Your average Battle-Pilgrym is especially durable even by Space Marine standards, packing 2 Wounds and Toughness 4 with a respectable Save of 4+ – not too shabby, especially against basic boltguns and lasrifles. A 6+ invulnerable save means they’re resilient even against the most powerful weapons – unlike Space Marines, they even have a low chance of tanking lascannon shots. This extra resilience doesn’t bog them down either, as the
Fast (2) rule gives them an extra burst of speed when they make a Rush move, helping them get into position quickly.
You’ll want to get up close too, as their voltlock arquebuses are relatively short-ranged by boltgun standards but pack a real wallop. Like all volkite weapons, they have the
Deflagrate rule, which scores some extra hits when damage is dealt. This is especially valuable when you use them in large units of up to 16 Skitarii. While they won’t be punching through power armour any time soon, they can still do some serious damage to a Space Marine unit.*
