The Longshanks, also known as Homo Sapien Elongatus, are a recognized strain of Abhuman within the Imperium[1]

Overview

Longshanks are unnaturally tall abhumans who reside on worlds with low levels of gravity. In appearance, the Longshanks are bald with very pronounced eyes and have unnaturally long legs, when compared with baseline humans.[2a]

Longshanks serve in a variety of Auxilia Regiments of the Imperial Guard, where they tower over others like giants. When heavily armed and armored they can make an imposing sight, while their long strides allow them to cross difficult terrain at great speed. However their lofty height makes them easy targets for enemy fire.[4]
