==Behavior== The Hated hold a reputation of being one of the more ferocious regiments, primarily due to most of the army being made up of primal species, or those that lack the intelligence to fight tactically, such as Ogryns. Although, most commanders utilize this ferocity to charge and break enemy lines, others try to hold them back, entrenching their positions... That being said, it is very common for them to grow frustrated with entrenched warfare, and to abandon highly defensible positions to charge enemies, usually taking the enemy completely by surprise. Many armies have found themselves swept away by a horde of Ogryns charging down a hill towards them, away from a heavily entrenched bunker. ===Doctrines=== The Horde is trained with the knowledge that they are everything that the Emperor despises, that they can only earn his favour in 2 ways: 1) Dying in to further Humanity. 2) Spilling the blood of Humanities enemies. As such, they specialize, mainly in full frontal assaults. However, many commanders take great sport in their men, many bets are made on missions partaken by the Horde, be they "How long will they survive in this suicide mission?" or "How many will be killed when they clash with the Orks?" Abhuman life is cheap and surviving with a commander who may well send you into a no-win situation in order to make sure that his gambling debts don't mount too high is a constant threat that many Abhumans are under. That being said, those who bet on their own losses are rarely promoted. There are some commanders who attempt to conserve their troops as best as they can, and fight as any other army would. Those who can use Abhumans natural abilities to their advantage (Such as the immense strength of Ogryns and the keen eyes of Ratlings) find themselves being promoted to lead some of the larger detachments of the Horde. The Elite of the Elite are known as the Storm Callers, they are the Storm Troopers of the Horde. They are not allowed to use the name Storm Troopers, due to their non-human status. They earn their place as a Storm Caller, by performing incredible feats of valor on the battlefield. They utilize Hotshot guns and crude power weapons, as well as Carapace armour. The Psykers were trained on the world of Gorlalla. Out of all of the Abhumans, Beastmen were the only ones to regularly produce Psykers, the same 10% chance of producing the Psyker Gene as humans, whereas Ratlings only have a 3% chance, and Ogryns only 1%. Until the conclusion of the Council of Nikaea, the Horde regularly produced Psykers. After the Emperor's edict that Psyker usage be prohibited, almost all of the Hordes psykers were executed, those that weren't were placed under incredibly close watch. Although Battle Tanks were rare in the Horde, they did make use of Assault Transports. Rhino Tanks were made heavy use of.
