Commissar training squad

One of the cooled things in Rogue Trader era WH40k are commissar training squads. Fanatic young men looking forward to becoming real commissars. The rules for collecting points on the battle field and field promotios are just something you don´t see today.

This has been a longish project as the commissar models are pretty hard to get for reasonable price. The last model to be finished is a banner bearer, a small conversion done by clipping of his chanin sword, repositioning his left hand and modifying a plastic arm so that the model can hold the flagpole.

The nine cadets all have blue details in their uniforms. Leader or trainer wears black cap and

armor. The standard bearer has distinquished himself in the battle and has the honor of carrying

the training squad´s flag. 

For cadets I chose models that carry a las gun and have no decorations on their great coat.

The leader was chosen on the basis of that skull bearing breast plate that appears in

the black and white above.

Immunity to all psychology effects - that´s a good prop.
