–Sergeant Maximilian The Schola Progenium regiment known as the Silvered Bullets are famous for their direct approach to war. For them there is really only one main tactic, to rush the enemy with shotguns ready. It doesn’t always work but they do know when to employ the tactic and has a good track-record. Unlike most Tempest troops they do not use hot-shot las-weaponry but instead favour solid projectile weaponry or, when available, bolt weapons. This is due to their main Drill abbot “Old Silver” who does not believe in las- weapons being too effective. Old Silver may be an odd character but he is a good drill abbot none the less and the Argena 2nd are some of the best marksmen ever to hold shotguns.
