why not a tech priest for Guard to repair vehicles?

[BotZero]

would that be too strong?

We're always looking at feedback and suggestions.

One thing to note: A tech priest is technically a unit from the Cult Mechanicus faction, and while they are often seen assisting Space Marines or Astra Militarum, they are a "borrowed" unit, like an inquistor might be, for example.

There is some risk that distinct factions could "creep" into all becoming Imperium factions, rather than distinctly themselves.

If only this wouldn't break the balance of forces between factions. Why not include a field medic (with a steam pack for extra action or extra HP boost so they survive 1st grenade or flamer attack) insted for Guardsmen, Kasrkin, and Ogryns to make Imperial Guard infantry better? The vehicles of the Astra Militarum are alright, and the Sisters of Battle and Tau don't have Mechanicus and they don't complain. Why Imperial Guard have to by more OP? Maybe this could be for another Astra Militarum faction with fewer tanks(mordians, valhalan, deathcorps, tallaran)?

Neutral units that you cud ad to all Imperial factions(or later units common to all subfactions of Chaos for example) like mechanicus priest or Inquisitor sounds interesting. Considering faction-dependent costs, it's cheaper for Adepta Sororitas to recruit an Inquisitor compared to a Techpriest (Cult of Omnissiah vs. Ecclesiarchy and Cult of the Emperor). The Guard is in the middle, with Space Marines on the opposite end of the spectrum.

nothing ive suggested would make imperial guard more overpowered than necrons and tau. just went ahead and blocked 1marcinmalczewski he attacks me on every post i make.

Medic Attachment could be something you could choose for an infantry squad - can take a turn and regain health or if full health replenish a nearby infantry squad.

If this is a concern, an alternative to this can be Atlas Recovery Vehicle and/or Trojan Support Vehicle. Both of these use the already existing Leman Russ and Chimera chassis, respectively, minimizing the need to make new 3D assets.

Recovery Vehicle sound reasonable cost option vehicle repair but for a price(and in place) of the tank(with heavy bolter to selfdefence).
