Artemisia Armored

Regimental Culture
"Pass through two cities and I will see you again"

- a common Nomad goodbye The Nomads of the sixth moon of the gas giant Artemisia do not travel the seemingly endless plains of their homeworld through the use of draft animals, as their distant ancestors once did.

Since the days of Artemsia's first settlers, they have made use of vehicles, whether purchased, traded or handed down the generations. While the smallest carry only two occupants, a driver and a gunner, the largest may carry an entire family of nomads on their routes between cities, trading for spare parts, Prometheum and other necessities.

Whatever their size, or number of occupants, many carry weapons and all are armored for defense against the sporadic and unpredictable meteor showers that sometimes strike the surface, and in case of an attack from the fabled "Night Stalkers"- believed to the now destroyed remnants of a Tyranid Splinter Fleet.

In any case, their constant travel and lifelong familiarity with vehicles makes them uniquely suited for armored warfare- as such they are given some latitude regarding Imperial Guard regulations, their vehicles often display their commander's family crests or personal banner while the men they command
