A Warhammer 40k lore documentary on the True Size of a Armageddon Steel Legion!

We continue to explore the true size of armies in Warhammer 40,000. This particular episode focuses on the combined arms formations of an Armageddon Steel Legion. We begin with a review of the history of the planet of Armageddon which stretches back to the War of the Beast and the years of the Imperial Great Crusade. We then cover the emergence of Armageddon as an imperial hive planet devastated by pollution and war. But from the crucible of the War for Armageddon would emerge a powerful army of the Imperial Guard bent on retaking their planet with an aggressive, mechanized doctrine. The video then covers each of the major unit types found in the Steel Legion before combing them all together into squadrons, platoons, companies, and regiments.
