[[Image:ALHeadhunter.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Headhunter{{Fn|1c}}]]'''Headhunters''', or ''Effrit''{{Fn|1a1b}} were specialized [[Alpha Legion]] infantry during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. {{Fn|1a}}
==Overview==
Seeking a further refinement of the [[Seeker Space Marine|Seeker]] concept, the Alpha Legion formed Kill Teams of skilled infiltrators who specialized in creating conditions of all-consuming chaos among the enemy's ranks. They sowed confusion by eliminating key officers, striking key positions, and sabotaging key assets. Had their activities been known by the [[Galaxy]] at large, they would have been greatly feared.{{Fn|11a}}
As the most skilled infiltrators and assassins in the Legion, Headhunters had access to the most advanced wargear the Alpha Legion could provide. This included specialized ammunition designed specifically to penetrate [[Power Armour]].{{Fn|11a}}
