Unlike other regiments in the Imperial Guard, most Armageddon Steel Legion regiments are combined arms regiments that include mixtures of armour, artillery, infantry, and mechanised infantry. Due to the industrial nature of Armageddon most regiments are made up of over 90% mechanised companies.[21]

Below is a list of known regiments, divisions, and independent companies of the Armageddon Steel Legion, comprising those without a specialisation or whose specialisation is unknown. A second set of lists details regiments with known specialisations or designations.

The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here.

  • The 34th without a designation may be the 34th Armoured, it is unclear from the source and so has been listed as it can't be definitively said to be the same. Alternatively the 34th Armoured may instead refer to just the armoured assets of the 34th Regiment.
