165th Grendish Proctors
The 165th Grendish Proctors is an Astra Militarum Regiment, that aided in defending Abundantia during the Octarius War, in M42.[1]
History
The Agri World was part of the Sigma-Ulstari System, which had been repeatedly invaded by Orks and the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan. The Waaagh! of Speedboss Morbad Zagblasta was among the latest to do so and he led his hordes to invade Abundantia. During his attack, the 165th defended two districts of the reclamation city Kor-rho's shanty settlements. They were nearly overwhelmed, however, when hundreds of Trukk Boyz tore into them. The fierce attack almost broke the Regiment's resolve, until the Orks' Nobz spied a convoy of Battle Tanks. They were attempting to aid the 165th, by encircling the Orks, but the Nobz joyfully led an attack on the Tanks, before the convoy could do so. Most of the Trukk Boyz' vehicles were destroyed before reaching the Tanks, though, and the survivors could not destroy the convoy. Meanwhile, the respite had allowed the 165th to recover and, under the watchful gazes of their Commissars, the Regiment's remaining Guardsmen regrouped. They then repelled another assault and bought enough time, for more armoured columns to bring their heavy weapons into range of the Orks.[1]
