Steel Legion

Steel Legion Armageddon

Due to the massive population of Armageddon, Imperial Guard regiments can easily be raised through volunteer efforts, drafts, and even from street gangs. In addition to this, Armageddon is one of the prime manufacturers of the Chimera transport tank for the fighting forces of the Imperium. This means the Imperial Guard forces stationed upon the planet are able to field a large number of these sturdy transport vehicles. These Armageddon Steel Legions make use of air filtration masks as well as the airtight Chimeras to effectively fight in and traverse across the vast ash wastes that surround the hives of Armageddon.

The Steel Legion are renowned for their skill in opposing the Orks on the great ash wastes of their native world. Fully mobile in their Chimera transports, they are able to launch rapid attacks in which the Chimeras overrun the enemy lines before the Steel Legion infantry dismount to finish them off. Fighting in proximity to the great hives of Armageddon, the Steel Legions are sometimes supported by hive militia conscripts eager to join their ranks.
