Does anyone know of a list of the different IG units? I mean those found in "Offical" publications.
I have seen such lists for the Marine Chapters, but I do not recall one for the IG.
Thanks

I've seen many talked about in W/D ... but I don't know if there is a "list" since there would be hundreds of worlds that they come from. Maybe in a 40K Codex ?

I know in theory there could be thousands. What I also know if, like the Space marines, GW will focus in on a few units over and over again. What I was wondering about is those 20 or so that must have found theore way into the fluff.
I was thinking of something like the White Scars of IG. They are spoke of, but not the "main" units.

There have been several "lists" for IG in the White Dwarf over the years. The Armageddon website had some, as did the Eye of Terror Codex. Of Course, the new IG codex has some of those.
But AFAIK there hasn't been a compilation, which is a shame. Here's a list of different regiments I have seen, listed by the source. "No info" means that there was only a name and no fluff.
From IG Codex:
Armageddon Steel Legion
Cadian Shock troops
Catachan Jungle Fighters
Death Korps of Krieg
Harakoni Warhawks
Kanak Skull Takers
Mordian Iron Guard
Savlar Chem Dogs
Tallarn Desert Raiders
Tanith First & Only
Terrax Guard
Valhallan Ice Warriors
From Armageddon Website:
Armageddon Ork Hunters
Arphista Penal Legion (No Info)
Asgardian Rangers
Elysian Drop Troops
Jopall Identured Squadrons
Krourk Ogryn Auxilia
Minervan Tank Legion
Monglor Ogryn Auxilia
Noctan Strike Forces
Ocanon Phalanx Troops (No Info)
Pyran Dragoons
Savlar Chem-Riders (No Info)
Semtexian Bombardiers
Zouvan Skirmishers
From Codex: Eye of Terror. All are in the "No info" category
Avellornian Gunners
Bar-El Penal Legion
Gudrunite Rifles
Kellersburg Irregulars
Knovian Gharkas
Narsine Yeomanry
Thracian Guard
Van De'Mans World "Redbacks"
Zenonian Free Companies
WD 284:
Necromundan 8th "The Spiders"
Mordant 303rd "Acid Dogs"
Drookian Fen Guard
Finreht Highlanders
Jouran Dragoons
Doubtless there are others, but these are what I have found.

The problem is that that there are an endless supply of regiments and home worlds, and no standardised structure such as the Marines. This makes it difficult to go beyond 'the most common units'. You could also look at the Blue Bloods, Ghosts and others in the Gaunt books (I have always wanted a regiment of the Imperial Guard with the reversible reflective armour plates that fought with the Ghosts.... now, what were they called...?).

I've published the list from the Armageddon background a number of times on this page. It is also in the new E-A rule book as well as in the 40k Armageddon rule book and on the web site.
I've got a project to build a Jopalli regiment!
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Great work Guys ! Yes, I remember many of those ! I number my IG Rgts/Bdes after units I served in - 187th, 31st & 58th Rgts and 3rd & 197th Bdes. But the Bns, Cos, and Dets are pure G/W !

Yep, I noticed that too. Maybe there's going to be Hexogenian grenadiers of Seefourtian demolishers...
The 8th Necromundan is REALLY old regiment which has been around since Rogue Trader.
Krieg Panzer Divisions have also been mentioned briefly, but there' next to no fluff about them.

There is a name that sounds well together. I like it.

Not for IG. That sounds too much like a fallen Marine Chapter.
