Authorized by Congress in 1866 and activated on November 1, 1869, the 24th Infantry Regiment was one of four all-black regiments created after the Civil War. The unit remained composed of black enlisted men and mostly white officers until 1951 when it was disbanded during the Korean War after claims of dissent and cowardice were made against the unit due to the race of the enlisted men.

Inspired by Fantasy Flight Games' Deathwatch Role-playing Game's Space Marine Chapter Creation Tables, these tables let you roll up (or otherwise generate) your very own Imperial Guard Regiment. These tables are for fluff only -- check out FFG's 'Only War' game for rules on actually role-playing a regiment. The table is also not for uniformly defining every unit from the rolled world, just showing the particular Regiment being focused on and/or what the world is famous for.
Roll on the Planet generator and System generator (filling out those spots already rolled here) tables for more fluff.
For extra fun, create your own system of worlds with IG regiments, penal legions, PDFs, and also use the Space Marine Chapter Creation Table to create your own Astartes Chapter who recruits from the system, and an SoB Order based in the system as well for your own unique, fluffy corner of the Imperium that you can use for everything/anything!
Regiment Origin[edit]
I've gotten the Only War book and set down to design a regiment for that one.NOT. rolled for, rather built based on those. For those of you familiar with the Only War regimental system: Name: 11th Hardanger Volunteers Origin: Imperial world Commander: Fixed Type: Mechanized Infantry Doctrine: Sharpshooter Special Equipment Doctrine. MEP802A Fermont Military Diesel 5KW Tactical Quiet Generator ONLY 20.2 HOURS! 210 KW diesel Caterpillar generator. Diesel 30 KW Generator- 120/208 volts - Phase 3 240/416 volts 3 phase. Only War regiment and character generators. Thanks a lot that is useful material, I was also wondering if there was some actual character stat generator, like getting all the stats exept for the talents and skills (and advancements in general) with one click.
| Regiment Classification | d10 |
|---|---|
| Imperial Guard: A true regiment, drilled and competent in their service. | 1-5 |
| Planetary Defense Force: What the Guard doesn't want, the PDF will take. | 6 |
| Penal Legion: Scum, criminals, murderers. Watch them closely. | 7-8 |
| Militia: Brave enough to defend their world without training or equipment. | 9 |
| Navy Armsmen: Experts in void-combat, they'll defend the ship or take the enemy's. | 10 |
Regiment Demographic[edit]
| Recruitment Criteria | d100 |
|---|---|
| Volunteer: Only the brave and desperate ( of both of which there are plenty) join this Regiment. This may be taken automaticly. (You can also roll a second time to have a more specific method.) | 1-15 |
| Veterans: Taken from the 'best' of the PDF, this Regiment somehow knows more about battle than most. | 16-25 |
| Caste-born: Raised from birth in the warrior caste. | 26-30 |
| Nobility: Bought their commission for honor and glory. | 31-35 |
| Priesthood: They venerate the God-Emperor in his soldier aspect. | 36-40 |
| Abhumans: Ratlings, Ogryn, and other such useful creatures. | 41-45 |
| Tribespeople: All you have to do is teach them which way the gun points, for living in an area with lesser technology produces hard soldiers. | 46-50 |
| Lottery: Selection by the God-Emperor's grace, and a little luck. | 51-55 |
| Spacers: Born on asteroids, off-world hab-stations, or the vessels of the Imperial Navy. (If Navy Armsmen was rolled, this may be taken as default) | 56-60 |
| Firstborn: Chosen by right of being the eldest child. | 61-65 |
| Vat-grown: No families to complain, no friends to consider. | 66-70 |
| Gangers: They fought each other in the slums, now they fight a true enemy. (If Penal Legion was rolled, this may be taken as default) | 71-85 |
| Convicts: Serving their sentence on the front lines, the slime. (If Penal Legion was rolled, this may be taken as default) | 86-95 |
| Roll d3+1 times on this chart. | 96-100 |
| Nature of Recruitment | d10 |
|---|---|
| Punishment/Redemption/Recycling: Recruits are gathered from the dregs of society. (If Gangers, Convicts, or Lottery was rolled on demographic table, you may select this by default) | 1 |
