HEROES

Commissars are ruthless officers embedded throughout the Astra Militarum, charged with maintaining the morale, discipline, and loyalty of their regiment. With the power to summarily execute any soldier found wanting in their duties, they are feared, brooding figures. A Commissar's devotion to the Imperium is without doubt, and they fight with fanatical bravery – inspiring the same fervour in those who fall under their watchful gaze.

Bullgryns are recruited from most obstinate of the Ogryn strain of abhumans, clad in heavy armour and armed with rugged assault weaponry built to withstand their unwieldy strength. A line of these heavily-muscled humanoids is a frightening sight, advancing in shield-lines from which shots bounce harmlessly, issuing thunderous blows with heavy mauls and lobbing explosives as they charge.

Nork Deddog is a legend in his own lifetime, an Ogryn whose fighting ability as an Astra Militarum soldier is almost as astonishing as his mental aptitude, which is rare for one of his subspecies. His reputation for loyalty is unsurpassed, and his skills as an Ogryn Bodyguard are in high demand by Imperial officers across the galaxy. Throughout his long career, Nork has saved the lives of well over one hundred officers, earning himself a chest full of medals.
