Dieper III is a Extremely mountainous world (like, a whole lot of mountains) and thats why the imperial guard needed soldiers that know no fear of extreme heights and also have balls of steel, enter the Dieprian Mountain Men.
Little is known about this regiment in imperial records other than the Emperor himself named the regiment after he set foot on the planet sometime before the Great Crusade, the Dieprians are specialized in alpine and mountain warfare they are commited to safeguard their home planet forever, not taking part in any major conflicts (although, they maybe some little exceptions), their fighting style is based in high altitude ambushes using Valkyries (a lot of valkyries) at extreme heights.
History
The Dieprian Mountain Men were first mentioned in the 3rd Edition Imperial Guard 1st Codex (page 28) and ever since then they haven't been mentioned again.

Unfortunately for Imperium fans and fortunately for Tau fans, Dieper III was conquered by the Tau led by Commander Shadowsun, Dieper III (now renamed to il'Wolaho) is now under Tau Control, and the Dieprian Mountain Men as a regiment, Probably no longer exists, though any regiments exported form the world may still exist Tanith First style.
