	Shadowhunters have a very limited effective combat range due to this role.

Eventually, however, the sheer number of Tyranids overwhelming the Shadowhunters and they were forced to join the larger vessels in deeper space fighting counter-actions.

	The Aconite-class is armed with an advanced laser Weapons Battery and their speed allows them to circle enemy capital ships and attack them from behind, away from their main defensive weapons systems. They usually operate in groups of three or four ships and can lay down fire equal to that of a battleship's broadside. At least three Imperial capital ships and several Chaos vessels were destroyed including the Unholy Dominion.
