AidacaĪ warm and overpopulated planet, Aidaca is the origin of some of the most well disciplined regiments in the region. Obviously, these are not truly Abistrevians, but unless I draw some in the future, this will be as close as it gets. This combination of defensive and offensive combat tactics makes them extremely versatile and their weapons and armour are meant to represent that flexibility. I have created some Abistrevian soldiers for my own miniature army by using some Raumjagers from Wargames Atlantic, since I felt like they shared some visual similarities with what I had in mind for the Abistrevians, a regiment focused on defending fortified positions, but also establishing new outposts outside of their system.
Flexible but resistant armour plates cover most of their bodies, while thicker plates cover the most vulnerable parts of the human body and they are equipped with powerful weaponry, which in some cases was improved by the Abistrevian scientists, compared to the regular imperial versions widely available elsewhere. Knowing the storms would end one day, the Abistrevians trained hard and created powerful and disciplined regiments well prepared for defensive roles, especially when garrisoning fortifications like the large city-bunkers where most of their population lived.Īfter the defeat of the heretic that had misled part of the Abistrevians to fight against the imperial forces, the loyalist forces were reintegrated into the Imperial Guard and the system turned into a fortress to serve as a base for future operations.Ībistrevians are a strong and well disciplined people, which makes for good soldiers. Surrounded by storms for many centuries, the system of Abistrev was completely isolated and thus deviated from the forces of the nearby systems.
In this article some of the regiments of the galactic northeastern province of the Empire will be listed, with some details about their gear and traditions. The actual composition and gear of an Imperial Regiments varies from world to world, with the culture of the local population, as well as the environment in the planet, having a great influence in the types of units recruited and trained there. There are many worlds in the Empire that are particularly well known for the high quality troops produced there.
