The Asgardian Rangers (or Rangers of Asgard) are Imperial Guard Regiments from the Feudal World of Asgard.[1]
Doctrine
The Asgardian Rangers specialise in scouting and camouflage, especially mounted on horses. They have special, biologically-enhanced mounts bred to have incredible endurance and tenacity, with resistance to wounds or poison, allowing them to go through the most dense forest or barren desert with little problems.[1]
They come from a Feudal World and are seen as a very feral people. They are supposedly better at scouting than Space Marine Scouts, as they do not need fuel or other resources that are usually scarce in a besieged city. From what little combat they have seen, they are capable warriors and adept at using Sniper Rifles.[1]
Notable Actions
- Third War for Armageddon - Two regiments are deployed to Armageddon against the orks.[3] The Rangers were mostly spread across Armageddon Secundus on the orders of General Odwin[1], although some of their forces were attached to Hive Volcanus.[2][4]
Notable Regiments
- 89th Asgardian - known to have fought on Armageddon during the Third War for Armageddon in the Mannheim Gap.[2]
