Conscript | Combat Patrol: Maniple Verask-Alpha Army Rules

Army Rules

Maniple Verask-Alpha

This combined arms combat maniple was first assembled by Enginseer Verask to provide him with protection and martial might during the fighting around the turbine-city of Shadravorsk. Even as the Enginseer sought to repair exchanger shrines damaged by the Ork invaders and recover precious archeotech dropped by slain tech-magi, so his cyborg warriors exterminated one greenskin attack wave after another with their devastating firepower.

This Combat Patrol includes the units shown below.

Skitarii Rangers (10 models)
Onager Dunecrawler (1 model)
Kataphron Destroyers (3 models)
Enginseer Verask (1 model)

Abilities

The datasheets required to use Maniple Verask-Alpha can be found in the Datasheets section, and are designed exclusively for Combat Patrol games. A unit’s datasheet will list all the abilities it has. This will include a Faction ability – Doctrina Imperatives – that is referenced on many units’ datasheets, and is described below.

Your TECH-PRIEST ENGINSEER model is your WARLORD and has the Omniballistic Data-Tether Enhancement. You can replace this with Imperative Surge-wafer.

Conqueror Imperative

Lore

An Adeptus Mechanicus army marching to war is a sight both terrifying and glorious, each holy warrior a disturbing fusion of Human and machine. While the ruling Tech-Priests and their fanatical followers raise modified voices in praise of the Machine God, their Skitarii soldiery and Servitor creations are controlled by doctrina imperatives loaded by their masters to augment and adapt the warriors’ abilities.
