Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) X1 Leman Russ Exterminator X2 Salamander Scout Tanks X3 Scout Sentinels X3 Armored Fist Squads The Recon Platoon is outside of any of the 6 regular battle companies that make up the regiment and its units are often split up to support different elements of the regiment. The Platoon's 1st LT was killed at the beginning of their campaign against the Dark Eldar when shrapnel decapitated him in the back of his Salamander, the Platoon is currently under the command of 1st Sgt Jeridan Jardeen commander of the Leman Russ Exterminator known as The Emperor's Trident and is made up of 9 vehicles and 3 infantry squads. Jardeen often leads reconnaissance enforce missions from his vehicle with an Armored Fist Squad following close behind, with either Salamanders or Sentinels covering their flank. Jardeen often orders his forces to engage enemy dispositions they come across "In order to better gauge the strength of the enemy positions" The battle companies consist of 6 armored fist squads, each. 3 utilizing Chimeras, and 3 utilizing Tauroxes.

Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) The planet of Arkapel has been in a civil war for the last 10 decades, granting them a rare reprieve from providing their tithe, but that all changed when the Returned Son embarked on his indomitus crusade. Arkapel was forced to provide 6 regiments, a mediator from the Administratum oversaw talks between the two sides, each would provide 3 regiments equipped and trained how they saw fit. the Bostigian faction provided the 1st, 3rd, and 5th regiments. the Cubridians provided the 2nd, 4th and 6th. the 1st is a mechanized force with some unusual support platoons. the 3rd is a standard infantry regiment the 5th is an armored regiment with a support artillery company. the two sets of regiments almost always deploy to the different planets to minimize the chances of the two sides being in the same theater together.

Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) The Bostigian Autocracy typically send their sons to cavalry boarding schools at the age of 16. there these autocratic young men learn to break their massive mounts, with the head and neck of an avian raptor and the body and legs of a very large felid. upon graduation on their 20th year, these men join the defense forces and form a corps of elite if traditional heavy cavalry and dragoons.

Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) Due to the 1st’s experience in amphibious operations and gaining footholds and securing beachheads for follow on forces to stage from, the 1st require their own support company who under understand the specifics of such operations and have trained in close support of the rest of the regiments, including a recon platoon, an armored platoon, a cavalry platoon and an artillery platoon. Each Arkepeli regiment has a cavalry platoon attached to it, so that the elites of their homeworld can gain glory. The autocrats often pull their sons from the regiments to bring them home after roughly two Terran years.

Interesting. So you'll have Warhammer Fantasy and/or Age of Sigmar Hippogryph Knights "count as" Astra Militarum Rough Riders? Will you modify the models, e.g., arm the knights with laspistols, bolt pistols, and chainswords? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do plan on 40kifying them, just not sure. i may end up purchasing the RR kit as well, and us bits from that kit, possibly even the riders themselves if they fit. i love the poleaxes the knights carry, and definitely plan on using them in place of the standard lance.
