The '''Armageddon Steel Legion''' are the most famed [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s native to the [[Hive World]] of [[Armageddon]]. While the populous world of Armageddon has raised many different types of regiments in the past, none are as well-renowned as the Steel Legion.{{Fn|22}}
===Regimental Structure===

Each regiment raised on Armageddon is composed of twelve [[Imperial Guard Company|companies]], typically a mix of infantry, armour, artillery and mechanised infantry. Infantry and mechanised infantry companies consist of a command section, a fire support platoon with 10 heavy weapons teams, and three infantry platoons of 50 soldiers each, including 5 heavy weapons teams. At full strength a company would have 175 soldiers, though casualties suffered during battle will quickly reduce this.{{Fn|2a}} Tank and artillery companies consist of a command vehicle and three squadrons or batteries of three vehicles each.{{Fn|2a}} Super-heavy tank companies are composed of three super-heavy vehicles.{{Fn|2b}}
==Combat Doctrine==

As Armageddon is one of the primary manufacturing sites for the [[Chimera]] transport, the Steel Legion always rides into battle with plentiful numbers of these vehicles. Their infantry is generally carried in these vehicles in long convoys, ploughing through enemy defenses in force before disembarking to finish off any who remain.{{Fn|22}} The mechanized regiments of the Steel legion are extremely mobile and can be shifted within the shortest time to the front or to support a threatened front section.{{Fn|17}}
