the rankings in Codex:Imperial Guard are abstract guidelines, whereas (i believe) in the previous editions, every rank was given a definitive statline, so you had your Cornell with a Cornell statline and you Lieutenants with a Lieutenant statline.
Whereas now your Cornel has either a SO or HSO statline and your Lieutenants have JO statlines. Allowing for the extreme variety within the guard to be easily represented by players.
So in other words, however you want them to look. |
