SPECIAL RULE
Commissars
An Imperial Guard army may include one Commissar
character per 500 points, or part thereof, in the army. The
Commissars do not cost any points.

Commissar units may be added to the army at the start of

the battle before either side sets up. If the army includes a
Supreme Commander than the first Commissar must be
attached to the Supreme Commander’s formation. Any
further Commissars may be attached to any other
formations.

You may not include more than one Commissar per

formation. You may not add a Commissar to an Imperial
Ally formation. If you have more Commissars than
formations any excess is lost.
