 Senoblo Aguilera, Tim DuPertuls, WIii Scarvie
Combat engineers are the troops that enable other troops to
continue attacking by bridging rivers, clearing obstacles
and reducing fortified positions. These engineers have ad-
vanced training in the use of specialized types of equip-
ment and vehicles. When a regular unit comes up against
an obstacle it can't deal with, whether river, roadblock or
bunker, they will call for engineers.
The following rules are used for adding assault engineers
to your games and are primarily intended to be used in
special scenarios involving fortifications. Engineers are also
useful in close urban combat and campaign games and are
even capable of taking down Titans with a little luck.
The combat engineers described below are based on Ger-
man WWII Pioneers, who were trained as assault troops
first and then given additional engineering training. Ameri-
can and British engineers were trained as engineers first
and didn't have the additional training as assault squads.
The German Pioneers fought with distinction, often being
used as shock troops against tough objectives, and often
taking high casualties. A shortage of trained engineers to-
wards the end of WWII was one of the causes of the failure
of the German Battle of the Bulge offensive. German tank
columns were halted and delayed by obstacles that the ear-
ly war Pioneer battalions would have easily surmounted.
Marines
'Each Space Marine chapter has a number of Engineer
squads (1-2 platoons) attached to the Chapter command.
These squads provide specialized engineering capabilities
for the other companies. These troops are assault squads
with extra training for their engineering duties. A squad
consists of a Space Marine sergeant and nine Marines, two
of whom are special weapons Marines. The squad can be
broken down into five man sections if desired.
Imperial Guard
An Imperial Guard army, being a much larger, less mobile
force than a Marine chapter, will have access to consider-
ably more engineering troops and heavier equipment, espe-
cially vehicles. An Imperial Guard division might have
attached to it a complete engineer battalion consisting of
three companies of engineers plus supporting vehicles.
Squat Engineers
Squat Demolition Squads are Guild Engineer squads with
extra training and equipment. They may use other vehicles
as well as their normal bikes.
Eldar Destroyer Squads
The Eldar Path provides a way for Eldar who get their jol-
lies blowing things up to express themselves in a
••ca•1s11oa
(de)constructive way. These Aspect Warriors don't have
access to the same types of vehicles that Imperial or Squat
forces do, but do have access to jet bikes and Falcons in the
Eldar tradition of fast, mobile troops.
Other Races
Orks, Tyranids and other races don't generally have spe-
cialized troops for combat engineering in the field; howev-
er, the occasional Mekboy with delusions of grandeur may
gather a group of like-minded Mekboyz and their assis-
tants into an ad hoe unit that serves some of the same pur-
poses as regular combat engineers, especially when
blowing things up!
COMBAT ENGINEER EQUIPMENT
Engineers are usually the only troops that have access to
the following new 40K weapons, as well as the training to
use them.
LASCUTTER
This is a weapon from the original Rogue Trader 40K rule-
book that didn't make it into the second edition. It is used
like a cutting torch and is primarily used for cutting man-
sized holes in just about anything that doesn't move. It is a
shooting weapon and may not be used in I-ITH combat. A
user must move up and touch the target and then auto-
matically hit in the following turn. A successful penetra-
tion roll allows the user to cut a man-sized hole in the
target, allowing models to enter.
Weapon Range Str. Dam. Sv. Mod Arm. Pen. Sp
Lascutter 0" 10 2010 -6 06+2D1 O+10 Move or Fire
DEMOLITION CHARGES
Demolition charges are specialized shaped-charge weap-
ons capable of blowing holes in the toughest armor, up to
and including Titan armor and bunker doors. They are
available with two charge levels: standard and heavy.
Demo charges must be placed; they may never be thrown.
Placement occurs in the shooting phase and counts as
shooting. The charge will explode in the player's follow-
ing shooting phase with a standard time fuse. This gives
the placing model a chance to get away before the charge
explodes. Longer delays can be used by writing down how
many turns later the charge will explode. Charges may be
placed on any external feature or target that the model is
touching. Roll any damage or crits on the specific hit loca-
tion: tracks, legs, weapon, etc. A demo charge can be d e-
fused by other engineers. Roll a D6. The charge is success-
fully defused on 3-6 and explodes on 1-2. A demo charge
can also be defused by regular troops. Roll a D6. The
charge is successfully defused on 5-6 and explodes on 1-4.

