Starship Troopers Miniatures Game Supplement New Units, Upgrades and New Army Lists
Even though the Starship Trooper Miniatures Game line has been discontinued, there are still many people out there that want a continually supported game. In the absence of such justification, I have created an add-on to the game. I do not plan on making this for money. Thank you. Now enjoy.
Rebel Colony Army List You may field one platoon of Colony Rebels for every 1000pts of an army you have, a single platoon may cost more than 1000pts you may not have more than one platoon per 1000pts. This is a more advanced version of the Rebel Colony List, although the older one inside Signs and Portents is still perfectly usable. 1 Rebel Colony Lieutenant +80pts 0-2 Rebel Colony NCO +60pts 1-2 Rebel Colony Squads per Officer (minimum 2) +120pts 0-4 Colony Civilian Mobs +50pts Priority Level One Command 0-1 Colony per platoon +70pts 0-1 model per platoon may replace their Javelin Missile Launcher with a Rapier AA Missile Launcher for +0pts Air 0-3 Civil Landing Craft per Platoon +80pts Priority Level Two Command Assets 0-1 Power Suit Squad per platoon +220pts 0-2 Colony Spies per platoon +70pts 0-1 model per squad may replace their Javelin Missile Launcher with a Rapier AA Missile Launcher for +0pts Air 0-5 Civil Landing Craft per platoon +80pts Priority Level Three Command 0-2 Power Suit Squads per platoon +220pts 0-3 Colony Spies per platoon +70pts Any model in the platoon may replace their Javelin Missile Launcher with a Rapier AA Missile Launcher for +0pts 0-1 CDF-13A Armoured Fighting Tank per platoon +220pts 0-1 Pee-wee Atomic Warhead per platoon +300pts Air Any number of Civil Landing Craft per platoon +80pts

New Mobile Infantry Add-ons TW-105E Tactical Shotgun
The TW-105E Tactical Shotgun was a move from the Morita Weapons available to the mobile infantry; it contained a large and powerful explosive shell which would almost wipe out an Arachnid warrior bug in one shot. Dubbed the Puncher for its ability to literally punch holes in test subjects, the TW-105E is a powerful weapon indeed. Weapon

The TW-105E Tactical Shotgun is an addition to the mobile infantry arsenal and not yet used in full by all forces in the MI. Any Power Suit Squad, Light Armoured Squad or Pathfinder Squad may purchase a TW-105E Tactical Shotgun, the Shotgun counts towards the Special Weapons limit the squad may have. The TW-105E Tactical Shotgun cost +10pts per model.
Shredder Squad Support Cannon The Shredder Squad Support Cannon may be used as detailed in The Pathfinder Army book but available to Light Armoured Squads and Power Suit Squads at a cost of +20pts per model, it counts towards the Special Weapons limit the squad has.
TW-109-E Emancipator Heavy Pistol Used by SICON agents and Light Armoured Mobile Infantry high command these powerful, but under ranged weapons are very concealable and effective at the right target. They are powerful, but with a short amount of bullets (only 12 shots) these weapons are the life-savers of SICON against smaller bugs like Control Bugs. Weapon TW-109-E Emancipator Heavy Pistol
Range 12"
Damage D6+1
Type Squad
Traits Piercing/1
Small Clip: When the Emancipator acts in a reaction, a roll of 1 and 2 on the die counts as “Out of Ammo”, but because of the ease of reloading it may be fired on the next reaction or action. Accurate at small targets: When this weapon is fired at a size 1 model it gains damage D6+2 instead of D6+1.
The TW-109-E Emancipator Heavy Pistol and the Stock Stick can replace the morita rifle for free per Officer. But a SICON agent and Fleet Landing Parties may purchase this weapon instead of the Morita Carbine for free.
Jammers The Arachnids work as a collected mind, when their brain bug is lost they are temporarily thrown into confusion. Jammers repeat the frequency of a dead Brain Bug to all Arachnid units, hoping to throw a unit into confusion. When a Arachnid Unit is capable to react to a Mobile Infantry unit within the command radius of a model with this equipment, roll a D6 for the Jammer carrying soldier. On a roll of 5+ one Arachnid model (may only be a Warrior Species) looses their next reaction. Models that do not react are out of command if they are left outside the command radius of their unit leader. Any Pathfinder Unit or Mobile Infantry Officer may purchase this equipment for +10pts per model.
CDF-13A Ironshield Armoured Fighting Tank……………………………240pts See Page Six for all the rules on the Ironshield. In the mobile infantry the CDF-13A Ironshield is available as a 0-1 per platoon in PL1 and PL2 and available as a 0-2 per platoon in PL3.

