	*'''Aberrant''': A solid melee unit with slightly better defensive potential than most of your units. It can take a power hammer, but the power pick is cheaper, and good enough against most things in kill team. Be careful with them though, they are not as tough as they look, and tend to draw a lot of fire.

	*'''Purestrain Genestealer''': For all their damage output, this units biggest weakness is its durability. A single wound and 5++ save mean that if you play them recklessly, they could easily get shot to pieces before they have a chance to do anything. Make sure there is always something to break line of sight, advance every turn (usually no reason not to), try to pick off vulnerable units, like heavy weapon teams, and they should have no problems earning their points back.		*'''Purestrain Genestealer''': For all their damage output, this units biggest weakness is its durability.

	*'''Sanctus''': Slightly less reliable as a sniper than the Jackal Alphus, unless you are hunting psykers, but unlike the Jackal Alphus, it only takes up a special slot. If you go for the bio-dagger instead you get an absurd damage output , with 5 attacks hitting and wounding on a 2+. The trade off is that apart from unquestioning loyalty, there isn't much to keep him alive, so make sure you have disposable infantry around to take hits for him.		*'''Sanctus''': Slightly less reliable as a sniper than the Jackal Alphus, unless you are hunting psykers, but unlike the Jackal Alphus, it only takes up a special slot.
