The Jumael Volunteers are an Imperial Guard Regiment, made up of conscripts from the mostly rural farming communities of the verdant agri world of Jumael IV.[1]


Recruitment & Training

Basic training follows the standard (if somewhat rushed) model of the Imperial Guard: drill, route marching and learning the Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer by heart.[2a][2b]

Appearance & Uniform

In battle, troopers wear a heavy vest of ballistic cloth with extra pectoral protection and flexible shoulder reinforcements.[Needs Citation]

Notable Regiments

  • The Jumael I "Lucky Aces" earned their nickname during the Tywia campaign. They were the only regiment of three to survive a warp storm en-route. The regiment took the fortress of Ironhide when a freak earthquake breached its walls and during the battle, a lost patrol found the fabled Chambers of Gold beneath the fortress.[1]
  • The 14th Jumael Volunteers[1d] (or Jumael 14th[1a]): After their founding, the regiment was shipped to Seltura VII to aid in putting down a rebellion by the PDF.[2b] Due to a clerical error, 6th company, commanded by Lieutenant Vinters was diverted and participated in the defence of Broucheroc instead.[2c][2d][2e] Unfortunately the company took losses in the drop when their lander was hit by an Ork Rokkit; the remains of the company were forced to run across open ground to escape and most of them were gunned down.[2e]
