The fearsome [[Catachan Jungle Fighter]] regiments include squads of warriors exceptional even by the exacting standards of their birth world. They are seasoned Jungle Fighters who are deadly in close combat, also making use of a versatile array of ranged weapons for every occasion. In [[Catachan]] regiments these elite soldiers are called '''"Catachan Devils"''', in reference to their famous [[Catachan Knives#Devil's Claw|kill-knives]] and the [[Catachan Devil|voracious predators]] of their world whose fierceness they emulate in combat. The Devils' senses are honed to a razor's edge, allowing them to recognise hidden threats in their midst, even enemies who are under cloaking devices.{{Fn|13}}{{Fn|14}}{{Fn|16}}
Their particular mission is usually to conduct long-range penetration raids deep behind enemy lines, responsible for bearing the brunt of the enemy's response when battle is finally joined. In other instances Devils are used as expert scouts and specialists, when deployed in this manner they range ahead of the main Catachan force, engaging enemy ambushers, launching surprise attacks, setting traps and herding enemy forces into the most dangerous of terrain. These squads consist of one veteran Sergeant and between four and nine "Catachan Devil" Guardsmen, some squads may also include a veteran officer. Even a regular Catachan is genetically superior on a level that normal humans simply cannot match, making the Devils elite reputation even more impressive. The greatest of these fearsome warriors is the famed '''"One Man Army"''', [[Sly Marbo]].{{Fn|13}}{{Fn|14}}{{Fn|16}}
