The Val-Kaeth Squad is a hyper-regimented, fully armored, clone-style Aeldari strike force built for specialized close-quarters combat and strategic lane suppression. Operating under precise factory-perfect uniformity, every soldier is equipped with fully enclosed helmets and reinforced heavy plating.

Strategic Doctrine The Val-Kaeth do not fight individual duels; they strike as a singular, manufactured instrument of military discipline.

Through their Fleet of Foot training, the squad utilizes free Dash actions immediately following a standard move, allowing them to rapidly reposition across the battlefield. Frontline elements utilize a strict Buddy System when engaging targets, maximizing close-combat support to completely overwhelm enemy positions before a counter-strike can be mounted.

THE LIGHTNING AEGIS

Stormcast Eternals • Vanguard Strike Cell

Bound by ancient lightning and a singular cosmic oath, the Lightning Aegis is a hyper-focused strike team deployed to wipe out high-priority targets with devastating, short-range tactical shock actions. Operating under strict Security protocols, this vanguard unit functions as a flawless machine of binary destruction: three elite Praetor protectors acting as an unbreakable shield line for a trio of volatile Stormcoven battle-mages. On the battlefield, they do not give ground, they do not break, and they leave nothing but ash in their wake.

OPERATIONAL DOCTRINE (SECURITY)

• Phalanx Advance: The squad coordinates in strict pairs (one Praetor bound to one Mage). They advance up the board as three distinct, self-sustaining combat cells to lock down choke points.
• Aggressive Containment: Rather than hunting for kills across the entire map, the team seizes the center objectives early, daring the enemy to enter the 6-inch lethal bubble of their Azyrite Bolts.
• Interlocking Defense: Through the Staunch Defender protocol, any attempt to pick off the high-damage mages from afar is instantly thwarted by a Praetor stepping into the line of fire.

SICARIAN KILL-CLADE: THETA-PHOBOS

Adeptus Mechanicus • Reconnaissance & Elimination Cell

Operating under absolute radio silence and cloaked behind layers of digital static, Kill-Clade: Theta-Phobos is a specialized cybernetic hunting pack deployed to dismantle enemy infrastructure from within. Operating under strict Recon protocols, this team does not fight a conventional war. Instead, they blind the enemy's sensors, jam their frequencies, and map the battlefield in total secrecy. By the time the opponent realizes their territory has been breached, the asymmetric trap has already sprung.

OPERATIONAL DOCTRINE (RECON)

• Ghost Grid Navigation: The squad uses Circuitous Forwarding to sprint between cover elements without breaking their Conceal orders, completely denying the enemy any clean lines of sight.
• Asymmetric Execution: Infiltrators identify isolated targets and blind them with static, allowing the hyper-fast Ruststalkers to launch high-accuracy charges that bypass terrain penalties entirely.
• Data Extraction: True to their Recon nature, the clade prioritizes map dominance—flooding all four quarters of the battlefield to upload tactical map grids before the enemy can coordinate a counter-attack.
