Alpha Legion Saboteur[2]
Saboteur are a type of warrior utilized by the Alpha Legion during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]
Most often acting alone, the saboteur specializes in covert infiltration, assassination, and sabotage, acts that were usually considered beneath Space Marines. They make their presence known on the battlefield by the destruction they wreak, often in the opening moments of a major engagement when they strike at command centers and vital units or defenses, leaving the foe reeling before the Alpha Legion's onslaught.[1]
In battle, Saboteurs wielded Banestrike Shotguns and Power Daggers as well as a variety of grenades and Venom Spheres.[3]