This means they have been relegated to the role of tactical
squads; kick ass tactical squads, which I love dearly, but
tactical squads none the less. These tactical boys can help
win battles, but they can't do it alone, at least not consis-
tently. Blight grenades don't do well against Leman Russ
tanks. So to make up for the new deficiencies in my army
and replace the twen ty or so p ainted models that I had
armed with assault weap ons, jump p acks, heavy weapons,
and all that other stuff I can no longer get, I've decided to
suck it up and paint some Kl10me Berserkers, and, being
the nice guy that I am, I'm going to tell you how I did it.

First off, since I've always painted Nurgle, I've got painting
green armor down to a science and, since I never like to
spend more than an hour painting rank and file, hell, I hate
to spend more than an hour painting characters. I want to
play, and also because I really despise the five coats of paint
necessary to paint red, I had to devise a quick, yet good
looking, way to paint about thirty Khome Berserkers, and
this is how it goes ...

1 The first thing that I do when I get a new model is clean

the mold lines off of it. A combination of needle files and X-
acto blade works best for this. This may seem trivial and
basic, but its unbelievable how many otherw ise good paint
jobs I've seen tarnished by someone not taking the time to
clean their models properly.

2 The next thing that I do is prime my models, in this case

black. I almost always use a spray primer, Armory to be
specific. I find that if you follow the instructions on the
spray can you can get a uniformly good coat and save
yourself lots of time compared to painting the primer on
with a brush . (The reason that I'm u sing black primer is
that I try to give my Chaos Marines a darker, more gritty
feel and the black undercoat helps achieve this.) My
demons on the other hand are undercoated white and inted using the

u INQ■ISITO■
 good basic coverage of paint on the model. Please, multiple
coats are the best, but you don't want to completely ob-
scure aU of the black primer.
By virtue of the way the models are made (not many flat
surfaces) the spray paint should cover aU of the outer areas,
(shoulder pads, legs, back packs, chest plates) with a nice
bright, even coat. At the same time the spray paint will not
cover as well in the recessed areas (next to the trim around
the shoulder pads, in the leg joints, the recesses of the back
pack). This is exactly the effect you want. The spray paint
has already started the job of shading the miniatures for
you.
• When the paint is set it is time to give the model a
couple of good washes with red ink. If you've followed my
instructions well, you'll have noticed that the Blood Angels
Red has turned your model a lovely dayglow orange. Have
no fear, the washes will take care of that. Make sure to give
the model at least two washes, probably three, and don't be
stingy, lather that sucker down. For this process I do
heartily recommend the Citadel washes. They are probably
the best product in the Citadel color line. After your washes
have dried, your model should be leaning more towards
red than orange. At this point you can stop your shading
altogether and have a decent looking model, or you can
grab a little Blood Red paint and blend it from the recesses
out. This will add a bit more depth to the model and make
the final results a deeper, richer red.
S The next step is to grab some black paint and go back
over the areas of the model that you want to be brass, or
black for that matter. This usually includes all of the trim
around the shoulder pads, any weapons the model is
carrying, the trim around the legs, any exposed power
cables, and that funny head thing that the Khome types
wear. How much brass you use is really a personal prefer-
ence. That said, I find that too much brass tends to clutter
the model. Take a look at some of the stuff Games Work-
shop painters do; they tend to have a good balance of
colors.
8 The rest is all details folks. It looks best if you can dry-
brush all of that brass on. If it is too much of a hassle,
simply painting it on looks fine as long as care is taken.
Either way you do it, try to leave a little bit of the black
showing around the edges; it does a good job of breaking
up the various parts of the model. Paint the skulls bleached
bone, hit them with a mix of brown and yellow ink, heavier
on the brown than on the yellow, and then a light dry-
brush of the bleached bone. I tend to paint the bolters black
and then give them a gray dry-brush around the edges.
Keep the dry-brush sh arp though, or the whole bolter will
turn gray. I tend to hit some of the details with some
Scorpion green for a good contrast, not nearly as much as
what Games Workshop uses though. Restraint with the
green is the key.
f This is the totally optional overly anal retentive, nitpicky
detail part. If you've followed me to this point you should
INQ■ISIIO■
have a pretty good presentable piece to play with. If you're
happy at this point, flock the sucker, give it coat of sealer
and off to the game table you go. If you look at the model
and think that it is just not quite there yet, you can do the
following. Grab your red ink, add just a touch of black
paint to it and make a thin, dark red wash. Take a fine point
brush and work this wash out from the recesses of the
model. As you work your way out, start using less black in
the mix and add a little Blood Red paint instead.
Once you've got a good gradual effect going start using
straight Blood Red paint and begin blending this up into
Blood Angels Orange (the stuff from the jar this time) using
the Blood Angels Orange as the final highlight. With all
blending you've got to be careful that your final highlights
don't change the overall complexion of the model and give
it a kind of washed out feel. If you find that this is happen-
ing to you, grab a jar of the Citadel Red Glaze (this is
different from the wash) and apply an even coat to the red
areas of the model. This will brighten up the washed out
areas without changing the overall color of the model the
way the wash does.
Another thing that you can do is go over the brass areas
with a light coat of rust colored wash and then highlight
them with a bright gold color. This will add more depth to
the metallic areas. All this should give you a show quality
piece if done properly. Any further nitpicking from this
point borders on the bizarre and thoroughly obsessive and
involves head-scratchingly weird painting techniques that
just don't belong in the public realms of knowledge.
Lastly I'd like to say that though this process seems to be
rather long, owing more to my long windedness than to the
actual complexity of the task, it is in fact rather a quick and
effective way to paint Khome Berserkers. In fact, I timed it
and I found that I could have painted a complete model
and started on another in the time that it took me to write
this article. I hope I've helped a few people out there and
haven't just wasted everyone's time.

