The Praetorians are an Imperial Guard regiment who resemble colonial-era British soldiers.
Recruitment & Training
Their homeworld is Praetoria, a heavily populated hive world. The soldiers raised from here are famous for their iron discipline and bravery, but this is only because of the harsh and draconian punishment system used by the officers. These methods, though barbaric, seem to work well, as they are as ferocious on the attack as they are determined in their defence.
Battle Style
The Praetorians fight in a similar way to the Mordian Iron Guard, using concentrated volley fire to eliminate the enemy in vast droves.
Appearance & Uniform
Praetorian uniform typiclly consists of a scarlet tunic with epualettes, and dark blue trousers with vertical scarlet stripe on the outside leg. The Pith Helmet is worn as headgear.
Weapons & Equipment
Unknown.
Notable Regiments
- Captain Caine - Battle of Glazer's River
Miniatures Range
Like many older models, they have been removed from production, but are widely available online, and through Games Workshop's own archive service. The Praetorians were reasonably popular, largely due to the highly distinctive look of their armies and the sharp contrast between them and the dark, gothic Imperium around them. As such, many people were angered at Games Workshop's decision to drop the range.
