Savlar Chem Dogs are a penal legion of the Imperium's hardest criminals that the [[Adeptus Arbites]] are able to catch, arm and ship off to some God-Emperor-forsaken battlefield and told to '''capture that hill!'''  Of course, given that someone guilty of jay walking can end up in a penal legion, "hardened criminal" is a rather flexible term in the Imperium.  On the other-hand, it says something about the importance of the Emperor and the fanaticism of humanity in the 40K setting that, on any (loyal) world, even the worst criminal scum are zealously loyal to the Emperor and enjoy purging heretics. Basically, you may be a mass-murdering bastard with a body count higher than Hitler and Stalin combined, but you ain't no heretic!
Savlar was once a mining colony, a toxic wasteland that was of little use to the Imperium except for the mineral deposits that dotted the service of its moons. In order to get workers to the planet it was made a penal colony after Adeptus Terra found it wasn't meeting it's quota for its Imperial Tieth. This introduction of penal labour made the planet meet it's quota and then some, supplying three civilised worlds and two Forge Worlds, however the high mortality rate in the poisonous mines soon caused agitation with the inmates of the prison-planet.


When the War of Armageddon started, Judge Callister, the magistrate in charge of Savlar, found that he had a force of millions of the most cut-throat and deadly thieves and murderers that would take being taken to a war-torn battlefield as a step-up from the mines of Savlar's moons.  However, the Judge gave two instructions to the Dogs to keep their loyalty - That they'd be allowed to keep anything they find on the battlefield and that if they broke the law again they'd be sent back to Salvar.


Under-equiped, they more than make up for it by [[Blood Ravens#Bloody_Magpies|stealing from any other Imperial regiments stationed near them during campaigns]]. They are largely known, and modeled, for wearing re-breathers attached to crude canisters on their back and ragged clothing. The canisters more than often are filled with combat drugs of some sort, so they're basically huffing paint all the time.

Huffing paint, capturing planets, nicking your stuff
We're ready for our close ups, Mr Yarrick

Savlar Chem Dogs are a penal legion of the Imperium's hardest criminals that the Adeptus Arbites are able to catch, arm and ship off to some God-Emperor-forsaken battlefield and told to capture that hill!

Savlar was once a mining colony, a toxic wasteland that was of little use to the Imperium except for the mineral deposits that dotted the service of its moons. In order to get workers to the planet it was made a penal colony after Adeptus Terra found it wasn't meeting it's quota for its Imperial Tieth. This introduction of penal labour made the planet meet it's quota and then some, supplying three civilised worlds and two Forge Worlds, however the high mortality rate in the poisonous mines soon caused agitation with the inmates of the prison-planet.

When the War of Armageddon started, Judge Callister, the magistrate in charge of Savlar, found that he had a force of millions of the most cut-throat and deadly thieves and murderers that would take being taken to a war-torn battlefield as a step-up from the mines of Savlar's moons. However, the Judge gave two instructions to the Dogs to keep their loyalty - That they'd be allowed to keep anything they find on the battlefield and that if they broke the law again they'd be sent back to Salvar.

Under-equipped, they more than make up for it by stealing from any other Imperial regiments stationed near them during campaigns. They are largely known for wearing rebreathers attached to crude canisters on their back and ragged clothing. The canisters more than often are filled with combat drugs of some sort, so they're basically huffing paint all the time.

History

Chem-dogs were introduced as one of the guard regiments taking part in the 3rd War of Armageddon, particularly the 14th in Warzone Infernous. The other regiment explicitly mentioned in the fluff are the 71st who took part in the ill-fated campaign of the chlorine-swamps of Goru.

Older editions had them with Commissars (someone is needed to shoot them in the back in case the convicts get ideas), Ogryns (perhaps the only creatures comfortable around the Dogs), Rough Riders (Mutated-looking beasts native to Savlar) and chem-inhalers.


Modelling

Pig Iron Productions do some good respirator heads and chunky backpacks. Alternatively, MaxMini does Tox Guardsmen Heads and Guardsmen Backpacks. Finally, Victoria Miniatures do a variety of Gas-masked Heads and Bald heads with Gas-masks as well as a range of chem-tank backpacks. Anvil Industries has some Armour Plates, and Victoria Miniatures is back with groin guards that could be used to create a "thrown-together" look for the armour of your guardsmen.

Cadian Guardsmen could be used for the base, or Catachan Guardsmen depending on the armoured-to-buff ratio you want your models to look.
