Not a bad idea for a Firebase article or five though.

Some of these already exist or can be easily proxied.
Look for the Epic 40k IG sprue on ebay. Rare, but Ive bought a couple over the years. On that there is a Trooper with radio (spotter anyone?) and a Psyker.
For the combat engineers I would either use some of the excellent Dark Realm miniatures (Standard infantry look the part to me and the command pack comes with an engineer I noticed) or seige infantry.
A bridging vehicle is pretty straight forward too I'd warrant. To get some ideas search google for Hobarts Funnies (ww2 british AVRE vehicles). A really nice conversion could be done using a Ragnarok tank hull with a bridge at the front and winch gear on the top of the vehicle.
Vindicare assassin. Hmm. Do a search- I know someone (Vermis?) did some excellent 6mm sculpts using the marine scout as teh basis..
edit: Ahah, I think it was lex
Edit (the second) and here is the IG sprue CHeck the fourth row down, 1st and second minis from the right for Psyker and Spotter.

I believe GZG has conversion bits for turning vehicle chassis' into engineering type vehicles and vehicle launched brigding systems.
Yep, here it is....

This is all I could dig up. They're on 6mm Sci-Fi wargames yahoo group so you need to be a member to view.
Bridgelayer
Turns out Brigade models might be of some help as well.

Unfortunately GZG seems to think that their rather low resolution PDF catalogue serves as a picture repository for their older figs. Unfortunately that code wasn't in existence when the catalog was made. I'll stop before I go on a mini-rant.

For 3) there is the neat spotter from the DRM Sniper Teams. You can also use the originalk sprue IG gunner and put him in a foxhole:

Yeah. Both EW and DRM have excellent spotter models
Both also have decent sniper models that could be used as Vindicares if you're not too fuzzy about exact miniature likeness.
