A Guardsman of the Jouran Dragoons

The Jouran Dragoons are Imperial Guard Regiments raised from Jouran. They are mostly mechanised infantry.

Battle Style

  • The brave may fall, but never surrender — Regimental motto.[2]

The men and women of the Jouran Dragoons ride into battle in armoured transports like the Chimera. They are often seen in the vanguard of Imperial armies supporting armoured regiments like the Narmenian or Ketzok Armoured. Some of these associations stretch back over millennia and the Jourans have participated in the speartip of many great campaigns throughout the Imperium. After a salient has been created by the heavy tanks of the armoured regiments, the Jouran Dragoons speed through the gaps to gain territory and disrupt the enemy front.[2]

Masters of blitzkrieg warfare, the Jouran regiments are often seen following armoured thrusts closely. Many a campaign has been won by a timely coup de main executed by the Jouran Dragoons.[2a]

Appearance & Uniform

In battle, troopers wear a heavy vest of ballistic cloth with extra pectoral protection and flexible shoulder reinforcements. For formal occasions and the day to day, members of the regiment wear a sky blue jacket.[2a]

Weapons & Equipment

The Jourans carry the standard Mars pattern lasrifle into battle along with the normal Imperial Guard support equipment, and a ceremonial dueling knife that is traditional on Jouran.[2]

In battle they wear bulky flak vests and fighting overalls. They ride the Chimera transport into battle with supporting Leman Russ Battle Tanks for heavy support. In addition to this they use standard Imperial Guard support tanks such as the Basilisk.[2a]
