Default Penal Legions? Slaan?

I was skimming through the some fluff (I think it was the Fluff Bible) and I came across some info on Penal Legions and the Slaan. I'd like to know more.

the penal legions are prisoner warriors much like the last chancers

the slaan are the leaders of the lizard race a direct take from the lizard men of WFB

What happened to the Slaan? Has anyone actually built a Penal Legion army?

Last Chancers are a Penal Legion, that's the premise behind the books.

40K Slann aren't really anything like Fantasy's Lizardmen.

Slann are an intelligent alien species, there is a picture of one on the aliens pages in the 40K hardback rulebooks background section. Think WFB Lizardman Saurus with armour.

Savlar Chem-Dogs are a penal legion that was on Armageddon and they owned all the orks that tried to tunnel into the under hive of Hades.

They even have their sample legion doctrines in the IG codex.

Penal legion with explosive collars- I have some of the models kicking about from the old rogue trader days!

There also used to be "human bombs", members of the Penal legion given a chance to redeem themselves, wearing a bomb vest they would charge forward and detonate themselves in the midst of the enemy (from the second they put the vest on they were deemed forgiven in the eyes of the emperor) - if the bomb failed the were free to go (should they survive the battle)!

They were removed from the list several years ago-a prudent move given todays climate!

haha why orange?

"bit of fake tan for you sir?"

"aye lad. just slap it on..."

being sent to a Penal Legion is/was one of the most merciful punishments awaiting recalcitrant Guardsmen (which really says a lot about the Imperium's Justice system)
