Skitarii Rangers are a type of Skitarii infantry used by the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Overview
Relentless hunter-killer infantry, they will hunt their prey across the galaxy for decades if need be. Mindful of the harsh terrain of Mars, their legs have been removed from the knees down, replaced by cybernetic augmentations.[1] This has made their stamina legendary, and they are known to hunt a foe until it exhausts itself.[2]
Their weapon of choice are Galvanic Rifles, though others may be armed with Arc Rifles, Transuranic Arquebuses, or Plasma Calivers. A Skitarii Rangers team is led by an Alpha, normally equipped with Radium Pistol or Arc Pistol as well as a Power Sword, Taser Goad, or Arc Maul.[1] Furthermore, they are equipped with advanced sensory equipment, a bonded breathing unit and durasteel limbs.[4]
Sub-types
- Scitarii Fresh-Forged - a naming of Skitarii who have only recently been accepted into teams, and whose flesh still raw from the surgery of bionics modifications.[3]
