Abilities
Summary Execution: If the Commissar's unit fails a morale test the Commissar will summarily execute the squad's current commander - this is the model in the unit with the highest Leadership Value. If two or more models in the same squad have the same leadership value, randomly determine which of the models is executed. A commissar (of either rank) will never execute himself or another Commissar (of either rank) - ignore these models when determining who is eligible for execution. The executed model is immediately removed as a casualty, regardless of the number of Wounds remaining. The unit in question must then re-roll the failed Morale check - if this test also fails then the squad falls back as normal.
Stubborn: When taking Morale tests, stubborn units always ignore any negative Leadership modifiers. Independent characters that are stubborn confer the ability onto any unit that they join.
