![]() This allows flexibility in organisations for a campaign based upon what resources are available and what FOG will best serve the mission. The terminology used is widely variable, how the armored companies are composed varies immensely. 2 - 5 companies make a battalion, 2 battalions make a regiment and multiple regiments make a division or army. see Imperial armour and gun headsĪnother variation is that 3 leman Russ are a squad, 3 squads and a command vehicle are a company. From here any number of companies can make a brigade and then onto division. ![]() However, normally a regiment will be organised according to certain standards, and this is what we see in the Guard Codex.įrom looking at my two 3rd edition and the single 5th edition guard codexes as well as numerous IG books that Ive read - there is no rule with armored companies.Įg sometimes a single Leman Russ is called a squad and three are called platoon. The Munitorum isn't even able to ensure 100% coverage with lasguns, and that's supposed to be one of the few standards they have. Guess this is just what happens when you try to forge an army out of so many different worlds with as much red tape as the Imperium has to deal with. One rank sometimes just being called differently in the next regiment, another rank not existing there at all. I have a feeling that, just like with the uniforms, their hierarchy may be similarly muddled, at least on the lower levels where it wouldn't bother people from High Command. Mind you, all these are terms that show up right next to the usual Companies and Regiments in the Force Disposition Charts for the Third Armageddon War. ![]() there's even the Skull Takers from Canak IV with a "Clan". For example, the Semtexian Bombardiers are organised into "Batteries", Necromundan Spiders into "Battalions", Minervan tankers have "Legions". If you go by base IG standard organization charts, they don't use Battalions, true, but really, it's not unlikely to find battalions being used.From how I'm interpreting the material, the Imperial Guard does not normally use "Battalion" for the line forces - but alternate terms can be carried over from a tithed regiment based on where they were raised. Do the regiments comprise battalions, or do battalions comprise regiments, if battalions are even being used? Arcsquad wrote:They're always wishy washy on force organization.
