Editing Codex - The Banished (section)

===Specialized Infantry===

'''Bloodfuel Unggoys:''' Certain Unggoys are given privileged access to Siphon Weapons, becoming a potent anti-infantry team dedicated to draining the life force of the enemy whilst healing wounded allies at the same time. Bloodfuel Unggoys come in a group of three and have the "Siphon" special ability.

'''Jiralhanae Snipers:''' Most Jiralhanae prefer melee combat, their weapons being close ranged and often meant for firing at an opponent while moving into melee range. This is not so for the Jiralhanae Snipers who prefer to slay enemies from as far as possible. Jiralhanae Snipers always carry a Disrupter Pistol as a secondary weapon and wield a Shock Rifle or Skewer as a primary weapon. In addition, they carry a backpack with an antenna that's linked to a helmet mounted sensor system so that they can better detect and shoot enemies. 

'''Huragok Squad:''' A very useful support unit, dubbed as Engineers in Low Gothic, these Xenos are an anomaly among the Universe, studied by Xenologists they are regarded as "Living Computers" and are noted to be created entirely artificially, despite their appearance. Although weak and fragile, these units are vital in the Banished army as it gives them two unique abilities called "Flatuence Harmony" which allows them to repair vehicles, and "Protection of the Hierarchs" which gives ALL units a powerful energy shield, granting or improving their invulnerable save.
*'''Infused Huragok:''' Under constant experiments by Voridus, these new type of Engineers have adapted and incorporated Infusion Gel within its own bodies. Whilst they still act as regular Huragoks, these Infused Engineers have replaced their "Flatuence Harmony" and "Protection of the Hierarchs" with a weapon called "Infusion Spit" which works on a similar level with the Jiralhanae Grenadiers.

'''Skimmers:''' The Banished have no Drones present in their forces and Atriox even gave up the opportunity to change that when he decided to smash a device that would allow him to mind control an army of Drones, declaring that he will only accept willing followers. However, the Banished have very recently gotten a species with a similar tactical niche that they call Gasgira or Skimmers as humans call them. Skimmers are a xenos species with two tridactyl (three-fingered) hands and four legs ending with feet bent backwards in a hyperextended position that hinders terrestrial locomotion. Their bodies share many features with The Harbringer. Skimmers rely on a thruster packs for locomotion but unlike Drones who surround armies in swarms to pepper them with weak shots, Skimmers are fewer in number and tend to fly closer to the ground, but carry heavier and/or longer ranged weapons such a as autoguns, shock rifles or even missile launchers in addition to Dynamo grenades for flushing out enemies. Skimmers are an enigma to the Imperium, they have no presence in the Covenant that the Banished split off from and have no other records of a previous existence, seemingly having materialized out of nothing to fight alongside the Banished. To even say they are part of the Banished is a misnomer as intercepted communications and interrogations of prisoners have revealed that the Banished know as much about the Skimmers as the Imperium and that Skimmers are actually under the command of their reluctant ally, The Harbringer. The presence of Skimmers is only tolerated by the other species, with most members disparagingly refering to them as "it", "bugs" or "the creature".
