The '''Urdeshi Regiments''' are [[Imperial Guard Regiments]] raised on the [[Forge World]] of [[Urdesh]] in the [[Sabbat Worlds]].{{Fn|1a}}


==Overview==
As a heavily militarized [[forge world]], Urdesh has a legacy of producing fine soldiers who are known to be highly trained and disciplined. The infantry regiments are
first—rate, and their efforts in theatres across the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]] throughout the campaign are celebrated. The elite storm troops are the most highly regarded of all.{{Fn|2}}

Urdesh was conquered by the forces of [[Chaos]] during the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]]. As a result, the Urdeshi regiments deployed in the Crusade were particularly motivated to liberate their homeworld, although they were also deployed in other theatres across the campaign.{{Fn|1a}}

By '''771.[[M41]]''' there were at least eight Urdeshi regiments active in the Sabbat Crusade. They were considered to be excellent shock troops.{{Fn|1a}}
