The hive gang represents just that: a REALLY good gang; one that has an
"official" turf, that is they can keep others away and thus maintain order
and the Imperial officials turn blind eye so long the gangs don't become too
greedy. And besides, not all hive gangs would fight in the defense of a
planet.

Maybe, but in making an armylist you have to consider this: would anyaone
really play an army where all infantry has -1 CAF? IMO that would make them
too crappy. Also, I see the IG training as being more "political" induction
to enhance the troops' faith in the Emperor.

Would you play troops with -2 CAF? ;)? Seriously, the penal troopers are
definetely not "just cannon fodder"; they have to be tough in order to
survive since they are given the worst jobs. Those who do survive are the
best. The militia has -1 CAF and IMO that's bad enough. Every citizen of the
Imperium knows some fighting skills due to the friendly nature of the 40K
universe :)
