The Truskan Snowhounds are Astra Militarum Regiments and are among those that have emulated the drilled precision and ardent resolve of the Cadian Shock Troopers. Because of this, the Snowhounds' tactics and uniforms are heavily-derived from the Cadian Regiments.[1]
Overview
The tribes from which the Snowhounds recruit mastered the art of winter warfare long ago and because of this, aside from being extremely hardy Regiments, the Snowhounds are renowned for their keen vision. This has led to snipers and sharp-shooters being common amongst the Snowhounds' Regiments, as their skills have been honed hunting the white animals across snow-drifts and glaciers of their Homeworld.[1]
The Harsh Environment (HE) upgrade to the regular Flak Helmet patterns is only used in extreme environments by most Militarum Regimentos, but for the Truskans, it's standard issue.[5a]
