16. Affixthi Regiment - this regiment has hyic (120-cell) symmetry, and contains 100 polychora.
17. Sishi Regiment - Sishi is the small stellated 120-cell, its regiment contains 2 regulars, 8 swirlprisms, and 34 others - the "others" are mentioned here. (34 total).
18. Ditetrahedrals - this group contains those with vertex figures shaped like the truncated tetrahedron, and the "small rhombitetratetrahedron" (looks like cuboctahedron), and their facetings. (213 total).
19. Prisms - this contains the prisms of the uniform polyhedra, I also call them "Hedrisms". (74 total).
20. Miscellaneous - this contains the 6 antiprisms (includes grand antiprism), the 6 normal snubs, the 10 swirlprisms, and 2 recent discoveries with 4,4 duoprism symmetry. (24 total).
21. Padohi Super Regiment - padohi has a pentagonal antipodium vertex figure, its regiment contains a whopping 354 polychora.
22. Gidipthi Super Regiment - gidipthi has a pentagonal frustrum vertex figure, its regiment also contains 354 polychora. Many of these are very intricate.
23. Rissidtixhi Super Regiment - rissidtixhi has a ditrigon prism vertex figure, its regiment contains 316 polychora.
24. Stut Phiddix Super Regiment - stut phiddix has a triagular cupola shaped vertex figure and its regiment contains 238 polychora.
25. Getit Xethi Super Regiment - getit xethi has a vertex figure which resembles stut phiddix's but sort of squashed a bit, this regiment has 238 polychora.
26. Blends - this contains a non-Wythoffian regiment of 16 polychora.
27. Baby Monster Snubs - this contains 2 regiments of 15 non-Wythoffian snubs, many are chiral.
28. Idcossids - this is one of the grandest regiments of all, containing a whopping 2749 non-Wythoffian snubs - these are horrificly complex, nearly all are chiral. Based on the compound of 10 padohis.
29. Dircospids - this is another horrific regiment of 2749 non-Wythoffian snubs, nearly all are chiral. This regiment most likely contains the most complex polychoron. Based on the compound of 10 gidipthis.
