| Lieutenant  | The question was "how can they kill him/her" My instictive answear was "With a las shot to the head" And Commissars are basicly part of an overpowered military police  They have the same role and powers, only that the commie can actually kill people while mp must take them to court :P

Blog Entries: 4 | Also it's prudent to note that Commissars are outside the normal chain of command, so technically they are above any Colonel they are watching over. Of course any Commissar acting as an Emperor's Botherer (as Ciaphus Cain put it) can find himself in a very bad position once out in the field where all of the soldiers he has been terrorizing suddenly have guns, and an accident could easily happen.

i hope they bring it back into the new codex - ie: roll a dice for each commissar before deployment, on a 1 they have met with some unfortunate "accident" and count as dead for VP purposes! just drop their pts cost a wee bit and we can have fun both ways! cheers!

| Re: If Commissars are "advisors" to a commander then how can they kill him/her? I think once again gw is drawing inspiration from ww2. The russian army had commissars who would shoot those who would flee or were found wanting. This was a desperate measure taken to slow nazi horde down till Allied forces could show. |
