One of many specialised castes of cyborg warriors available to the Adeptus Mechanicus; the Pteraxii are optimised for instinctive reaction and agility. Pteraxii’s reflexes are accentuated by paring back elements of cogitation that impede their primary function. Implanted with additional limbstumps – scapuli superior – on their back; a flight pack of thrusters and reactive life surfaces is connected to them. The flight packs become part of the Pteraxii; who serve in several roles. Skystalkers find optimal vantage points from which to pick off their targets – whether isolated battlefield marks or feral psyber familiars and servo-cherubim – with flurries of razor-sharp flechettes.Pteraxii Skystalkers are armed with flechette carbines; enabling them to unleash a withering storm of solid shot at their enemies from a safe distance. The unit's Alpha is instead equipped with a flechette blaster and taser goad. They offer superb anti-infantry fire support; but they also carry braces of arc grenades which they can drop among the enemy as they soar overhead.This kit can alternatively be used to build a unit of Pteraxii Sterylizors instead; meaning that regardless of which unit you assemble; you'll end up with plenty of spare components for customising your collection.This kit is supplied in 115 plastic components and is supplied with 5 Citadel 40mm Round Bases and flying stems. Also included is an Adeptus Mechanicus transfer sheet.
