So Ogryns are not famous for having any degree of intellect.
So I would therefore therefore suggest
not a great deal can be expected of them regarding adherence to rules and regulations.
The question is,
What crime wold an Ogryn have to commit to find himself posted to a penal legion.
My suggestion is ...
''Present on parade with boots on the wrong feet".

Drinking the commander's liquor stash while assigned to guard it. Death by hanging; commuted to life in the Penal Legions as the rope wasn't strong enough.

Spit-shining a commanding officer's medals whilst they are still attached to the uniform said officer is wearing.

I wonder if said ogryn took the booze out of the bottle before hiding it inside himself?

Ogryns would likely be attached directly to penal troops for shock missions, rather than sent there.

Well RT, that's not very fair is it ?
Somewhat regressive I'd say.
And what about their abhuman rights ?
De facto punished for committing no crime.
The imperium we all cherish don't act like Nazis ... do they ?
However, to tap into your extensive knowledge of the Imperial Guard (which I respect, admire and love), what crime would a ogryn have to commit to receive a punishment that isn't death ?

I thought the Lord Solar always rode cupola, so he could see things to conquer.

Chimeras are a bit bland for someone with that rank. They could be riding in a Leviathan mobile command fortress, in a Storm Lord or on the back of a giant water vole.
Unless the 'wind' was toxic or explosive and someone actually ended up in the infirmary.

Eating the C.O's prize hunting dog/horse. Really, it has to be something absurd. Ogyrns lack the mental capacity to really indulge in non-capital crimes like corruption, blackmail, calling in an incorrect fire mission, and they're not really smart enough to develop applicable talents for commando missions (a la Last Chancers). That leaves them as shock infantry, and, really, you'd just attach all the Ogyns you had to the Penal Legion and use them for the same suicidal frontal assaults. |

Winning an arm-wrestling contest with a Sentinel Powerlifter.
Although he got to keep the extra rations he won, Mongo *did* get six weeks in the hot box for breaking a perfectly good Sentinel.
