	The Sanctus is a type of Genestealer Hybrid assassin that kills anyone who poses a problem to the Cult's activities or its survival.

	As you've probably gathered by now, the Sanctus is an elite assassin with a WS and BS of 2+. Wearing a camo-cloak is also an important accessory for the Sanctus to truly remain hidden within the shadows, granting a +2 to armor saves instead of the normal +1. And just to make the Sanctus even more terrifying, his Soulsight Familiar lets him ignore a target's cover bonus, while also granting a couple of extra S4 attacks in melee- rather like the icing upon a cake made of turbo-[[rape]].

Equipped with a Camo Cloak, shooting him is going to be tricky on the tabletop. On top of that, the Sanctus is also rocking an anti Pskyer weapon called the Silencer Sniper Rifle, which on the surface looks like your typical sniper rifle, a 36" Heavy 1, S4, AP-1, D3 weapon, nothing much to talk about until you read its special rules.

	If you fancy a more melee options then he can take a knife that always ~~wound~~ on a 2+ except against ~~Titanics~~ and Vehicles, AP-2, D2 and with 5 attacks which hits on a 2+, that is a pretty good bang for your buck if you drop him against some bikers or other elite units.		And just to make that sniper more terrifying, their Soulsight Familiar lets them ignore cover while making their shots. While those familiars are also able to make some paltry S4 AP- D1 attacks, these are more of an icing upon a cake made of turbo-[[rape]].

	Oh yeah, and although the Sanctus can never have a Warlord Trait, he at least gets a free 'A Perfect Ambush' Strategem when used. Oh yes, you heard us right, '''''a free 3CP Strategem'''''. Time to [[Cheese]] you way up boys.		Oh yeah, and although the Sanctus can never have a Warlord Trait, he at least gets a free 'A Perfect Ambush' Strategem when used.

	The Sanctus is a type of Genestealer Hybrid assassin that kills anyone who poses a problem to the Cult's activities or its survival. Seriously, as if a normal Genestealer isn't scary or ''sneaky'' enough, might as well throw in the Genestealer's equivalent of the [[Assassinorum]] while your at it.
