'''Eliminators''' are [[Vanguard Space Marine|Vanguard]] [[Primaris Space Marine]] snipers that utilize a range of exotic and deadly ammunition tailored to their target.{{Fn|1}}

Eliminator Squads utilize an even more stripped-down version of the [[Mk.X Phobos Armour]], allowing them to operate with maximum stealth. These warriors serve as dedicated marksman and fire support specialists that haunt the shadows of the battlefield seeking out targets of opportunity and bringing them down from a range. Their primary armament is the '''[[Mk.III Shrike Pattern]]''' [[Bolter|Bolt]] [[Sniper Rifle]], [[Las Fusil]], or [[Instigator Bolt Carbine]]{{Fn|4}}.

The optical sights of this weapon can be tailored for any situation, from thermoscopic vision to precision auspex scans that can penetrate several feet of solid matter. Once locked on, there is nowhere for an Eliminator's prey to hide. Each member of the squad carries spare magazines filled with special ammunition, tailored for every eventuality. Hyperfrag rounds detonate in a shower of shrapnel, Executioner rounds are sophisticated self-guided missiles slaved to a miniaturized [[cogitator]] that can seek their target from behind cover, and Mortis rounds spew self-replicating mutagenic toxins into the flesh of a target.{{Fn|3}}
