Sappers - 30 points
The unit gains the Bolster Defences special rule, and may designate 1 piece of terrain not more than 6" across at its narrowest point. Friendly models crossing that piece of terrain across its narrowest point may treat the terrain as 1 grade lower - Impassable Terrain becomes Dangerous, Dangerous Terrain becomes Difficult, and Difficult Terrain becomes Open.

So, what do you think? On par with Carapace Armour / Demo Charge + Meltabombs / Camo Cloaks + Snare Mines? A solid defensive bonus and a situational offensive bonus.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483407/4885648.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483407/4885648.page GMT Re:Imperial Guard - Combat Engineers SM codex, in that it just gives a piece of terrain (that is not a fortification) +1 to it's cover save. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483407/4885790.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483407/4885790.page GMT Imperial Guard - Combat Engineers AP 5 hit that ignores cover saves. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483407/4885817.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483407/4885817.page GMT Imperial Guard - Combat Engineers http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483407/4885826.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483407/4885826.page GMT Re:Imperial Guard - Combat Engineers

It does. That's what Bolster Defences does. Hence "The unit gains Bolster Defences and...".

You secretly nominate one piece of terrain to rig with explosives, when the enemy moves into that piece of terrain, all models in that unit suffer a strength 5 AP 5 hit that ignores cover saves.


That sounds more like something Forward Observers would have.

How is it similar? You designate a piece of terrain instead of just getting a bonus for the one you're in, and then you build a bridge over an obstacle instead of having an anti-charge defence. They're totally different.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483407/4887159.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483407/4887159.page GMT Imperial Guard - Combat Engineers
I'd go with Combat Engineers:
Dig In: Bolster defense (+1 cover) of single terrain piece they are deployed in. This bonus only applies to the Combat Engineers.
Traps: As long as they have not left the terrain they deployed in, the first enemy unit that enters that terrain takes 2D6 S4 AP6 hits (vehicles hit on rear armor).
