Penal (no, not Penile) Legian squad. in this case I have decided to make my own, as you have to as there are no models. I took inspiration (stole) the idea from some other guy on the internet.

these will have my new colour scheme, as shown by the "tester" one i finished last night.

what do you think?



"The bone forest was full with soldiers checking weapons and adjusting kit. the stark white poles that used to be trees clashed with the sand blowing around. less than a mile ahead the enemy camp seemed to be stirring with the dawn. to the left of the line the soldiers made the same preparations as everyone else but were also casting glances to the large group of "men" next on the flank.
The primitive humanoids native to the northern continent had suffered more than anyone else from the constant battles being fought and the tyranny of the Ork. It was natural that eventually they would side with the Imperial forces, especially as after research by the Terran scribes found that they were not actually xenos, but decended from a small Earth ship that had crashed tens of thousands of years ago and were therefore Abhuman and were under provisional Sanction.
Small squads had been shaped into something like a military unit, and were given arms and equipment and human advisors to lead the squads.
suddenly at the very end of the line a roar went up, and shots echoed through the spindly forest. A large Ork Komando team had infiltrated the column and ambushed a heavy weapon platoon on the flank. The only thing between the huge Orks and the main body of men was the fifty or so troops of the Native Militia.

Many of the Orks just turned and ran... the lucky ones got quite far. "

Awesome! Yea! Imperial Guard Beastmen! It's nice to see a modern rendition of a Rogue Trader era concept (are seeing the beginning of a Rogue Trader revival on tLatD?)
I've been looking forward to seeing these since you first mentioned you were going to make them, looking great so far

the rules for penal legion are not that fluffy... they COULD have made them all have their heads blown off if they failed a leadership test... etc.

but the fact they are pretty savage, with all different random hand to hand skills...
