Jumael Volunteers
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
(Redirected from Jumael 1st Regiment)
The Jumael Volunteers are an Imperial Guard Regiment, made up of conscripts from the mostly rural farming communities of the verdant agri world of Jumael IV.[1]
Recruitment & Training
Basic training follows the standard (if somewhat rushed) model of the Imperial Guard: drill, route marching and learning the Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer by heart.[2a][2b]
Appearance & Uniform
In battle, troopers wear a heavy vest of ballistic cloth with extra pectoral protection and flexible shoulder reinforcements.[2b]
Notable Regiments
- The Jumael I "Lucky Aces" earned their nickname during the Tywia campaign. They were the only regiment of three to survive a warp storm en-route. The regiment took the fortress of Ironhide when a freak earthquake breached its walls and during the battle, a lost patrol found the fabled Chambers of Gold beneath the fortress.[1]
- The 14th Jumael Volunteers[1d] (or Jumael 14th[1a]): After their founding, the regiment was shipped to Seltura VII to aid in putting down a rebellion by the PDF.[2b] Due to a clerical error, 6th company, commanded by Lieutenant Vinters was diverted and participated in the defence of Broucheroc instead.[2c][2d][2e] Unfortunately the company took losses in the drop when their lander was hit by an Ork Rokkit; the remains of the company were forced to run across open ground to escape and most of them were gunned down.[2e]
