Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Imperial Guard (section)

=====Named Characters=====
Named characters must take a static Warlord Trait if they're your Warlord, can't take Relics, and can't take Bodyguards.
*'''[[Lord Solar]] Leontus:''' The Lord Solar is the Guard's {{W40Kkeyword|SUPREME COMMANDER}}, coming mounted on his [[Brony|cyber-horse]] [[Kostaltyn|Konstantin]] and spewing out three orders a turn; as the top dog of the Imperial Guard, he can order ''anyone'' and use ''any'' of the three orders trees, up-to and including Battle Tanks, Superheavies, Auxilia, and other Officers, drastically improving their flexibility.
**12" S6 T4 8W 6A, with a 3+/4++ and halving damage, he is quite tanky for a regular human. For weapons, he has a S8 AP3 3D pistol and a S:U AP3 D2 sword.
**He never leaves home without consulting his crystal-girl witchtok hoes, represented by the ''The Collegiate Astrolex'' rule: Before the battle, after the opponent reveals his secondaries/agenda, you may change one of yours or instead gain an extra CP in your first command phase. Pretty good when you're facing Necrons with their absolutely bonkers secondary game.
**For buffs, all CORE units within 6" can reroll hit and wound rolls of 1; he can also select one CORE/CHARACTER/BATTLE TANK in the command phase for full hit rerolls, and if it's also Core, full wound rerolls as well. 
**His best use is being a CP and Order engine. Because he has access to all Orders and can order any Guard unit, you can keep him hanging back with your artillery and generating CP, or have him escort a Bullgryn/Baneblade castle as a [[Distraction Carnifex]]. He has no way to shrug MWs and he can't be Bodyguarded, so Snipers can potentially blip him to death. 
*'''[[Creed|Ursula Creed]]:''' [[Lulz|Ms. Trunchbull]] IN SPESS and Creed's secret daughter who was [[Tactical genius|hiding behind the Warlord Titans]] all this time. She doesn't give you bonus CP, but can spew out three orders a turn just like daddy. 
**Unlike her father, when she orders a unit, the unit gets +1S to their shooting, so she can make Sentinels fire overcharged plasma at BS3+ and S9 AP-4. The FAQ further clarifies that if the order is over-written, they will no longer receive the +1 S modifier, so you ''have'' to single each unit out specifically. 
**She lets you do a CP re-roll twice per phase, too. Weapons-wise she has a Power Sword and a brace of relic Hotshot Laspistols, Fury and Vengeance, which is 12" Pistol 4 S5 AP-3 D2. 
**She also has the {{W40Kkeyword|COMMANDANT}} keyword so must be your Warlord if you didn't take the Lord Solar. If she is the Warlord, she uses the Master Tactician Warlord trait which can have you pull off outflanking maneuvers.
**She is the ranged Straken, and can be used to babysit infantry or Heavy Weapons while the Lord Solar or Tank Commanders lead from the front. 
*'''Colonel Straken''' - The Guard's version of the half-chewed (but more bad-ass) Marneus Calgar and Catachan senior Officer. He's now available for everyone, which is great because his buffs aren't limited to Catachans.
**He's '''BS3+ A6 WS2+ S6 T4 Sv3+/4++ W5''', which is Space Marine character tier stats. His Knife is SU(6) AP-3 D2. Because he (like all Catachan Named Characters) has {{W40Kkeyword|Regimental}}, he can still benefit from Brutal Strength, bumping him up to S7 in the first turn of combat. So yes, he is hitting as hard as an autocannon but with substantially more AP.
**He can order twice, and like Ursula, he gives a bonus to the specific unit he orders (UMHR of 6s in melee autowound non-{{W40Kkeyword|vehicle}}s). He gives an aura of re-rolling hit rolls of 1 to {{W40Kkeyword|astra militarum CORE}}. He also gets to re-roll wounds against {{W40Kkeyword|Monster}}s.
**If he has a WT, all his 6s to hit in melee score 2 hits (making him effectively WS1+) and he gets to add +1 to his melee wound rolls.
