Since my Death Reapers are no longer based off humans I might as well explain what they are now based off.

Wastelanders are a alien race that are based in the Helios system. There bodies are in a constant state of evolution much like kroot but unlike kroot the do not change when they eat something but when they have something inserted into them. Because of this they can be transformed into space marines at almost any age but their biology does sometimes reject the new organs which leads to imediate death.

Wastelanders have six eyes, three on each side of there head, hey also have no ears but can sense vibrations and can taste the scent of enemies by licking the air with their tongues much like snakes. They also have large fangs in place of there normal teeth. They stand at the same size of a space marine in their adulthood and have the same strength of one as well, these strengths are only slighly magnified by turning into astates.

They mainly use their standard equipment which is highly powerful hunting rifles. Wastelanders hunt huge sand scorpions on there desert homeworld and their hunting rifles must be powerfull enough to penetrate their armoured hides, these rifles are known to penetrate terminator armour if aimed at he righ places. The second piece of equipment they use is incredibly advanced camo cloaks. The scorpions only means of finding heir prey is their eyes so the wastelanders have developed a cloak that renders them completely invisible at he cost of they can attack while the cloak is active. Some wastelanders stick with their own weapons but many switch to more versatile imperial weapons such as bolters and flame weapons.

(This is only a compact version I may be expading it soon)
