75th Cadian Drop Commandos

Description

This here is a another Imperial Guard Regiment that I've just made. Here's the Bio:

"The 75th Cadian Drop Commandos was founded in 253.M41 on Cadia. Initially it was a standard Cadian Shock regiment until the First Siege of Vaxanide in 410-412.M41, where it was here they developed a reputation to fly in on Valkyrie Gunships deep into enemy territory and launch hit-and-run raids before heading back to friendly lines. (on average, these raids would go for about, from take-off from base to engaging the enemy, to return to base, 2-3 Hours). During these raiding ops, members of the 1st Elysian Drop Troops Regiment had heard of these and were surprised to hear that these raids weren't done by a Drop Troops Unit, but rather a Cadian Shock Regiment. Upon hearing this, and at the request of the commander of the 1st Elysian, the 75th was pulled out of the front lines and transferred to Elysia where they were trained in the way of the Elysian Drop Troopers, that is constant training of handling Grav-Chutes, High-Orbital Insertions, sharpshooting, and also extensive survival training. Once training was completed, the 75th changed their name from Cadian Shock Regiment into Cadian Drop Commandos. To also reflect their new training and status, they ditched their standard Tan uniform and took on a Green uniform with Specialized Splinter Camo which bore resemblance to the German Fallschirmjager Camo from WWII. To also strengthen this, their also painted the Aquila emblem on their helmets. (White strips are denied this until they have proven themselves in battle) However the 75th retained the standard Green Flak Armor they wear. Since these changes, the 75th have been involved in multiple operations (some of which are covert) and are highly regarded between both the Imperial Guard and also Space Marines alike. Their most recent operation was, like the 501st "Cadian Fist", fighting Xenon and Chaos forces on Medusa V, continuing to use their trademark tactic. Sine this Op, the 75th is heading to Cadia to engage the Forces of Chaos their on their homeworld."

This is my second reskin of the 314th Gundlar Grenadiers, similar to the 501st Cadian that I made in November. However, this skin pack will not be released yet for I plan to make another mega pack containing another 3 Imperial Guard Regiments (this is one of the three). I still need to make another two before releasing this pack. Once done, I'll get it out to you all when I can.

I think they need an LMG/SAW equivalent
