Scintillan Fusiliers - Wargear: The magazines, hangars, and armouries of the entire Departmento Munitorum are open to the Scintillan Fusiliers to use as they please, when they please -- or so they believe, at least. With his not insignificant influence within the Astra Militarum and the Calixian military-industrial complex, Commander-General Pailus has seen to it that the regiments from his homeworld -- especially his favoured Scintillan 17th -- receive only the finest wargear for their service in the Spinward Front.Through political wrangling, arm-twisting, spreading around copious amounts of Throne Gelt, and even tampering with and re-routing shipments slated for other regiments in need, the Commander-General has ensured that these regiments are well-stocked. The most obvious evidence of Pailus' favour and influence is the fully equipped complement of Valkyrie troop transports that are often called in to support the 17th and many other Scintillan regiments.These aircraft allow the regiment to deploy fully airborne companies, especially those composed of veteran strike units, giving them the ability to perform deep strikes into enemy territory and the flexibility to respond to the fluid tactical situations found in the Spinward Front. Though other regiments of Scintillan Fusiliers operate in different manners depending on their role, the Scintillan 17th stand as a strong archetype, defining the tone of the soldiers from that world if not all of their battlefield specificities.The following is a list of the standard issue equipment and gear of the Scintillan Fusiliers:Lascarbine - A Lascarbine is the carbine form of the standard Imperial Lasgun with a compact upgrade, which makes it easier to carry and to aim than its larger counterpart. It will often possess a folding stock. However, as a result of these modifications, a Lascarbine has a shorter range and will fire fewer shots before depleting its power pack when compared to a standard Lasgun.4 Charge Packs - Charge Packs are powerful capacitor batteries used almost exclusively by Imperial laser weapons. The Charge Pack's size and make varies depending on the class of the weapon. In all cases, it provides shots equal to the weapon's full clip value and can be recharged when emptied.Laspistol (Optional) - The Laspistol is the pistol version of the Lasgun, and this compact firearm fires a coherent beam of energetic photons that can burn through most materials.4 Charge PacksCombat Knife - This one-handed melee implement is the ubiquitous back-up weapon for warriors all across the Imperium, be they lowly hive scum or the elite soldiers of a Planetary Governor. Some, such as the Catachan Fighting Knife, are designed for a specific purpose, whilst others are more generic in nature.Ornamented Light Carapace Armour - Carapace Armour is generally a sign of status and is mostly worn by Imperial officers, special forces and agents of the Inquisition. Made from moulded plates of armaplas, ceramite, or other strong, light but highly resistant materials, it can cover the entire body or just selected regions of the body depending on the desired level of protection. Kasrkin, for example, wear full-body suits of Carapace Armour, including a helmet, while most Imperial Guard soldiers are lucky to gain access to just a simple chestplate of Carapace Armour to wear over more comfortable mesh or flakweave suits. Some bodysuits have slots designed for simple carapace plates to be inserted in, so that the overall suits can be rapidly configured for as much or as little protection as desired. Damaged plates can in this way be more easily replaced without requiring the purchase of an entire new suit. The Scintillan Fusiliers, however, receive access to full suits of carapace Armour that are often ornamented in a highly baroque fashion as suits the tastes of the Imperial nobility in the Calixis Sector.Scintillan Fusiliers Imperial Guard Uniform1 Gas MaskAnnointed Maintenance KitDress UniformRucksackPoor Weather GearBasic Tool KitMess Kit & Water Canteen6 Weeks' RationsBlanket & Sleep BagGrooming KitRechargeable Lamp Pack - Sturdy and reliable, glow-globes illuminate many an Imperial paveway and cathedral.

The Primer is a basic guide that details everything a Guardsman needs to know: principles and regulations of the Astra Militarum, issued arms, attire, apparatus, and equipment, basic battlefield policy and Imperial Guard organisation and structure, elementary battlefield medical instructions, and a detailed guide on the foes of the Imperium. No Guardsman should ever be found without possession of a copy of the Uplifting Primer, for the punishment is severe. The Primer is a basic guide to life in the Astra Militarum and the tactics employed by its regiments.
