2nd Armored

The first Utovian battalion sent out into the galaxy to wage the Emperor´s holy wars, the Utovian 2nd Armored Battalion quickly carved a reputation for skillful warfare and dogged defence of taken ground.

Composition
Due to being the first battalion not solely tasked with Home´s defense, the 2nd Armored is constantly deployed all over the galaxy, often used as reinforcements for other battalions, to relieve and bolster the war effort.

21st Super-Heavy Company
By virtue of being one of Utov´s most visible battalions, the 2nd enjoys the privilege of having a full Super-Heavy Company, containing an astonishing 3 Super-Heavies.

211 His Leviathan

212 Bastion of Loyalty
A relatively young Baneblade, the Loyalty actually saw battle before leaving the Forgeworld Antioc, where she was born. Being crewed by a mix of Manofactorum personnel and Utovian crew-men who had lost their own tanks, the Loyalty carved a bloody swath through a khornate warband, before joining up with the Utovian lines and later being part of the evacuated forces. To this day, the tank carries livery not native to Utov in remembrance of the Manufactorum personnel who took up arms in defense of their world, even though the planet was eventually lost. This livery is a constant source of reassurance and strength for all who look upon it, since the Loyalty´s story is well-known, both within and outside the battalion.

213 Furious Crusader

28th Recon Company
Always being considered with a measure of suspicion, the 28th is nonetheless appreciated by their heavier brethren. Having distinguished themselves several times for their skills as skirmishers and ambushers, the 28th is somewhat of a legend among Utovian forces. Going against the common view of recon and scout units, they are considered to be on of the strictest formations in the Utovian armed forces. Paradoxically, when in the field, they operate under independence not commonly seen outside Hussars or Dragoons, seldomly acting in larger units than a single squad.
