===Mutants===
Mutant rank-and-file troops start with a Mutation, effectively giving most of them a free skill right from the start. They also have excellent access to psychic powers. Notably, a Mutant Gunner is the only way to get a Large, unarmored model with the skill that lets you use heavy weapons. When Mutants hire [[https://1d4chan.org/wiki/This_Is_Not_A_Test/Tactics/Freelancers#Human_Freelancers Human Freelancers]], they have the option to switch their type to Mutant, and buy them a Hidden Mutation for 10 BS.

Instead of choosing a leader, Mutants choose the "Down-Winder" or "Outcast" warband types, which give them unique Elites. The former has access to Emissaries, your only Medic option, while Outcasts gain Abominations - feral close-combat specialists who start with ''four'' Skills or mutations, but need to pick two Detriments as well. Their bonus specialist is the "Dominant", which effectively means paying 3 points to choose a Hidden Mutation instead of rolling on the Mutation tables when you hire the model.
