The Alpha Legion attained a total mastery of subterfuge during the Horus Heresy, largely because almost every opponent of worth they were tasked with destabilising was another Space Marine.
Sometimes, however, clever disguises and unseen infiltration aren’t a match for power armour, and a really big gun designed for the express purpose of annihilating Astartes is what you need. Enter Exodus, the Assassin.
No one knows for sure if Exodus is one supremely skilled assassin or a cabal of cool-headed killers who constantly shift priority and targets. The One Who Is Many always seems always to be in the right place at the right time – and sometimes even in two places simultaneously. Whatever it takes to land the killing blow.
Regardless of who or what Exodus is, they couple the battle-prowess and genetic conditioning of a Space Marine with the skill and wargear of a master assassin. Many have tried to deploy countermeasures to protect themselves from Exodus, but The Hidden Hand ensures that they deliver that fatal shot from almost anywhere on the battlefield.
Their unique sniper rifle, known as The Instrument, comes with Sunder and Pinning on its Rapid Shot profile. Deadly Aim also grants the Exodus Brutal (2) on their Execution Shots if they remain stationary.
What’s more, this elusive executioner has a veritable shopping list of wargear, including a Refractor Field, Melta bombs, and plenty more besides, making him a flexible one-man army*.
You’ll be able to puzzle your foes with this master warrior in the near future. Sign up for the Warhammer Community newsletter to get all the latest Horus Heresy news sent straight to the inbox, free from Alpha Legion misinformation.
*Or is he a many-man army?
