>3 Imperial Guard Regiment. A true regiment, drilled and competent in their service

No mere PDF unit or Penal formation are we. Our Guardsmen are an honest to Emperor Guard Regiment, with all of the duties, deployments and realities that implies. One of countless.

That said, many Guard Regiments have different ways of recruiting soldiers.


What is ours?

Hopefully brainwashing.

>>96503763
>Caste-born: Raised from birth as the warrior caste of their society, these soldiers make up in training and pedigree what they lack in experienced.
>This also means we take Elite Tithe by default

Our Homeworld seems to have a Caste System in place, formalizing societal functions at birth.

In our Regiment’s case, this has meant that fulfilling our obligation to the Imperium has come in the form of the cream of our Warrior Caste.

Born to battle, trained to War, our Guardsmen have know from birth what is expected of them.

Hopefully they honor that expectation

Now then, speaking of our Homeworld…what is it? What type of world?

>>96503915
>Agri-World: Sturdy, hard-working types, glad to be off the farm.

Some men are meant to till the soil their entire lives(or operate enormous machinery etc), and our Homeworld is a productive Agriworld.

As an Agriworld, it is charged with providing enormous amounts of foodstuff material to the Imperium at large, with the entire planet’s primary function being this.

Of course, it is unlikely our Guardsmen have ever touched a shovel or hoe in their lives, being Warrior Caste.

While the Farmer caste produces the material, they can count on us to have their backs if danger calls. Fair, right?

Still, what else do we know about home?

>Agriworld that’s also a Jungle/Swamp world…maybe we grow Fruit? lol

Our home planet is covered in hot, humid swamps and/or jungles, not exactly what one thinks of when the term “Agriworld” is thrown around, but clearly the bounty we produce is great enough to earn that official stamp of designation.

In any case, our Guardsmen have dealt with their share of tropical diseases as a result, and aren’t going to pass out and die from some pussy shit like Malaria

Now then, that’s Home, but what about the Regiment itself? Our Warrior Caste troopers have a favored, core unit type

>Infantry Regiment: Large groups of on-foot infantry of all stripes comprise the core of this Regiment's forces. Who needs vehicles when you've enough bodies to drown the enemy? Can also be referred to as Line Infantry or Medium Infantry

Sweet and simple eh? We are an Infantry Regiment, the backbone of the Astra Militarum as a whole. Those who oppose us face the lasguns and courage of the Imperial Guard!

Of course, just because we are an Infantry Regiment, that doesn’t necessarily mean our only strategy is drowning the enemy in bodies.

How do we prefer to fight? What’s our niche?

>Counter: Trained and organised to fight a specific foe. They're good at breaking them over their knee, but tend to struggle, or rather show aggressive mediocrity, against other foes.

>I suppose it will be whoever we roll on the Enemy table later?

Most intriguing! Our Regiment seems to have adapted to fighting a specific enemy. Whether that be a Xenos race, the forces of a specific Chaos god, or something else, we are known for that.

Of course, being specialists, we have become somewhat lacking in other war fields. This doesn’t mean we cannot be used outside our niche enemy, but a wise commander would certainly remember what our purpose is.

Now then, the Imperial Cult is an ever present force in the Imperium, and the Imperium is a demanding mistress

Our regiment can best be described as fanatical devotees of the Imperial doctrine. Raised from birth to fight, our caste-guardsmen know what is expected, and Who expects it. Because He does.

The Emperor!

With that settled, many Regiments pick up unusual gear or equipment over years of service. What’s ours?

Just a bunch of elite guard used to fighting in the swamps and jungles of their homeworld. Probably some pest or predator that runs rampant. A constant battle to claim? Reclaim their world. But whatever it is they're more than qualified to handle this one type of foe.

Not so much elite guardsmen as professional big? game hunters, or bug squashers.

At least they're loyle. Have a roll

>>96504168
>Rare Heavy Weapon: The regiment has access to some rare weapon that the rest of the Guard lacks, like heavy plasma cannons or more esoteric devices such as grav-guns.


Our Regiment is lucky enough to have gotten its hands on some rather non-standard issue heavy weapons. How we managed to arrange this is less important than the fact that we have them-and undoubtedly this has come in handy on many occasions.

If The enemy expects little more than lascannons and rocket launchers from us, they are sorely mistaken….

Apart from our faith in Big E, what really gets our Guardsmen up in the morning? How do they feel about their purpose and goals in general?

