The '''Armageddon 50th Steel Legion''' is an [[Imperial Guard]] [[Regiment]] of the [[Armageddon Steel Legion]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
The regiment took part in fighting around the [[Infernus-Acheon Highway]] during the [[Second War for Armageddon]]. When the [[9th Armageddon Steel Legion|9th Armageddon]] were encircled by [[ork forces]] the 50th were ordered to attempt to releive the 9th. Only a thin stretch of the line seperated the 9th and 50th regiments, but it was densely populated by orks. At the same time, the 9th, under [[Colonel]] [[Kerschlact]], would attempt a break out towards the 50th.{{Fn|1}}
It was intended after the breakout succeeded for the units to attack the [[Zanthon Heights]], however as Kerschlact died during the breakout this attack was not carried out.{{Fn|1}}
