The untrained guys would really need extra encouragement to stand and fight. and if the commissar happens to kill more guys then you'd lose? ehh its pretty dang fluffy. <br /><br />or just going back to the old rules of getting a re-roll if you plunk a stooge. roll, fail, kill guy, reroll, fail, still lose guys. The commissar is giving good leadership so it should work most of the time, but it would at least not be such a huge automatic ability. Things that are 100% predicable are always very powerful in 40k and people tend to try and control the odds like crazy. So adding a chance that it wont work will change the meta for sure.<br /><br />or make the lord commissar the only guy to give the AoE leadership bonus. Combine the three and there is a good chance that you will lose MORE then what you would have normally, which helps with the risk/reward or running conscripts.<br /><br /><br />And while I'm at it changing stuff, make regular infantry squads 20 man. Its not that big of a difference for ranged shooting, but 20 helps them footslog and last longer in melee, which they aren't really good at anyway, so it wont really help so much that its unbalanced. 40 or 50 is too good this edition, so I get dumping it. Its just weird that chaos space marines can have bigger units then guard.

There are other Armies that ignore moral, for example tyrannids can ignore Moral and their creatures are a lot tougher to kill. <br />If it should persist, rather raise the points on the commissars.<br />AKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580305448385760317noreply@blogger.com