>Best of the Best: The regiment believes itself to be elite and constantly strives to prove itself

Every warrior in Our Regiment knows that they were raised for combat and aren’t shy about demonstrating that. They seek the glory and recognition of having their skills recognized by the wider Imperium. We are the best! Warriors born! Can a simple farmhand volunteer or backwater conscript truly equal us?

At our best, this could manifest as an unending desire to spread victory and order for the imperial guard, being showered with accolades along the way

At our worst, we may view lesser regiments(read, everyone but the Tempestus probably) as disdain worthy non-castes who need to prove themselves even harder.

First two thoughts for this all would be a planet-wide rice patty sort of deal, with knee-deep water covering the entire surface and the guard being the equivalent of samurai keeping the worker caste in check; or big game hunters stalking megaprey amongst the skyscraping trees of their world.

Well fair enough. Our Regiment has earned a sterling reputation in the local Segmentum, though our occasional forays into neighboring Segmenta have not earned us our deserved fame there.

We still have work to do, although being well known and respected in a Segmentum is still an accomplishment by any means.

In any case, every Regiment needs friends. Over the period of our service our Regiment has become particularly close with….

>Uluméathic League
>Nightmare Engines of the Pale Wasting


Most exotic.

The League are a fairly obscure Xenos race these days, though they once prodded at the edges of imperial space. They ran afoul of the Tyranids, who devoured many of their worlds, and were ultimately saved only due to the direct intervention of the Eldar(this is basically everything in canon about them), and are these days a hollow shell of a “empire”

The Nightmare Engines are almost as obscure, from the Ghoul Stars, having been the main villains of the Pale Wasting, a terrible conflict in the far past that saw around a dozen chapters of Astartes destroyed, with the Novamarines as the only survivors. Since then, they seem to have been contained within the Ghoul Stars.

A strange pair of foes, but worthy no doubt of our skills!


Aaaaand that’s all folks from the charts


So in summary we have an infantry regiment raised from among a hereditary warrior class on an agri world that is mostly swamp and or jungle, who are very specialized into fighting against a certain pho while enjoying exotic, heavy weaponry, and are also fanatical followers of the emperor

Our buddies of choices are Guard from a specific world, we view ourselves as elite and worthy of glory, actively seeking it out, and our arch-foes are two very obscure Xenos races, one of which got raped by the Tyranids and the other a terrible foe of legend that even a crusade of Astartes barely defeated

Fun!

“The 1st Kyoto Bushi” or something like that? Some sort of Meiji period/Sengoku mix with ww2 banzai tier zealotry

If you're gonna run kamikaze samurai guard then make the Death Korps your buddies, for that axis friendship based on suicidal devotion.

>>96505105
I do think these guys would probably respect the death korps yeh

Being raised to war is something they can relate with and the Kriegers still outpace them in psychotic fanaticism and self sacrifice so they have something to work towards

An entire planet given over to a war caste sounds like they’d enjoy their company, even if there wouldn’t be much hand shaking involved given, well, Kriegers

>>96505112
The best part about this idea is that “Tennō Heika Banzai!!!” Still completely works in context

I would go the route of having their particular warrior caste having solidified its place in the social hiearchy as a way of keeping them in line with heavy doses of indoctrination of Imperial flavored Bushido.

Perhaps the different families hold competitions with each other to see who gets to lead when called upon to go fight off-world.

>known for fighting in jungles
>special weapons, likely heavy flamers on a platoon level
>famous for their skills
>sent out for likely anti-insurgency ops on other planets, aided the cadians/catachan in their deployments

So it's either space gurkha, space vietminh, or space burmese. hell you could even make the special weapon bolters so their elite have the musculature (or bionics) to wield them in that case, it would explain how they're fighting a xenos coalition with one of them known for wiping out fucking astartes chapters in totality.

Both of those threats sound pretty dangerous. One's a eldar-patsy that had a huge empire (meaning inter-stellar travel) and the other mulched astartes like it was nothing. Somehow I doubt getting powerswords en masse for everyone evens the odds.

Maybe he was caught in a last stand type thing during his early years coming up the ranks and he's ashamed at being afraid, so he leads from the backlines and can't stand the idea of losing men. Which from them being elite caste-born, fanatical lunatics, he's done a good job.

