Here's today's second n00b question:

In a Guard infantry co, I know that Commanders are an additional stand (for a total of 13 stands), but are Commissars another additional stand (for a total of 14 stands) or are they characters added to the Commander stand (just 13 stamds)?

Thanks in advance.  :)

As above; from a personal standpoint though i try to stick to rule 7 where possible ("don't take the piss!") and only place them in bog standard infantry stands where available; i/e stormtoopers or normal guards; no ogryn shields for example.
Different case would be in a tank company or SHT's for example.

Rough riding Commissars seem fine to me though Sentinel ones don't feel right.

I guess this boils down to the number of commisars available and perhaps some priority for assigning them. Last IG opponent I faced got 10 to put into 11 formations; he only used 9 of them in the end as he felt that adding a commisar to one of his TBolt formations was really going too far :p .

In the end, adding one to his Death Strikes compounded by my failure to hit them sealed the fate of that particular battle :whistle:

I always used to put a commissar in with my Ogryns in 40k so they could actually mount up in a Chimera! I don't see a problem. What do you think of rough rider commissars and sentinel driving commissars?

A valid point on the ogryns actually ;-)
Sentinels is going too far but if i've run out of places to put them i usually pop one in there anyway; ruoghriders is fine...ah the hypocrisy.  I meant more, for example, placing them in chimera or such like, but in all fairness you can justify most commisar placements; if it's in a chimera it's obviously a command vehicle, a sentinel may be loaded with extra augur arrays and such; in short i'm really talking balls!

Anywhere except a titan or plane is fine by me.

Well according the the 2008 FAQ anything goes, personally I wouldn't put them in planes or titans, but I rarely roll high enough for this to be a problem  :oo:

I have a hard time seeing either Nauticus or Titanicus accepting an allied officer giving them orders.

Jervis seems to disagree but what does he know  :shutup:

I consider putting Commissars in Titans poor form, and putting them in aircraft is pretty much useless.

Anywhere else is fine by me.

One could claim those Comissars actually represented a particularly Veteran Princeps or Pilot, though I wouldn't do it myself.

Personally I wouldn't put any in Deathstrikes myself either.

It honestly sounds a lot more like an oversight.

Anyway, I could imagine a Titan Commissar like a counts-as Veteran Princeps or something. Couldn't possibly figure out where's the EACC coming from, though. Perhaps the Princeps shooting at enemies in base contact with his honorary pistol.

edit: great minds, and so on.
