45th Delvish Vargodron riders

The 45th Delvish Vargodron riders are an Imperial Guard regiment from the hive world Delvish, located in the Segementum Obscurus. They almost all ride the reptilian creatures known as Vargodrons, who are also infamously used by the Zoragon race. Members of the regiment are usually recruited from the Delvish aristocracy, although sometimes especially decorated veterans from other regiments from Delvish may be promoted into the 45th.

The regiment often boasts of great achievements and how they can turn the tide of a battle in a single charge, earning them a reputation of being arrogant. However on the battle field no commander can deny the charge of over a hundred well armed troops mounted on frenzied, muscular lizards is anything short of effective.

History
Although formed around 562.M32, the 45th's history extends before their initial formation. On Delvish the Vargodrons were plentiful, due to the previous inhabitants, the Zoragons, mass breeding them thousands of years ago. It was common practice for noble sons to find a Vargodron, capture it, and use it as a mount. These men usually filled the elite core in other cavalry regiments.

In 560.M32, son of Delvish's planetary governor, Edward Haughtius III, started to gather more men who rode Vargodrons and formed a loose army of nobles willing to give him support. This group was tolerated only due to Haughtiuses father, and was still frown upon as a pose rather than a serious military unit. However two years Haughtius had gathered so many men that the 45th Delvish Vargodron riders were officially formed. It was only after a hundred years of successful engagements that the 45th Delvish Vargodron riders had gained respect as a powerful force.
