List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Jouran Dragoons: The Jouran Dragoons are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Civilised World of Jouran. They are notable for possessing a large number of mechanised infantry. The Jouran Dragoons prefer to ride into battle in armoured transports such as the Chimera, and are often seen in the vanguard of Imperial armies supporting other Imperial Guard armoured regiments. Some of these associations stretch back over millennia and the Jourans have participated in the speartip of many great campaigns throughout the Imperium. After a salient has been created by the heavy tanks of their fellow armoured regiments, the Jouran Dragoons speed through the breach to quickly establish a foothold and disrupt the enemy's front lines. The Jouran Dragoons recently committed 7 regiments in the defence of Cadia and its surrounding systems from the forces of Chaos commanded by Abaddon the Despoiler during his 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41. The 383rd Jouran Dragoons were lost during the defence of Hydra Cordatus to Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marine forces.
List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Jumael Volunteers: The Jumael Volunteers are Imperial Guard regiments raised from conscripts taken from the mostly rural farming communities on the verdant Agri-World of Jumael IV. Poorly equipped compared to other regiments, the Jumael make do, wearing heavy vests of ballistic cloth with built-in pectoral protection and flexible shoulder reinforcement. The Jumael 1st Regiment, known as the "Lucky Aces," earned their moniker during the Tywia campaign. They were the only regiment out of three to survive a vicious Warp Storm en route to Tywia. The regiment took part in the retaking of the fortress known as the Ironhide, but in the midst of the battle, a freak earthquake breached its 200 foot high walls. Also during that battle, a lost patrol from the "Aces" came across the fabled Chambers of Gold hidden beneath the fortress.
List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Juno Grand Fusiliers: The Juno Grand Fusiliers are the regiments of the Imperial Guard raised on the world of Juno, the capital planet of the Askellon Sector. Many of those regiments are actually created by taking companies from Juno's Planetary Defence Force, the Grand Army of the Sovereign, usually called just the Grand Army or colloquially as the "Oldbloods." The Grand Army PDF, whose forces make up most of the Juno Grand Fusiliers regiments, is imbued with many standard millennia of tradition, pomp, and grandeur. It has a standing force of several million troops, the majority infantry but including other types from shock cavalry to heavy artillery. Its members are possessed of a fearsome esprit de corps, and many companies are tithed en masse to the world's Astra Militarum regiments such as the Juno Grand Fusiliers, where they find glory across the sector and beyond. Members of the Grand Army wear a distinctive gold-chased cuirass wrought with all manner of ornate texts and traceries, complemented by a spiked helm, tan britches, and sleeves of deepest royal purple. The officers' uniforms are still more refined, with mantles of rare fur and pelisse jackets, resplendent with gleaming golden buttons and braided fasteners. Though the Oldbloods might be mistaken for mere ceremonial troops intended more for showy displays of power than actual combat, nothing could be further from the truth. The Grand Army is highly experienced, its units bearing the brunt of the near-constant purges of the ruined wastes in order to cull the populations of mutants and recidivists that lurk within. Furthermore, because the world has been invaded so many times throughout its long history, the Grand Army has developed a deeply-ingrained institutional memory. It has at some point in the past fought against almost every enemy of Mankind, and retains much of the knowledge on how to do so again. Despite its splendour and status, the Grand Army is regarded with deep contempt by the average member of the citizenry of Juno. Oldbloods are often used to bolster the planetary Enforcers of Juno known as the The Vigil when large-scale civil disorder threatens the status quo. With the world and the sector at large experiencing a slow, inexorable slide into damnation and anarchy, instances of such disorder grow ever more frequent, and the Grand Army has recently engaged in several pitched battles against large, armed groups of rebels in the depths of the ruin-strewn wastes.
List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Justus Regiments: The Justus Regiments are regiments of the Astra Militarum raised on the Civilised World of Justus. Collectively known as the "Emperor's Shield," these regiments are known to be highly-decorated.

Imperial forces surrounded Jourmall Hive and a six-solar-week bombardment was commenced. An Emperor's Shield Regiment massed its armoured company, which included Hellhounds and flamer-equipped Leman Russ Demolishers.

