Mordant regiments have little in the way of a standardized appearance, as much of their personal equipment is acquired from previous war zones. As with Imperial Guard regiments in general, their equipment is marked with symbols from the culture of their home world.{{Cite this}}
Wearing a green/grey colour fatigue and a [[flak armour|flak vest]] manufactured to [[Cadian Shock Troops|Cadian]] pattern, many Mordant regiments enhance their equipment with scavenged gear from [[Departmento Munitorum|Munitorum]] supply units. As such, Mordants can handle a wide variety of equipment normally not issued to other Guard units.{{Fn|77a}}
Mordant soldiers will often be armed with weapons not issued to them during their regiment's founding, such as the [[Triplex Phall|Triplex]]-type [[lasgun]], a rare model in the regions the Mordant regiments have fought, but highly valued by soldiers who must fight in underground tunnels. A veteran of many campaigns will often have acquired a range of specialized and uncommon weapons and equipment, either from past war zones or stolen from soldiers of other regiments.{{Cite this}}
Mordant regiments are also equipped with a variant of the standard Cadian helmet, differing only in cosmetics. Mounted on top of the helmet is an extensive vision enhancing suite, incorporating multi-spectral eye protection.{{Fn|77a}}