The Forth Army List
For Background on the Forth please relate to Signs and Portents #47, #45 and #44, for miniatures the best and easiest to get your hands on are the Tau Battlesuits (both the large X-8 and the new stealth suits) for Warhammer 40k. The Spyder Battlesuit is essentially an Arachnid Warrior Bug’s legs with a dome on top. The XV-8 Tau Battlesuit (left) is for the larger and medium Fenris Battlesuits, while the XV-25 Tau Stealthsuit (right) can be used for the more common Fenos Battlesuits. About the weapons systems; The Tau Burst Cannon is the Cagnitus Chaingun. The Pulse Cannon is the Chanklas Sniper Cannon. The Smart Missile System is the Cyncas Missile Launcher. The Plasma Rifle is the Chermas Point Defence weapon. Unlike the Mobile Infantry the Forth do not have a command system, but rather like the Skinnies Hegemony, the Army list is show with the amount of units each can use. The Forth may include the below for each 2000pts of any army they have.
Priority Level One Unlimited amount of Fenos Battlesuits - 120pts (minimum 3 units per 2000pts) 0-2 Fenris Battlesuit - 250pts Command Assets

Any Fenos may have different weapons (for example it may have a Chanklas and Cyncas, instead of 2 Cagnitus). Loner: All Forth Battlesuits are capable of fighting on their own, and so all Forth have no command radius, the sophisticated systems don’t need it, there is no disadvantages of no command radius for the Forth.
Lock and Load: As with the Marauder Suits of the MI, these weapons are heavily sustained. All weapons count as Infinite weapons and may fire two weapons in a single shoot action.

With a Self-destruct Matrix installed, the model may voluntarily self destruct after the last hit has been removed from the model. Resolve 2xD6+2 damage rolls to models within the point blank range. Loner: All Forth Battlesuits are capable of fighting on their own, and so all Forth have no command radius, the sophisticated systems don’t need it, there is no disadvantages of no command radius for the Forth. Lock and Load: As with the Marauder Suits of the MI, these weapons are heavily sustained. All weapons count as Infinite weapons and may fire two weapons in a single shoot action. Command variant: For +50pts one Fenris per 2000pts must be upgraded to command Fenris. The command variant looses the options to mount more weapons and gains Coordinate see the Exosuit Captain or Arachnid Brain Bug for the rules for Co-ordinate. The upgraded Fenris does not count towards the maximum number of Fenris Battlesuits
per 2000pts. So a 2000pts PL2 army may have three Fenris Battlesuits and one Command Fenris.

Weapons and Equipment: Morita Assault rifle w/underslung grenade launcher Go Career: The General may purchase up to +100pts of Mobile Infantry Heroic traits including talents. Co-ordinate: Each General generates a bonus action for the Arachnid player during their turn. This action can be used by any one Arachnid unit on the tabletop during the turn, enabling that unit to complete a total of three actions in a turn. The General does not need to do anything special to generate the action; their mere presence is sufficient. Once removed as a casualty, Co-ordinate no longer applies. Each unit may only benefit from one bonus action per turn no matter how many Human Arachnid-controlled Generals, Brain Bugs or Queen Bugs there are on the table. Air Units may benefit from Coordinate. MI Infiltrator: The General may be deployed 10” closer than the other Arachnid Models. As long as the general does not attack an MI unit or venture into the reaction range of an MI unit then MI may not shoot at him.
