Top 10 Forgotten Imperial Guard Regiments You NEED to Know

The Astra Militarum — billions strong, yet only a handful of regiments ever get the spotlight. We all know the Cadians, Krieg, and Tanith Ghosts… but what about the forgotten heroes of the Imperium?
In this video, we dive into 10 Imperial Guard regiments that no one ever talks about — from the brutal Savlar Chem-Dogs to the disciplined Mordian Iron Guard, the stoic Valhallans, the ornate Vostroyans, and many more. These forces may not dominate the tabletop or the lore headlines, but their stories, aesthetics, and hobby potential are too good to ignore.
Whether you’re a Warhammer 40k lore enthusiast, a hobbyist looking for unique painting projects, or a strategist hunting for new tabletop inspiration, this list has something for you.
👉 Stay tuned until the end, where I share the regiment I think deserves its own Black Library novel!
