Madras Tigers hail from the planet of Madras Prime; an Imperial Fortress World renown for producing fierce and loyal soldiers. The Madras Tigers regiments are all-volunteer fighting forces drawn from the Planetary Defense Forces (PDF). It is a prestigious honour for the men and women of Madras Prime to serve the God Emperor in the Imperial Guard. Every year when new Imperial Guard regiments are raised, volunteers for the Madras Tigers outnumber the available slots by a ratio of at least three-to-one (some years this ratio is as high as five-to-one). Thus, only best PDF soldiers make the cut for the Madras Tigers regiments.
