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...

[@adeptuscustode115]

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.

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.

[@Hellsong89]

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.

The Chemdogs aren't a penal legion. They are a Regement that just happens to be recruited from a Penal World. There is a difference.

[@ornu01]

So what you're saying is that I can play a full chaos army, and have them all somehow be loyalists? Cultists as Savlar Chem Dogs, Thousand Sons as Blood Ravens, Dark Mechanicum as edgy Mechanicus?

[@LethargicGM]

Alpha Legion as Alpha Legion Dark Angels as Dark Angels

[@robertstrong6798]

Perfect subject for me I’ve just started re-reading guants ghosts ! Guard done well are superb great job arch as usual 🎉 👏

[@Scott_the_Celt]

Ah the Chemdogs, the Deathskulls of the Imperium.

[@ChrisKCook]

"Sir those Orks in blue face paint have stolen our Taurox. Oh, never mind the Savlars have stolen it back..."

[@Scott_the_Celt]

"Wait sir, why are there Blood Ravens coming in on jump-packs?"

[@andreasmuller4666]

Your getting your old style back Arch, which is pretty nice to listen to.

[@andrewmacswain4108]

Love all your lore Arch. Hope to see Catachan Jungle Fighters sometime.

[@mikeyc2110]

Minitorum Clerk: sir. I just received a call from the security commander and he's raising all kinds of hell. Minitorum supervisor: why what's happened?. Minitorum clerk: well it appears somebody stole his safe. (Walks into supervisors office to see its been stripped of everything) Minitorum clerk: sir. What's happened?. Minitorum supervisor: Marcus. It appears we are victims of the chem dogs march to war.

[@markmikolay9019]

This is like having chaos cultists but on the imperial side.

[@victorwilliams357]

Elves in the sponsor , that's a grudge....

[@mivapusa]

Arch, by Girliman's buttcheeks, when do we get a video on the criminally underappreciated Commissar?

[@hallo-mt5tx]

they are essentially the dirlewanger brigade of the imperium

[@9r33ks]

LMAO the background music to RAID Shaddow Legend is slowed down, remixed version of Two Steps From Hell's Mass Effect 2 trailer music!! xD The song title is "Heart of Courage". BTW that was some awesome trailer. The game was awesome as well!

[@yetipotato8567]

With enough chems you can turn up for DAYYS!!!

[@DTSephiroth]

Savlar Chemdogs are basically Death Korp of Krieg on a massive amount of space meth.

[@macduc88]

Great video as always! Care to do a video about Enuncia?

[@brandonmyers1400]

lol I'd rather stay here on this death world then get sent home to that death world

[@shovel662]

It would be cool if there was any lore on PMCs. There is no shortage of work in the 41st millennium.

[@omegawilliam95s36]

Commissar: Whatcha got there? Chem Dog with a plasma pistol, power sword and jump pack: A smoothie.

[@alexhoffmann2948]

Love the lore keep it up man

[@Shatterverse]

Arch: "...Lehman Russ Executioner..." Me: _WHERE THE FUCK DID THEY GET THAT!?_

[@Alex-xt1rr]

"We found the tank stuck in no mens land and took it back with us to not let the enemy salvage it." - the "offical" story

[@Marinealver]

Okay, NOW EXPLAIN THE GODDAMN TITAN!!!

[@Alex-xt1rr]

@@Marinealver it was with them since first founding of the regiment see here *pointing at crudly painted on regimental number that are still wet* you just never noticed since it's a scout titan.

[@kovi567]

2:52 to miss the nord's shilling.

[@dylanmontgomery5450]

Random thought that came to me for an ork starship. Red ones go faster that is a fact. When you approach the speed of light you encounter blueshift. So an ork ship traveling at relativistic speeds will turn blue slow down become red then speed back up.

You live in a winter hellscape. Which sleeping bag is the best to survive the winter?

[@uri5409]

Love guard lore. The human sprit makes a wonderful lesson.

[@franciscorui]

It is said that if you put the Chem-dogs and a ratling regiment together that battlefield equipment will simply disappear.

[@CommissarDan]

Do Mordant Acid-Dogs next, to keep it positive.

[@devonphillips3854]

Okay for the 71st Regiment of the chem dogs where'd they find the tank how they manage to steal it and how they got rid of the crew that's my only question

[@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus]

Shallow graves and a lot of moxie

[@joelmaynard5590]

I know in normal penal units, they have the opportunity to be transferred to the regular army where they can recieve the regular army pay, benefits, and even the eventual retirement. I wonder if there are any recorded cases of chem dogs being transfered from penal legions to non penal units or being given the right to settle on conquered worlds?

[@taccovert4]

They probably offered it, if the Chem Dog gave up their loot.......got turned down.

[@haywire8368]

"If Trazyn had his own legion"

[@Marinealver]

Who's to say he doesn't already have a regiment or two?

[@williamdusautoir5988]

Will we ever have a video about the deathguards or Mortarion ? Not Nathaniel Garro

[@connormitchelson8012]

savlar chem-dogs so basically they are to standard penal legions what the death korps is to standard imperial guard regiments best deployed alone or with others of the same and you put them where the others fail also i wonder if a death korps guardsman and a savlar chem-dog would be able to share the importance of their respective facial fashion?

[@IapitusMcHeimer]

For a few brief moments of horror I thought you were going to say the penal Legion looted ork weaponry that somehow remained functional

[@lunarlegion7157]

Am I the only one who imagines zholkers command staff joining the chemdogs and being kidnapped by dark eldar and thinking to themselves fuck the justice system.

[@zozo4177]

Criminals can improvise and adapt

[@tron-do7ii]

I actually have a question, arch, if you see this. Do you receive sponsorship money biased upon activity inside the little ad segment or is it just a flat pay out and we can skip without thinking?

[@DefaultFlame]

I don't actually know, but I suspect they just check how many referrals they get via his code over time. But they also seem to just shotgun sponsorships, so maybe they don't actually care.

[@chriscalvin5083]

Great video arch

[@scasimir1000]

You know that can be like a one-shot campaign for 40K

[@mikoajpietrych6168]

seems like the only Imperium force that's better at stealing than Blood Ravens also seems like only regiment that can both increas and decreas in size just by being stationed in underhive

[@ChrisKCook]

Forgeworld Stygies VIII is pretty good at it too...

[@desperado3236]

Strange, i thought you already did a video on this... Oh well. I bet other regiments, even other chemdogs serving alongside them, would have to keep a really close eye on their equipment. Even the ones nailed down. And especially the contents of the medicae tent. Incase you wind up having to go there after being shot in the ass only to find out all the pain killers and other useful drugs have mysteriously disappeared during the night. Aswell as half your other stuff. Including the stuff you spent all day nailing. Like the blood ravens, they sound like they would prove the term 'steal everything not nailed down' to be wishful thinking as everything, including the nails would be gone if you looked away for a second.
