Hey the Russkies get a special character too.

What good is he?

Well, he does 2 things:

1) He gives everyone within 12" Stubborn.

2) He gives Conscripts the human wave ability, able to come on endlessly.

Note it might be illegal to remove said unit if there are any IC's attached. The special rules section, p48. I think it's ok personally, as the IC won't get removed.

Anyway, while I'm sure people will get a big kick out of recycling 50 guardsmen...with their ability to swamp the enemy on their side of the board...

I just don't think it's worth it. The unit is easily taken apart and will only really 'save' you late in the game.

So while I think you can get mileage out of this guy, in the end...I think the price is too high.
