===Jump Pack Warrior=== [[File:Jump_Pack_Warrior.PNG|200px|right|thumb|It's like a one-man Assault Squad.]] An oddity among the Leagues, but the Kin don't really utilise jump packs as much as their Imperium cousins. Why that's the case remains to be seen, although a likelihood for that is merely a difference of doctrine (or GW has not finished making the kit yet). That doesn't mean that jump packs are ''outlawed'' in the Leagues, as the Jump Pack Warrior can attest. These guys are specialists that trained to use a jump pack. As jump packs aren't considered ubiquitous as aforementioned, special training is required. Once fully trained, the jump packs allow axe-wielding specialists to surmount any obstacles the team encounters. So to no ones surprise, these guys are close-range specialists. Now the nature of a jump pack is pretty situational. Depending on the type of Space Hulk, such a unit is not needed as a tight-confined space heavily limits where the Warrior could go due to how ungainly the jump packs are. But in Space Hulks with large open spaces or in areas that needs some oomph in their jumps (i.e. crevices), or areas with limited, reduced or no gravity, then these guys are very much relevant. These Warriors are armed with a [[Plasma#Plasma Axe|Plasma Axe]] and a [[Autoch Pattern Bolt Pistol]], with a spare pistol and a [[Plasma#Plasma Knife|Plasma Knife]] holstered on their [[Void Power Armour]]. On the Kill Team tabletop, they are a bit of an oddity, as the squats never had such an ability to wear jump packs before. Mobility can be quite handy since your Kin got stubby legs - especially when you spend 2 AP to make a mad dash across the board in a straight line, moving 12"/2 pentagons. The jump pack also gives a bit of momentum as charging gives their Plasma Axe the Brutal rule, which can do a lot for their alpha-strike potential. Curiously, they also have a set of climbing gear they can lay out for their fellow Kin. Since this guy doesn't really need anything of the sort, they can lay it out on any vantage point they're near so others can climb up to join them. Jump Pack Warriors are classified under Combat and Scout. {{Clear}}
