I heard from someone that commissars more or less cant be converted for crap, and that to have one on the table the 'Comissar hat' is required on the model. Is that true? (I had wanted to make a theme commissar utilizing a Lorenzo lupo head, and an old Cadian officer body...

...what? No, although it certainly helps them stand out a little. So long as the model is armed and equipped correctly, fits with the army and is distinguishable from the rest of the force you can do pretty much as you please.

awesome! Thank you for the clarification!

The hat and coat, and red/black colors of a commissar are very distinctive. If you don't have either it could be confusing.
EDIT: because your model will just look like an IG officer.
