ELITES

The Death Stalkers are some of the few survivors of the original 1st company, somehow altered to have prolonged lives. They get their name from the days of the Chaos invasion, when they were seen stalking the fields of the dead, searching for any Traitor Marines that may have survived the Eternal Warriors' counterattack. They are known for their love of personal combat. The Death Stalkers preferred Power Swords, because the shimmering blue power field around the weapon often makes the superstitious Chaos Cultists even more afraid of these savage warriors. They have retained the use of their power swords to this day for that reason.

Squad: A squad consists of 9 Death Stalkers troops and 1 Death Stalkers Sergeant.

Weapons: Power sword and chainsword (counts as close combat weapon).

Wargear: The entire squad may be given frag grenades at a cost of +10 points, krak grenades at a cost of +20 points, and/or bolt pistols at +20 points.

The entire squad may be given jump packs at a cost of +100 points.

Any model may be given a bolt gun at +2 points.

Special: All normal Eternal Warriors rules apply. In addition, Death Stalkers are Fearless.

Berzerk Charge: Death Stalkers get to double their attacks on the turn in which they charge. Their proficiency with their swords is such that they can parry when charging, and they cannot be parried by their opponents. They weave a mystifying pattern with their swords that causes fear in the hearts of their opponents.   Any unit being assaulted will strike last on the turn that Death Stalkers charge into close combat.
