The Raalparthian Grenadiers were known by many in the
Segmentum Solar as one of the finest Imperial Guard regiments since the High
Lords of Terra came to power. Known by all who served alongside them as “violently
loyal” and “brutally precise” due to their no nonsense attitude to combat. Their service to the Imperium has resulted in
changing the way standard war has been fought, especially in situations of long
term engagements on Hive worlds, guerilla war fare on death worlds, hand to
hand combat on space hulks and stronghold assaults. The world of Raalpartha is also the home of
one of the Imperiums’ finest sniper schools as well as one of the premier
training facilities for specialized warfare.
The most decorated
regiment in recent Imperial History has been the 4th Grenadiers. In
over 100 campaigns, the 4th never retreated and came out the victor
at the end of every bloody engagement. Their 101st campaign had them
on the edge of the Eye Of Terror, sent to fight alongside two full battle
companies of the Red Reapers Adeptus Astartes. They fought for nearly a month
on their own against overwhelming numbers of Black Legion Chaos marines and over
500 hundred thousand renegade traitor Guard. Both forces were overrun and wiped out with the
exception of a small frigate that managed to slip away before the planet was
virus bombed by the Black Legion.
The frigate docked on Cadia with its only passengers being
Inquisitor Chambers ,Chaplain Bravva of the Red Reapers and ten near death
survivors of the 4th Grenadiers.
No other regiment will bear the name of the 4th
as a show of the respect for the price that was paid.
The ten survivors were deemed unfit to return to duty as a
result of the horrors they encountered.
Their whereabouts are unknown.
