History

Founding and Early Years (M38.270 - M39.000) The 507th Mordian Iron Sentinels were founded in M38.270 on the fortress world of Mordian, a planet known for its harsh environment, strict discipline, and the relentless training of its soldiers. Mordian regiments are renowned for their unwavering discipline and their ability to hold the line against overwhelming odds, often serving as the backbone of Imperial defenses in the most critical and dire situations.   The 507th was established during a period of intense conflict within the Segmentum Obscurus, where the forces of Chaos and various xenos threats were making significant advances. The regiment was quickly deployed to numerous battlefronts, where their iron discipline and expertise in urban warfare became their defining characteristics.   The Hive Wars of Koroth (M39.112 - M39.115) One of the first major deployments of the 507th was during the Hive Wars on the industrial world of Koroth in M39.112. The planet's vast hive cities had fallen under the sway of a Chaos cult, leading to widespread rebellion and the threat of the entire world falling to the forces of the Dark Gods. The 507th Mordian Iron Sentinels were deployed to restore Imperial control over the hive cities.   The regiment's expertise in urban warfare proved crucial in the brutal street-to-street fighting that ensued. The 507th was responsible for leading assaults on several key hive spires, systematically purging the cultists and restoring order. Their ability to maintain strict discipline and execute coordinated assaults in the narrow, labyrinthine streets of the hive cities earned them high praise from the Imperial commanders.   The success of the 507th on Koroth solidified their reputation as a regiment that could be relied upon to hold and reclaim urban environments, even in the face of the most fanatical opposition.   The Defense of Mordian (M40.859) The 507th Mordian Iron Sentinels played a critical role in the defense of their homeworld during the infamous Traitor Uprising of M40.859. A cabal of renegade Imperial officers and Chaos cultists launched a surprise assault on Mordian, seeking to topple the planet's loyalist forces and establish a foothold for Chaos in the sector.   The 507th was one of the primary regiments involved in the defense of the capital city, Mordheim. For weeks, the regiment held key defensive positions against waves of traitor forces, refusing to yield even as the enemy breached the outer defenses. The regiment’s disciplined ranks, unflinching in the face of death, became the cornerstone of the Imperial defense.   The uprising was eventually crushed, and the 507th emerged from the conflict with heavy losses but with their honor intact. Their actions during the defense of Mordian further cemented their reputation as one of the most stalwart and dependable regiments from the fortress world.   The Siege of Vogen (M41.230) In M41.230, the 507th was deployed to the planet Vogen, a strategically important world that had fallen into chaos after a heretical uprising. The city of Vogen was transformed into a battlefield as Imperial forces fought to reclaim the city from a coalition of Chaos warbands, traitor guardsmen, and xenos mercenaries.   The 507th was tasked with retaking key sections of the city, including the heavily fortified Governor’s Palace, which had become the stronghold of the enemy leadership. The fighting in Vogen was some of the most intense the regiment had ever experienced, with the 507th engaging in brutal close-quarters combat through the narrow streets and fortified positions of the city.   Despite facing overwhelming odds, the regiment successfully breached the palace defenses and eliminated the enemy leadership, turning the tide of the battle in favor of the Imperium. The 507th’s actions during the Siege of Vogen were instrumental in the eventual reclamation of the city and the reestablishment of Imperial control over the planet.   Current Operations and the Duros IV Campaign (M42.120 - Present) In the current era, the 507th Mordian Iron Sentinels are deployed on the war-torn planet of Duros IV, a world besieged by the forces of Chaos and other threats. The 507th Mordian Iron Sentinels, now reduced to a battalion-sized force due to the significant losses suffered during the Duros IV campaign, continue to fight with the same determination and discipline that have defined their storied history. Despite their reduced numbers, they remain a crucial force in defending the remaining Imperial strongholds on the planet.   The regiment, now operating as a highly specialized and veteran battalion, is tasked with holding key urban centers and fortifications against the relentless assaults of the Vengeful Despoilers, a Chaos warband led by Vaxxos the Deceiver.   On Duros IV, the 507th has been assigned to defend the city of Fortress, one of the last remaining Imperial strongholds on the planet. The regiment’s expertise in urban warfare and their unwavering discipline have been critical in repelling multiple enemy offensives, despite being outnumbered and outgunned.   The campaign on Duros IV has been brutal, with the 507th facing constant attacks and suffering further losses. However, their determination and loyalty to the Imperium remain unshaken, and they continue to fight with the same resolve that has defined them for millennia.   Legacy and Honors The 507th Mordian Iron Sentinels are a regiment steeped in tradition and honor. Their battle honors include some of the most challenging urban engagements in Imperial history, and their banners are adorned with marks of valor earned in the defense of the Imperium. Despite the hardships and attrition they have faced, the regiment remains a symbol of Mordian’s unyielding spirit and the Emperor’s will.   Even as a reduced force, the 507th continues to embody the ideals of discipline, duty, and sacrifice, standing as a bulwark against the darkness that threatens the Imperium. Their legacy as the Iron Sentinels endures, a testament to the indomitable will of the Mordian people and their unwavering loyalty to the Emperor.
