Phobos Strike Team
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
A Phobos Strike Team is a Kill Team Unit, that consists of Phobos armoured Infiltrator and Incursor Vanguard Space Marines.[1]
Moving in virtual silence and with remarkable agility and speed, Vanguard Space Marine kill teams stay several steps ahead of their enemies at all times. They are masters of sabotage and stealth. They work in concert to outmanoeuvre enemy forces many times their own size and pick them apart with a terrifying blend of overwhelming force and pinpoint precision.[2a]
Operatives
-
Infiltrator Sergeant : strategic and tactical leader of Photos Strike Teams.[2b] -
Incursor Sergeant : Tending towards aggressive and dynamic strategies, Incursor Sergeants lead Phobos Strike Teams in furious covert offensives.[2b] -
Reiver Sergeant : Reiver Sergeants are masters of psychological warfare and terror tactics. Their remit is to wield their Phobos Strike Team like a scalpel, slicing apart the tenuous strands of enemy morale[2b] -
Infiltrator Warrior : swift and aggressive in thought and deed, even by the standards of their warrior brotherhood. They carry a Marksman bolt carbine and armoured fists.[2b] -
Incursor Warrior : potent offensive skirmishers. They use oracular auspexes slaved to their Occulus bolt carbines to spot enemy targets, even through solid walls.[2b] -
Reiver Warrior : Bursting from the shadows amidst vox-amplified howls, Reivers fall upon their horrified victims with pistols booming and blades swinging.[2b] -
Infiltrator Veteran The most experienced Infiltrator battle-brothers stalk their enemies like armoured gheists, wielding weaponry selected from their Chapter's most rarefied armouries, each one augmented through the careful attentions of master artificers.[2b] -
Infiltrator Commsman : they act as a strategic nexus upon the battlefield, a conduit through which vox-exchanges and intelligence inloads pass like lightning. Their presence increases the strike team's versatility and swiftness of action.[2b] -
Infiltrator Voxbreaker : their specialised equipment allow them to scan and isolate enemy threats, but they can also break into the foe's communications and plunder them for strategic intelligence.[2b] -
Infiltrator Helix Adept : medicae support to get wounded battle-brothers back into the fight, and to reclaim the gene-seed of the slain for the Chapter.[2b] -
Infiltrator Saboteur : Carrying a deadly array of melta charges, super-krak munitions and even anti-plant canisters designed for destruction.[2b] -
Incursor Marksman : employs his Divinator-class auspex to precognitively track where his targets will be, then places killing shots accordingly[2b] -
Incursor Minelayer : Some Incursors carry heavy haywire mines into battle, planting them at pre-cogitated nexuses of probable enemy movement. The electrophantasmic blasts of these weapons can banish machine spirits from enemy wargear and cripple augmetic enhancements.[2b]
