OK then. I take it as "official".
I see think I must introduce my regiment.
I'm Collecting the Red Company of XXIV Praetorian.
I start with a Praetorian City Fight Idea (with greys & shade calours), but finally I decided to go with "classic" colours; Ii think it's more cool :-D.
Then I have to decide the Regiment, and because I have the blocket of limited ed. box, detailing that forces of the box compose two Platoons of Red Company of XXIV Praetorian; I have the Regiment and the Company.
Brief history of Red Company: After Battle at Farm Glazzer (battle report of an old WD), the Red Company reestructured his mechanized* structure to an hibrid Company: on foot and mechanized troopers. So the Organigram is more or less like this:
Senior Officer
-------------------
Coronel Kaine
Captain Karuthors
Company Comisars
----------------------------
Comisar Derek Prince
Comisar Fonbeck
Comisar Teignmouth Melvill
Comisar James Langley Dalton
Mechanized Platoons:
-------------------------------
First (red colour): First Lieutenant Chard
Third (blue colour): Alferez** Shepstone
Fifth (white colour): Alferez Dyson
On Foot Platoons:
---------------------------
Second (green colour): Second Lieutenant Bromhead
Fourth (yellow colour): Alferez Mostyn
Sixth (bleck colour): Alferez Covaye
There are auxiliar squads and tanks, but this is most important information.
The platoon and squad are determined by a circle of colour (half red, company colour, and half of platoon colour) with the number of the platoon on the bayonet sleeve of each trooper; like old mordian imperial guards pictures.
* In the told Battle Report, the background of the battle explains that a part of Red Company stands on the farm because his Chimera were damaged and they can't follow march rate of the rest. So, Red Company was a mechanized one. Moreover, if we take on mind other Hive Regiments like Steel Legion, they were mechanized too.
** Alferez is a rank in spanish army between Lieutenant and Sergeant.

No worries about your english... it's better than many english-speakers' on the internet.Well, the Command staff of Praetorian-IG seem to be AWOL at the moment, but I can tell you that the 'official' Praetorian background on the site is taken as canon by everyone, as it is the story of the massacre at Big Toof River. As such it has been retold many a time, but is more or less accepted as official.As for fan stuff, you may want to look back in the archives at what we've been discussing. There's a fair amount of background material there, and someday I will attempt to write a fan canon which will give Praetoria a fair hearing. When that day comes, I hope y'all will be there!welcome aboard,Major of the 58th2008/8/25 kaine0666 <kain0666@...>
Hello!------------------------------------
I just subscribed now, and I introduce myself.
I'm from Spain, and I play with I.G.
I was looking arround google for praetorian information for my
praetorian army and I find Col.Gravis Blog (congratulations for it) and
this Group.
I have a question about "OficialPraetorianBackground" file.
I have limited edition box set, and with it there were a blocked with
some information about XXIV Praetoria. I think that information was the
only oficial information about Praetorian I.G.
Is all the information of refered file oficial or there are some fan
stuff?
Thanks
NOTE. Sorry about my poor english and I wish you understand all I want
to say ... :-)
