|Established=[[M41]]}}The '''Brimlock Dragoons''' [[Imperial Guard]] [[regiment]].

Dragoons are organized not in squadrons or troops like cavalry, but in companies similar to infantry regiments. Officers and non-commissioned officers bear infantry ranks. ''Dragoon'' is the traditional name for a soldier trained to fight on foot but who transports himself on horseback, or in the case of the Brimlock Dragoons, [[Chimeras]]. Regiments borne from Brimlock have large numbers of [[Armoured Fist]] squadrons.{{Cite This}}

;==Recruitment & Training==The Brimlock Dragoons are recruited from the planet [[Brimlock]] and are trained in the standard fashion of the Imperial Guard. Regiments are organized into three Battalions. {{Cite This}}

;== Battle Style==

;== Equipment==The Brimlock Dragoons use [[Cadian Shock Troopers|Cadian]] pattern equipment and the M-Galaxy pattern [[Lasgun]].

'''742.[[M41 ]]''' - Involved in the [[Damocles Crusade|Damocles Gulf Crusade]].^{{Fn|3 }} They also participated in [[Damocles Crusade_#Operation Hydra|Operation Hydra]].^4-p31{{Fn|4a}}

'''998.M41 ''' - The regiment was assigned to the 4621st Imperial Army, XI Corps during the [[Taros Campaign]]. The XI Corps was to assemble after the X Corps had departed and act as a second wave for the invasion. The 8th was selected because of its experience in fighting the [[Tau]] around the [[Damocles Gulf]]. The 8th was wiped out when its transport convoy was attacked and destroyed by a Tau battlegroup led by the [[Lar'shi'vre]]-class [[cruiser]] ''[[Io'Tar]]''.^{{Fn|1}}

circa *'''Circa 750.M41 ''' - During the [[Damocles Crusade]] on the world of [[Sy'l'Kell]], an armoured column of the Brimlock 17th Dragoons were in transit to the front lines from their landing zone when they were ambushed by [[Kroot]].  The columns column's forward scouts were eliminated by [[Kroot]] [[Carnivore Kindred|Carnivores]] before they could get a warning off to the regiment following behind. As the main body of the regiment pushed through a narrow forested defile, the Kroot fell on them. Three Kroot kindred were involved in the attack. Surprise was complete, and scores were killed in the opening moments of the ambush. [[Colonel ]] [[Konstantin Griffin]] and [[Commissar]] [[Eigerman ]] (alt. Eurbayn) quickly recovered and held the Imperial line long enough to fight clear of the trap. From then on the column was continually harried by the Kroot, until Colonel Griffin linked up with the [[Space Marines]] of the [[Scythes of the Emperor]]. By the time the columns linked up, the regiment had lost 2 two Scout vehicles, 30 thirty Guardsmen and Commissar Eigerman. The Commissar was air -lifted out with severe wounds. With the two Imperial forces combined the Kroot faded away , deeming the combined strength too much for direct confrontation. With the space marines Space Marines in hot pursuit of the forces of the first ambush, a second ambush was sprung on the column. This time the Kroot were backed up by Armoured armoured Tau vehicles of the Tau. Colonel Griffin was killed and his column destroyed.^{{Fn|2}}

*[[Damocles Crusade]] - The regiment was left behind in Tau space after Crusade forces withdrew to be redeployed against [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]]. According to Tau propaganda, the regiment surrendered after all of their Commissars had (allegedly) been killed in Combat combat and was allowed to settle a world under the control of the [[Tau]]. [[Private ]] [[Jeakim Slovaz]], listed as MIA M.I.A. in the Damocles Crusade fronted this propaganda broadcast decades after the conflict and was declared [[Excommunicate Traitoris]].^{{Fn|3}}

The Brimlock Dragoons are based on a variation of the Cadian model.⁴{{Fn|4b}} ==Related Articles==*[[List of Imperial Guard regiments]]