| Elite tithe: The best of the best of the planet were recruited for this regiment. (If veterans, caste-born or nobility was rolled on demographic table, you may select this by default) | 2-4 |
| Standard conscription: Average or above-average citizens recruited from all levels of society. (If Volunteers, Firstborn, or Lottery was rolled on the demographic table, you may select this by default) | 5-10 |
Regiment Homeworld[edit]
| Home World | d100 |
|---|---|
| Hive World: No claustrophobia, excellent sense of direction? Urban combat! | 01–25 |
| Death World: For these people, life was a war before they could speak. | 26–40 |
| Feral World: They fight like wild animals in the Skyfather's name. | 41–55 |
| Agri-World: Sturdy, hard-working types, glad to be off the farm. | 56–60 |
| Civilized World: Comfortable but not soft, ready to fight to preserve and spread civilization. | 61–65 |
| Mining World: At home using Heavy Machinery, not afraid of the dark and great in tight spaces. | 66–70 |
| Feudal World: Hard workers and steadfast warriors once they're convinced Lasguns aren't witchcraft | 71–75 |
| Shrine World: They charge into battle eagerly, and their very prayers are warcries. | 76–85 |
| Forge World: Blessed by the Omnissiah to carry His light across the Galaxy. | 86–90 |
| Lost Homeworld: Ghosts do not fear death, but they seek life with a terrible fury. (Roll again to determine what kind of world it was, Before.) | 91–95 |
| Pleasure World: Soft as clay before the firing of the kiln; war is their crucible. | 96–100 |
| Home World Predominant Terrain | d100 |
|---|---|
| Desert: At home in sun, sand and wind. | 01–20 |
| Garden/Mixed: Every terrain represented, on the surface and in the recruits | 21–40 |
| Jungle/Swamp: Masters of stealth and inured to disease. | 41–60 |
| Ice: Cold-blooded, with hearts of fire. | 61–70 |
| Airless/Dead: They know the void, and the tech required to survive it. | 71–76 |
| Cavern: From the bowels of the earth, natural sappers. | 76–80 |
| Mountains: Alpine hunting produces crack shots. | 81–86 |
| Ocean: They grew up in the dangers of the depths. | 86–90 |
| Plains: Wide, flat worlds produce excellent cavalry and tankers. | 91–95 |
| Urban: Good soldiers, once you get the cityboy out of the city. | 96–00 |
Hive Worlds can instead/also roll on
| Predominant Hive Tier | d100 |
|---|---|
| The Spires: Clad in the best gear Daddy's money can buy, regiments of Upper-Hivers are rare but those that do exist are some of the most (over)confident in the galaxy willing and able to prove that breeding will out, even in the face of Mankinds most grizzly foes. | 01-05 |
| Cavern/Underhive: What the gangers lack in discipline, they make up for in savagery | 06–40 |
| Urban/Middle Hive: The mass of the Hive, hearty if agoraphobic laborers | 41–79 |
| The Whole Hive: Huge and fractious, this clash of cultures is in danger of fighting itself as much as it fights the enemy but in the hands of the right general and a competent team of commissars these regiments can play the different tiers strengths off of each other to create something truly lethal. | 80–95 |
| Outskirts: The feral, toxic wastelands surrounding the Hives' bases more like Techno-Barbarians than feral-worlders these hardy fighters can survive almost anything, while being better capable of technological warfare than Feral or Feudal Worlders and in facing as much danger as most Death Worlders (excepting Catachan and other high end shitholes) but in the form of getting shot at rather than mauled by animals. | 96–100 |
Hive worlds can still roll on the predominant terrain table to determine the environment outside the Hives (that is, if it is anything other than toxic wasteland) and before colonization. Mix up the result for flavor, such as hive cities in the depths of oceans, in mountain ranges, in deserts, in jungles etc.. If Urban is rolled, it could be a city planet with extreme population even by Hive World standards, or the leagues of multi-story Buildings between Hives act as the Planets version of suburbia though in both cases this also means the toxic mire has nowhere to go but down. Have fun if you rolled underhivers!
