Furthermore, since the wording is units have +1 Ld (unlike "add 1 to the Ld characteristic" like Catachans). the Death Rider Commissar therefore still only allows a maximum of 1 model to be lost to morale.

With The Greater Good, the IG can follow in the footsteps of several other factions in making their own Regimental Doctrine, combining two of the following rules: Most units in Astra Militarum detachments (excluding Superheavy Auxiliary detachments) benefit from a regimental doctrine if every unit in the detachment has the same Regiment and/or is on the list of units that do not break regimental doctrine.

[1c], Elysian Drop Troops wear the PT-38 jump suit, a reinforced coverall made of rugged synthi-canvas. It's important to note that without the use of stratagems or one very specific regiment, your hellguns cannot deep strike or grav-chute into Rapid Fire range, your meltas can never deep strike into melta range, and hot-shot laspistols cannot deep strike into actual shooting range. At S+2 AP-1, this is the best choice if you're fielding a Lord Commissar but want to keep him cheap - it'll outperform the sword for the same cost.

Yet another discontinued Forgeworld model, but thankfully there are a few options for kitbashing here - the GSC Achilles Ridgerunner compares well size-wise so just take the twin stubbers off. Many competitive guard players have begun to take 90 or more guardsmen in their lists, this might sound unwise particularly given how easy they are to kill, but once you get into the mid to late game your opponent is unlikely to have enough anti-infantry to deal with the 40 guardsmen left, leaving them free to grab objectives and tarpit enemy vehicles. These are your equivalent (but different) of Chapter Tactics, Legion Traits, Forgeworld Dogma, you get the idea. You will be forced to take these guys to fill out HQ slots.

Also useful on Leman Russes (particularly. Entertainingly, as mentioned above, this comes with an autocannon, demolisher cannon, and plinky little lasgun (in case you run into.
