Well, no point just having them standing there, being bullet sponges. I mean, they might make halfway decent ones, but in the grand scheme of things, ordering them to go about doing things might work a lot better. Like reloading your heavy weapon for you, or blamming the psyker to prevent unusually bad perils of the warp. And I am fully expecting and prepared to have to roll up new characters every now and again, its all part of the casualities of war.

@Apollosarcher Maybe, but there are folks that would be crazy enough to do so. Just saying. I think it would be entertaining, and besides, backup never hurts.

"With great power...comes great OH BY THE EMPEROR WHAT IS THAT?"

I see Comrades as kind of just extensions of characters for Only War, some NPCing goodness if the extra dialogue is desired, some extra abilities and meat shields to cover the fact that the Guard can suffer some pretty rough attrition depending on the regiment, mission, and what they're facing. But hey, in a pinch, at least pushing the power can at least take whatever is warranting the power upgrade with you. Either from the power, or the aftermath of your rather messy demise.

Hmm, do have a question regarding Race. Is that more like Caucasian, Hispanic, that sort of race, or we talking completely different from human? Figured I would clarify before mucking about too much with that whole aspect of things.

@Apollosarcher Could order someone else to do it, benefits of being in charge and all that.

I saw that, granted, my comrade is also possibly the only thing between a minor perils roll and daemons vomiting everywhere oh god why. But hey, at least comrades are replaceable! And its good to have a commissar ready to also BLAM my psyker in case if shenanigans, I suppose. But hey, odds of perils should be relatively slim, long as I aint pushing powers all the damn time. Again.

I'm still here, sure as sure.

Psykers get comrades, only Stormtroopers and Commissars dont get comrades, if memory serves. So three comrades and four PC's. And not a big mix, all things considered.

Some of the numbers like that I am actively ignoring and I think pretty much anyone with half a brain ignores as well. There are a damn sight more than a million marines at this point, I'd wager, between the various foundings and such. Likewise, I doubt millions of soldiers are lost on a single battle's meatgrinder. Maybe if the entire system is one glorified meatgrinder, it makes a bit more sense, but on one battle? Nah, not happening. In other news, eager to see how natsu handles our rather unconventional squad layout so far. Least we have a Sergeant, was half expecting that to not be filled before the campaign started, haha.

Which is useful, headcanon that is, as long as folks don't start arguing and disagreeing with the headcanon in a given story. I'm a fan of surprising competence from the Imperial Guard, especially with those players that worship the very ground their precious SPHESS MAHREENS walk on. Or anyone trumps them, really, its satisfying.