He likely is good friends with his subordinates and makes a good showing of himself in front of the men, knowing his fanaticism his speeches are lively and dripping with conviction.

Definitely. I'm seeing him as a bit of a paranoid guy, maybe that's just me.

It's more then likely that his men were sent to the ghoul stars to aid the Novamarines in their retreat from the region after the shitshow that was the Pale Wasting. Cut to his regiment being used as a screening force against god knows what (my headcanon is that the nightmare engines are the bone kingdom of drazak) and he gained a resentment for these supposed super soldiers for the fact his men, despite being fanatical, obviously aren't going to leave much a dent against fucking legions of flayers who regenerate from lasgun fire. Our colonel (let's call him Colonel Mishima for now) befriends his fellow officers, lieutenants and captains and they hold steady regardless of how bad it got. After the ghoul stars gets reinforced they're sent back to their sector to recoup and recover, but then the Ulumeathic leage strikes and they're deployed again. They deploy to a local planet only to have a decapitation strike carried out by a squad of aspect warriors (come to your own idea of which) and only because of his men does he come out alive, with all the friends he made during the ghoul star campaign being massacred. Obviously this affects him, leaves a bad taste in his mouth of both xenos and abhumans. He's a bit of a mess and his veteran squads are obviously shaken up to the point of being jaded. He can put on a brave face and his competency isn't in question, but behind closed doors he's likely dealing with shit hard. He likely was a nepobaby installed to the position by his rogue trader dynasty upbringing that likely has family born and raised on this planet itself. He's at least tried to raise to the occasion and his education and privilege have given him the ability to do so. But the cracks are beginning to show. He really needs a commissar or a ministorum priest. Real mask wearing shit.

Maybe he knows about it, maybe he doesn't, maybe he picked up a pretty locket off the ground in a battle and—WHOOPS! That's a chaos artefact! And he now hears the screaming of his fallen men in his thoughts every minute of every day. Or he somehow managed to find an Eldar cache and stole something and that's why they're pissed.

Sum up table coming up next.

>>96527429
If it is a chaos artifact, that would explain the emotional outbursts.

Gender: Male
Age: Middle-Aged: (30-50) The commander is in the prime of their career, balancing the vigour of youth with strategic acumen, making them a respected leader among their peers. They are still learning, and have yet to leave a mark. This is the expected age of a senior field officer or a senior NCO in the Guard
Rank: Colonel: The commander holds the prestigious rank of Colonel, signifying their command over the entire regiment and their responsibility for strategic decision-making.
Personality: Meticulous Strategist: They are known for their meticulous attention to detail and elaborate tactical planning, often preparing for multiple contingencies in every mission.

Moral Compass: Religious Zealotry: Their moral compass is driven by unwavering religious fervour. They see every battle as a holy crusade, and their actions are guided by the tenets of their faith, even if it means taking extreme measures.
Leadership Style: Untrained Combatant: The commander has no formal combat training, lacking skills or experience in physical warfare, making their initial battles a daunting challenge.
Personal Combat Experience: Untrained Combatant: The commander has no formal combat training, lacking skills or experience in physical warfare, making their initial battles a daunting challenge.
Quirks and Habits: Effortless Maintenance: The commander adopts a minimalist approach to grooming, often appearing disheveled or unkempt despite their rank.
Tech Prayers: Before operating or repairing any technology, they perform a series of intricate hand gestures and vocalised prayers, believing it ensures the machine's cooperation.
Motivation: Survivor's Duty: Having endured unimaginable hardships and narrowly escaped death on multiple occasions, the commander is motivated by a survivor's guilt, feeling compelled to make every life they saved count.

Leadership Challenges: Officer Casualties: A series of officer casualties has left the regiment with a weakened and fragmented command structure.

Regimental Loyalty: Cynical Compliance: The regiment is loyal to the Commander but holds a degree of scepticism or cynicism toward their leadership and policies, complying with orders while silently questioning their purpose.
Regimental Rivalry: Competitive Training: The regiments engage in regular competitive training exercises, from marksmanship contests to mock battles.

