==Organization==
Ork Hunters are known to employ elite teams made up of their deadliest members, comparable to the [[Storm Troopers]] of the [[Militarum Tempestus]] who are called in to aid other regiments.{{Cite this}}
Operating in small bands across their vast equatorial jungles, Armageddon's Ork Hunters hold a fearsome reputation for feral cunning. These hardened veterans, clad in crude armor adorned with trophies from fallen greenskins, have adapted their tactics to match their adversaries. Adopting the art of guerilla warfare, they hunt one of the galaxy's most profilic Xenos in their own domain. Brutal combat has stripped away conventional military pretense from these warriors, who understand that survival demands becoming something even their enemies have learned to fear.{{Fn|5}}
'''Ork Hunter Firesweep Teams -''' The Ork Hunters of Armageddon have developed many different tactics since the Second Armageddon War in an effort to rid the jungles of Armageddon Secundus of the many Feral Orks that infest the region. Lethal toxins have been developed and tested, as well as many traps designed purely to wipe out as many Orks as possible. At the forefront of the Ork Hunters continuing war against their primitive enemy, though, are the elite '''Firesweep Teams''', squads of the regiment's most skilled warriors, those that have been battle-hardened by years of fighting in the jungle. Armed with flamer weapons, they can clear huge areas of the jungle of all Ork infestation within hours and in pitched battle their bravery gives them a keen advantage over any Ork hoping to hide within the dense undergrowth. Some of these elite warriors have even been known to wield the crude and heavy axes of the Orks in close combat.{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|2}}
