    The Savlar Chem-Dogs! decidedly one of the more unusual Regiments of the Imperial Guard as not only is it made up purely of hardened criminals, they also all near universally have heavy duty drug addictions!

    One small technical correction, the Savlar Chem Dogs aren't a penal regiment, they're a regular numbered Guard regiment tithed from a penal world, admittedly this is for the most part a distinction without a difference (beyond it's members being volunteers rather than directly sentenced to service and thus lacking bomb collars) but there is one key point, as a tithed regiment there is a chance no matter how small that a Chem Dog could claim a world they've won via right of conquest and given the sheer size of there Imperium there's a world out there somewhere ruled and built in the image of a Chem Dog regiment...

    A thought occurs, if they steal whatever they can get their hands on, notably including the gear and vehicles of nearby allied units, the only thing preventing them from becoming a highly effective combined arms formation is their lack of a functional command structure.

      You're looking at it wrong, likely fighting nids and living on the chemdogs homeword are probably equally or close in terms if shitty situations, but the appeal comes from the opportunities of joining the guard, there's no loot at home but in distant battlefields there is all sorts of loot, exotic and interesting foods, sight seeing and even a sense of accomplishment or purpose vs dying in a nothing death world.

      Thing is people lack perspective, specially in Imperium. Many see their lives as utter shit, but only after you loose that or run into even shittier situation you realize it that you had things pretty good after all. Though this depends on what your priorities are.
      Other thing fans might not realize is that you really think they tell about nids to anyone just like that. Only after joining you get the emperors most holy toilet paper, guard mans uplifting primer that might give glimpse to horrors you'l be facing with incorrect information and that shit wont last after first contact with the enemy and that point its way too late to ask to be shipped back home.

      If I remember right there was a world with massive prison complexes in the Cadian system that the prison guards were forced to overload the reactors and destroy at the opening of the 13th Black Crusade. As well Naval Armsmen and the Imperial Guard seem to routinely recruit from Prisons so I have to imagine while death penalties and conscription are regular the Imperium must have quite an extensive system of offenders that fall between the two, whether there's any systems for rehabilitation or whether said prison systems are maintained by local forces, Guard Regiments or a separate division of the Arbites is unclear.

    Love the Savlar Chemdogs I introduced several first time gamers in Only War to this Regiment as the intro to make sure they didn't get too attached. Then after several characters dying I let them play as Mordians, Steel Legion, and such. Later we went back and they played as Commissars to a Penal Legion and it was fun to watch them try and rangle the cats without murdering all their meat shields for the Orks coming after them.