Allies of the Commander: Rogue Trader Dynasty
Human Rivals of the Commander: Adeptus Astartes (a specific chapter)
Xenos Enemies of the Commander: Eldar

Trusted Advisor: Cartographer Extraordinaire: A cartographer excels in mapping and understanding terrain, helping plan movements and engagements.
Personal Guard: Combat Engineers: Trained in field fortifications and explosives, these bodyguards ensure the commander's protection from entrenched positions.
Injuries: Emotional Scars: The commander carries deep emotional scars, leading to occasional bouts of instability or emotional outbursts.
Notable Achievements: Breaking Enemy Strongholds: The commander was part of an orchestrated series of successful sieges, breaching fortified enemy positions and securing vital objectives.
Dark Secrets or Past Misdeeds: Possession of Forbidden Artefact: The commander possesses a heretical relic or object considered blasphemous by the Ecclesiarchy, hidden away from prying eyes.

(May have fucked this up as phoneposting)

>>96527470
Leadership style should be:
>Nurturing Leadership: They take on a mentorship role, guiding and developing the skills of their subordinates, with a focus on long-term growth.

>>96527519
Knew I had something wrong.

But there we have it. Our regiment and our nurturing psychopathic eldar-hunted chaos-maddened strategic zealot. What a guy! This poor regiment.

>>96527551
It may be possible the artifact is a soulstone, which would explain the eldar involvement. Then again they likely started it. Fucking elves.

>>96527897
I think you could actually link it with the Marine rivalry as well. Marines and Eldar are both after some Chaos artifact, the Colonel gets it first and refuses to give it to either.

It is dumb and it is entertaining.

Sounds like a fun start to a meme campaign desu. I like others ideas more than this but it's funny to think about

>>96529343
Honestly judging from the background he probably wouldn't be a lieutenant, likely a lieutenant-colonel who was being shown the ropes by a more elderly colonel who died in the decapitation strike. I don't think the regiment suffered heavy casualties in-so-far that the command staff were the objective to kill. Probably because of their honor-bound and warrior upbringing, he accepted without hesitation because he saw it as his duty. He's educated but not necessarily experienced, he shows skill but is green in some crucial aspects. I think more then likely he knows the only way he can prove himself is going all in against the Ulumeathic League and the local eldar. Achieving a victory or killing himself in the process to atone for preconceived failures. Doesn’t help he now has mental trauma.

>look up the nearest craftworld
>near to the ghoul stars
>craftworld lugganath
>known for the quickest lightning raids
>even more then Saim-hann
>biggest supporters of Harlequin

>their craftworld is an oversized airport
>that's essentially a ghost town

So yeah in other words Lieutenant Mishima here got something a Lugganath Autarch or Corsair lord wants back and they killed his superiors just to do that. He still has it which means they aren't going to leave him alone. They likely are using the Ulumeathic league as extra bodies to fling at this sector just to distract segmentum command, while they go webway raiding just to get this guy. Some chapter got involved but either because of past history or the way they're doing things as of current has made them unpopular with the regiment.

>>96531592
Oh and to add to this, Lugganath doesn’t believe in restoring the eldar empire and only wants survival of their race and will align with anyone who agrees with this. Out of anyone it makes sense they'd use some grey aliens who are wholly reliant on the Eldar to use as meatwaves against the Imperium while they get whatever they need then fuck off. Only issue is you have a stubborn as shit regiment that believes in death before dishonor and likely has allies in the area to support them, including rogue traders and another regiment (cadians or catachan) who's bled with them in this region. There may or may not be a Astartes chapter here as well who's there to stabilize things so this won't be an easy fight for anyone.

>>96529343
the real question is, is the eldar in said stone constantly nagging in his ear

Pumping.

Anything left to roll?

>>96531495
>Achieving a victory or killing himself in the process to atone for preconceived failures.
One of those seems more likely than the other.
I agree it's more fitting for him to be a higher rank though, he's been through it and having those extra years and time in the guard makes sense. I do wonder if it's an eldar or chaos artefact he found though, eldar fits more with the story, but chaos fits more with him going mad. I kind of like the idea that he was once brilliant, but all these mistakes keep happening and now he's regressed.

>>96533036
"...and this other time we were, haha, oh man, you should've been there. We were killing all these humans right, and.. hey are you listening?"

>>96537518
Nothing on this guy or the regiment unless we wanted to keep it going by doing the spess muhrine chapter and/or chapter master that he pissed off, as there are two long tables for those. Or the eldar craft world.
But I'm going to bed so if we want to keep it going someone else will have to start

>>96537665
I think eldar can still work with him going mad since they aren't above using pysker shit to really fuck with people

>>96537665
well since one of their foes is located only in the ghoul stars, and the other are basically servile aliens of the eldar, it stands to reason the chapter they're rivaled to and have animosity about is the Death Spectres. The way they intentionally screw over worlds and populations just to get recruits is rather a bad thing in terms of PR. Not to mention they're tasked with patrolling the ghoul stars so if anyone's logically near to the regiment's sector, it's them.

