Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) Lore says commissars attached to Catachan regiments get fragged more often than normal. so how about a rule that says if the unit has a commissar attached, whenever the summary execution rule would be activated remove the commissar from the table, and this unit gets +1A on their close combat weapons, and +1 OC for the rest of the turn, and are no longer battleshocked.

I’ve only ever seen like a two line blurb about the Chem dogs, so not sure why you’d say that.

Like I said, Catachans are very well known for offing their commissars. I personally wouldn’t associate that with the chemdogs just because of one novel.

Harrowmaster Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 There used to be a rule for this in the Deathworld Codex (basically just Codex Catachans), every Commissar you included in your army rolled 1d6 before the battle and on a 1 they couldn't take part (having suffered an "accident"). that was removed with the 3.5 guard codex which consolidated on the variant lists and gave us doctrines. I don't see a place for a rule like that in modern 40k, the game has gone a specific direction and rules like that just don't seem to gel with it.

Yes, randomly losing a model from your army with no benefit in return doesn’t have a place in modern 40k. that’s why I tied a direct benefit into losing the model, and made it optional.

Harrowmaster Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I don't see GW going with it tbh, I think it's a very different game from what it used to be that sort of rule (even with a benefit) probably doesn't fit.

Again I don’t see the rule you’re talking about as having any real similarity beyond surface level to what I’ve suggested. its basically just a one time inverse of the commissar’s own rule… Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386177-fun-idea-for-catachan-ability/#findComment-6120835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
