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

=====HQ=====
*'''Death Korps Marshal:''' The equivalent of a Company Commander doesn't come stock with a chainsword (but can take one for free, so he might as well) or shotgun, but he does come with a Krak Grenade and a higher armor save. Additionally, the Momento Mori he can buy forces all weapons that normally roll for damage to treat the roll as a 1, giving him a bit more staying power than normal.
**'''Marshal Karis Venner:''' Your named Character for the Death Korps, he comes with a hot-shot laspistol, powersword, and Momento Mori. He can issue three Orders per turn and lets friendly units within 12" to use his Ld value unless their own Ld is higher. With that Ld aura, you can combine Venner with a platoon and regimental standard for an '''Ld 11''' bubble 12"+ in diameter (depending on what size base you put him on). Basically gives your guys fearless. A little something to remember: RAW states that '''all''' friendly units can use Venner's Ld,'''(within 12")''' which means that all units in your army use his. That's right. Terminators with Ld 11? Yes, please.
***If you really want to be cheesy, get him to sit on an Imperial Defence Line for another +1 to his Leadership. This will result in units that need to take at least 7 casualties (and, if they're Death Korps, those loses can't be in the Shooting Phase) to even have a chance of losing models to Morale and, even after taking 9 casualties, will still have a 50% chance of the remaining model holding the line. Finally, if you use the Fight to the Death stratagem, they '''become immune to Morale completely'''. And remember, this applies to all friendly units. Have fun with those Leadership 12 Space Marines.
*'''Death Korps Field Officer:''' The Platoon Commander equivalent, though he shares the improved armor save with the Marshal and comes with a Marshal's Ld score as well. At 23 points base, possibly the cheapest HQ choice in the game (other regiments have to spend a precious Elite slot on their version of this guy).
*'''Death Korps Death Rider Squadron Commander:''' A Field Officer on a horse, with a boost to Toughness and Wounds to go with it. Having the same Augmented Mount ability as other Death Riders helps to increase his durability, and for obvious reasons he's the best choice for getting Orders to your cavalry.
