Legion Seeker Squad

A Legion Seeker Squad was a specialised unit of the ancient Space Marine Legions used during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras in the late 30th and early 31st Millennia. These squads specialised in infiltration behind enemy lines and identifying an enemy's command structure and taking it out in order to cause anarchy within the enemy's ranks.

History
Legion Seeker Squads were formed from those Legionaries who were chosen on pure merit as the best marksmen in their Legion. Comprised of a specialised force of Space Marines it was the job of a Seeker strike force to identify and take out an enemy's command structure, its warlords, officers, priests, demagogues, whatever they may be, and slay them with a well-placed bolt round while the chaos of battle raged around them. The Alpha Legion are said to have first crystalised this tactic and squad configuration, with the Emperor's approval, spread to the other Legions, although its use sat poorly within the combat doctrine of some. Often, a Seeker strike force would be forced to rely on the briefest window of opportunity to take down their targets at close range, rather than have the luxury of distance and able sighting as a sniper in a Legion Reconnaissance Squad might have. To aid them in the kill, Seeker squads were usually equipped with special issue ammunition (Kraken, Scorpius and Tempest bolt shells) and Combi-weapons where applicable, to better deal with their chosen victims.
