Provost K-9 unit.

above i outlined my very rough ideas for a provost troop. basicly a small team of very hard veterans who are good at knocking heads together. same stats as hardened veterans bust WS4 BS3 instead of the other way around. Iv tried to keep them as close to the H.V as possible but have a slightly fluffy difference (ie laspistol and baton is the same in game terms as laspistol and chainsword)

but a few ideas have been flying round about having a dog in the team. now this fits in with real world armies as well as things like hive enforcers that have a robo-dog called a cyber-mastif.

the best idea was from mortis to use the "farmer maggots dogs" models. iv looked at the website and they look cock on.

now iv looke dat the stats for the cyber mastif  (from necromunda so mov. is inluded)

M6 WS4 BS0 S5 T4 W1 I3 A1 ld-

and i think the S and T seems high for a normal dog.

now the cyber dog was free roaming but i think it would be better for me to always have the animal leashed. Thats why i thought about having a composite profile. thats idea #1. basicly the dog would just increase the handlers attacks and maybe give him +1 toughness like a bike does, and +1 wound. and it would also act as a sensor to detect infiltraitors.

so for 10pts one trooper may be upgraded to a Dog Handler.

his stats change to WS4 BS3 S3 T3(4) W2* I3 A1(3) Ld8

i had to make the combined attacks three as im only arming him with a laspistol and the dog. so his attacks would be the same as a normal trooper with psitol and hand weapon. so on charging he would have 4 attacks. is this to many? is the stat line to much for 18pts?

you see iv propper decided to spend 20 quid on the cadian upgrade pack and the farmer and his dogs to make this unit happen. i really want it to work tho and if im at Space Marine world where is mostly play and i want to use it without being laughed out.
