The Savlar Chem Dogs are typical of many Penal Legions in the Imperial Guard. Recruits are drawn from the prisons on the planet Savlar by the promise to allow them to keep anything they take from the battlefield, as well as the chance to get away from Savlar's highly toxic environment.

Recruitment & Training

Savlar Chem Dogs are recruited from the Penal colonies on the planet Savlar, and come from the worst murderers, thieves and miscellaneous scoundrels. They were originally created by Judge Callistar in order to suppress the rebellions on the planet.

Battle Style

They were used to fight in the Third War for Armageddon and excel in fighting in Hive Cities and close quarters. They were used beneath the cities to repel any Orks trying to invade the cramped, toxic regions.

They get their courage mainly from the use of nitro-chem inhalers, and are just as likely to steal from other regiments (and each other!) as they are from the enemy.

They also have a high number of Commissars, since they are actually a Penal Legion regiment. They have access to Ogryns and a special type of Rough Riders that are altered with chemicals.

Equipment

Savlar Chem Regiments are not trusted with some of the more ancient weapons used by other regiments, and are mostly given Flamers and heavy bolters. The Savlar rebreather is bulky and has four hoses. They sometimes have dust goggles, occasional improved armour, stolen vox-casters, and the rare "archeotech."
