	On the tabletop, the Jackal Alphus is a HQ unit unsurprisingly. With a BS of 2+ the Alphus is going to get a lot of use wielding the Jackal Sniper Rifle which is a 36" Heavy 1, S4, AP-2, D3 boomstick. So a typical sniper rifle really. What makes the Jackal Alphus cool is that she has the Priority Target Sighted rules which, at the start of the Shooting Phase, allows you to select an enemy unit within the range of the sniper rifle and allows an additional +1 to hit rolls for attacks made by friendly Genestealer Cultists until the end of the phase. Do note that the friendly Genestealer Cultists must be within 6" of the Jackal Alphus (Or within 12" if they are friendly [[Atalan Jackal\|Atalan Jackals]]) for it to work.
