Vindicare Temple

The most prominent feature of the Vindicare Temple is that it trains its subjects to near-perfection in the art of marksmanship; they aim to take out the Emperor's worst enemies with a single bullet. Vindicare Assassins are also trained in stealth and evasion techniques as well as marksmanship in order that they may get into the most advantageous position from which to make their shot. The idea behind this is that a kill can only be made from the best position. Indeed, Vindicare Assassins have been known to occupy a position for days, or even weeks, before taking their shot.

The Vindicare are often employed in eliminating individuals who are suspected of harbouring daemonic entities. The hopes are that they can eliminate the host before the daemon is able to manifest itself on the material plane. Characters of great charisma, false prophets and false messiahs among them, have fallen to the Vindicare's bullet, most commonly whilst they are preaching their false beliefs to their followers. Upon this swift, brutal, and yet simple death, the erstwhile followers soon become disheartened and afraid. Countless heresies have been prevented with a single, well-aimed shot where legions of men would have failed.

Vindicare are armed with their trademark Exitus rifles, loaded with standard high power ammunition as well as several more exotic shells. These include shield-breaker rounds which can bypass shielding, Turbo-penetrators that can pierce a heavily armoured tank, and Hellfires which carry a potent mutagenic acid into the target. They wear Stealth suits that mask their visibility in every spectra, and sophisticated Spy masks that allow them to pick out their target no matter the light level or cover. They also carry high powered Exitus pistols for close quarter work.

Occasionally Vindicare are also employed to take on demolition work, such as destroying an artillery battery or taking out a siege factory. In these cases the assassin utilizes the same stealth and remoteness that he does in sniping his target, usually using remote charges and incendiary shells.
