well, here is the first stage of the provost troop project. farmer maggots dogs seem pretty ok.  almost to scale and pretty dynamic.







the handler has a bolt pistol to give the squad a teeny weeny bit of little close range dakka.  the full rules are below.


Pts WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
Provost Trooper 9 3 4 3 3 1 4 1 8 5+
Provost Sergeant 14 4 4 3 3 1 4 2 8 5+
Dog Handler 9 3 4 3 3 1 4 1 8 5+
Attack dog 5 3 - 3 2 1 2 1 - -

Number/squad: The provost troop consists of a Provost Sergeant and 5 Troopers.
Weapons: They are armed with either a shotgun or a las pistol and truncheon
The Provost Sergeant may ONLY have a pistol and truncheon but may upgrade to a bolt pistol for 5pts or a plasma pistol for 10pts. He may also take carapace armour at 5pts.
Options: One Trooper may be upgraded to a Dog Handler at no extra cost. He can then be given between 1-3 attack dogs at 5 pts each. He is armed with a las pistol but may upgrade to a bolt pistol for 5pts or a plasma pistol for 10pts
No other upgrades are permitted
Special Rules:
Attack Dogs: the dogs count as a surveyor but for a second and third dog you may roll an extra D6 each for the detection range. Any friendly unit within 12” of the Provost Troop may then fire on any enemy infiltrators discovered. If the handler is killed the dogs run off and are counted as killed for VP purposes.
Military Police: the troop is a second line force so must deploy no further than 6” from the table edge.

i see them as an ideal anti infiltrator/deep strike squad. set them to guard a basilisk or important objective and they will be fine.
