BOOM Goes Victoria Miniatures’ New Poor Penal Guardsman
June 11, 2019 by brennon
What do you do with prisoners in the grimdark future? Well, Victoria Miniatures strap bombs to them and send them running into the enemy lines so they can cause some havoc before their miserable lives are over.
This fellow looks suitably deranged, most likely due to the influence of whatever mind-altering drugs his captors have pumped into his system. I could genuinely see a force of Imperial Guardsmen calling up some of their Penal Legion, strapping bombs onto them and sending them wandering into the battlefield to try and slow down the advance of the enemy.
Maybe Prisoner 34761 here will end up inside the gullet of a Carnifex before the bomb goes off and splits it in two? Suddenly this fellows a war hero!
This model is free with orders of a certain size from Victoria Miniatures right now.
Will you be adding him into your force?

While most of that sculpt isn’t bad that head is really bad looking.
Maybe that’s the kind of face a mutant has when he realises he’s carrying high explosives ? 😉
I like that Victoria Miniatures expand the range of guard regiments that we are lacking from GW
I could’ve used a few of those for my penal squads back in the day! Now i’m all “Greater Good” 😉
Maybe you could convert the granats to look more like a tau shield generator or something like that. What better use could there be for a human converted to the greater good, then being a low tech drone alternative?
i suppose so 🙂
is he from a contaminated world?
Its the Imperium of man! they are all contaminated! they just don’t know it yet.
‘splosion man!
Wow that is grim. Wow that is dark.
