*The [[Royal Volpone 1st|1st]], [[Royal Volpone 2nd|2nd]], and [[Royal Volpone 4th|4th]] Volpone regiments were deployed to [[Verghast]], all under the command of [[General]] [[Noches Sturm]], as part of the Imperial relief force sent to break the [[Siege of Vervunhive]].{{Fn|3a}} Although Sturm was disgraced and stripped of his rank, he was replaced by [[Colonel]] [[Gizhaum Danver De Banzi Haight Gilbear|Gilbear]], under whom the Volpones and the Tanith First put aside their differences and fought together.{{Fn|3c}}{{Fn|3d}}
*[[14th Volpone Bluebloods|Royal Volpone 14th]] - — A regiment which [[Traitor Guard|betrayed]] the [[Imperium]] and turned to [[Nurgle]] following a protracted conflict with the [[Death Guard]] warband known as the [[Putrid Choir]].{{Fn|5}} *[[Royal Volpone 23rd]] — Participated in the [[13th Black Crusade]].{{Fn|6}}
*[[Royal Volpone 50th]] — Commanded by [[General]] [[Noches Sturm]] at the time of its deployments on [[Voltemand]]{{Fn|2a}} and [[Monthax]]{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|2c}}, where they clashed with their fellow regiment, the [[Tanith First and Only]]. In particular, there were allegations (though no formal inquiry was made) that Sturm deliberately bombarded the Tanith soldiers' forward line, out of pique that the "Ghosts" had managed to capture the [[Chaos]] [[Voltis City|stronghold]] which had successfully resisted the Volpones.{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|3d}} The 50th was also under Sturm's command when he won his famous victory on [[Grimoyr]].{{Fn|1b}}
