I come seeking the wisdom of the Ancients. Can 2nd Edition Tech Guard have commissars?

We're getting back into 2nd ed (well, 2.5 ed, Titan Legions) and we can't work out if Tech Guard can have commissars.

I say, they're basically mechanised imperial guard, with all of the command structure required, so I think commissars are needed to mitigate some of the chain of command risk.

My mate says no, whilst gleefully hunting down my poorly positioned command units.

Oh wise and grey bearded Ancients, who were there in the age of legends (1994), can you settle our dispute?

Why has my snow mat suddenly gone yellow?

In b4 yellow snow jokes.

This snow flock is stuck on a rubber mat, it's been rolled up for a couple of months, made it about a year ago. The only bits that are going yellow seem to have been exposed to the air, but not to light as it's been in a cupboard out of sunlight. The flock in the yellowed area seems really brittle compared to the rest too.

Used basing glue to stick woodland scenic soft flake snow, Allgame Terrain Super Seal to fix it, then it's had a few layers of sealant with flock sprinkled on to fix holes due to FAR TOO MUCH flock at one end, so I don't think it's the glue or the sealant, as the rest of the mat would be yellowing in that case.

Would be very interested in hearing if anyone else has come up against this, or have any idea what has caused it so I can avoid it happening again?

My mate plays Space Wolves, so I've made him the wolfiest wolfing bastion that ever did wolf. Should be able to fit a decent chunk of a great company in there. Do feel like it could do with more wolves though.

Had another go at making some squat terrain, took u/statictyrant's advice to ease off on the battlements a bit and add a few small windows to break up the frontage a bit. Tried to put a ramp for the bikers on the side, but it kept wrecking my mesh for some reason, so made the executive decision to bin that off for this model. I'll make an explicitly guild biker hall at some point.

Really struggled to capture the look for the old squats, so pinched some design ideas from the leviathan and colossus models, flared out the footings, then made a big squat logo and whacked that on the front instead. Also had a bash at some mechanicus terrain too.

Any advice or feedback on the models, or advice on not nadgering my meshes in blender, would be gratefully received!

EDIT: I've dumped the files on cults3d if anyone wants them along with a load of other bits I've been tinkering with. Files print but they're not optimised, so if you do go for it, you've been warned! https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/epic-terrain

I’m trying to design some terrain for my squats to go on my snow board. First attempt came out looking a bit Gondor, and the second is feeling a bit too ancient Egyptian. Can’t really work out what to do. Advice would be greatly appreciated!
