List of Regiments

Regiment Notes
5th The Vostroyan V Regiment was commanded by Lord Marshal Graf Harazahn, supreme commander of the Imperial forces on Medusa V. The regiment defended Hive Euryales against Chaos forces when Van Grothe's Rapidity overwhelmed the planet.[21]
7th The Vostroyan VII Regiment defended Hive Euryales on Medusa V alongside Lord Marshal Graf Harazahn and the Vostroyan V.[22] They later took part in the Charadon Campaign, defending the planet Resplendis against the forces of Chaos.[17]
9th
"Old Irascibles" 		Circa 790.M41 - Defended the planet of Nimbosa against the Tau effort to annex the world. The regiments heroic sacrifice in dying to a man to defend the factory city of Polia convices the Imperial citizens to refuse to submit to the Tau Empire.[6] Apparently reformed after their destruction on Nimbosa the regiment was once more destroyed to a man defending the hive city of Karak Prime against Hive Fleet Moloch, after detonating the hives nuclear stack.[6] The reformed Regiment was attacked in 998.M41 by Clan Vurgaan of the Iron Hands Chapter, when a shape-shifting Xeno infiltrated the Regiment's command structure. Though the Vostroyan 9th recently aided Clan Vurgaan in the Cull of Ersatz Prime, the Iron Hands showed their former allies no mercy and destroyed the compromised Regiment.[7]
11th The Vostroyan XI Regiment served under Lord Marshal Graf Harazahn, supreme commander of the Imperial forces on Medusa V.[1]
12th Fought alongside Chaplain Vladislaw Bingham[18b]
16th Defended the planet of Nimbosa.[6]
18th
"Champions of Reductus" 		Participated in the Ocatvius Cleansing and defended the planet of Helixica with Commissar Von Blacke.[15] They later took part in the Charadon Campaign, defending the planet Resplendis against the forces of Chaos.[17]
21st Fought on Cadia during the 13th Black Crusade after Trazyn the Infinite released them from a fractal tesseract labyrinth during Abaddon's final assault on the catacomb network. Despite their stiff resistance, the regiment was wiped out by Chosen Chaos Marines.[9a][9b]
22nd Known as the Riders of Dawn[10a]. The Regiment was instrumental in the liberation of Kurkaris. It is one of the very few Vostroyan regiments to make use of Rough Riders squadrons (called Hussars) in order to better engage the Orks in Kurkaris' thick forests.[3]
34th Sergeant Vladimir Brosk, known for his love of recaff, served in this regiment[23]
50th Took part in the Charadon Campaign, defending the planet Resplendis against the forces of Chaos.[17]
51st Took part in the fighting of Medusa V.[24]
55th The Firstborn 55th were redeployed to Fort Drusus on Kulth about four months after the Orks claimed Avitohol, having already fought with distinction on Ashen, Oriad, and Manus Genita during the earlier years of the Spinward Front campaign. Since that time, the 55th have been relocated to another corner of Kulth every other week, holding back Ork and Dominate incursions before pushing to reclaim some scrap of territory from them. This constant dance of defence and attack has become something of a routine for the 55th. Currently commanded by Colonel Nikolai Aleksandrov.[6]
68th Defended Danik's World from an ork invasion and a planet wide rebellion. Last known records of the regiment indicate it had dropped to a strength of around 30 effectives, all from 5th company. The bulk of the regiment was destroyed by the rebellious forces, both with sedition and ambush tactics. 5th company, that had previously been detached as a rearguard, suffered heavily it making in back to Imperial lines. The Captain of the company, Gregorious Sebastev, was officially placed in command of the hardened survivors, shortly before the whole group was seconded to the Inquisition. The eventual fate of these survivors, and therefore the regiment itself, is currently unknown.[5]
86th Fought and mostly wiped out during the rebellion on Tovoga. The unit destroyed the traitor troops of Jorun Haskel during this war.[12]
99th
"Only Sons" 		Aided the Mechanicus on Cantopis II.[10a]
103rd
Black Bloods 		Their moniker is a reference to the fact that each soldier of the 103rd Firstborn was drawn from a family whose assigned employment was on the planet’s deep-water promethium rigs. The Blackbloods took pride in the name and in their heritage.[13b] They aided in the defence of Gryphonne IV when the Forge World called for reinforcements to defend against Hive Fleet Leviathan. Less than 1/3 of the 4,000 who answered the call for aid escaped the doomed world. Most escaped aboard the Coffin Ship of the Reaver Titan Atranis which escaped the doomed world by boarding the Ark Mechanicus vessel Peregrinus. Remnants of the regiment that escaped through other means would join up, consolidating on the Peregrinus, Explorator Sherax's ship. The Black Bloods would continue to aid the Explorator and be given space to occupy aboard the Peregrinus. This was not due to loyalty or gratitude from either party, but due to the scarcity of surviving troop transport vessels able to be spared in order to transport the Vostroyans elsewhere.[13a]
241st
"Legia Zaimprowizowany" 		The 241st are famous for their ad-hoc organisation. They can frequently be found adopting the fighting style of other regiments. Their commander during the Medusa V campaign was Colonel Illyich Szradislav. Also known as the “Improvised Regiment”[2]
262nd Fought and mostly wiped out during the rebellion on Tovoga. One of its most distinguished officers, Major Jorun Haskel, fell to Khorne during the conflict and led the remnants of his unit and parts of the Vostroyan 86th into treason. The traitors almost wiped out the remaining Vostroyan 86th loyalists before being defeated.[12]
318th Commanded by General Wenningkov. Took part in the The Fall of Medusa V, where they defended the Monastery of Madrigales.[19]
331st
"True Shots" 		This regiment aided the Mechanicus on Cantopis II.[10a]
1054th
"Void Shrikes" 		The 1054th was a mixed gender regiment. The regument is specialised in void combat, though the Departmento Munitorum has classified them as a seige regiment. This has lead to them often being deployed to war zones that they are not suitable for such as Lenx, where they suffered immense casualties.[18a]