>>96543293
I wonder if this craftworld is currently in the process of reabsorbing a population of Exodites, thus increasing their strength at the cost of weakening adherence to the Paths.

>>96543311
That would make sense.

>>96542970
Sounds like a good comparison. My eldar knowledge is awful but if the area and their general combat style also kind of fits then it sounds good to me.
>>96543311
Would make sense as they're over strength

>>96543311
it would explain why they have such an overwhelming amount of rangers/corsairs and vehicle pilots. Probably easier to train a exodite to shoot with a shuriken and use a chainsword then anything else. Also means their fleets are large, supplemented by corsair fleets.

I was trying to throw together a hypothetical 1k list for the guard.

>Krieg Heavy Weapons Squad w/ Lascanons

>Armored Sentinel 2x w/multilaser
>Scout Sentinel 2x w/ heavy flamer

>>96543643

>>96543742
I don't see krieg in this as a thing or even theme. At best despite their fanatical IJA influence these guys seem standard to the way your generic cadian/IG army is in composition. Hell even the cadians get flamers as a option, and catachan are known for using scout sentinels because they're the only ones light and mobile enough for the jungle. I would put more Cadian in this list to replace the krieg.

>>96543908
Went with Krieg for the zeal. The combat engineers because I thought they could fit flavor as jungle fighters.

>>96544045
Our commanders personal guard were combat engineers too. Not specifically Krieg, but some anon did mention them way back.

I hate and despise it, but I made ai spit out some images for our guys.

>"Hey you know those targets of the big chaos marines we use for target practice sometimes?"

These images serve the intended purpose well enough.

>>96544241

>>96544556
An anon suggested The 1st Kyoto Bushi but I think that was the only suggestion, which just gave me an idea.
A ronin is a masterless samurai.
Now imagine a large number of the guard who don't like the way the commander has been acting and screaming to himself at night and have lost faith in him calling themselves the 1st Kyoto Ronin. The commissar would definitely come knocking and its a bit edgy, but so are.. every single subgroup of every single faction.

Or something like 52nd Kabuto Legion. 33rd Emperor's Oni. 1337th Weeb Squad.

>>96544772
That's my preferred one too

I also think our guys should have their own little flags on their backs instead of the typical regimental flag carrier

>>96544299

Jungles and swamps are extremely fertile. It makes perfect sense to make an agri-world in there. I asked chatgpt for a list of possible products:
>Agricultural Staples
Swamp grains: rice-like cereals in flooded paddies.
Root crops: dense tubers, easily made into ration paste.
Fungus-meats: edible mushrooms, fungal mats, spore-breads.
Fruit harvests: hardy jungle fruits processed into nutrient blocks or ferment stock.
Algae & aquatic greens: grown for food and bio-fuel.
Fiber plants: reeds and grasses for rope, mats, textiles.
Medicinal herbs: painkillers, fever cures, toxin counters.
Stimulants: caffeine beans, narcotic vines, stim-leaf chews.
>Livestock & Produce
Amphibious herd-beasts: meat, bone, hide.
Scaled creatures: crocodilian stock for hides.
Crustaceans & mollusks: protein and shells.
Insect swarms: locust-protein, grubs for paste.
Giant swamp fowl: eggs and meat.
Venomous creatures: toxins and serums.
Exotic hunting stock: exported as trophies or fodder.
>Plant & Forest Exports
Hardwoods: shipbuilding, fortifications.
Resins & gums: waterproofing, adhesives, chemistry.
Promethium substitutes: volatile oils for fuel.
Aromatic spices: hive luxury.
Rope vines & hemp
Paper pulp: reeds and jungle plants.
>Industrial & Chemical Exports
Toxins & venoms: weapons, medicae, counters.
Hallucinogenic spores
Fermentation biomass: alcohols, acids, solvents.
Bioplastics: cheap degradables from vegetation.
Charcoal & peat: swamp fuel.
Tar & pitch: roads, forts.
Medicinal fungi: antibacterial, healing spores.
>Exotic & Rare Resources
Medicinal alkaloids
Psychoactive plants: rituals, alchemy.
Bioluminescent life: light, reagents.
Chitin & carapace: cheap armor plates.
Amber & swamp crystals: luxury curios.
Exotic perfumes & oils: noble luxuries.
>Secondary Goods
Nutrient paste
Swamp leather: waterproof hides.
Jungle textiles: reed/hemp cloth.
Alcoholic spirits: rotgut and liquor.
Tallow & fats: soap, candles, lube.
Glue & binders: from creatures and resins.

