Detachment Rule
Stealth Optimisation
Hunter Cohorts combine a mastery of stealth warfare and cogitational analysis with stealth screen projectors and target-fouling apparatuses. They are elusive foes to face, and especially sinister to those they have designated as prey.
SKITARII INFANTRY, SKITARII MOUNTED and IRONSTRIDER BALLISTARII units from your army have the Stealth ability, and each time a ranged attack targets a SICARIAN unit from your army, unless the attacking model is within 12", the target has the Benefit of Cover against that attack.
