The '''Catachan Jungle Fighters''' sometimes referred to as '''"Baby Ogryns"''' due to their thick slabs of muscle, are the fearsome [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s from [[Catachan]], the most notorious [[Death World]] in the [[Imperium]]. Because of this, Catachans have a well-deserved reputation as the deadliest jungle-warfare experts in the [[galaxy]].{{Fn|1f}}{{Fn|9}}{{Fn|19}}

==Overview==

Extremely resourceful and uncompromising warriors, they are skilled up close with their [[Catachan Knives|specialised and brutal close combat blades]] or from ambush with their [[lasgun]]s. In jungle terrain they are unsurpassed, with each Catachan being worth ten of any other regiment, and those skills learnt in the jungle are easily adapted to other war zones. Due to generations of being bred on the galaxy's most lethal planet, Catachans are known for being both taller and more powerful than any normal human. Their ranks include some of the deadliest men in the Imperium, including the legendary '''"One Man Army"''' [[Sly Marbo]] and the '''"Stonetooth Devil"''' [[Harker]], a man whose endurance and strength is such that he shrugs off even the most grievous of wounds.{{Fn|1f}}{{Fn|9}}{{Fn|19}}
