Origins & History

Pre-fall into chaos, the Grey Regulars were a typical PDF army. Conditions on Dengamar Prime are harsh, consisting of a large desert super continent and a vast ocean. Soil was non-existent and the coast was battered by hurricanes while the interior suffered from large sandstorms and high temperatures. During the early history of the regiment, they would defend against pirates and ork raiders that would come across the isolated Dengamar system. 

 

In M38, the construction of the Palace of Glass was commissioned. This coincided with the founding of the Palace Guard units of the Grey Regulars. These were highly trained elite corps of Grey Regulars similar in vein to the Cadian Kasrkin, although due to Dengmar’s location and resource availability were not as well equipped.

 

The Fall to Chaos

Throughout the millennium the Greygar Sub-Sector would become more and more unstable with the Octarius War. Sometime in late M41 the Palace Guard would fall under the command of Gul Dumir. Gul Dumir was a capable military leader, but would later be corrupted by the influence of a witch coven known as the “Bloodspeakers”. With unnatural charisma, he was able to influence the Lord Governor to vastly expand the weapon infrastructure of the Palace of Glass, as well as increasing the armoured assets of the palace guard. 

 

In 998.M41, Gul Dumir would enact his coup upon the Dengamar government. He would anoint The Grey Regulars as Bloody Greys and start a systemic purge of the planet’s forces and administration. Most of the noble houses either were in league with the Dumir coup or were caught so unaware by the plot that they were destroyed with very little resistance. Loyalist forces put up a valiant fight against the Bloody Greys but most were driven to the wastes of the super continent.

 

Combat Doctrine

The Blood Greys are urban siege specialists due to their training as a palace guard force. Preferring close quarters and brutal assaults. While using armour assets as suppression units. The Bloody Greys also use Bloodspeakers acolytes, psykers who ensure command and control through psychic coercion and domination.The regiment also use creatures known as “Blood Brutes”. These are individuals that have been infused by the warp to gain giant strength and proportions.Usually standing 3 meters tall and utterly insane. They are typically used as shock assault troops

Thanks!

I have been working on this project since 2010. Finished models will eventually appear in my blog. I'm just currently on my World Eaters right now
