Salvage and Recovery Regiment

In the battles it wages against the Imperium’s foes, it is unavoidable that the mighty tanks and vehicles of the Imperial Guard fall in battle alongside the soldiers themselves, despite their mighty armour. However, such is the fortitude of the Imperial Guard’s tanks, that they are rarely destroyed outright—such an event occurring only if the enemy is fortunate enough to detonate fuel or ammunition stores with a lucky shot. When a battle tank or even a Chimera transport is left damaged on the field of battle, it is important to recover it as quickly as possible, before errant shots or vindictive enemies damage the wrecked vehicle beyond repair. It is up to the salvage and recovery regiments to perform this task, braving the battlefield to tow the crippled war machines to safety. This allows the Tech-Priest Enginseers to soothe the vehicles’ machine spirits and repair the damage, that they might roar into battle once more.
