A Salamanders Incursor armed with an Occulus Bolt Carbine.
An Incursor, usually part of an Incursor Squad, is a close support Primaris Space Marine unit that fulfils an aggressive, close-quarters gun-fighting role within Adeptus Astartes forces.
Their missions typically see them storming defended positions, sweeping the flanks of spearhead advances or rapidly knocking out strategic enemy assets such as power generatorums and communication centres.
Key to this role are the paired wargear technologies of their Occulus Bolt Carbines and the Divinator-class auspexes that feed directly into their highly advanced transpectral combat visors.
Role[]
This remarkable combination of visual and multi-spectral observation-and-analysis technologies contained in the paired Divinator-class auspex and Occulus Bolt Carbine gathers every scrap of data from the wearer's surroundings. It employs a slaved Machine Spirit (artificial intelligence) to collate the findings at a thousand times the speed of Human thought and feed the resultant data into the Incursor's field of vision.
Armed with this tightly-controlled flood of intelligence, these warriors fight in an almost precognitive fashion.

Incursors can see their foes through solid walls, thick smoke and absolute darkness; they can detect the high-altitude telltales of incoming drop troops, the prematerialisation energy signatures of teleporting foes and the tectonic tremors that indicate enemies about to emerge from tunnels, ducts and the like.
They can even build predictive models of their opponents' fighting patterns in real time, allowing them to foreshadow their foes' attacks with killing shots fired before the enemy even moves into their gunsights.
Coupled with potent close-quarters firepower, specialist training in vicious knife-fighting techniques and heavy duty Haywire Mines to knock out enemy armour, these warriors are a truly potent asset.
Whether fighting through the corridors of an enemy fortress or engaging in brutal pitched firefights on the battlefield, few foes can withstand the Incursors' assault.
