Conscripts and commissars

[Deleted]

Yo yo quick question...

If you attach an independant commissar to a squad of say 20 conscripts, they fail a leadership test in cc, he executes the sergeant and they fight on right?

Next assualt phase if they fail again does he simply execute a random conscript and they continue to fight on?

Does this mean they'd just keep on fighting??

Thanks

also, can you xeno-fighter a conscript platoon? they are infantry afterall, having 20+ expendable guys hitting on 3's isnt bad

There's no sergeant in a conscipt platoon, so he just shoots a conscript and they keep on fighting.

I'm expanding my Conscript squad to 30 men just to be on the safe side.

Ok thanks, that's incredible. I was always doubtful about the tar-pit tactic but those recruits have got to toughen up somehow!

This is going to ruin my Ork friends day....

Especially if you give them all flamers or grenade launchers beforehand. Lotsa templates-lotsa dead orks.

I love the smell of toasted ork hide in the morning!

You can not give them xeno-fighter as they are not under the definition that the doctrines make as infantry.

However, you can give them chem inhalers, close order drill and warrior weapons.

I usually run 50 with my Independent commissar. Five flamers in the squad and on occasion I use the meat shield warrior weapon list that I have.

No one expects a conscript to have 3 attacks each on the charge.

conscript-mania is deadly, a 50 man squad can give 150 attacks on the charge at the I of a marine, even though only 75 are gonna hit statisticially, cmon! thats a lota hits!

not to mention that of that 75 that hit half will do damage that is 37.5 wounds. The wound allocation table just took a whole new meaning.
