Ok I ve built up a commissar for my renegades army.
I ve converted him, removed all medals and eagles and made him a gas mask etc.

So in order to know I m ok with it, can a commissar become heretic and renegade, falling under the power of the chaos gods?
Or it is impossible for it to happen at all? Do they prefer to die rather than fall to the forces of chaos?
Are the incorruptible? Please enlighten me, I need to know if I ve killed the fluff with my conversion.
P.S. I know that vraksian militia had its own kind of commissar called enforcers.
I know that in game terms they do the same. I just proffered the idea of the evil commissar.

A commissar is a mortal man like any other, and although they're generally iron willed and fearless, they are far from immune to corruption. In fact, I believe one of the Chaos Cultist Sergeants from Dark Vengeance is a disgraced commissar.

No one but the Grey Knights are incorruptible.

Or he could be specifically trained by chaotic forces like the Sons of Sek who have an equivalent rank to the IGs Commissar

1) Go to the GW site.

2) Go to the "What's New Today" blog link in the bottom right corner of the screen and click on it (hint, it's got a pick of one of the new cultists on it).

3) Begin reading through that article. It talks about one of the cultist's leaders being modelled with a Commisar's coat, and mentions fluff in the latest white dwarf.

4) You'll have your answer (hint: yes, they can fall to chaos).

Haven't noticed that before...
Ye you probably mean the guy with the sword and the shotgun??
Btw you are correct. Check this just read it. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/wnt/blog.jsp?pid=3800016
It's says it clearly bellow the 360 pic of the champ where they mention his story.
Good shot mate! So I m totally in for my conversion though mine is more like an ss officer than the cultist champ..

Sorry Dr.What, it seems that we started to write the same thing simultaneously...
Thanks for posting the photo too..

It's fine, just the powers of Chaos manipulating Dakka...

One of the Dark Vengeance guys is a fallen commissar, went mad and opened the gates of a fortress to chaos or something.

Or it is impossible for it to happen at all? Do they prefer to die rather than fall to the forces of chaos?

Most would probably off themselves if they sensed they were falling, obviously not all do, they are still human after all.

See above, they are human, they can fall.

Interesting that one of the Cultist leaders from Dark Vengeance is an ex-Commissar....

From the Ciaphas Cain series....

They're stronger-willed than "normal" guardsmen certainly, and therefore less prone to corruption. But as others have said, still normal men.

Thank you. It seems now that apart from my converted commissar I can use him also for my traitor guard.
