A Standard Soldier in the Holy Imperium is well equipped to serve his country; weapons range between the Hunter Assault Rifle and Peace-Maker sidearm for Infantrymen and the Longbow Sniper Rifle for Snipers. Advanced Optics Systems combining next-gen targeting systems interfacing with the gun and helmet computer provide unprecedented accuracy. With adequate training the Soldier can use the camera sight running the length of the gun for unparalleled shooting ability.

In addition to this, various light but durable armored plates cover important areas such as the knees, thighs, arms, and torso. Durable Waterproof boots are standard issue in the wet environment the soldiers regularly operate within. Combined with various pouches for holding additional items as selected by the Trooper themselves, the Imperial Soldier is a highly versatile and deadly fighting unit.

The Highly Elite Adeptus Custodes Special Warfare Operatives are the most secretive and deadly combat force within the entire Imperium. Rumors abound about Genetic Modification, Mechanical Implants, and other Highly Deadly technologies. The shortest to date has been estimated to be 6'8" tall but that may just be wild exaggeration.

Regardless, the Adeptus Custodes are the soldiers called in when even the Grey Knights cannot handle the job set before them. Their Top-Secret armor design is capable of withstanding high-velocity rounds without buckling and features a fully enclosed environment capable of recycling air and waste for considerable lengths.

The plated armor, while normally light has been increased to unbelievable thickness for Infantry; thus making it rather heavier than most. This has neccessitated much more research into the Mechanical Actuators of Cthulhu Armor resulting in roughly the same mobility of a non-suited man. The armor plates most vulnerable joints and actuators.

With such massive power, the suit multiplies the user's strength enough to smash car doors with bare-gauntlets. This combined with the Armor's natural heaviness allows troops to wield High-Caliber Machine Guns as if they were Assault-Rifles. Each suit is powered by highly efficient twin Fuel-Cell systems designed to allow 24 hours of mobility on one Fuel-Cell or extended performance over short periods costing both.

Rumor places their number at roughly 200; regardless they are a force to be reckoned with.
