wait a min, the IG are the PDF, this is the lowest you can be, in all
fluff
IG are fearful of there commanders and only fight for that is what they
are
told to do if not be shot. Commiasars in the old days would kill a unit
commander if he failed his mission and take control of the unit himself.
So
now you want to change history of fluff to meet your likein, hhhuuummm.


-->Ummmm...no. The PDF are more like the National Guard in the US. Not
regular or frnt line troops. Weekend warriors and part timers. the best
of teh PDF units are taken into the IG, given better equipment, some more
training, and sent out to the front (where ever it may be). PDF's lack
the training, experience, and equipment of the IG, and also lack the
morale and leadership of them as well. And commissars would shoot the
commanding officer (in 40K), take control of the unit (if it broke),
rally them, and back into the fray. Ogryns on the other hand, did what
the commissars told them to, out of fear, and fanatical devotion to the
Emperor. I see no instance where the fluff is being changed to suit the
purpose (unless it came from a GW revision). So, will we be giving IG
beatmen back now too? I got the models....
