Lattarii Gundogs

Astra Militarum Portal

The Lattarii Gundogs were Imperial Guard Regiments known to have taken part in the Sabbat Worlds Crusade.^[1a] They hail from Carthage Major, losing their homeworld to Chaos forces in 758.M41, thereafter becoming so-called 'homeless' regiments.^[3]

Known Actions

During the Crusade, the Lattarii Gundogs are known to have been deployed on Menazoid Epsilon. At this time, the Gundogs are known to have fielded a significant number of armoured vehicles, forming part of the armoured host sent to engage the enemy at Shrine Target Primaris by Lord General Dravere.^[1a][1b]

The Gundogs were later engaged on Lamicia, where they were reported to have made a "last stand". Their current status is unknown.^[2a]

Conflicting sources

The regiments' name has been given two different spellings; in the novel First and Only it is given as Lattarii Gundogs^[1a], but in the later novel Ghostmaker the text spells their name as the Latarii Gundogs.^[2a] In addition, another chapter in Ghostmaker refers to the Lakkarii Gundogs as a regiment that took part in the assault on Caligula. It is unknown if this is the same regiment under a third spelling.^[2b]
