Alright boys lets settle this
Who is the best Commissar?
>>50606958
Ciaphas Cain
no contest
Gaunt. Period.
Yarrick obviously
I don't know 40k, but judging by those colors the best Commissar is a Commissar who works together with his fellow Commisars.
Flint
Also going from the list of named commissars.
>Holt
>Yarrick
>Cain
>Ghaunt
>Berrn
We haven't gotten a new named Commissar in a while most recent being Berrn but he was just in a video game while for full on commissar stories the last one was Cain back in '03
Bernn
>god tier utility
>fistpunches the avatar of khaine
>fist of brockus makes the guards unkillable.
>one shots every single model in the game.
>>50606958
Ultimately Yarrick is probably the most important/badass, but Cain is probably my favorite because those were good 40k books.
>>50607106
>Bernn best commissar
Does he even have any lines?
>>50606958
Ciaphas Cain
>Hero of the Imperium
>Probably has movies based on his exploits
>Cares for the guardsmen of his regiment but isnt afraid to pull the trigger
>Brave enough to be the vanguard on dangerous missions to see shit gets done right
>Every Commissar wishes they were Cain
>HERO OF THE IMPERIUM
>>50607278
>Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword.
>>50607043
Go go, Space Maringers!
>>50607278
> is reviving a space marine
>"YOU DIE ON MY COMMAND , NO SOONER!"
>>50606958
Considering Cain is the only readable series, Cain.
>>50607278
Fuck yes he does.

>Brave
Best commisar is Costellin.
As much as I like Gaunt, he's a better Colonel than he is a Commissar.
>>50606958
>>50607075
>Only one mention of Holt.
Gentlemen, choose your next recommendations with exceptional care...
>>50606958
What part of "John Fuklaw" did you not understand the first time, OP?
>>50606958
I can identify yellow, green and black. Who are blue and red? I assume one is Cain probably except no chainswords in sight. The other might be Holt I guess.
>>50609053
Brave and fearless are not the same thing. You can't be brave if you feel no fear.
>>50609803
Completely seriously, I think Cain is brave. The question is just how much is genuine bravery, how much is ass-covering to stop himself getting executed for incompetence and how much is just caring for the people around him. The implied balance is much heavier on 'he's a good person who cares for people' more than anything else, although I think his first appearance was almost entirely the 'trying not to get killed' interpretation.
>>50609832
If he's not brave, the moment he realized the hole he's going to hide his ass in turned out to be enemy HQ he would've bolted out of there.
>>50609867
Thing is, he's never going 'ah, enemies, excellent we shall defeat them for the emprah'. He's always just trying to survive and to keep the people under his 'command' alive. That said, in the cases where it's seemed like death was absolutely inevitable he HAS embraced a calm fatalism and just decided to go out with a slaughter of enemies.
>>50606958
There are no good Commissars. They're brainwashed fanatical murderers devoid of sympathy. Fuck all this humanizing hero wank that BL puts out.
>>50612186
Don't you have blueberry dick to suck or something
>>50612186
BL hasn't put out a Commissar book in ages
>>50613070
No, I like the Tau as grimdark as possible or not at all.
>>50613499
"Have put out over the years" then.
>>50606958
Does it really need saying?
>>50606958
>>50614783
>Doesn't take pretentious titles like a certain other character
>Fucks up occasionally and cares about his men so much that he takes it hard every time
>Holds a Lord-General hostage for a bit while being suspected of taint
>Leads a suicide mission to a planet held by Chaos forces
>Leads said suicide mission through a portion of the planet that even Chaos won't touch
>Survives said planet with minimal losses
>Contemptor Pattern balls of adamantium
>>50606989
This nigga gets it!
>>50614741
The only one that lacks Sympathy is Yarrick
The others are pretty bro tier
>>50615031
Considering how easy it is for hardcore *asshole* morale officers to die to friendly fire incidences it is unsurprising that the better ones tend to be "bro tier"
>>50609421
damn right. I played that game all the way through just in hopes of getting another Commissar Holt scene.
Also:
>Kicking the Planetary Governor around
>Rebuking a Lord Commander
>>50613499
There is some recent stuff about yarrick
>>50615031
Some of the newer stuff fluffs out how much the losses of the seccond war for Armageddon weighed on him.
>>50614892
>participated in trench warfare, hive warfare, airborne drop/assault, deep insertion, killed CSMs, saw a saint, always leads from the from, stayed pure an a world of only taint, fought alongside 3 SMs, based swordsmen,
>oh, and the little tidbit where he fucked the daughter of the most important noble house of the entire hive, all the while single-handedly commanding the entire imperial defense of said hive against millions of traitors and overwhelming odds for nearly a day straight
best commisar is cain because he has jurgen
#blank privilege
>>50619201
I wonder how you write a mother fucker who has a power klaw for an arm
>>50615031
And I'm saying the rest are faggots for being at worst reluctant heroes, when Commissars are supposed to be brainwashed from a young age to be fanatical and merciless executioners. I'll never understand why people don't write about fucking Guardsmen officers of various ranks and specializations if they want sympathetic human heroes, instead of trying to humanize some of the most batshit fuckers in the Imperium. Probably just because of the striking uniforms.
>>50620875
Did you by chance write the Tempestus Scion lore?
>>50606989
Your so right you dont even know man
>>50619664
woah woah woah, back up, who are we talking about?
