The Vresh Grenadiers are Astra Militarum Regiments that hail from the war-torn tech-slums of Vresh.[1]
Overview
A strong and violent gang culture pervades this shifting worldscape of rust and metal, and its warriors quickly learn to be cunning in combat and to follow the orders of their leaders. The Flak Armour they wear is typically fashioned from metal scrap plates, which are beaten into shape to wear during the running slum battles. Once drafted into the Imperial Guard, this same armour is given regimental markings, though many of the lurid gang emblems of their former lives are retained on helmets and breastplates.[1]
Notable Engagements
- The War of Beasts on Vigilus — 11 regiments were committed to the defence of Oteck Hivesprawl.[2]
- The Octarius War[3]
