Welcome Guardsmen to the 455th Cadian armored regiment, a proud regiment of the finest soldiers of the Emperor, the Cadian Shock Troopers. Are history dates back to the 39th millennium where we took the name of the old 455th, who had tragically...died during a Imperial Crusade. We will try to not tragically die but fight for the God-Emperor for as long as we can
As an Armored Regiment, we comprise of mostly Leman Russ Tanks, With some Hydra Flak Tanks and other types of AFV's in our ranks. Our commander, Colonel Keepard, is a caring man, who is known to not lead us to our death in a foolish tactical move. We are apart of 5th company, which is about 13 tanks, through that number may grow.

Our Tanks.
The Leman Russ Battle Tank-Our main tanks in which we will be mostly comprised of, the Leman Russ is a proven Tank, through decent and not as advanced as other tanks, The Leman Russ makes that up in numbers and the morale of their crewman. The Leman Russ is armed with a Rifled 120mm Battle Cannon, on a turret and a Lascannon on a sponson. It can also have added sponson weapons.
The Leman Russ Conqueror is a less common variant of the Leman Russ, and is armed with a Rifled 105mm Conqueror Cannon, inducing firepower in favor of accuracy both on and off the move. The Conqueror is also armed with a Storm Bolter and a Lascannon on the sponson.
The Leman Russ Demolisher is the Demolisher cannon carrying variant of the Leman Russ, armed with a 200mm Demolisher cannon, through it has a much shorter range and has trouble hitting things that are not right in front of it. The Demolisher is the most common variant.
The Leman Russ Executioner is armed with a Plasma Destroyer, which is often criticized for it's high power requirements, limiting it's effectiveness in extended engagements. The Executioner makes up for this for being a potent tank killer, The turret features emergency vents, heat shielding and coolant to both protect the crew and the weapon itself from damage should a plasma containment field failure occur. However, due to bad design, the coolant feed lines run outside the turret, and are prone to damage, rendering the emergency systems less than reliable. Crews dislike being made to work in the Executioner, and are prone to bailing out at the first sign of trouble. Crews who willingly command these tanks are often seen as foolhardy, extremely brave, or insane. However, those crews who do stick to their tanks are among the best tank-killers in the Imperium, able to take out even the most heavily armoured tanks and buildings due to their powerful main gun. When the tank takes too much damage, the plasma containment field for the main gun can short out, releasing an expanding shock-wave of energy that can incinerate any infantry close to the vehicle.
The Leman Russ Vanquisher is a rarer and more advanced version of the regular Leman Russ, armed with a Rifled 155mm Vanquisher Cannon. This makes the Vanquisher a potent tank killer, and is loved by it's crews for this.
The uncommon Leman Russ Annihilator variant replaces the standard tank's Battle Cannon with a pair of Twin-linked Lascannons. This is similar to the identically-designated Predator Annihilator tank of the Space Marines from which this variant of the Leman Russ takes its name. This change requires the addition of extra power-cells inside the tank, but these use the space saved by the fact that the Battle Cannon's ammunition no longer needs to be stored. The Annihilator's twin Lascannons turn this variant into a true tank-hunter and it is in this role that the tank excels. Of course, such sophisticated tactical planning is not regarded as important by the Death Korps of Krieg Imperial Guard regiments that have been the most common users of this variant of the Leman Russ. As such, where other regiments would regard this tank-hunter as a defensive weapon, the Death Korps uses them as offensive weapons to be thrown into the open assault across no-man's land during a planetary siege.
The infrequently seen Leman Russ Exterminator variant is armed with turret-mounted Twin-linked Autocannons and is generally deployed in an anti-infantry role. Sometimes the Exterminator is also utilised as a stop-gap measure for anti-air defence due to its rapid firing speed. It is especially effective against lightly armoured horde armies such as the Orks or Tyranids, and when the tank is equipped with all anti-infantry weaponry, such as Heavy Bolters, it is capable of laying down a withering hail of ballistic fire. While the Twin-linked Autocannons have recoil dampeners they lack a muzzle brake or flash suppressor. The Exterminator is unique in that it is also used in small numbers by the Space Wolves, making it the only Leman Russ variant fielded by any Space Marine Chapter.
Armed with two 90mm Autocannons
A simple, destructive vehicle, the Leman Russ Eradicator was instrumental in the urban conflict on Khai-Zhan. Its main weapon, the Eradicator Nova Cannon, gained a fearsome reputation as a powerful anti-infantry weapon. The weapon's heavy, high-calibre ballistic shells are capable of destroying both enemy barricades and any infantry sheltering behind them with a highly volatile sub-atomic charge. This makes the Eradicator extremely effective in cities, jungles or other dense terrain. With a blast radius close to that of the Demolisher Cannon, but possessed of a longer range, the Eradicator Nova Cannon can effectively clear buildings of enemy infantry before they can even get a shot off.
The Leman Russ Punisher is the most potent anti-infantry vehicle in the Imperial Guard, and amongst the best anti-infantry vehicles in the galaxy. Armed with the Punisher Gatling Cannon, a large, multi-barrelled ballistic weapon, it is known as one of the fastest-firing slug throwers in the Imperium's arsenal. The Punisher can shred even the heaviest of infantry units with punitive ease, however, the Punisher can be outmatched by enemy tanks in a head-to-head fight, and commonly only works with other Leman Russ tank variants to make up for the loss of anti-tank firepower. The crews of Punishers have reputations for being very gung-ho and extremely trigger happy.
