The Catachan Captain has the widest arsenal in the Regiment. It may take a laspistol or a shotgun, the Catachan auto-shotgun for the reveal, and a close-combat blade — a devil's-claw or a power sword. It alone bears the refractor field, and may carry a camo cloak to set up hidden and a vox-caster to extend its Orders. Grenades run to frag, krak and the demolition charge — everything the ambush might ask of its Devil.

The Catachan Sergeant carries the ambush-leader's kit. It may take a laspistol and a devil's-claw or a chainsword, wears flak beneath a camo cloak, and draws grenades to frag, krak and the demolition charge. It has the tools to lead a knot of the gang into the terrain and spring it, but not the Captain's refractor field or command gear.

The Commissar bears the Imperium's discipline kit. It may take a bolt pistol or plasma pistol and a power sword or chainsword, wears flak beneath a refractor field, and carries frag and krak grenades. It is armed to enforce the line rather than to spring the ambush — Catachan fields it as an option, and leans on it least of any Regiment.

The Demolitions Expert is armed for the breach. It may take a laspistol, a shotgun, a special weapon — a meltagun or a flamer — and a Catachan fighting knife. Its real craft is the wargear: trapper's snares to seed the ground and Catachan stims for the killing edge, alongside frag, krak and the signature toxic-bog demolition charge. Flak is its only armour; the trap is its defence.

The Heavy-Weapons Team is built around one weapon. It fields a heavy bolter or an autocannon on its two-crew platform, with a laspistol and a fighting knife for when the enemy closes, and flak for what little protection it can spare. Everything else is the hide it fires from — cover the enemy never scouted.

The Catachan Jungle Fighter carries the Regiment's core kit. It may take a Catachan fighting knife, a lasgun or shotgun, and a laspistol, and it wears flak beneath the signature camo cloak that lets it vanish into terrain. Grenades run to frag and krak. It is the leaned knife line, armed to close from the dark and kill at arm's length.

The Ogryn takes one of two loadouts: a ripper-gun for the abhuman that fires as it charges, or a bullgryn-maul swung from behind a slabshield. Ogryn plate is its skin either way, and it carries frag grenades in one great fist. It is a blunt instrument, and it is issued only what a blunt instrument needs.

The Regimental Medic carries a specialist's light kit — a laspistol and a Catachan fighting knife, as every knife-line body does. Its real equipment is the narthecium that keeps the gang alive and the augmetics that offset a lasting injury. Flak and a frag grenade round it out. It is armed to save fighters, not to lead the kill.

The Special-Weapons Trooper is defined by its special weapon — a flamer or a meltagun for the close breach — backed by a shotgun or laspistol and a Catachan fighting knife. Flak is its armour, frag and krak its grenades. Catachan leans the choice to the short, devastating kill rather than the long-range gun.

The Whiteshield carries the green recruit's minimal kit — a lasgun, a laspistol, a Catachan fighting knife, and a scrap of light flak that is the poorest armour in the gang. A single frag grenade completes it. It is issued what a soldier still learning the dark can be trusted with, and no more.
