Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Imperial Guard (section)

=====HQ=====
*'''Elysian Company Commander:''' Compared to the basic company commander, the Elysian version loses the shotgun and chainsword but gains an extra point of Ld and allows friendly Elysian Drop Troops within 6" of him to reroll failed morale tests.
** You will be forced to take these guys to fill out HQ slots. He is a superior choice to the commissar in most cases and is a damned fine buffing character. We can also assume that he unlocks command squads for us which are quite points efficient. Elysian orders are good and these guys will spread them around to your troops. Has the benefit over Tempestors of both giving two orders and taking a plasma pistol.
** There are two approaches to taking Company Commanders, take as few as possible or take a lot of them. The first approach gives you more "real" units to aerial drop. The second gives you more command squads and better saturation of orders. I have tried both and will usually land somewhere in between though I think going for a few commanders is probably better.
*'''Elysian Lord Commissar:'''This Lord Commissar loses the Power Sword (which is an upgrade, since he can still buy one if you wanted it, and can swap his bolt pistol out for a boltgun), and like the Company Commander he allows friendly Elysian Drop Troops within 6" of him to re-roll failed morale tests as an extra defense against morale checks.
** Not great for us and you will rarely see any one take a Lord Commissar. He is more expensive than a normal commissar lord but the problem is we do not have conscripts. Since our Company Commanders offer ld re-rolls in addition to being cheaper and giving out orders he is a natural choice. The biggest unit size Elysians have are 10 man squads and while it is quite easy to create theoretical scenarios where a commissar would be better as morale buffing char than a commander it will rarely impact the game in practice. This is especially true when you consider Elysian commanders have a morale buffing order they can drop in a pinch.
** As with Death Korps Commissars, he can technically be taken by any regiment rather than just his own, of course once again his aura abilities won't affect anyone, not from Elysia, but he can still BLAM regular guardsmen or mercy kill exploding psykers. Probably not worth it considering that, unlike with the Death Korps Commissar, regular Commissar Lords actually do have a non-regiment aura of discipline, and to make matters worse he was not FAQ'd to have the same reduced cost as the codex version, meaning you'll pay almost double the points for him, but if for some reason you wanted a deep striking Commissar with krak grenades and a shotgun, he's here for you.
