Hired Gun troubles

Hi guys,

So after my last game, I ended up rolled a triple 6: Returning A Favor! Which means I get to pick a free Hired Gun for the next game... niiice.

My new Cadian squad has two games under its belt, though I've lost both. Two of my members already have impeding handicaps: my CO and a SGT have an old battle scar (-1 S) and the other SGT lost a leg due to a failed diving charge (FAIL!). Considering these factors I'm leaning towards going heavily shooty, to avoid having to use that low S.

My question to you is: which Hired Gun would you add? Would you try and complement and take a really shooty one? Or rather compensate and take a CC monster? My first thoughts were either the Karskin Sergeant (since I run a Cadian squad, fluffy and looks like a real good addition) or the Commissar (two reasons: cool rules AND I get to use mudboy's Commissar model that he sent me for the Prisoner Exchange).

Did I miss a good one? What would you do?

Karskin Sergeant... all the way! He is ubber cool and has great gear. The Recruit Cost was waived (Returning A Favor!) so it is just upkeep. Firepower baby!

You got the cool Commissar from Mudboy, then use him

Other then that I really like the look for the Demolition Expert, he can help you controle the map, helping with your handicap guys

The Kasrkin Sergeant seems like a safe choice and can bolster your firing line (which sounds like how you are going to play the next game).

Of course, with a one-off free hired gun - he could be used to hold the line (and keep your other guys out of trouble while they fire on Sturmm) and if he dies - no loss to you.

I'm playing Sturmm again on the 26th... this time... HE NEEDS TO GO DOWN! I've never lost this many games in a row! LOL!

I forget: didn't we revise the Commissar? Or is that still in the works?

Guys?

Leaning towards the Commissar at the moment: I have this awesome model, his stats are great, the commands are cool...

Sure, the Kasrkin Sergeant is a rockhard soldier with his carapace armor... but the hellgun is kind of meh (S3...) and his stats aren't amazing at all (WS3).

What if I just slap some armor on that Commissar?

I say choose the Commissar, for the only reason is that you got a great model from Mudboy, that is enough reason for me

Cool models will always win, always...

ALSO... it fits the story. Arachas is being demoted, thus the new Squad has a Commissar to make sure Arachas leaves one way or the .... hehehehe

PLAY ASSASSINATION!!!!
