Wow I was wondering thw final outcome of egat had caused that. Our faithful lore master was attacked by a heretic . Why the Emporium gaurds STC's so close..... Chaos has no place here ! Welcome back loremaster
How you so wholesome Baldermort..I might be getting a bit servo-curious because of you. Reckon I talk with my local techpriest about these confusing feelings?
Ah, the penal legion! I will not forget one of my DnD games, where I introduces a small penal legion unit. These men and women were meant to be mere cannon fodder, slow some tyrranids till imperial forces could retreat. Yet a commissar decided to salvage what was left of them. Thus they became elite troopers, fought against all manner of chaos spawn, and emerged victorious. It was so glorious...
Right back in the swing of it with one of the darkest parts of the setting, had to sub to the Patreon were gone to get my fix, great to see you back old baldy!
Hey ive never been this on time for one. Excited to learn about this one since i think its one case where 40k and reality might end up similar if my history recollection properly serves on casualty figures of penal battalions of napoleon and stalin.
Excellent! Topic is too appropriate 😂. Hope all is well & running on all 8! Many thanx Grand Narrator 👍👍. May U remain in the Emperor's light... Victorus aut Mortis ⚔️
Algorithm juice. I appreciate your efforts. Edit: I really enjoyed the story. I have a hard time visualizing, anything, but i could see this. Very talented
Another great entrance in your ever increasing library. Though I am saddened to see you not mentioning the Last Chancers. But perhaps they deserve their own video.
Hell Yes! Miss the Penal Legions of the old days. Also there are quite a few videos in your library that are "hidden" still. Just FYI. And Judge Josephus! Tarquinus's #2!❤
The Penal Legions we the inspiration for my Orc Blood Bowl Team "Da Orcatraz Def-Rowaz". The friend that got me into 40k whole hog, was a Guard Player. He fielded as many Penal Legions, Ogryns, and Beastman regiments as he was allowed.he loved his Commissars as well. My 40k life has been largely forged by this guy. I was compelled to play his "bad guys" and in those days (RT/2nd Ed) often played Chaos or Genestealer Cults. So many amazing games. One eternally memorable game where a normal Commissar was locked in combat with a Chaos Dreadnought from Turn 2, for the rest of the 5 round game. Neither was slain, and Rivalries were forged. Good times. His Human Bombs were devastating. His Penal Line Troopers won many a victory for the Imperium, and backed by Beastmen and Ogryns they seemed unstoppable.
The officers of the Penal Legions is the most interesting part, IMO. There are examples in the lore of officers from the Guard being sent to the Prnal Legions for being distantly related to a heretic, advocating for more humane treatment for their soldiers, or refusing to enact a suicidal charge.
Imperial Guard, 5th Edition by Robin Cruddace 2008, Forces of the Imperial Guard page 41 - PENAL LEGION TROOPS. Such a flavour unit and you could kit bash models to do your own version of them. Now? We have nothing.
This ought to be the punishment for hackers and thieves IRL... Glad you're back Baldy and love these pieces. Reminds me of the tank crew narratives a little, love how you tied all of them together a little and still explored lore for the topic of the day. Fine writing and narrating indeed!
Many believe that redemption is beyond approach within the Imperium, but in truth is very much possible for many who have sinned against the Emperor, though like many things in the Imperial Cult it requires sacrifices and death achieve it.
Can't tell you how happy i am, that you got your channel back and we get to enjoy your narrations again. Thanks baldermort and all the best to you! Umbra sumus

Our faithful lore master was attacked by a heretic . Why the Emporium gaurds STC's so close.....
Chaos has no place here !
Welcome back loremaster
Oooo a cameo from Josephus, Tarquinius’s second. Well done brother Baldermort :)

THE KING, HAS RETURNED!
Ah, the penal legion! I will not forget one of my DnD games, where I introduces a small penal legion unit.

Thus they became elite troopers, fought against all manner of chaos spawn, and emerged victorious. It was so glorious...
Yay! You absolutely made my work 10x better!
Lore time! Yaaay!
It's really great to have honorable brother Baldermort back. Everything is back to normal.
"boom, boom, boom"
Ah, the famous line from the poem "The German Guns" by Private S. Baldrick.
A very _cunning_ poet, that one 😆👌!
Ding-a-ling-a-ling.
Right back in the swing of it with one of the darkest parts of the setting, had to sub to the Patreon were gone to get my fix, great to see you back old baldy!

@VikMTB he got hacked a couple days ago.
Hey ive never been this on time for one. Excited to learn about this one since i think its one case where 40k and reality might end up similar if my history recollection properly serves on casualty figures of penal battalions of napoleon and stalin.
Oh ho! A TnT lore snippet! Wonderful!
I have always wanted a datasheet for a penal squad.
Loved the video.
Look back to 3rd edition I think, they had em
Excellent grimdark material. The story is so delightfully nasty.
Praise the God Emperor Jesus Christ. I’m so overjoyed you are BACK BABY!!
YAY! More Baldermort Lore!!
Glad you're back mate!!!
Just in time for work!
So happy to see you back and in action baldy. Top form as always.

Much love to you lord baldermort ❤
I have been waiting for a post like this thank you baldermort. P.S good to see you back.
Excellent! Topic is too appropriate 😂.
Hope all is well & running on all 8! Many thanx Grand Narrator 👍👍. May U remain in the Emperor's light... Victorus aut Mortis ⚔️

Mid week bliss!! My thanks as always, oh Bald one!
Yeah! Penal Legion lore. Thank you!
Another great entrance in your ever increasing library.
Though I am saddened to see you not mentioning the Last Chancers.
But perhaps they deserve their own video.
Thank you, Baldermort!
Came for the dermatologist. Stayed for the 40k
Hell Yes! Miss the Penal Legions of the old days.
Also there are quite a few videos in your library that are "hidden" still. Just FYI.

Welcome back, buddy!

New drinking game: Take a shot every time Baldermort says “penal”. 😆

Happy to have you back!!
Days ending in "-y" are better with Baldermort. Ave Imperator!
Fantastic episode man you could feel the struggle.
Glad you’re back!

I think darktide underlined just how easy it is to get tossed in the brig for nonsense lol. Good to see you're back, Baldermort!
Good to hear another one of your finely crafted tales.
My introduction to the setting was ‘The last Chancers’ 16 years ago. I pray it makes it to Audio
Hell yeah he got his channel back!
UGH THANK GOD UOUR BACK I WAS UPSET TO HEAR THAT UOU GOT HACKED
Welcome back good Sah, For the Emperor and the All Father
Not quite the same thing but the inductii for the guard
That's the white shields actually
@bigloving inductii were expendable different to scout/WS recruits
