Elite squads of Alpha legion assassins, once renowned for their ability to silently infiltrate enemy strongholds, locate high value targets, and eliminate them before anyone's the wiser. Through use of snipers, clandestine agents, and ammunition that can compromise even ceramite, these heretic astartes ensure that there are no witnesses to their grim deeds.

Astartes: These genetically modified superhumans are made for one purpose: war.

During each friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative’s activation, it can perform either two Shoot actions or two Fight actions. If it’s two Shoot actions, a bolt pistol or boltgun must be selected for at least one of them.

Each friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative can counteract regardless of its order.

Toxin-Impregnated Explosives: Based in ancient xenoech, these warriors use explosivse saturated with esoteric poisons designed to compromise heavy armor.

In the Resolve Attack Dice step, if you inflict damage with any critical successes using a weapon with the Blast weapon rule (except for the explosive grenades from the universal equipment list) , the operative this weapon is being used against gains one of your splinter tokens (if it doesn’t already have one).Whenever a friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative is shooting an enemy operative with a splinter token, its ranged weapons gain the Severe and weapon rule.

Lies and Deceit: The alpha legion are unknowable to any but themselves, and are experts at feinting one manuever, while enacting another.

Whenever a friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative incapacitates an enemy operative, it may immediatly change its order.

Not every Tyranid invasion is genestealer cults and nightmarish beasts descending from the sky. In times of war the hive mind may deploy a small pack of highly specialized organisms crafted to remove a particularly stubborn obstacle. These small packs of monstrosities may be bunker busters, careful assassins, or slavering killers throwing themselves at seas of enemies without thought of self preservartion. Whatever the case, the hivemind ensures that the leader organisms in these packs are attuned in body and mind to their specific purpose.
