It would give them more staying power, plus they can be pretty costly too, I think this would make them more attractive being followed by an enginseer]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750695/9831479.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750695/9831479.page GMT Repair Kataphrons?
Though I can also see the fictional justification that the enginseer doesn't have the medical knowledge to deal with any possible injury to the human part. EDIT: Nope, I'm wrong about that. From the codex: "While other Tech-Priests concern themselves with the Quest for Knowledge, Enginseers take on a more utilitarian role, tending the servitor flocks and acting as custodians to the machines they serve." They should probably be able to repair everything from a fiction perspective.

Rules text for the three repair abilities if anyone needs to see how they differ:
Spoiler:

Cawl:
Master of Machines: At the end of your Movement phase Belisarius Cawl can repair a single friendly IMPERIUM model within 3" (but not himself). The model being repaired regains 1 lost wound, unless it is an ADEPTUS MECHANICUS model, in which case it regains D3 lost wounds. A model may not be the target of the Master of Machines ability more than once per turn.

Dominus:
Master of Machines: At the end of your Movement phase this model can repair a single friendly <FORGE WORLD> or QUESTOR MECHANICUS model within 3" (but not itself). If the model being repaired is a <FORGE WORLD> model, it regains D3 lost wounds; if it is a QUESTOR MECHANICUS model, it regains 1 lost wound. A model may not be the target of the Master of Machines ability more than once per turn.

Enginseer:
Master of Machines: At the end of your Movement phase this model can repair a single friendly <FORGE WORLD> VEHICLE, ASTRA MILITARUM VEHICLE or QUESTOR MECHANICUS model within 3". If the model being repaired is a <FORGE WORLD> or ASTRA MILITARUM model, it regains D3 lost wounds; if it is a QUESTOR MECHANICUS model, it regains 1 lost wound. A model may not be the target of the Master of Machines ability more than once per turn.

I'm not a tournament player but I find a unit of Kataphrons with heavy grav to be a great escort for a tech-priest dominus. The reroll 1s and repairs he provides really help them. Though I'm sure from a competitive perspective the same points spent on something else as an escort for the tech-priest dominus is probably more efficient. I don't play or list build with that concern though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750695/9831635.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750695/9831635.page GMT Repair Kataphrons?
Yeah this is great!

Goes to show how familiar I am with this codex]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750695/9831666.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750695/9831666.page GMT
