Death-Cult Assassin

"I whisper to my blades 'Kill, kill!'"

When the Adeptus Ministorum needs someone slain, they call upon their daughters of death, the lethal and fanatical Death-Cult Assassins. Preternaturally agile and capable of dodging the most vicious melee attacks, the Assassins slip behind enemy lines slaying commanders and other key personnel. In addition, the Death-Cult's stealth and observation skills make them ideal for spotting enemy units infiltrating their main force. A few well-placed Death-Cult Assassins in the right locations can cause more confusion and terror than a heavy tank.

Tactics

The Death-Cult Assassin excels at dealing with elite Tier 3 infantry and unattached commanders of any level. XV88 Broadside Battlesuits are particularly susceptible to her attacks as they are often kept out of the main mass of the army for easier pathing, but this also makes it easier for her to reach them. Keeping an Assassin or two mixed in with Sister Repentia Squads and other melee units can keep the Assassins unnoticed and provide them with a meat shield even if they're detected.

Locating an enemy Death-Cult Assassin can be tricky. Without active detectors near her location and no bright weapons fire flashing towards her target, she can operate without interference for quite some time. As a lone unit, she doesn't present the usual pathing interference that an entire infiltrated squad would present. Although her attacks have a small flash on impact, the best detection method is by sound. Her attacks have a loud electrical crack regardless of whether or not she has been detected, but only when she is onscreen. If you hear this noise, get detectors on hand quickly and move your army to get them out of melee. It is nearly impossible to successfully engage the Death-Cult Assassin in melee even when detected thanks to her special dodge ability and powerful melee weapon, but her low health and Infantry High armor make it very easy to gun her down with ranged weaponry once she is detected.
