that you have little motivation as a player (and as a developer) to start a w40k game by giving the player an uncustomizable unit whos main attribute is being expendable.

the problem is: how do you get the player into such a position via a campaign that he actuqally get ssomewhere where he has accumulated enough status to be able to somewhat customize and lead his troops.

(aside from the task of a comissar being pretty much one that hardly will give the player any fun and that rewarding the shooting down of your own men is quite a bad concept to be promoting as a games developer, aside from the pretty much paranoiod task of the comissar, spotting cowardice and heresy everywhere)

So...which would you choose as your main character? A comissar, sergeant, liutenant, general, stormtroopers, catachan sergeant or for the lulz a squat? Furthermore since you are so keen on saying that the IG buddies are cannon fodder, why not replace them with Stormtroopers or Catachans? Remember it is just gameplay wise, so not everything has to be in serious fluff.(Look at Firewarrior for christ sakes, if you know what I mean)
