McGowan Guard - loyalist Guard.

Hard-hitting, fast attack melee army with highly-proficient Chosen-men sniper units.

Origin chapter World Eaters

Tartan colour scheme, wearing kilts and a sash.

Fragments of the World Eaters chapter divided; many slain in combat by former Chapter brothers.

After several fierce close combat engagements, Captain McLeod although heavily outnumbered and several of his sections cut off from one another, he managed to regroup his warriors and detonate a city-destroying bomb which forced the corrupt to withdraw.

Captain McLeod and his men were severely injured, low on ammo, reserves and his ships badly in need of repair. Around sixty loyalist marines survived; after managing to get engines back online and back to more a secure AO, the survivors eventually formed into the McLeod clan, after their commanders' bravery, leadership and loyalty.

Many events that occurred around these years remain a mystery such as; their times are World Eaters and the Nails.

The McLeod clan are considered one of the true loyalist chapters, utterly loyal to the Emperor. After witnessing first hand, their own chapter brothers betraying them, they were given the rare role of hunting heretics and seeking out corruption.

Once a chapter has been designated heretics, the McLeod clan are given the extermination order. They entirely and tortuously eradicate the very existence of the target.

Their loyalty unrelenting; many view them as custode's and an Imperium Death Squad.

Captain McLeod was designated Chapter Master. He wields a Paragon Claymore, bestowed upon him by the Highlords. His firearm is a master-crafted combi-melta for close combat and is loaded with Kraken rounds. He wears Terminator armour with a kilt attached.

McLeod Chapter predominately focuses on Terminator squads and Jump-Pack troops for melee. Each marine wears a kilt and a sash over their armour and carries melee weaponry.

The unit differing from the rest is the "Chosen Men," a group of snipers, hand-chosen and welding stalker bolt rifles which fires Stalker or Metal Slug rounds.

The main Terminator units are known as the Chieftains, each carrying Claymores or Thunder Hammers.

The Highlanders are power armoured jump-pack melee troops with chain-swords, shields or shotguns.

The Rangers are power armoured stalkers and ambushers, waiting silently in the shadows to strike. Armed with combat knives and Volkite pistol.

The primary tactical units, the "Clansmen" are armed with Volkite rifles with Las-cannons or Heavy Flamers as support.

One of the chief commanders is Interrogator Chaplain "Winning," a man that is met when its time to be extinguished. Feared by even space marines, he has a horrific reputation and carries a specialist made chain-claymore.

Their primary dreadnought is the Stirling dreadnought, which is armed with a massive Thunder Hammer, even larger than the Nemesis Dreadknights. Storm Bolters loaded with Vengenace rounds are fitted on each arm. Another choice to is the Long-man Spear, a giant pike which is efficient against fast-moving targets.

Storm Land-speeders are the standard transport, loaded with Clansmen and armed with a Volkite Culverin.

The McLeod clans home is Dunvegan Castle, a massive fortress-like castle based on the Isle of Skye, and surrounded with the unforgiven Highlands. Unmerciful anti-aircraft guns are installed around the mountains and sharing their homeworld is the Imperial Guard regiment the "McGowan Guard."

The McGowan Guard are brutal guardsmen also wearing kilts and a sash, they are armed with Hellguns, Shotguns or Bastard Swords and Hellpistols. Enjoying a fight, they are mountainous Highland troops and have their special unit "the Bastards," similar to the Chosen-men and Rangers. Using the Long-Las for sniping or Cross-Las for short-range mayhem, a type of armour-piercing laser shot crossbow, and they are equipped with Commando daggers.

Note, photo is a reference, they would actually have a sash covering over one shoulder, and a kilt fitted around their waist. Their kilt would be tartan (red, green, yellow, black), and of course, they would have a Bagpipes section which would play when going into combat.