Their talent for slaughter quickly found its way into the Imperial Guard, where considerable tolerance for their feral tactics has been seen.

Quickly redeploying alongside the God-engines of theImperial Hunters andLegio Pallidus Mor, the 66th fought valiantly for the safeguarding of their homeworld, only to discover that vast sways of its population had been corrupted by the primises of the Blood God, Khorne.

List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Kronus Regiments: The Kronus Regiments are Imperial Guard regiments raised from the Civilised World of Kronus, located in the Lithesh Sector of the Ultima Segmentum.

The 10th Logres fought alongside the Ultramarines 4th Company, commanded by Captain Uriel Ventris, in the valiant defence of this Imperial world. Though the planet was saved and the 10th Logres survived the battle, their commander perished in a final act of heroic self-sacrifice. Colonel Rabelaq commanded his regiment from the relative safety of a Capitol Imperialis, a massive super-heavy tank often utilised as a mobile command base. During the defence of the capital city of Erebus, Rabelaq ordered his vehicle to charge into the enemy to protect the rear flank of the 993rd Death Korps of Krieg Regiment. Though the Krieg regiment was saved from destruction, the Rabelaq's Capitol Imperialis was surrounded by thousands of Tyranid bioforms. Firing upon a massive Tyranid Bio-Titan, the enraged creature knocked the Imperial vehicle on its side. As the Tyranids tore into the vehicle's hull, Colonel Rabelaq ordered the city's Defence Cannons to fire on his vehicle's exposed Plasma Reactor, and the resultant explosion vaporised everything within a 500-metre-radius, fatally wounding the Bio-Titan.

A few companies of the Lostock 23rd were involved in a key experiment carried out by the Tech-priests of the Magos Biologis. They surgically modified these selected Guardsmen with drug-secreting glands that allowed them to resist the debilitating effects of the Tyranid Hive Mind and to help them survive unprotected in the highly toxic biosphere of Dantis III, as well as boosting their combat abilities and aggressiveness. Dantis III was eventually scoured of the Tyranid menace, but the Lostock 23rd was utterly annihilated. Only three of these so-called Gland Warriors are believed to have survived the conflict. After the successful defence of Dantis III, these survivors were taken by the agents of the Inquisition for debriefing and study.

Imperial High Command believes that soldiers from this mining world represent an effective reserve to bolster worlds within the Spinward Front where other regiments seem to under-perform. The Luggnum Sewer Rats 3rd regiment was assigned to the world of Hervara, dividing the regiment into several battle groups, which were each assigned to different campaigns within the ongoing conflict.

List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Maccabian Janissaries: The Maccabian Janissaries are an elite Imperial Guard regiment united by their zealous faith in the God-Emperor and composed of the finest members of the Maccabian militia raised from the world of Maccabeus Quintus who follow in the footsteps of their great patron, the Imperial Saint Drusus. These regiments hail from the blessed world of Maccabeus Quintus, an arid and bitterly cold Shrine World located in the Calixis Sector, where the great General Drusus fell and was raised up as a saint by the glory of the Emperor during the Angevin Crusade which conquered the Calixis Sector for the Imperium. This harsh world is not blessed because of the resources it possesses (which are few), or because of the climate (which is harsh), but because of the faith that grows there in abundance. A site of pilgrimage for the Imperial Cult's faithful across the Calixis Sector, this Shrine World has a significant military tradition all its own. These pilgrims form the core of the Maccabian militias, the Planetary Defence Force of the Shrine World, the finest of which are chosen to become Maccabian Janissaries. Like Saint Drusus, they defend or expand the Imperium in battle, which is regarded as the most pious form of worship of the God-Emperor. To date, none have refused this honour, for all are driven by faith and the spirit of pilgrimage. To become a Janissary is to embark upon a sacred pilgrimage of a different sort, carrying the Emperor's wrath to dark and distant places.

The Redcowls are often placed on the front line, where they burn a path through the foe to create room for their allies. They are deployed sparingly in defensive operations, usually on planets that are considered irretrievable by the Imperium of Man, as the firestorms they create are too destructive to be used on densely populated or high-value worlds.
