	Oh, and naturally they have some extra abilities to keep them alive and killing in close combat such as the Quicksilver Dodge which is essentially bullet time for Genestealers ([[Derp\|Just don't ask how you can bullet dodge something in a thick, heavy and restrictive cloak]]); this translates to have a 5+ invulnerable save not because the Locus if tough or anything, but because nobody can hit this bastard. The other unique ability is Quicksilver Strike which means that the Locus always strike first in the Fight Phase, even if it did not charge.

	Oh, and naturally they have some extra abilities to keep them alive and killing in close combat such as the Quicksilver Dodge which is essentially bullet time for Genestealers ([[Derp\|Just don't ask how you can bullet dodge something in a thick, heavy and restrictive cloak]]); this translates to have a 5+ invulnerable save not because the Locus if tough or anything, but because nobody can hit this bastard. The other unique ability is Quicksilver Strike which means that the Locus always strike first in the Fight Phase, even if it did not charge.

	In a nutshell, this guy hits fast and always hits first. A pretty intimidating opponent for assault-orientated units. ~~Just watch out for~~ Foul Blightspawns.
