Sennach Mechanized Infantry

Along with the Sennach Armored, the Mechanized Infantry are raised from the Death World Sennach and the two regiments can often be found fighting alongside each other. They are highly disciplined, but often regarded as somewhat uncivilized by other forces due to their home worlds isolation and lack of familiarity with the customs of the Imperium.

History
The Mechanized Infantry is traditionally recruited from the Sennach PDF, meaning those guards who accompany the armored caravans crossing the planet's fog-filled valleys. They have pledged themselves first to the Imperium during the Macharian Crusade, quickly realizing that the access to the Imperium's armored vehicles would greatly improve their situation on their home world.

Culture
The "Ironhides" are traditionally a tight knit community, preferring the company of their own soldiers over those of others. Highly disciplined and said to be fearless, the horrors of Sennach produce hard-hearted men, though their favor for collapsing defense lines and feigned retreats have earned them the distrust of other, more straightforward forces.

Given the importance of women on their home world, only a small minority of them serve in the Imperial Guard. Most of them have either always chosen this life, forsaken their clans or been excluded from the role of a Clan Mother due to some other circumstances.

Doctrine
The Mechanized Infantry can be found accompanying assaults, taking key positions or act as a recon force, but their preferred method of war is to hold a point until the last moment and then retreat before the enemy reaches their position, only to harass them during the pursuit and launch devastating counter-attacks.

Almost all of their vehicles are equipped with Searchlights, Smoke Launchers or, more rarely, additional sensor arrays. The soldiers highly favor Lasweapons for their durability and ease of supply.

Organization
A single regiment usually contains 1000 men, divided into 10 companies of 100 each. All squads come equipped with Chimera transports featuring Searchlights, Smoke Launchers and, more rarely, enhanced sensor arrays.
