Unit Spotlight: Dark Legion Praetorian Stalkers (Close Combat)

In the Lore:
Created via the vile necrotechnology of Algeroth’s Tekrons, the Praetorian Stalkers generally hunt in their small birth-packs of 2 to 6 abominations.
It is not unusual for Praetorian Stalkers to bear cruelly sharpened melee weapons, intent on the malevolent slaughter of all who oppose them. Even though the central part of the Stalker is a biological brain, they are completely devoid of feelings and basic instincts. They are possessed of a terrifyingly cold anima that few have witnessed and survived. They are completely single-minded and unquestioning in their loyalty, yet the nature of their creation means they are far more than unthinking bio-machines or animated dead-things, as are many other warriors within the ranks of the Dark Legion’s Kohorts. Rather, Praetorian Stalkers are intelligent and cunning, making them a true rival to the special forces of any of the megacorporations.

On the Tabletop:
The Close Combat Stalkers are vicious melee troops, they are armed with the enormous Reaper of Semai. It gives the Stalkers +4 to their strength bringing it up to 14 in melee, plus it has AVV 6 which makes it good at wrecking vehicles.

The Reaper of Semi also has the following Passive skills: Reaper which makes any roll of 1-3 Critical Force and Damage 2. The Power of the Symmetry skill gives them Impenetrable armour of 10.

Their Passive: Bonded at Birth gives them +1 Ranged and Close Combat Skill for every two models alive in the squad.

The Passive: Stalkers skill allows Praetorian Stalkers to deploy via Infiltration or Rapid Deployment and if they Rapid Deploy they ignore the effects of rolling a 20.

Finally Praetorian Stalkers have the Passive: Flesh in the Shell skill with lets them ignore the effects of Critical Force completely.
