Changes

On their wealthy [[Homeworld]], those that withstand the subterranean coming-of-age ritual known as the '''Trial of the Lava Lakes''' enjoy a wealth that is more than sufficient to buy their way out of the [[Astra Militarum]]. But [[Ventrillia]] has a proud military culture with a history of dueling duelling that stretches back to pre-[[Imperial]] times, and few Nobles would risk the dishonour of giving up their commissions.{{Fn|2}} Or the wrath of any [[Commissar]] who learned of such tithe avoidance.{{Fn|76}} Instead, the Nobles "donate" their wealth to [[Departmento Munitorum]] officials and [[Rogue Trader]]s in exchange for assignments and passage to war zones rich in adventure and glory, rather than simply being fed to the meat grinder. When the Nobles go to war they do so armed not only with a [[lasgun]] and bayonet, but also an ancestral dueling duelling sword, a quickblade, or heavy [[Wikipedia: Zweihänder|zwei-hander]].{{Fn|2}}

Their Regiments are known for their ruthless discipline{{Fn|87}} and for using [[Ventrillia]]'s wealth to keep the Nobles' [[Regiment]]s Regiments equipped with ostentatious opulence and splendorsplendour. These are to the standards their highest-born scions are used to and even the lowest-born Nobles' uniforms are often of greater value than officers of other worlds. Also the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] uses the rarest of gem stones found on Ventrillia, for manufacturing and research purposes. In order to have a steady supply of these gems, the Mechanicus makes sure that the Nobles are abundantly equipped with [[Super-Heavy Tank]]s. Like their uniforms, these tanks are also superior to those found in other [[Astra Militarum Regiment]]s.{{Fn|76}}

They do not even fight within the Nobles' Regiments, instead being grouped together in [[Regiment|Sub-Regiments]] known as the '''Ventrillian Ignobles'''. These combine the Nobles' ruthless discipline, but with poorer housing conditions within barracks and a supply of [[Corpse-Starch]], as the Nobles feel this is more likely what the newcomers are accustomed to. This is all done, so that the Ignobles will not be distracted by the Nobles' opulence and this attitude even extends to the Sub-Regiments' equipment.{{Fn|87}}

Upon their arrival, the Nobles' [[Commissars]] will give the Ignoble [[Guardsmen]] [[Regimental Induction Package]]s, which include poor mockeries of their own lavish uniforms and equipment. This includes a [[Synth]]etic feather and a [[Glue Tube]] to attach it to the Ignoble's helmet. An imitation duelling sabre and lengths of imitation gold braid, so the Ignobles can alter their uniforms to meet the Nobles' Parade Standards. The package also contains the Nobles' version of a [[Full Set Ration Consumption Expansion Pack]], which includes a fish knife, soup spoon, brandy glass, 24″ x 24″ silk napkin and a combination butter knife/bayonet attachment for the Ignobles' [[Lasguns]]. Also when the Nobles next go to battle, they will ensure that the Ignobles are assigned to the initial attack wave.{{Fn|87}}
