The Imperium has many enemies, both from outside and within. When an enemy presents a great threat, the incredible might of the Imperial Guard is summoned. Compared to Space Marines, the Imperial Guard is a sledgehammer whilst the Space Marines are a sharp surgical scalpel. However, such is the incredible momentum of the Imperial Guard, once it has started its crushing advance, nothing may stop it. With many hundreds of millions of men and uncountable numbers of tanks and artillery, the Imperial Guard is the ultimate war machine.

The Vladivan XXI Imperial Guard Regiment
One of the many regiments of the Imperial Guard, the Vladivan XXI, has served the Imperium with consistency and loyalty since it's inception. The planet Vladivan, a unique world in the Segmentum Solar, is the home of my Imperial Guard Regiment.
The planet Vladivan is a mainly temperate planet, with large rolling forests. The equatorial section is very temperate too, albeit very humid, and riddled with pete bogs and cold swamps. The top quarter of the planet is very cold, due to the axis of the planet. However, mere factors like climate did not stop colonists conquering this realm and claiming it for their own. The native wild life on Vladivan is indifferent to the human population. There are dangerous animals, like the Ice Wolf who roam in large packs and attack stranded travellers, and the Bog Manticores, vile monsters of despicable look, who reach out with massive tendrils and pull unsuspecting victims to their death in the thick, muddy pete.The capital city, Vladistan, is situated in this collosal polar region. It is home to the Vladistan Guard, a premier troop in the Imperial Guard's numberless planetary armies. Outside of the cities of Vladivan, in the Yyberian Ice Deserts, there are many small homesteads and villages. Life in these settlements is hard and tough, as the land is harsh and unforgiving. They do provide the recruits for the Elite Yyberian [pronounced EYE-Beer-ee-yan] Ice Guard of Vladivan. These tough warriors can work in any climate, not just freezing cold, and are tough and determined to the core. In all history of Vladivanian Imperial Guard, not a single Ice Guard regiment has broken in battle. Most notable in their achivements is the battle of Threefax, where a regiment of Yyberian Ice Guard repelled no less than eight assaults by Eldar forces on the planet Haesmar. Even with horrendous losses, they bravely fought on and refused to run, even if it meant a slow and painful death from the terrifying Eldar weapons.
Another troop of renown are the Spetnatz Storm-Troopers. Distinctive in their black and red uniforms, they are masters of commando operations and specialise in craking tough defences and hard enemy lines. They are versatile to the extreme, and can enter a battle in many ways. Beit it by droppod, grav-chute or even in a plain old Chimeras. Whatever mode of transport they utilise, their presence is a serious setback for any enemy. Fortunately for them, there are only a limited number of Spetnatz, as membership is invitation-only.
