===Kill Squad Troopers===
Used to enforce execution warrants or when extreme prejudice is required, '''Kill Squads''' are comprised of the special forces of [[Planetary Defence Force]]s and represent some of the most dangerous formations that can exist within the organisation of planetary Enforcers. The troops that comprise Kill Squads are often trained to the same elite level as most Imperial Storm Troopers, particularly on wealthy and technologically advanced Imperial planets. On some worlds, where the rule of the Planetary Governor is dictatorial and harsh, Kill Squad Troopers are the hated embodiments of their tyranny. Kill Squad Troopers are often equipped with a lighter form of "Enforcer" pattern Carapace Armour, along with a [[Photo-Visor]] helmet. Their usual armament is an [[Autogun]], with a [[Stub Automatic]] pistol as a sidearm.{{Fn|21}}
===Forward Observer===

House Vandis Militia during the Second Aurelian Crusade have some of their Storm Troopers deployed as Forward Observers with the ability to call in Artillery strikes on [[Blood Ravens]] sent to investigate [[Aurelia]] when it reappeared. They're equipped with Hotshot Lasguns, Carapace Armor and Vox Backpack in order to call in Artillery Stikes. {{Fn|41}}