models like my Eldar Farseer or even my Khorne Berserker.
Instead it builds an almost patchy set of highlights. I know,
I know, patchy and highlights are two words you don' t
normally want in the same description, but I find the end
result to be very suitable for Nurgle troops. The armor
looks a bit mottled and beat up. What could be more

S The next step is to add the final armor highlights. This is
done by adding a little Citadel Bubonic Brown to the Olive
Drab and eventually building this up to a straight Bubonic
Brown. Keep these highlights sharp or you'll start to wash

Citadel Red Wash and Purple Wash can be used on the ol~
Nurgle marines to make those lumpy bruised areas of their
armor look really nasty. Just thin it down a little with s~me
water and spread it around the raised areas. The effect 1s
not pretty.
That's it folks . I've given it my best shot. This technique is
even more unorthodox then my last one and may take a
read through, or two, to get it. Take a look at the photos.
They aren' t the best but they give you a general idea of
where I'm corning from .

• This is a stage that may have a few

people scratching their heads as they
read it. Stick with me, it all makes
sense in the end. Grab a bottle of
Citadel Chestnut wash. I use this color
for all of the trim on my armor. All I
do is dip my brush in the bottle and
then run it around the trim on the
armor (shoulder pads, knee caps, feet,
Chaos symbols, etc...). You'll find that
the wash changes the color of the trim
to, of all things, a chestnut brown. And
even better, it works with the paint
you applied earlier (this is what I
meant when I said it delicacy doesn't
really come into play) to make natural
looking highlights on the trim. This
step looks good and saves you oodles
of time. If you find you want to add
some highlights to the trim just hit it
with a dry brush of Bubonic Brown.

Note: If you take a look at the scan of

the Plague Marine, (the one that was
painstakingly converted into an
assault marine with a jump pack that
can no longer be used in my army,
along with the other ten like him)
you'll see that I also used the Chestnut

