Thandrian Sons

Discovered late in the Great Crusade, the planet of Thandros was a wasteland, and had little to offer the Imperium except one resource - manpower. The inhabitants of Thandros were hardy, warlike and relatively advanced, producing a variant pattern of lasguns. When they joined the Imperial Army, they formed well-disciplined, attrition specialist units that relished being thrown into the harshest of campaigns.

They got their wish on their first campaign, taking part in the Third Rangdan Xenocide, where they proved their tenacity and iron will in bloody engagements. From then on, they were the first choice for any campaign where high casualties were predicted.

Notable Members

 * Marshal Adelar Tauber - Adelar Tauber started life as most people on Thandros did, barely having enough to survive. Being born into the underclasses, the only “career” option for Adelar was the army, as the Imperium is always in need of more recruits from Thandros. He joined up as soon as he was old enough, and like thousands of others he entered service into the Thandrian Sons. He served without real distinction in the regiment, his only real achievement being to stay alive through multiple campaigns. As such, he is one of the most experienced in the regiment, which is what led to his elevation to Marshall. Marshal Tauber is known for his dourness and strict discipline, the embodiment of the philosophy of the Thandrian Sons. Other commanders from different regiments view his willingness to engage in high casualty warfare distasteful, but his men expect nothing less.

Notable Campaigns

 * Rangdan Xenocides
 * The Dead of Ashkhelon
