15th Hive Infernus Militia & 317th Platoon|2nd Regiment Savlar Steel Legion Planetary Defense Force
Before the Orks invaded, the Hives of Armageddon were already in conflict... Gang versus gang in violent, bloody clashes deep in the Underhive.
Underhive Gang Wars produced some of the finest close-combat warriors, and a few even became melee specialists the Imperium fielded as Unit Leaders!
During the administration before Herman von Strab, one of these Hive Gangs was reknowned for their ferocity & technological advantages and thus was recruited into the ranks of a Underhive unit that trained Adeptus Arbites.
Employed to serve the Imperium, this Tech Gang was lead by an Underhive Scum known as "Iron Head" but their Pit Slave was re-programmed by Adeptus Mechanicus to serve as a Commissar, thus ensuring absolute loyalty.
With an intimate knowledge of their homeworld, additional non-native reinforcements could be trained effectively and quickly; thus the Hive Militia Planetary Defense Force was born!
Equipped with a variety of older but still lethal technology, the PDF was provided with not just munitions and materiel, but resources such as vehicles and maintenance parts.
Platoon 317 / 2nd Savlar Steel Legion
A mechanized Steel Legion Detachment from a Savlar regiment was tasked to the Armageddon Hive Ganger-led Company Command Squads, while Steel Legion Commissars kept the entire PDF properly motivated.
A Master Of Ordnance, Officer of the Fleet and an Imperial Astropath were attached to the Company Command Squads, while multiple Special & Heavy Weapons Teams provided additional fire support.
Savlar's forces were always seen as the poorer cousins of the Armageddon Steel Legion army. In defending Hive Infernus however, this tough force fought with distinction during the Second Armageddon War.
Afterwards, there was no shortage of Hive volunteers trying to escape or find trash and parts. The Legion was happy to turn a blind eye, even to criminals or those who had committed war crimes such as using inhavlers.
Also, the Hive Ganger PDF received enough Imperial Sentinel Walkers and spares to equip an
Emperor's Talons Recon Company, and was even assigned an attached
Armoured Company of
Leman Russ tanks.

First and greatest love - Orks, Orks, and more Orks 
largest pile of shame, so many tanks unassembled 
most complete and painted 
beautiful models, couldn't resist 
the swarm will consume all
nothing new since 5th edition 
oh how I want to revive, but mostly old fantasy demons and some glorious Soul Grinders 
in need of love
