Male Human Enginseer
108th Omicron Rapid Recon, The Hunter's Spear
Demeanour Pious: The Emperor is not some distant deity to this character, but a guiding beacon whose presence he sees everywhere he goes. This character makes no distinction between his religious and his military duties, and has little tolerance for the vices or doubts of his squad-mates.

Traits:
Mechanicus Implants : The character is a servant of the Machine-God, and has access to implants beyond other characters.
Spoiler:
The Electro-graft is a small port that is grafted into the nervous system. Once a recipient has been properly trained, this allows him to interface with machine data ports and certain types of data nets. Electro-grafts can take many forms, such as skull shunts, finger probes, or spine jacks.
Electoo Inductors are palm-sized metal skin grafts that appear much like tattoos to the uninitiated. The electoos are wired into the nervous system, where they derive power from the bio-electrical emanations of the flesh and the sacred mysteries of the Potenia Coil. They can be used to emit or siphon power in many ways.
A Respirator Unit implant involves tubes, wires, voxgrills, or other augmetic parts replacing the neck and upper chest. The unit purifies the air supply, granting a +20 bonus to resist airborne toxins and gas weapons. The respirator unit also contains a vox-synthesiser capable of transmitting the voice in a variety of ways.
The Cyber-mantle is a framework of metal, wires, and impulse transmitters bolted onto the spine and lower ribcage. As the initiate gains further implants, this mantle acts as a sub-dermal anchorage point. Amongst some servants of the Omnissiah, this cyber-mantle is often referred to as “the true flesh.”
Cradled within the cyber-mantle is a power unit known as the Potentia Coil. This mass can store energy and produce various types of fields. Coils come in many types, from small crystal stack affairs to bulky electrical galvinators.
Cranial circuitry is a series of linked processors, implants, and cortical circuits that enhances mental capacities. Most sit within housing bolted onto the skull, whilst others nestle within the brain itself.
Equipment:
Tauros Venator (Shared with Thomas Locke)
One set of Magnonoculars: These are powerful vision aids that magnify distant objects.
Microbead: A micro-bead or comm-bead is a short range communication device worn in the ear, good for communication out to about one kilometre (depending on weather conditions and intervening terrain).
Knife Class:Melee/Thrown Range:5m Dam:1d5 R Pen:0 Wt:1kg Avail:Plentiful
Mantrap: A portable hinged jaw device that has become popular in the Spinward Front, being used against the Orks of Waaagh! Grimtoof. It was designed as a lightweight tool that the Guardsmen could place as a trap or to protect an area from outside enemies. Most Orks, not being of the highest level of intelligence, tend not to notice them. It was developed primarily for fighting in cities such as Kulth, to slow the Orks down without sacrificing the city’s buildings. If a character steps on the clutch inside the trap, it snaps shut on their leg dealing 1d10 Rending Damage, and rendering him Immobilized. The individual must pass a Difficult (–10) Strength Test to free themselves from the clutches of the trap
Auspex (Squad): The standard Imperial detection device, these are used to detect energy emissions, motion, biological life-signs, and other information. A character using an auspex gains a +20 bonus to Awareness Tests and may make a Tech-Use Test to use it to spot things not normally possible with human senses, such as invisible gases, nearby signs of life, non-visible radiation, or other things as appropriate. The standard range for an auspex is 50m, though walls more than 50cm thick and certain shielding materials can block the scanner.

