Can they only shoot "sgt" or "officer" models. I believe in 4th there was an FAQ explaining that they continued killing models on failed moral tests after the initial SGT or Officer was killed.. but the ruling by the Ard Boyz judge was that he could only kill a SGT or Officer leading the squad so you only got to execute 1 time. I said well if you interpret it that way it means he will then take over the unit and execute himself if the unit fails another moral test.. he said no he would just run away?!?


please help on this one.. what is the point of a commisar if he is a one use special rule?

The Summary Execution entry does specify 'Officer or Sergeant'

If there is no Officer or Sergeant, there's nobody for him to shoot.

He also won't shoot himself, since he is likewise not an Officer or Sergeant.


There was a previous FAQ that allowed (specifically to do with Conscripts) that if there was no Officer or Sergeant he just killed a random squad member and then took over, but that FAQ is no longer current, and so that allowance no longer exists.
