The Penal Legions mod is an additional race modification for Dawn of War Soulstorm, based on Penal Legions and also Abhumans from Militarum Auxilla, the division of the Astra Militarum that contains most of the Abhuman units of the Imperial Guard. Penal Legions are Imperial Guard forces consisting entirely of convicted criminals, debtors, liberals and other social transgressors against the Imperium of Man. By serving in the Penal Legions these individuals are given the chance of redeeming themselves in the eyes of the Emperor. An Abhuman is a descendant of baseline Human settlers whose ancestors mutated and physically adapted to various extreme environmental conditions after being isolated for thousands of standard years on colony worlds across the galaxy. Some Abhumans may also be intentionally genetically engineered mutants created for a specific purpose. The mod is still on development!
Beastmen (Homo sapiens variatus) are bestial abhumans combining the forms of animal and human. They were formerly recruited for the Imperial Guard, where they were valued mainly for their bloodlust; they fought for the Emperor in order to atone for their sin of being born mutants. In recent centuries there has been a political shift within the Imperium. In the 41st Millennium, Beastmen are often now classified as mutants and as a result are the subject of severe Imperial persecution. This persecution, of course, has led many Beastmen to seek protection in the service of Chaos. Some few have been introduced to the Imperial Cult. These beastmen now serve in the Penal Legions!
Nice imperial Beastmen!
wow, these might be the best beastmen models I've ever seen.
also, the animations look good
Ezarik and I are making out of what I had, but they clearly have a different vision, but these are Imperial Beastmen, they still do not understand that Chaos is power and the gods of chaos only want Beastmen to themselves.