>Penal Legion: Scum, criminals, murderers. Watch them closely, lest they decide to shank you and make a break for it.
>Priesthood: This Regiment is comprised of those who venerate the God-Emperor in his soldier aspect.
>Punishment/Redemption: Recruits are gathered from the dregs of society, or as a punishment for past sins. (If Gangers, Convicts, or Lottery was rolled on demographic table, you may select this by default)
>Hive World: No claustrophobia, excellent sense of direction? Urban combat!
>Cavern/Underhive: Recruited from the deeper levels of the Hive, Regiments of Underhivers are often comprised of an eclectic mix of outcast scum, gangsters, and desperate civillians. What they lack in discipline, they make up for in savagery and resourcefulness.Mechanized Infantry: IFVs and >APCs comprise the core of this regiment, ferrying teams of soldiers across rough terrain and into the heart of the battle.
>Guerrilla Warfare: Ambushing, traps, and tying up enemy units are their speciality. Think Rambo, except there's an entire regiment of him. (May be taken automatically by Light Infantry, Cavalry and Abhuman regiments -assuming a suitable strain-).
>Unorthodox: Serve the Emperor in ways frowned upon by most in the Administratum/Ministorum. This can vary from worshipping the Emperor in an unusual fashion (e.x.: as the Omnissiah), or the regiment adopting unusual tactics.
>We Must Repent: The regiment believes it is on a mission to pay for their homeworld's sins with blood.
>Regiment Friends: Adeptus Arbites
>Regiment Enemies: Tyranids
Raised from the cavernous depths of a hive world’s undercity, the Ashen Redeemers are a penal legion pressed into the Emperor’s service under the watchful gaze of confessor-priests. Drawn from cut-throats, gangers, and convicted murderers, these scum fight not for glory but for absolution. The regiment venerates the Emperor not as a distant god as the Ecclesiarchy demands, but as a wrathful judge demanding penance through bloodletting,

=[REDACTED]= has been a pleasure planet since the Dark Age, fantastically complex arrays around every ancient resort maintained huge oasis like pools, creating a kind of reverse archipelago around the planet of great warm lakes, turning the scorched desert world into a planet of Tropical beaches (& Vice).

As millennia have ground on, more & more of the Biosphere-Altering array the world depended on have either broken down or been sold off to the Mechanicus to pay for the maintenance of other arrays. They are so old & strange in design that keeping them working seemed impossible.

As the Great lakes dried up, many of the ancient cities ramped up their joy-bordellos, gambling complexes, misery-bordellos & eateries to keep the nobles who holidayed there interested, but few cared to stay. With the last of the Oasis-Arrays strung across the worlds equator, as that was were they were needed most, it seemed the entire world would become an empty dustbowl once again.

That was of course, until the House took over. Rising from the crumbling casinos of the scorched tropics & currying incredible favour from the sightseeing elite visiting the few remaining oases. With hands guided by their new lord they ensured the glittering cities world peddle their sin forevermore. & that =[REDACTED]= would not fear the coming warmth.

Apparently this means they are automatically disloyal, though I imagine The House could convince the troops to stay in line. Maybe even converting them to the Prince as they become veterans.

Perhaps they are told that the most accomplished among them will get to live in the shining cities as full fledged cultists of Slaanesh. They start out as jaded slaves & don't believe it, but as their service goes on & they spend more time with the rationed indulgences supplied by their masters their opinions are changed & they buy the dream more & more. That perfect service will release them of their bonds & they may join their creators in constant luxury in casino-bordellos of their home

For The Homeworld: This regiment's mission is to demonstrate the skill and steel of the homeworld to the Galaxy, woe unto them.

Perhaps they are clones of former Casino flies with foggy memories of their homes?
But as(if) they survive into veterancy their love of their homes becomes love of Slaanesh. Until the thought of retiring to the shining cities tastes plain in their mouths compared to the glory of the killing fields
