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

====Officio Prefectus====
*'''[[Commissar]]:''' You know them, you fear them. 9th Edition gave them the {{W40Kkeyword|Officer}} and {{W40Kkeyword|Voice of Command}} keywords so they can now issue Prefectus Orders in the Command Phase. In addition, for each {{W40Kkeyword|COMMANDANT}} or {{W40Kkeyword|COMMAND SQUAD}} unit in the army, a single Commissar can be taken without taking up an Elite slot. His ''Summary Execution'' rule is now once per turn, and it makes a friendly Core unit from the army within 6" of the Commissar auto-pass Combat Attrition tests. Thematically, the one guy who's removed from a failed morale test is just the commissar executing him (although he still counts as fled, not dead, if some other game rule cares about the difference), and the rest of the squad stays put, which isn't broken anymore due to [[Fail|the removal of conscript blobs]]. In terms of loadout, Commissars can only upgrade to a Plasma Pistol and/or Power Sword from their stock Bolt Pistol and Chainsword.
**Prefectus orders are more tactical utility than the offensive buffing of Regimental Officers. Commissars arent the only source of Prefectus orders, but wherever the orders come from, you'll want one or two to support your objective holders, especially those in the backfield.
