Editing Despoiler Squad (section)

===Horus Heresy 1.0===

In the tabletop the Despoiler Squad are basically the same as the fluff, Assault Marines without jetpacks. Offers a fine balance between Tacticals and Assault marines. The [[Sons of Horus]] seem to really like the Despoilers, having created their own variant called the '''Reaver''', which are comparable to Legion Veterans with 2 Attacks base, as well as Outflank and Precision Shots and Strikes. Precision Shots and Strikes lets Reavers pick off sergeants, special and heavy weapons users and Apothecaries, which is very useful. Unlike Veterans, [[Derp|they don't come standard with a bolter]]. Their wargear is assault-oriented: Ranged weapon choices are Bolters/Combi-Weapons with Banestrike shells for AP3 Rending or Volkite chargers for extra wounds (so your longest ranged attack is 18") and one in five can take a special weapon. Any model can have a Chainaxe for just 1pt, or a more expensive Power Weapon or Power Fist. They can also come with a jump pack for an extra 50pts, making them essentially, Assault Marines in all but name.
