Meet the Hunter Clade: a 10-model Kill Team of Adeptus Mechanicus specialists! They're a versatile toolbox with Doctrina Imperatives, letting you adapt each turn. Rangers are deadly shooters with heavy weapons and targeting protocols, while Vanguard weaken enemies with Rad-Saturation. Sicarians bring speed: Infiltrators disrupt foes, and Ruststalkers are melee blenders with double Fight actions. Not the toughest (4+ save, 7-11 wounds), but they're fast (6" move) and can control the board with ploys like Control Edict. Perfect for players who love tactical flexibility!
