Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Skitarii (section)

===HQ===
Like the Harlequins, you don't have to take one. Thank the Omnissiah, because to make an effective one you'd wind up dumping several hundred points into wargear.

Fluffwise this is due to Skitarii being directed by Techpriests who have the good sense to send orders remotely from orbit instead of risking their necks on the ground. Interestingly these orders are seen as guidance from the Omnissiah to the Skitarii instead of orders from a superior. And by this we mean they feel compelled to do, instead of follow orders.

Alternate opinion: Alpha Primus/walking arsenal Haldron-44 Stroika begs to differ.

You can now take Belisarius Cawl, Celestine, or Greyfax as a HQ for any Army of the Imperium (thank you fall of cadia) - you could take skitarii in a CAD/Allied Detachment. This also means you can finally take the juicy superheavies from Forge World that these guys get access to.