One primer or instructional handbook: A staple piece of gear that Guardsmen are required to have on them at all times—this piece of kit is never to fall into the hands of the enemies of the Imperium. It details everything a Guardsman needs to know: principles and regulations of the Imperial Guard, issued arms, attire, apparatus, and equipment, basic battlefield policy and Imperial Guard organisation and structure, elementary battlefield medical instructions, and a detailed guide on the foes of the Imperium. No Guardsman should ever be found without possession of a copy of the Uplifting Primer—the punishment is severe.
Combat sustenance rations, two weeks’ supply
Sacred unguents
Dataslate: Data-slates are common in the Imperium and are the primary means of storing and reading printed text and other media such as video or audio recordings. They are cheap and easy to make, and many contain a single media recording, such as text, and can only play that single file. Others can re-record new information or transmit and receive data from other devices.
Combi-tool: Commonly found in the hands of members of the Adeptus Mechanicus, combi-tools are versatile, if somewhat bizarre, mechanical devices. A character using a combi-tool gains a +10 bonus to Tech-Use Tests.
Utility Mechadendrite: This two-metre long limb houses a variety of tools and attachments designed to assist a Tech-Priest in the course of his holy duties. The mechadendrite counts as a combi-tool, granting a +10 bonus to all Tech-Use Tests. The limb also houses six injector pistons, each of which may be filled with one dose of sacred unguent. These can be supplied separately. In addition to this, the limb contains an electrically powered censer, which can gust incense fumes over particularly troublesome faults. The censer generates one “blast” of smoke every fifteen minutes. This can be employed in melee combat to distract and choke, imposing a –5 penalty to Weapon Skill Tests made by all living creatures within a two-metre radius for one Round. This is a Half Action. Unless the censer is deactivated, all Perception Tests made to detect the Tech-Priest that rely on a sense of smell gain a +10 bonus. Once per Round, the character can utilize this mechadendrite as a weapon by spending a Half Action or a Reaction to make a Standard Attack Action with it. A utility mechadendrite counts as a weapon with the following profile: Melee; 1d5 R (+4 S Bonus, and -20 untrained weapon penalty accordingly to errata); Pen 2; Defensive. A character must have the appropriate Mechadendrite Use Talent to operate this implant. Defensive weapons grant a +15 bonus to Tests made when used to Parry, but impose a –10 penalty when used to make attacks.
Knife Class:Melee/Thrown Range:5m Damage:1d5 R Pen:2 Special: Defensive, Mono Wt:1kg Avail:Plentiful
Good Craftsmanship mind impulse unit: These devices, also known as sense-links, allow the owner to interface directly with a machine or technological device. MIUs see widespread use among the Adeptus Mechanicus who regard them as objects of divine communion. A basic MIU implant involves a single spinal or cortex connector, while advanced variants include wrist connector probes—and possibly mechadendrite connectors—in addition to the spinal plug. Common models impose no modifiers to machine spirit communication and add a +10 bonus to Tech-Use or Operate Tests used in conjunction with devices capable of MIU linking. Good models grant a +10 bonus to communicate with machine spirits and for Tech-Use, Operate, Logic, Inquiry, and Ballistic Skill Tests made as part of interfacing with the MIU systems.
Good Craftsmanship Manipulator Mechadendrite: Possibly the most common form of mechadendrite, this artificial limb is a great aid to Enginseers working to repair vehicles in the heat of battle, allowing them to lift greater weights and more easily operate industrial gear. It can extend out to 1.5m and grants the user +20 to Strength-based Tests; the vicious gripping and crushing pincers can also tether the user to gantries or suitably heavy objects as a Free Action. The heavy metal pincers can be used in combat to make melee attacks. Once per Round, the character can utilize this mechadendrite as a weapon by spending a Half Action or a Reaction to make a Standard Attack Action with it. A manipulator mechadendrite counts as a weapon with the following profile: Melee; 1d10+2 I (+6 S Bonus and -20 untrained weapon penalty, accordingly to errata); Pen 0. While powerful, the manipulator is not subtle, and attempts to use it for such tasks as data-slate typing, inscribing sacrificial etchings, handling delicate objects, or the like only ends with equipment being dropped, smashed, or otherwise ruined. A character must have the appropriate Mechadendrite Use Talent to operate this implant.
Good Craftsmanship Bionic Legs: Good Craftsmanship level artificial legs grant the owner the Sprint Talent and add a +20 bonus to Athletics Tests made to jump or leap.

Additionally, a Tech- Priest Enginseer character begins play with a Good Craftsmanship mind impulse unit and two additional Good Craftsmanship cybernetics of his choice.
COMRADE ADVANCES:
After years of training with the Adeptus Mechanicus, and countless bionic surgeries and replacements, the Tech- Priest Enginseer no longer fits in with the rest of humanity. Instead of being paired with a Comrade, the Enginseer is accompanied by a Servitor that works with him on the battlefield. If anything ever happens to the Servitor that requires information from a profile, refer to the Servitor profile on page 372 of Chapter XI: NPCs & Adversaries.
SERVO-ARM
Type: Passive
Cost: 250 xp
Effect: The Servitor assists in all repairs the Enginseer performs, acting as a natural extension of his will as he communes with vehicle machine spirits. When assisted by his Servitor, the Enginseer gains a +10 bonus to all Tech-Use Tests to make repairs, and halves the time any repair takes.
FIELD REPAIRS
Type: Order (Full Action)
Cost: 300 xp
Effect: On the battlefield, the Enginseer links to his Servitor, relaying complex data and instructions, and the Servitor enacts those commands with precision. As long as his Servitor is within range of communication, the Enginseer may perform Tech-Use Tests on anything next to the Servitor at a –10 penalty.
