===Death Korps Grenadiers===

{{main|Death Korps Grenadiers}}

Although comparable to Scions, Grenadiers are fully part of their regiment, having been recruited into the regiment at the time of its creation along with the rest of the Guardsmen. Those individuals who prove themselves to be superior soldiers are given special training and equipment that can be equal to a Scion and formed into their own squads. Unlike Scions though, Grenadiers do not deep-strike or infiltrate, instead fighting alongside their fellow Guardsmen.{{Fn|5b}} Grenadiers often make up part of the ranks of the more elite and shock oriented regiments, most notably the [[Death Korps of Krieg]]. These guardsmen are highly respected by their regiments and are often sent to where the fighting is at its thickest.{{Fn|5f}}

===Steel Legion Storm Troopers===

===Kill Squad Troopers===

Used to enforce execution warrants or when extreme prejudice is required, '''Kill Squads''' are comprised of the special forces of [[Planetary Defence Force]]s and represent some of the most dangerous formations that can exist within the organisation of planetary Enforcers. The troops that comprise Kill Squads are often trained to the same elite level as most Imperial Storm Troopers, particularly on wealthy and technologically advanced Imperial planets. On some worlds, where the rule of the Planetary Governor is dictatorial and harsh, Kill Squad Troopers are the hated embodiments of their tyranny. Kill Squad Troopers are often equipped with a lighter form of "Enforcer" pattern Carapace Armour, along with a [[Photo-Visor]] helmet. Their usual armament is an [[Autogun]], with a [[Stub Automatic]] pistol as a sidearm.{{Fn|21}}
