History:                                                     The Joutinheim 798^th Armored Regiment

 

 

Compared to most other worlds of the Imperium of Man, Joutinheim's history is comparatively more recent. With Colonists arriving mere 3 millenia ago. Upon establishing the colony, the Muitorium received word requesting Arms and equipment for a guard regiment. Thus the Joutinheim 798^th was begun. It's troopers are typical Iceworlders, with heaters used to merely keep the body from frostbite etc.

Due to the limited number of citizens on Joutinheim, the Guard regiment is Primarily an Armored Regiment. Minimal Infantry ground troops, supported by the walls of ceramite that make up the Regiments vast Leman Russ squadrons. Not to mention the Regiments two super heavy tanks, The Baneblade Midnight Chill and the Shadowsword Gunier

Colonel Ulfric Harman commands the unit from his Leman Russ Punisher Isabel's Vengeance and was the first Joutinheimer to complete the Schola Progenium's Armored Warfare course. Second in command is Silf Gurnhide, in her Leman russ Vanquisher Frostbite. Moral is handled by Commissar Zac, who has been instrumental in the shaping of the unit. Although being a mixed regiment, moral is often in high spirits, especially during Joutinhiem's particularly chilly winters.

Notable achievements include: Assisting in the founding of the Order of the Blushing Maiden. Which has brought much prosperity to Joutinheim. Ties with the order are so close that some battle sisters serve along side Guardsmen and Women, some even on the same equipment like the regiment's pride and lead vehicle Isabel's Vengeance, named after a fallen saint of the order.

The men and women of Joutinheim's history is still young, compared to others, but is no less noble. Driven by their stubborn win at all costs attitude, and guided by the light of the Emperor shone to them by the Order of the Blushing Maiden, they will grab the future with their own hands and shape it according to His will. And woe to any who stand in their way. Those that don't fall to their precision las gun fire will be crushed by their tank treads.

Significant battles joined: Battle of Joutenheim, Purging of Omachron IV
