Ishtar Subsector
Unlike most planets in the imperium Tithe of men for the Astra Militarum is done as a Subsector to ensure quality. All regiments get shipped to a training base for initial issue and standards. The sector is highly technological. Consists of a Knight World, a Forge World, and a industry heavy Hive World as well as an Agri World and a Chapter Homeworld for the Bloodmoon Hunters Space marines. One of the worlds has a race of flying Wyrm creatures that are used as mounts for certain regiments. They are great beasts with armor like scales that diffuse heat and have great rending claws but the intelligence roughly of a horse or a dog.
All this regiments I have are coming from a sector that is Mechanicus dominated. An Iron Hands successor homeworld, a Knight World, a Forge World, and A Agri world are all in this sector that is the northeast quadrant of the galaxy. In hoping distance of the Northern Tau border and the Ghoul stars (Maybe a long hop in some cases. Advice, comments, or anything else really is welcome. This is apart of my sector building project of mine.

Vehicle layout or Description
Capitol Imperialis Command Tank
At almost fifty meters tall, the rhomboid-shaped Capitol Imperialis rivals a Titan in size. Solid adamantine plating and six Void Shield generators gives it a comparable level of protection. Its primary weapon is the massive Behemoth Cannon, so large that four Leman Russ Battle Tanks could fit within its barrel. The concussive force of firing the Behemoth Cannon can knock nearby troops off their feet and cause avalanches, while a single hit can kill thousands of enemy soldiers and vehicles, throwing them hundreds of meters into the air and producing a huge mushroom cloud. Secondary weapons include hundreds of Bolters for close-in defensive fire, and the hull can be electrically charged to repel boarders.
Within its massive hold a Capitol Imperialiscan carry two full companies of Imperial Guard, whether infantry or tanks. This allows the vehicle to act as a mobile bunker for troops, especially on inhospitable worlds, and the embarked soldiers can further support the Capitol Imperialis by fighting from its protective bulk.
The command bridge situated deep within a Capitol Imperialis allows its regiment's commander the tools needed to command his troops efficiently. Vox-gear, pict-casters, logic-engines and a holo-map, all serviced by hooded Servitors, gather, analyze and display information to allow the leadership to plan out their campaign.
Shadowsword
The Shadowsword is the sister tank of the more common Baneblade super-heavy tank of the Astra Militarum. The Shadowsword is a nearly identical super-heavy tank to the Baneblade with the exception of its armament and battlefield role as a Titan-killer. Armed with a massive forward-firing gun known as a Volcano Cannon the Shadowsword's primary focus during combat is the destruction of enemy Titans. The Shadowsword and Baneblade have been fighting alongside the forces of Mankind since the Dark Age of Technology, thus making it one of the oldest tank designs still in regular use by the Imperium. Each Shadowsword uses ancient Standard Template Construct (STC) designs that only a handful of Adeptus MechanicusForge Worlds have at their disposal. Each Shadowsword is individually logged, registered, and tracked on Mars, not only to see where it is but to see where it has been and the honours it has received, as a Shadowsword's deeds are celebrated as if they were those of a favorite child amongst its makers. The Shadowsword is a highly prized addition to any armoured regiment of the Imperial Guard.
