I also think that the Explosive Collars from Dark Heresy Core should also be brought back, Penal Colony Regiments just seem incomplete without them.
Now this is a bit of-topic but I think that Explosive Collars for Penal Regiments are rather silly. I mean sure the idea is nice but I think it would be much more fitting if Penal Regiments were sent into combat not because otherwise their heads explode but because if they fall back they just get mowed down by some guys with machine guns.
I've recently played Men of War: Condemned Heroes (which has a bunch of Russian Penal Soldier in it) and there's a very gruesome scene right near the beginning where a bunch of penal legionaries are ordered to charge a german trench, some of them break, fall back and are mowed down by russian MGs that hold the position they took just moments before.

Yes, that is a far more likely scenario, but I think that the option to use Explosive Collars should be available for the people who want it.
Without Signature
Explosives collars are good because in some situations, you send suicide soldiers in precisely because they're expendable, and many situations where you want that are those where you might not have support, or a gun-line behind them. For instance, perhaps you para-drop the Legionnaires into deep enemy cover, because chances are slim they can accomplish the objective, but better them than normal troops. There's plenty of potential situations where they might be operating as such on their own, so explosive collars are a nice option.
You gonna get PURGED!

I'm not saying I want it now, I'm saying I would like to see it.
Though I do think the Valkyrie is actually missing and should be in the main book, as is the horse.
Oh sorry I wasn't meaning to imply that you were being whiny or anything, that was an entirely unsarcastic lust for new equipment, I was replying to someone else's comment that we could just wait and a book with more equipment would come out and trying to imply that while yes we could wait for a new book to come out in what December/January? but if we want shiny stuff now we have to come up with it ourselves.
I agree with you that horses at least should be in the main book, people have said that lances are, if horses arn't in there then I dread to think of the "creative" ways players will get round it (knowing my player party I'm thinking a hellhound covered with lances like a giant exploding hedgehog that breathes fire……)

That would be multiple and ungodly levels of awesome. To the drawing board!
