Recon Element

3 DP

Detachment Rule: Masters of Camouflage

Reconnaissance infantry use face paint, camo-pattern fatigues, ghillie suits and more to conceal themselves from the foe. Vehicles are camouflaged using netting and disruptive camo patterns, enabling them to blend into surrounding terrain. Suitably outfitted, recon forces need only rely upon stealth and concealment rather than heavy armour for protection. ASTRA MILITARUM WALKER and REGIMENT models from your army have the Benefit of Cover . While such a model has the Benefit of Cover for any other reason (e.g. because it is wholly within a RUIN ), improve the Save characteristic of that model by 1 (to a maximum of 3+).
