General Vance Stubbs

"Commissar, I would like to see this city built up again. I would like to see towers and spires of gleaming white. I would like to see our men on parade routes, not tours of duty. I would like to see every city in this planet, every colony in this besotted, miserable system turned to the service and industry of the Imperium, in the Emperor’s name."

Vance Stubbs is the ambitious new commander of the Imperial Guard stationed in the Kaurava system. A long neglected series of planets, the Guardsmen are in dire need of some strict discipline. However, Stubbs had barely taken command before a Warp Storm opened on Kaurava IV, wiping out the 253rd Regiment. The sudden arrival of a myriad of foes caught much of the 252nd Regiment unprepared, leaving Stubbs with barely a quarter of the troops originally stationed in the system. If the new Imperial General can emerge victorious from the coming war, his way will be clear to even greater assignments, but the challenges ahead may require more skill and soldiers than he can muster.

Stubb's characteristics contrast greatly with the the Imperial general from the previous game, Lukas Alexander. Unlike the impassioned and almost charismatic Governor Militant, Stubbs is quieter, but just as ambitious.

Tactics

The Commissar is largely redundant in the Vance Stubbs' retinue. Stubbs himself is more than durable enough after just a single Wargear upgrade to no longer need the Commissar's extra durability. A Commissar may prove useful to allow for more frequent ability use without breaking morale in a retinue containing two or more Psykers.

The Psyker has meager combat abilities but adding several to the Command Squad makes for an excellent way to quickly and conveniently use the Psyker's impressive array of abilities. In melee the Psyker's special attack does incredible disruption although the Psyker himself is too fragile to be effective as a general melee combat fighter. With the Targeting Optics Wargear, Lukas becomes a much more durable detector than the Psyker, so one must choose between the Psyker's abilities and having an extra fighting man.

The Priest provides an incredible set of bonuses for the squad (and also overrides the Commissar's and Kasrkin Bodyguard's morale bonus) and adds an impressive amount of melee damage as well. Under most circumstances adding a Priest to the command squad should be your first move. Keeping one in the squad during the late game for Fanaticism can provide the squad with enough time to use the Psyker's special abilities in an otherwise deadly environment.

The Kasrkin Bodyguard has the same stats as the normal sergeant. He provides an excellent morale and health bonus (which are overridden by the Priest) for the squad as well as carrying the impressive Hellgun for ranged combat. They make excellent companions for Psykers to lend the squad some real ranged punch. These Kasrkin require General Vance Stubbs to be equipped with Ibram's Vestment Wargear to be added to the squad.

Targeting Optics is a good first choice of wargear to equip General Vance Stubbs with. It gives the Imperial Guard a detector unit at the start of every fight. Because much of the Command Squad's durability is dependent on the added squad leaders which are unaffected by wargear, choosing wargear that improves the Stubbs's health are less important than those which increase his firepower. The ranged weaponry wargear works best with a set of Psykers, while the melee weaponry wargear is most effective when accompanied by Priests.