TVRANID DACTYLIS: SPECIAL RULES AND WEAPONS
The Dactylis is another specialized Tyranid bio-war machine,
bred for the purpose of striking at the foe from long range while
more conventional Tyranid constructs close in to attack with
tooth and claw.
The Dactylis uses its long forelimbs to lob hard shelled, parasitic
creatures full of higly corrosive bile. The pods shatter on impact,
spraying chitinous shrapnel and corrosive bile over a wide area.
Short range destruction is supplied by outgrowths of virulent
spores on the creature's carapace. An autonomic nerve function
fires in the presence of non-Tyranid bioforms with the speed and
hitting power of bolters.
Dactylis are driven by instinct and are liable to become confused
and uncoordinated unless they are controlled by the Hive Mind.
The Dactylis 's natural instincts have been genetically altered to
make it Nest, remaining stationary and hurling its bile pods at the
nearest enemy in the firing phase.
Bile Pods
Any models within l" of a bile pod blast marker will be splashed
with corrosive bile on a D6 roll of 4, 5 or 6. Resolve splash hits
with the normal stats of the weapon.
Spore Cysts
Spore cysts are the Dactylis's automatic response to the presence
of non-Tyranid bioforms. Each enemy model that moves within
8" of the Dactylis is fired at immediately using the Dactylis's BS,
the spore cyst weapon stats and normal shooting modifiers
including the -1 hit modifier for Overwatch targets corning out of
cover if applicable. During the Tyranid shooting phase (not
movement phase}, the Dactylis automatically fires its spore cysts
once at each enemy model within 8" that is not in close combat
with the Dactylis. Dreadnoughts and closed vehicles are always
ignored.
Close Combat
The Dactylis uses its Ram Value for any damage inflicted by it in
close combat. Because the Dactylis is so large, the extra dice and
+ l WS bonuses for additional attackers do not apply in any close
combat with the Dactylis.
Ramming
Most vehicles are not designed for ramming, hence the ramming
rules where both vehicles in a ram/collision can be damaged.
Tyranid vehicles, on the other hand are semi-sentient creatures
genetically designed for close combat. When a Tyranid vehicle
rams or charges another vehicle, work out damage to the other
vehicle as normal. For the Tyranid vehicle the location that
actually touches the other vehicles is hit on a D6 roll of 4, 5 or 6
and other locations are hit on a D6 roll of 6. Work out damage for
any hit locations as normal.

spex, Dactylis, Trygon) as vehicles. Vortex, Aura Of Decay,
Aquiescence, Pink Fire Of Tzeench, Executioner, Kop Dis and Da
Crunch work as normal . The Leadership test-based Powers
(Domination, Smite, Scourging, Beam of Slaanesh, Pavane of
Slaanesh and Storm Of Wrath) will apply to any Tyranid vehicle
that is outside the range of a Hive Node (Hive Tyrant, Tyranid
Warrior) .
HowTo Build A Dactylis
The Dactylis in the photo on the datafax is a
simple conversion from the Armorcast Haru-
spex. The mouth claws have been drastically
cut down and then puttied in place. Swap the
arms from side to side and point them to the
rear of the vehicle. Cut the acid jet off, cut it
down the middle (split lengthwise) and re-
mount at the back of the arm to use as the rear
fingers holding the bile pods. Cut the can
opener claw off and remount it as the front
finger holding the bile pods.

The Imperial Guard Hydra is a specia_lized anti~ircraft Overwatch

variant of the Chimera APC. Fitted with quad-lmked
autocaimons, it is designed to sweep the sky clear of
pesky Eldar jet bikes, Tyranid Gargoyles and Marine
jump squads.
Special Rules
The Hydra may not transport troops. All available
space is taken up by prodigious amounts of ammuni-
tion. Since the Hydra is a support vehicle, one regular
Chimera is required for the purchase of each Hydra.
Loaders
Two loaders are used to keep the ammo bins filled
with fresh ammo. If there are less than two loaders
the Hydra's rate of fire drops off.
2 Loaders All four weapons may fire
1 Loader Only two weapons may fire
No Loaders Only one weapon may fire
Ground Targets
The Hydra may be used against ground targets, but
its targeters are not designed for these kinds of targets Two new vehicle cards designed to improve the
so suffers a -2 hit modifier against all non-flying,
skimming, jumping targets.
The Hydra follows slightly different rules for fi . .
turret mounted weapons on overwatch N nng Its
. · ormal
turreted veh 1cles may only overwatch fire · th
90 degree fire arc of the turret. The specia)~~d tront
speed turret motors allow the Hydra to fir . ' gh
. e rn a full
360 degree fire arc on overwatch much like th ..,.
tula. e iaran- '
Remember that any models flying high may b fir
at when they fly high, not just when they corn: d ed
. h'1gh .
from fl ymg own
Special Ammo and Ammo Feeds
The Hydra has specialized, upgraded long range
autocannon ammo for use against aerial targets, so
ignore the additional 12" range for flying targets. The
autocannons mounted on the Hydra have improved
ammo feeds compared to the infantry weapon, so you
may ignore the first two Jam dice rolled for each shot.
Hydra Vehicle Cards
Hydra's capabilities are included below.

RADAR TARGETER TRACER AMMO

upgraded to a radar targeter that been equipped with tracer
