Khazamga 7th Infantry

History
Their origins as an Imperial Guard unit date back to the first founding of Khazamga regiments sometime in the past, but the dates remain unclear as the early regiments kept very poor records, concerning themselves only with fighting. Whatever the case they have proven themselves fighting alongside Kashidaan and Tricamerate armies, most during the Liberation of Xomia and in the battles since. While their primary enemy is Orks they have on occasion faced down "Rakshasa" - their word for Daemons.

Tactical Doctrine
The Khazamga 7th hails from the foothills of a major mountain range, lending them their name as "People of the Hills." This informs their tactical doctrine- they prefer to stand and fight, preferring to thin the ranks of their enemy(usually Orks) charging at them. They are also known to fight from within makeshift fortifications, 4 Chimeras parked in a square with a lascannon on each corner of their armored wall. When they can, they fight from inside their Chimeras, which serve as both transports and mobile fire support.

Command element
•11 men Karnala (equivalent to Colonel) and his Honor Guard of 8 men (Largely a ceremonial position, when committed they wear the same armor as the others but still carry their power sword)

Regimental structure
•	6 companies of 240- commanded by a Subadar

•	Each company is 4 platoons of 60 (10 squads of 6) and is commanded by a Jemadar

Chimeras
Each Company has 5 attatched Chimeras, their crews are issued the same equipment listed below. They are painted in varying shades of brown and gold, an Imperial Aquila is painted in black on both sides. Unique to the Khazmaga, their Chimeras have large brass studs similar to the infantry armor. They often carry the unit standard on flagpoles welded to the hulls.

Notes on Regimental Culture
For some reason they don't discuss with outsiders the people of Khazmaga never cut their hair, the same tradition is followed by the fighting men of the Khazamga Imperial Guard, often wearing their long hair and beards in braids trailing down their backs but tucked inside their armor. While loyal to the Imperium they also possessed a fragment of their pre-imperial culture

Honor Code
All Khazamga warriors followed these codes. However parts of the Uplifting Primer directly contradicted these rules leading to some internal struggle between being a warrior and being an Imperial Soldier. In such cases- the idea of fleeing a lost battle when needed they used it as motivation to ensure that they won.

• The innocent have no place in war.

• Women and children are not to be harmed for they are the future of our people

• Holy Places have no place in war and none must fight in them. • Once a Holy Place is defiled by an enemy it must be recaptured and made holy again. A failure to do so is a loss of honor.

• A fellow warrior must be treated with respect unless they make themselves unworthy of it by harming innocents. Then they are no better than animals. • It is dishonorable to flee from battle while those you command still fight.

• It is better to retreat from a lost battle than to die without need, so that you may be victorious in the next. • It is better to die than to live without honor.

• If a warrior must die it is best that he die to defend his people • It is better still that he lives to fight on

Trivia
•The Khazamga are based on Sikhs, 40K tends to lean toward Europe for Imperial armies, I wanted to do something different.
