''' Ogryn Weapons. '''

Cost: 1 point

Standard Regimental Kit: The regiment gains an additional +10 on all Logistics Tests to obtain items with the Ogryn-Proof Weapon Quality. In addition, Ogryn characters in the regiment may add a Common Craftsmanship ripper gun and two clips (Main Weapon) to their kit, if it does not already include one.

''' Reliquary. '''

Cost: 1 point

Standard Regimental Kit: One reliquary per squad. The reliquary might take any number of forms, from a simple wooden box to an elaborate triptych or golden sarcophagus. What is important however, is the reliquary’s contents—either some portion of the bodily remains of a saint or another object of great religious significance for the worshipers of the Emperor. Depending on the reliquary’s size, it might take only a single person to carry, or five or more, but typically two characters (including Comrades) must carry it. As long as the reliquary remains in the Squad’s possession, all Squad Members gain a +10 bonus to Willpower Tests and count as possessing the Unshakeable Faith Talent. In addition, the Player Characters reduce all Corruption Points gained by 1 to a minimum of 1.

''' Augmetics. '''

Cost: 2 points

Standard Regimental Kit: The regiment gains an additional +10 on all Logistics Tests made to obtain bionic replacements and implants.

Regimental Command: The regiment gains +10 on requisition tests to obtain bionics and implants.

''' Automated Artillery. '''

Cost: 2 points

Standard Regimental Kit: One Tarantula Sentry Gun per Squad.

Regimental Command: When defending, squads from this regiment may use the tarantulas to fire in exchanges. But not when attacking.

''' Breachers. '''

Cost: 2 points

Standard Regimental Kit: One Hades Breaching Drill per Squad.

Regimental Command: Using the Breaching drill, a squad can Drill Move at most 2 squares, if used this way the squad automatically wins initiative in exchanges and ignore the defensive bonus from bunkers and fortifications since they drill in from below and surprise the enemy.

This of course functions completely different in Battle play, where a whole slew of tests and tactics will happen.

''' Combat Drugs. '''

Cost: 2 points

Standard Regimental Kit: The regiment adds an injector or inhaler and three doses of frenzon or five doses of stimm. Additional doses must be obtained through requisition or additional standard kit items.

''' Servitor Accompaniment. '''

Cost: 2 points

''' Bonded to the Machine Cult. '''

Cost: 3 points

Standard Regimental Kit: The regiment gains an additional +10 on all Logistics Tests to obtain Plasma, Melta, and Power weapons, and other items of advanced technology at the GM’s discretion.

Regimental Command: The bonus also refers to requisition rolls, Game builders discretion of course.

''' Chameleoline. '''

Cost: 3 points

Standard Regimental Kit: The regiment is equipped with either chameleoline cloaks or chameleoline-coated armour.

''' Cyber-Enhanced. '''

''' Demolitions. '''

Cost: 3 points

Regimental Command: The bonus also counts on Requisition tests.

''' Sabre Battery. '''

Cost: 3 points

Standard Regimental Kit: One Sabre Defence Platform per Player Character.

Regimental Command: When defending, squads from this regiment may use the Sabres to fire in exchanges. But not when attacking. The units may only move half speed on the map, with a minimum of one space every other day unless equipped with vehicles which can transport the platforms.

''' Scavengers. '''

Cost: 3 points

Standard Regimental Kit: The regiment may choose to gain a +10 bonus on any Logistics Test. However, on any test where this bonus is used, if any doubles are rolled (22, 33, 44, etc.) whether the Test was a success or a failure, then the scavenging and stealing attracts unwanted attention from higher authorities within the Imperial Guard or the Departmento Munitorum.

Regimental Command: The bonus may be used on Requisition rolls to acquire goods that other regiments are supposed to get. Getting the penalty is a quick way for your regiment to become Mistrusted.

''' Warrior Weapons. '''

Cost: 3 points

Starting Skills: Parry

Standard Regimental Kit: The regiment exchanges their Main Weapon for a Common (or more available) Low-Tech weapon and a laspistol with two charge packs.

''' Well-Provisioned. '''

Cost: 3 points

Standard Regimental Kit: The regiment increases the number of clips for their main ranged weapon and the number of weeks’ rations they carry as standard by +2, and gain an additional grenade of each type in their standard kit (if applicable). If the regiment contains vehicles, this also grants a +10 bonus on all Logistics tests to obtain fuel and parts for repairing and maintaining those vehicles.

Regimental Command: As stated in the main supplement Well Provisioned regiments get a flat +5 on all requisition tests. They may also count the bonus of +10 to get hold of fuel, Ammo and repair kits and a single Repair support squad to requisition tests if the regiment has vehicles.

''' Without Numbers. '''

Cost: 3 points

Standard regimental kit: When a Squad from this regiment requests reinforcements it gets +20 on it's test to get hold of comrades or replacement members. They are also (generally) deployed en masse on all fronts they deploy on.

Regimental Command: If used in regimental command, this doctrine also confer the bonus on requesting regular unaltered squads or resupplying them. It also get a +10 bonus on requesting support squads when the support squad is "part of the regiment", this is up to the game builder and common sense. But generally refers to squads that are not elite specialist squads (like psykers or stormtroopers), not super heavy support sections nor naval fliers. Again, use common sense. Would it make sense the support squad is made up from members of the regiment with extra training, the bonus applies.

On top of this bonus, the regiment start with two extra squads in regimental command.

''' Electro-Vox Warfare. '''

Regimental Command: If set up within 10 squares from an enemy HQ or mobile HQ, they can begin tapping into enemy communications, this is a tech-use test which can be attempted once per day. If set up it will work until they move or they get jammed or attacked. With regular squads this usually leads to the Game builder setting up some custom events. Heroes get amazing avenues for roleplay this way.

For every square closer than 10 the squad is set-up, they get a +2 on the test to listen in.

''' Forward Observation. '''

Cost: 4

Any barding or other mount armour varies by regiment.

Regimental Command: If the Game Builder deems that the mounts can carry all the guardsmens gear, the squads in this regiment now move as cavalry. Specific support sections might not move this way even if the regular squads do.

Standard Regimental Kit: 1 suit of synskin per Player Character, 1 set of preysense goggles per Player Character.
