In 999.M41, both the Royal Volpone 23rd and 50th Regiments were sent to support the valiant defence of Cadia and its surrounding systems during the 13th Black Crusade against the forces of Chaos commanded by Abaddon the Despoiler.
List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Volscani Cataphracts: The Volscani Cataphracts are Traitor Imperial Guard Regiments that fought with the forces of Chaos, under the command of Abaddon the Despoiler during the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41. During the outset of Abaddon's invasion of Cadia, treachery struck at the heart of the Imperium's defences. As the defenders of the Cadian Gate mustered at the Tyrok Fields, the traitorous Imperial Guard regiments of the Volscani Cataphracts revealed their true allegiance to the Ruinous Powers. The Traitors slaughtered hundreds of loyal Guardsmen before any response could be coordinated. The intent of the Volscani's treason was revealed as they swarmed aboard the Leviathan command vehicle of the Governor Primus of Cadia and proceeded to slaughter him and much of the senior command of Cadia's armed forces. This included the commander-in-chief of the defenders of the Cadian Gate, who was killed in the brutal attack. At the darkest moment, then-Colonel Ursarkar E. Creed took control of the dire situation. Rallying his 8th Cadian Regiment, the bloodied defenders were quickly organised and ordered to advance upon the Traitors. The 8th Cadian led the charge into the ranks of the traitorous Volscani. Through Creed's actions, what might have been a grievous defeat for the Imperium, and a nefarious victory for the hordes of the Archenemy, was turned into a defining moment for the defenders of Cadia.
