Editing Enginseer (section)

==Overview==
Enginseers first and foremost are highly trained members of the Cult Mechanicus and are dedicated to the maintenance of Imperial technology. While Tech Priests may venture out and explore undiscovered locations for [[STC|more goodies to hoard]], Enginseers stay back to help other Imperial Organizations in order to keep their stuff running and maintain a stable relationship with the wider Imperium. They are a common sight on battlefields with large numbers of armoured vehicles, and are often accompanied by a retinue of [[Servitor|servitors]] for assistance or protection. Although most Guardsmen revere their vehicles enough not to risk annoying an Enginseer by 'tinkering,' [[That Guy|the modification of vehicles to fulfill a certain need is inevitable,]] much to the chagrin of any Enginseers present. Enginseer contingents are also included in the mighty [[Adeptus Titanicus|Titan Legions]] and the crews of the massive warships of the [[Imperial Navy]], allowing them to perform emergency repairs in the heat of battle.

Humorously, despite the respect they usually command among the units they are seconded to, Enginseers are not held in high regard among the Cult Mechanicus itself as their skills seldom contribute to The Quest for Knowledge. As a result of their overwhelmingly practical knowledge, they are often viewed as lowly but necessary cogs in the workings of the Cult.

All enginseers make use of robotic arm augmentations known as [[Miscellaneous Weapons#Mechadendrite|Mechadendrites]] that are connected to their central nervous system via the spine. They are used to help the enginseer in repair operations, heavy lifting and for self defense. They're traditionally also armed with an [[Power weapon#Omnissian Axe|omnissian power axe]] and [[laspistol]] to better protect themselves. Enginseer's who are attached to wealthy/well-funded regiments or who just happen to be lucky may also be found equipped with refractor fields and [[Dragon Scale Armour]] for added defense against ranged fire.
