Saboteur

A custom Saboteur model lovingly created by Hollisten.

Saboteur are a type of operative utilized by the Alpha Legion.

Overview

Most often acting alone, the saboteur specializes in covert infiltration, assassination, and sabotage, acts that were usually considered beneath Space Marines. They make their presence known on the battlefield by the destruction they wreak, often in the opening moments of a major engagement when they strike at command centers and vital units or defenses, leaving the foe reeling before the Alpha Legion's onslaught.

For all intents and purposes, the Saboteur is a Space Marine version of an Operative. Although their role does overlap and clash with those of a Seeker Squad or a Effrit Headhunter, the biggest difference is that Saboteurs are always lone wolves and always work behind enemy lines, whereas Seekers and Effrits have a singular goal on infiltrate, assassinate and then exfiltrate. This means that Saboteur have the biggest brass balls out of any Space Marine as they must continue working deep in enemy territory with no back-up until the foe is completely fucked inside and out.

Due to their role needing the utmost stealth to avoid getting murked by enemy firepower, Saboteurs are often equipped with tools that help aid in their expertise. This may include the Mark VI: Corvus Armour, Cameleoline, Power Daggers and an assortment of booby traps, timed explosives and silenced weapons.
