Whilst they are as skilled with a rifle as any fellow Ratling, they possess the raw cunning to deploy and command their diminutive troops to best effect.  \nHARDBIT  \nThe most grizzled and experienced Ratlings are known by their kin as Hardbits. These warriors have often survived multiple deployments and learned to handle themselves in close combat as well as at extreme range.  \nBattlemutts are predominantly utilised as sentries, their keen senses enabling them to detect enemies and alert their Ratling masters. The harnesses worn by Battlemutts allow them to also serve a secondary role as ammunition and supply bearers.  \nSome Ratlings have been known to develop a knack for tinkering with explosives. These self-taught sappersuse tripwires, mines and remote explosives to confound any enemies attempting to outflank or infiltrate the Ratlings’ positions.  \nBIG SHOT  \nSome Ratlings prefer to hunt bigger prey. Big Shots utilise weapons known as tankstopper rifles. These guns are jury-rigged with an array of purloined or repurposed power packs and weapon components that enable them to pierce heavy armour.  \nOGRYN  \nBurly abhumans originating from high-gravity planets, Ogryns are occasionally fielded alongside Ratlings. These hulking soldiers view Ratlings as their ‘little mates’, and are extremely protective of them.  \nBULLGRYN  \nParticularly obstinate and resilient Ogryns are selected to serve as Bullgryns. They are outfitted with thick armour, heavy shields and brutal melee weapons, enabling them to bludgeon their foes to death in the thick of combat.  \n3   \nRAIDER  \nRaiders are equipped with grappling hook launchers and climbing gear, allowing them to swiftly ascend to locations to establish overwatch.  \nSPOTTER  \nRatling Spotters use magnoculars to detect targets and assist their squadmates in adjusting their aim when engaging distant foes.  \nSNEAK  \nSneaks reach concealed positions before using their night vision goggles and suppressed rifles to detect and quietly eliminate key targets.  \nSTASHMASTER  \nA Ratling Stashmaster is responsible for stockpiling, carrying and distributing ammunition, supplies or even contraband.  \nSNIPER  \nWhilst Ratlings are often underestimated by ally and foe alike, these marksmen are supremely deadly at long range.  \nVOX-THIEF  \nVox-thieves utilise listening devices to intercept enemy communications. These devices also function as midrange vox-casters.  \nRATLINGS KILL TEAM  \n4  \nRAT L ING S » K ILL TEAMSELECTION  \n\n| |  | Below you will find a list of the operatives that makeup a RATLING kill team, including, where relevant, any weapons specified for that operative. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| OPERATIVES |  |  |\n| ↘ 1 RATLING FIXER operative with one of the following options:\u003Cbr>• Battle rifle; fists\u003Cbr>• Sniper rifle; fists\u003Cbr>↘ 10 RATLING operatives selected from the following list:\u003Cbr>• BATTLEMUTT • BOMBER\u003Cbr>• BULLGRYN with one option • HARDBIT from each of the following: • RAIDER\u003Cbr>○ Grenadier gauntlet or • SNEAK power maul • SNIPER\u003Cbr>○ Brute shield or slabshield • SPOTTER\u003Cbr>• OGRYN • STASHMASTER\u003Cbr>• BIG SHOT • VOX-THIEF\u003Cbr>Other than BULLGRYN, OGRYN and SNIPER operatives, your kill team can only include each operative on this list once.\u003Cbr> You cannot select more than three of these operatives combined.
